Another Fire at EngIewood.

Angry flames licked up $4,000
worth of property yesterday
morning after e o'clock.
The Midland, Englewood's
newest and best hotel now lies
in heap of smoldering smoking
ashes, as the result of fire We'd
nesday morning which laid waste
this modern little structure to-
gether with its contents.
Wednesday morning found the
sun shining forth with it's bright
and cheerful glow to gladden. the
hearts of those who we're so for
tunate as to once more have the
protection of the unseen hand
through another night. ,'But
there is never day so clear but
what little cloud appear" In
this case, however, it is pretty
big cloud and casts a gloom over
our little city that will long be
remembered. What was yester-
day a modern frame structure
with it's cement floors down
stairs, and other modern conven-
fences, is today total loss, only
the two flues or chimneys that
were ilt'from the ground up,
were left as monuments standing
alone after the building had been
completely destroyed, which
speaks well for the mechanic
that constructed them. They
remained standing until they
were knocked over to prevent
any possible accident that might
occur from them falling over.
Mrs. Hawkins, the inn keeper,
SAYS she has no idea how the fire
originated, that there was but
one commercial manin the house
the night before and he was
checked out, which only left her
sell and son and Mr.. Halle, a
regular border, in the building.
1t is reported by those that
saw it that the fire seems to
have originated in the second
story as it was we'll under head
way, while the lower story was
in a fair condition, and it is said
by those present that willing
hands stood ready for thirty
minutes to carry out the furn-
iture but their assistance was
refused by Mrs. Hawkins who
says she barely escaped in her
night clothing, losing her trunks
and everything. Just why Mrs.
Hawkins refused assistance in
carrying out the furnishings no
one seems to know, unless she
was so heartbroken that she
thought it useless.
The waterworks are well UNI
der construction, and in a few
more days will be completed.

O6lethOrpe Case
Will be Heard

Judge Emory Speer, of the United
States court, has passed an order
calling for hearing of the Ogle-
thorpe hotel case in Macon on next
Saturday. The receiver, creditors and
others have been served with a no
tice to show cause on the date stated
why the court should not revoke its
temporary restraining order, direct
ing the receiver to withdraw from the
possession of the hotel and deliver the
property to the owners, The Ogle-
thorpe company.
This is the point to be decided up
on before the court, and, inasmuch as
an agreement has been reached be-
tween the lessees, the American Ho-
tel Resort company, and the credi-
tors, it is expected that the receiver
ship will be dissolved and the hotel
will again be placed in the hands OF
the owners and will probably be op-
Grated by the lessees until the mat
ters are finally settled.

CITY MAY YET
HAVE WHITE WAY
MERCHANTS ARE PLEASED WITH
SAMPLE OF LIGHT NOW
BEING EXHIBITED.

In an effort to induce other mer-
chants to join in the move for great
white way for the business section of
the city, DR.. E. G. Bruce, the we'll
known druggist, has installed in front
of his store at the corner of Newcas-
tie and Gloucester streets, one post,
with five lights, showing just how a
white way will look and the grAat
/ advertisement it will mean to Bruns-
wick.
The light was turned on last night
and it attracted the attention of every
one who happened to pass down New
castle street during the evening, and
so impressed were many merchants
with it that they announced they would
at once install such lights in front
of their respective places of business,
and, as result, it is expected that
within a few weeks Brunswick will
have at least two or three blocks of
the white way.
The light installed by DR.. Bruce is
fashioned after the white way now in
effect in many cities. In all there are
five large lights, with total of 200
candle-power, and they illuminate the
entire corner. The plan is ror one
of these lights for every forty five
/ feet, which would make a great ap-
pearance and be big advertisement
for the city.
1t is understood that number of
merchants will now take the matter
up at once, two OF three of hem hav-
ing already decided to install the
lights, and for a start at .Tast two
blocks in the business section along
Newcastle street will have the white
way.

BRANTLEY To Be
COUNSELFORB|G
NAVALSTORESC0.
REPORTED THAT HE HAS BEEN
RETAINED BY AMERICAN
NAVAL STORES COMPANY.
Will Be Associated With Col. Samuel
3. Adams and Fight Cases Against
the Company Now Pending in the
United States Court.

Waile no official announcement nar
yet teen made, 1t is understood on
good authority that Congressman w
q. Brantley, of this city, has been re-
tanned as counsel by the American
Naval Stores company and will be as
sociated with Judge S. B. Adams. OF
Savannah, in the big case now pend
ing against that corporation in the
United States court.
1t was stated in few Georgia pa
pers when Mr., Brantley announced
that he would retire from congress
that he had been employed as coun
sci ly the Downing company, of this
city, but that statement was errone-
GUS and no doubt was circulated as a
result of Mr. Brantley being employed
by the big naval stores company, OF
which Major C. Downing is a big
stakeholder.
It is understood that Mr.. Brant
ley's work in this case will mean that
he will be associated with the COM
pany for a number of years, as the
suit is one of the largest and most
important ever brought into the Uni
ted States court in Georgia, 1t is =
suit to dissolve the corporation, the
government alleging that it is being
operated in violation of the Sherman
antitrust laws.
Brunswick friends of the popular
the announcement that his retirement
from congress and his connection
with the naval stores company will
not remove him from Brunswick.
While he will, of course, be out of the
city considerable, at the same time
he will, it is understood, continue to
make Brunswick his home.
