Sandy Point Farm.
Newport, r. l., Aug. 24.-When fire
threatened destruction Of all the
buildings at the big Vanderbilt farm
at Sandy Point, Mrs. Reginald Van

Flames reached the building that held
the big power plant, and some Of the
machinery was damaged.
While II was not learned how he
flames started. when they got under
way. famed by stiff breeze from the
ocean. II did not seem that the build
lngs would long withstand them. The
flames leaped from one to another
till several buildings had caught fire.
Mrs. Vanderbilt called in all the
workmen about the place. Those VINO
were in the fields ran In and joined
with others about the place while she
directed them from one building 70
another with hose and buckets OF
water. Finally, when the fire caught
the power plant building, Mrs. van
derbilt rushed all the men there and
had them turn the hose on the roof.
She knew that this building must be
saved at any cost or the operations
of the farm must cease. While she
stood of some distance, she sent men
here and there to reach the hames
and finally put them out. The dam
age was estimated at $4,000.

with price the only thought in view. There
are as many good brains engaged today in
the manufacture Of SUPERIOR lumber as
in any other field of industry, with the
result that better stock is being produced
than ever before. There are lots of things
in the process of manufacture that will
spoil even good natural timber--they may
show up in the saving, the dressing or in
the drying. but wherever they occur it
means inferior stock. Our stock is bought
from the latest equipped mills and is es-

MISS AGNES M'DEVIT
: IS CRITICALLY ILL

Miss Agnes McDevitt, of Hatties-
burg, was carried to the Charity Hos
pital in New Orleans Thursday to
receive treatment for pellagra, from
which she is said to be suffering.
: Miss McDevitt is about 80 years of
age and has been a sufferer for some
time.
1t is said the New Orleans physi-
clans do not hold out much hope for
her recovery.
Miss McDevitt lies in a semi-con'
scious condition at the Charity Hos
pital, with staring eyes that do not
recognize any of her friends or at
tendants. She is apparently in great
physical pain. A diagnosis was made
Friday afternoon by physicians, in
which they were not positive the
symptoms were those of pellagra.
