WORK OF AN
INCEND!ARy
Mystery Surrounds Fire On Mar
ket Street.
DR.. GERTRUDE GRAHAM
SUFFERS HEAVY LOSS
Blaze In Two Distinct IPlaces About
BuiIdlne-First, Second and Fourth
Rooms Of Suite Damaved-Third
Unscathed

Fire of incendiary origin destroys
the Office and apartments of DR.. Ger
trude Graham at 7161s Market stree
at O'Clock Sunday morning. The pol
ice and fire officials are confident tha
the blaze resulted from malicious in
tent, although they have no clue as &
the person responsible for this. DIR
/ Graham's loss is estimated at NOR
than So, 800, and she carried onl,
81, 900 in insurance.
At the time the fire was discovered
DR.. Graham was asleep in the secont
room of her apartments. Two EN-
plcyes of The Times, on their way
home from work, first saw the fire,
and, after turning in an alarm. they
went through the building, waking all
occupants. DR.. Graham escaped with
small part of her wardrobe, and sav.
ed none of the furniture or instru-
ments.
Engine companies Nos 1, and 8,
with the chemical and truck, respond
ed to the alarm. When the engines
turned into Market street it appeared
that the entire block was doomed, but
efficient work upon the part of the
tiremen soon extinguished the flames.
No other apartments were injured, ex-
cept by water.
1t was first thought that defective
insulation had started the fire, but a
careful examination made by Chief
Toomey showed that DIR. Graham s
apartment had been on fire in two DIFF
ferent places, and that there was alb.
solutely no connection. The room
fronting on Market street was burned
badly. This was used as an office. In
the next, where DR.. Graham was
sleeping, almost every piece of furni-
ture was ruined and the walls burned
considerably. The third room from
from Market street was not touched by
the fire, yet another located still fur
ther back was badly burned. There
was no way for the fire to have passed
from the second room to the fourth
without having left its mark in the
third one.
DIR. Graham stated to Times re-
porter that the noise of engines and of
some one beating on her apartment
door awoke her. She had narrow es-
cape from death, as the flames had al
ready gained headway = in the room
when she was assisted from the steps.
She has no theory as to the person or
persons who could have started the
blaze. but after looking over the room
agrees with the police and fire offiials
in saying that it'was of incendiary
origin. Chattanooga Times.
DR.. Graham is the daughter of
Mrs. s. G. Graham, of Whitwell. and
went to Chattanooga some ten years
go and educated herself for the profess
sion Of physician.

observe that some of your cores

sonalities used in your paper, and have
made reference to Mr.. Brannan and

spirit. want to thank the one from
Clifty who passes such nice compli-

name. At the same time / want to
apologize to all your correspondents

in his opinion that Socialism would

While have been directly in the
controversy with him, I must say that
he has as good right to his opinions
as have to mine, In an argument it
becomes necessary to be personal and
sometimes it may appear like abuse,
but as long as we do not attack the
character or reputation of an opponent,

sive to other readers.
do think it very wrong for the
correspondents to assail character,
either with slanderous falsehood or
hurtful truth. No good can be accom-
plished by going back into the past
history of people and telling the bad
things they have done. Much harm
may be the result of such a course.

respondents so far as my own feelings
are concerned and hope after this

HIGH SCHOOL
OPENS SEPT, 4
Compulsory Attendance Law OBJ.
llges Parents to Send Their
Children to School

SAO uD1lC.
by Monday, Aug. 7th, all Of the
public schools of the County will have
<k.n what promises to be the best
work of their history. The
Ytain schools began their work on
uay, July II, and the schools in
valley open on Monday Aug. Z.
le school term this year will be
pngest the schools of the County
enjoyed since the adoption of the
y unit system, it being possible
the term will be Of seven months
tion. The school houses of the
are in better condition, gener-
an they have ever been, and
GEARS nothing to hinder the
- the schools except non-at-
y However, this trouble, from
pee, does not appear to be gen.
7 only in certain localities has
cred with the success of the
to any considerable extent.
It legislature passed a compul-
endance law for this County,
identical in terms and re.
bnts with the compulsory at
b law which was in effect in
hnty prior to the taking of the
sns in April, 1910. The school
ties have determined upon a
forcement of this law, and it
that there will be few infrac-
it, since to seek to visit it's
ties upon offenders is not pleas
and tends to create friction and
Bnsion in the schools of the COM
nifty effected. Consequently it is
Ned, for the general good, all the
rents of the County will discharge
I1eir duty to their children by will
ugly sending their children to school
during the whole of the school term.
Contrary to what seems to be a gener-
/ impression. the law provides that the
,eriod OF enforced attendance shall be
with the school term, and
lot for period of five months.
HIGH SCHOOL.
The County High School will open
N Monday, Sept. 4tb, next. 1t is
,lanned to make this the occasion for
school rally, and all of the teacher
4 the County will be required to at
end, and bring delegations from their
chools. It is also desired that every
itizen in the County interested in the
Welfare of the public schools be pres
ut. State Supt. Brister will be pres
Mt for an address, as we'll as other
nen distinguished in the work of the
ublic schools.
The prospects are that the attend
nee at the High School will be very
.rge, and that the school will have a
ery successful year. During the va
alton much is being done to add to
,e comfort of the students during the
,mjpg years. A first class steam
eating plant is being installed, and
,any other minor improvements are
eing made. Equipment is being plac-
for the class room of the Domestic
eience department. and a great deal
interest and profit will be added
the school by the work of this de-
artment. Much stress will be laid
nom the work in Agriculture, and
yery effort will be made to make this
ement of the school work of general
terest ard profit.
