Fifteen Occupants Had Narrow Es-
capes, and Lost Everything.
Census Papers Burned.

The hotel at Pretoria burned to
the ground at midnight Thursday
night, and its fifteen occupants bare
ly escaped with their lives.
The hotel was run by Mrs. John
Griffin. 1t contained about twenty
sleeping rooms, with separate
building for dining room and kitch-
en-.
The car repair shops of the dis
mantled cypress mill were also de-
stroyed.
The hotel building with it's con-
tents, was insured for $4,000. There
was no insurance on the car repair
shops Two logging cars were also
burned. The total loss was about
$1,000.
Several occupants of the hotel had
very narrow escapes.
Mrs, Griffin, the proprietor, es-
capped in her night clothes and a pair
of slippers. Mr.. Griffin was caught
in his room and was forced to drop
from a second-story window. His
hands were slightly burned and his
ears blistered.
None of the buildings occupants
saved any of their personal effects,
and none had chance to save any
thing except their night clothes.
1T is not known how the fire
started, but it is supposed that an ex-
ploding oil lamp was the cause. At
the time the fire broke out there was
only one light in the building. An
occupant of one of the rooms had
left lamp burning while he was
away, and as the fire was first dis
covered in that part of the building
it is supposed that this lamp started
the fire.
All of the schedules and other pa
pers of Mr.. w. c. Methvin, the CEN
sus enumerator for that district, and
who had practically completed his
work, were lost in the fire. Mr..
Methvin has been supplied with a
new outfit, and has begun another
canvass of his territory.

The Disease Serious and It's Cure

'"Pellagra is such a serious disease
and the cure has been so hopeless
patience should be shown with all
theories for relief" This statement
by DIR. Howard of New York to a
group of skin specialists of the Con-
gress of Physicians and Surgeons, in
session at Washington, was taken as
a recognition of the unsuccessful
fight against pellagra.
Doctors w. T. Corlett and G. T.
Schultz presented to the dermatolo-
gists paper on pellagra in Ohio.
DR.. j. w. Babcock of Columbia, S.
c., president of the National Pella-

been recognized in about twenty-six
or twenty-seven states, but it was
most prevalent in Virginia and the
South Atlantic and Gulf states
Skepticism about it's existence, he
said, was being removed He told OF

DAWSON TO THE FRONT

ton $25O,O00 capital and not less
than 1925, 900 surplus
There is a special and unlimited
field open to a great home company
practically untouched and as large
as the combined field of all the COM
panies in the United States, COM
pany so different in purpose, scope
and usefulness that people will won
der why it was not formed long ago.
A corporation whose guardian is
the state of Georgia, yet whose fu-
ture operations are without limit.
Life insurance is based on a math-
ematical foundation that is unvary-
ing, and all elements of risk and
chance are crushed out. The state
prescribes the class of securities that
must be held as investments, there
fore all danger of loss through worth
less investments is eliminated and
the books of the company are con-
stantly under the supervision of the
Department of Insurance.
And by the above a company
formed under the Legal Reserve Laws
of Georgia is just as safe, substan-
tial, strong and reliable as a COM
pany doing business in New York
with millions of assets.
Legal reserve means that a speci-
fed sum shall be collected from each
premium of insurance and placed in
securities prescribed by the state, and
is such sum that will pay the policy
at the death of the insured or at its
maturity. This sum is a set and
fixed amount used by all legal re-
serve or old line companies which
does not vary nor does it change, and
is the table upon which all insur-
ance companies operate, which proves
and demonstrates that company
formed and operated in Dawson, Ga,
is on exactly the same basis as any
one formed and operated in any other
section.
As Regards the Management of Life
Insurance Companies.
The following extract is taken from
the insurance laws of the state as
regards boards of directors: THAT
at the first meeting of stockholders
there shall be elected a board of di-
rectors of not less than five and not
more than fifteen to manage the af7
fairs of said company" The maxi
mum number will be secured and
that number will represent fifteen
of the most influential men of South
Georgia.

PRETORIA HOTEL IS BURNED
A MOVING MOUNTAIN,
Strange Phenomenon of Nature in
Oregon.

OFeSOHs
A travelling mountain is found at
the Cascades of the Columbia in Ore
gon. 1t is a triple peaked mass of
dark brown basalt six or eight miles
in length where it fronts the river,
and rises to a height of almost 1000
feet above the water. That it is in
motion is the last thought which
would be likely to suggest itself to
the mind of any one passing it, yet
it is well established fact that this
entire mountain is moving slowly but
steadily down the river, as if it had
a deliberate purpose some time in
the future to dam the Columbia and
form great lake from the Cascades
to the Dalles.
The railway engineers and the
brakemen find that the line of the
railway, which skirts the foot of the
mountain, is being continually forced
out of place. At certain points the
permanent way and rails have been
pushed eight or ten feet out of line
in a few years.
Biologists attribute this strange
phenomenon to the fact that the
basalt, which constitutes the bulk of
the mountain, rests on a substratum
of soft sandstone, which the deep,
swift current of the mighty river is
constantly wearing away, or that this
softer sub-rock is of itself yielding
at great depths to the enormous
weight of the harder mineral above.

to the sleeping car conductor the pre-
sumption is that the passenger will
be asleep when he reaches his desti-
nation, and that the obligation would
apparently rest, upon the conductor
to see that the passenger was awake
when the train reached his destina-
tion.
But should the passenger occupy
a day coach, says the chairman, the
presumption would be that he would
be awake when he reached his des-
tination, and that it would obviously
rest upon the passenger himself to
see that he was awake when his desti-
nation was reached, and that the only
obligation resting upon the train
crew or the conductor would be to
call out the station.
