Planning Mill Ablaze
Saved by Hard Fight

Fire broke out Wednesday night
about ten o'clock in the planning mill
of Mr.. C. E. Henderson and it seemed
for a time that the loss would be
heavy. 1t had apparently caught from
the smokestack and when Chief Nor
ris drove the chemical engine out of
the engine house he saw flames shoot
ing skyward in way that made him
apprehensiye.
Three streams were soon gotten
on the fire from the city hydrants and
the employees of the Kennesaw Paper
Company ran a line of hose from a
hydrant of the company's plant, max
ing four streams that in the course
of an hour had the fire under control.
The volunteer firemen worked heroic
ally.
While the fire was in progress Mr..
c. W. DuPre and Rev. Edward S.
Doan, rector of st. James church,
were carrying a hose over the roof of
one of the adjacent buildings and in
the darkness crashed through a sky
light and both fell distance of II
or 10 feet. They were quickly car
ried to DR. Nolan's where their inju-
ries were dressed. Both had cuts
about their faces and Mr. Doan was
so badly bruised that he was not able
to leave his bed the next day. Mr.
DuPre is an old fire-fghter and always
takes a game. part at every fire. Mr..
Doan is the same way. He handled
nozzle the night Mr.. Lyons home was
burned and never misses an oppor-
tunity to do his share when there is a
blaze.
Mr.. Henderson's loss was between
one and two thousand dollars, and he
carried no insurance. The rate on a
planning mill in Marietta is S125 a
year on each thousand dollars, and
that is so high no man feels like pay
ing it. He was, therefore, carrying
his own risk.
The success of the volunteers in
overcoming the fire in the planning mill,
filled with so much intlammable mate
rial, showed up Marietta's department
to splendid advantage. II the fire had
gotten beyond control, with so many
wooden buildings in that section, there
is M to1lip0 whora tho confederation
would have ended. Not only is Mr..
Henderson to be congratulated-all his
neighbors have cause to thank their
lucky stars-and the firemen.

The All-Day Singing

The annual All-Day Singing of the
Cobb County Sacred Harp Associa-
ton was held at the court house Sun
day
The day was beautiful and one of
the largest crowds that ever assem-
bed in Marietta, gathered to take
part. The court house would not be-
gin to hold the people and the park
was filled with those who could not
gain admission to the building.
Captain Jake Moore, president of
the association, was in charge, assist
ed by a number of leaders, including
Hon. Joe James, The day was most
enjoyably spent and the singing was
great success.
The old officers were elected for the
next year, Capt Moore, president; Mr.
NJ. w. Murdoch, vice-president, and
Mr.. Barber, secretary.
At the close of the singing Mr.
Murdoch announced that the annual
singing would be held at Sardis next
Sunday.
Captain Moore announced that a
memorial singing service in memory
of Colonel c. Nj. Jones would be held
at Emerson on the third Sunday in
May

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
cirely closed, deafness is the result, and
7aniess the Inflammation can be taken
oSt and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

WHY SHOULD BARTENDERS
BE DERIVED A CHAPLAIN?

An Evening Herald correspondent,
who conceals his identity beneath two
initial letters processes to be a little
surprised at the recently organized
union Of .bartenders having such an
officer as a chaplain
He also offers some gratuitous sug-
gestions relative to the: bar tending
business, and it's incompatability with

sity of views on matters Of ethics,
politics, religion, temperance and

right minded and right thinking men
feel CONTAINED to follow the rule Of

The business In which the barten-
der is engaged is one Of th9se de-
batable questions. # 1t were so ut
terly and conclusively nefarious and

ness inconsistent with al unblenaished

.D|NKY COURT ROOMS
AND HUGE OFFICES
Sandy McAlister Not in Love
With Internal Arrangement
of Court House.

A few days ago visited for the
first time the court rooms in our one
million dollar building, located, as
right "fernent' Fifth avenue west.
An inspection of the outside is not
calculated to give one very exalted
opinion of the architectural taste Of
the men who planned the edifice.
They blasted a. hole in the side Of
the hill and then expended one mil
lion dollars in building a court house
in the hole. It is currently reported,
and very generally believed. that all
kinds Of influences were brought to
bear upon the parties having the
matter in charge to locate the court
house on its present site. I don't
know anything about that and will
not discuss It.
However. the judgment they dis
played in the internal arrangement
Of the building is certainly not very
creditable to them.
The two court rooms are little bits
of dinky rooms. that remind one OF
the office of township Justice Of the
pSdCC. L A0 dCOUSIIC pIOp6IIl0S VI
the rooms are on a. par with their
size. One might just as we'll seek to
make himself understood within the
confines of a puncheon, and every
time the outer doors are opened and
closed the reverberations put all 9TH
er sounds to silence.
Ire designers, architects, or who
ever it was that planned the ar
rangement, ought to be held for con-
tempt Of court. I had a good notion
the other day to move the court to
issue citation against them to show
cause why they should not be dealt
with as arch conspirators against
the peace and comfort and dignity of
people having business before the
| courts. The same poor judgment in
making the court rooms too small is

offices too large. -
