A Printer Named Clay Was Burned
to Death in Building. Cigarette
Causes Disastrous Fire.
MACON, Ga.-The Macon Tele-
graph building was completely quilted
by fire early Thursday evening. The
loss is estimated at 100000, COW
cred by 80 peT cent insurance.
Raymond Clay, a printer, was
burned to death. He had come to
the city from Knoxville, Tenn, look
ing for work, and, without sleep,
lay down to get some rest in the
rear of the composing room. The
fire spread with such great rapidity
from the back to the front of the
building that Clay was forgotten in
the rush for safety by the other en-
ployes.
Only about half of the files of the
paper dating back for Is years were
saved. c. r. Pendleton, editor of
the paper, also it is feared lost a
valuable collection of old works on
history and Georgia subjects.
The fire, as far as can be learned,
started from three boys smoking
cigarettes at the back of the build
ing, a butt" dropping into some pa
per. The flames leaped up and spread
as though the building were finder.
The efforts of the firemen were con-
fined chiefly to keeping the flames
from spreading to the adjoining
buildings, one Of which is occupied by
The Macon Evening News. Half an
hour after it was seen that The Tele-
graph plant was a total loss the
working force was transferred to
The Evening News Office and the reg
u'ar morning edition was being got
ten out.

They were more than popular

which had stood for so years or
more in a frightfully unprotected
condition and all unconscious of the
impending danger.
"On these locating trips it was
absolutely necessary that the light

along with him to hold the reins
while he examined the impending
dangers and explained the dangers
of the elements to the farmers, and

IN MEMORY OF A CHILD.
Death of the Little Babe of Mr.. and
Mrs. ID. w. Bryant.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs D. w.
Bryant was ineXpressably saddened
on the morning of the 21st by the
sudden descent Of the Death Angel
who bore away the soul of their lit
tie darling babe aged twenty
months. Although his stay on earth
was short he will be greatly missed
by the parents, and little friends,
but they must be reconciIed, as God
worketh everything we'll and the lit
tie ones sufferings are over and we
can realize that Jesus died for him
and he will be His when he come to
wake up his jewels. Flozella was
a sweet little child, and was the
idol of his parents, and loved by
all. In the years to come the now
grief-stricken father and mother
will be able to thank God that their
darling was translated before his
tender feet had been torn on lifes
rough way. We must trust Him who
said: Suffer little children to come
unto me, for such is the kingdom
0t heaven"
How many fair and noble forms
have Mother Earth enclosed in her
breast during the eventful year of
1910! How many jewels in earthly
casketS have Leen claimed by the
Master to ne put in golden settings
near this throne?
Oh! that darling, how we lov4d
him.
Oh! how hard to give him up,
But an angel came down for him,
And removed him from our flock.
Farewell, but not forever. There
will be glorious dawn. We shall
meet to part no more on the resurrec-
tiOn morn.

ed from life's wilderness TO bloom

The old man was in a reminiscent
mood as he told of the days of
long ago. He was here attending
the reunion of the old soldiers, says
the Columbus Ledger, and being an
interesting talker he always had a
large crowd around him.
He had been telling Of his adven-
lures under Lee and other leaders
of the civil war, of the reCOnstruc-
ton days of the south, of memories
of his childhood and youth and the
things that had impressed him later
in life when he sighed and said:
The country does not seem to look
just like it did when l was young
man"
Continuing he said:
when | was a young man every
house was decorated with lightning
rods. They sprouted ON the chin
neys and grew from the cutters;
they fourished on the peaks of the
barns and luXuriated on the sum-
mer houses; even the pig sty had a
couple lest they should come to an
untimely end before they were prop
erly fattened, and as for the hen
houses-why one could hardly tell
where the roosters tail feathers
properly left off and the lightning
rods began. Why, the family that
did not have at least three dozen

too humble to be fit associates for
one of any self-respect, and you

Lightning Rod Man.
The lightning rod man made a
call on us at least once a year, and
somehow he always found an unex-
pected spot that had been overlooked
the previous year, and a new con-
tract had to be drawn up and signed
I remember one prominent man who
had a flag pole in his yard that
seemed very tall indeed to me in
those days, and he at first had the
little gilded ball at the top of the
pole fitted with a single rod Then
a lightning rod man came along and
pursuaded him that there ought to
be a rod on the other side of the
pole in case the lightning came from
that direction, so ne added another
rod directly opposite the first. The
following year a new man convinced
him that he had made grave M =
take in protecting only the north
and south sides Of the pole when
most of the thunderstorms came
from the east and west, so two more
rods were added to protect the other
points of the compass. The flag
