insurance. The Dickson building
is one of the finest III Berwick.
Foster Richard, an employe of
the company, remained in the eX-
change for the purpose of prevent
ing just such thing as occurred.
Shortly before I o'clock he saw a
big fash all over the switchboard,
as the heavier current jumped in
and burned out the fuses. He
seized buckets CT sand provided for
such an emergency, but after
throwing them on, found that there
was blaze beyond his control. He
turned in an alarm of fire, and the
firemen were unable to extinguish
it before the damage was done.
The light wire had been blown
against the telephone wire at the
outside of the building.

ONE GOOD SIDE OF A MAN.

Big Tim" Sullivan, the wellknown
New \ ork Tammany leader, held his
annual distribution of shoes and
stockings for the Bowery poor on
Sunday, and, of course lost nothing
of his political prestige by this prac-
teal charity. The amiable Tammany
boss hands oat shoes with tears i'll his
ewes. figuratively speaking, and tells
a story of how he will never forget
the kindness of a teacher who shod
his hare feet when he himself was a
youngster at school, poor and friend
less. 1t is in concentration of this
event that he shoes" the poor of the
Bowery annually.
Whatever may be the motive OF the
politicians generosity, and it is not
hard 10 find, we must admit that he
does a deal of good to great many
poverty stricken people with his shoe
uarties and his free excursions. What
if ne does rule his following with a
hand of iron and control a substantial
vote admiration is due his sagacity
for bestowing real benefits upon his
ragged henchmen? Probably some OF
the shoes and stockings that he gave
away were exchanged for a round of
drinks. but many miserable wretch
halt and blind, deaf and dumb, bless
ed the name of the ample wasted
boss, when their feet were encased
in warm leather and WOODEN. 1t was

York and the thousands in line were
kept warm by steaming hot coffee

started his philanthropy with an eye
to material returns. and figured that
he was casting bread upon the waters

this stage of his game of charity, his

ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FoF
BRUNSWICK AND GLYNN
COUNTY.

The address of F. G. Eason, assfs-
tant drainage engineer of the United
States government, who is on detailed
service in this section of the state,
before a delegation of Brunswick and
Glynn county people at the county
court-hou yesterday, came in the
nature Of message from the federal
government to the people of this COM
munity, The attitude of the govern
ment on this ali-important matter of
drainage is in accordance with its gen.
eral conservation policy, most liberal
and broad-minded. The government,
in the past. as Mr.. Eason explained
yesterday, has been making lots of
these drainage surveys in the south
during the last few years, which have
been fruitiess so far as results are
concerned. The people of this sec
ton. unwisely not following the prac
tice of the people of the west, have
not been utilizing the surveys and
the estimates and specifications, when
furnished with them by the govern
ment. AS a result the authorities at
Washington have grown to he more
cautious in the matter of ordering
these drainage surveys in the south.
Now. the government desires before
rendering any very practical or valu-
able assistance, some EXPRESSION,
some assurance on the part Of the
people. that they really intend to drain
its a fair proposition for the agree
ment of Uncle Sam, in case we do
convince him of our good intentions,
is a very liberal and very valuable
one. All of the preliminary engineer
ing work, and that's the most impor-
tant part of good system OF drain
age. complete surveys, thorough plans
and specifications and estimates of
cost. laying out canals, etc, are some
of the things which the government
proposes TO do for us gratis, when we
make the showing that all of this
work will not be in vain and that we
will do our full duty.
That the people of this community
are keenly alive to the Importance
of the proposition is manifested in
the deep interest displayed at yes
terday's meeting, which was marked
by general enthusiasm on the part OF
the very representative gathering
present.
1t is indeed fortunate that the gov
eminent has been induced to detail
one of its representatives to this city
at this time. when we are turning to
the matter of agriculture and unless
we mistake the temper of the people
of this community, who surely must
see the necessity for some other in
dustry, to reinforce the commerce of
the port. that meeting of yesterday,
marks the beginning of what will re-
suit in system of drainage in Glynn
calculated to place this COM
munity where it properly belcngs-ln
the very front rank of farming sec

The government is right; it wants
TO see some evidences of desire of
tae people to help themselves. along
drainage lines, before it goes to the
cost of sending out engineers, etc.

is to show Uncle ,am that we mean
business. Es 81

today when there was offered at ex-
