ST. MARYS VISITED
BY SERIOUS FIRE
THE ENTIRE WATER FRONT is
CONSUMED WITH A LOSS
OF ABOUT $4,000.

st. Mary's, over in Camden county,
was visited by the most disastrous
fire in its history late Saturday after
noon, when practically the entire wa
ter front was burned with a heavy
loss. The docks along the river front
of the little port were almost com
pletely destroyed, with many cross
ties on them. The ties were owned
by the Brandon Lumber company of
Woodbine. This concern was the
heaviest losers by the blaze. The
small wharves of the Atlanta, Way
cross and Northern railroad were al
so destroyed, considerable damage re-
sulting. The fire department of Fer
nandina rushed to the assistance of
the people of st. Marys as quickly as
possible, but the fire had destroyed
all of the property before the depart
ment reached the scene, it being nee
essary to secure a special boat to
take over the fire apparatus and the
tiremen.
Just how the fire originated is not
known, but it gained rapid headway,
and was more than the little volun-
teer department at ST. Marys could
cope with. 1t is understood that
most of the property will be rebuilt
at once.

MACON'S CIT YMARSHAL
is SHORT A BIG SUM.

Macon, June THAT the shortage
of former City Marshal w. f. Holmes
is much greater than the first est-
mate of $4,000, will be shown by the
report of the auditors who have been
going over the books of his office
since the shortage was reported to
the mayor and council several months
ago. No intimation of what the ac-
tual figures contained in the report
to be made to council Tuesday night
WI abe is given, but 1t is known
s6R3t the flgmpes ewilasabee surprisingly
large.
On top Of this comes the report
that the bonding company Is going to
refuse to make the shortage good to
the city and it is believed the mat
ter will wind up in the courts. 1t Is
said that the refusal of the bonding
company will be based on technical
ity with reference to the renewal OF
the marshals bond.
AS soon as the report Of the audit
ors Is made to council an official re-
port of the shortage will be made to
the bonding company and settle
ment asked
In addition to the shortage Of the
marshal, it is said that the report OF
the auditors will also show the total
amount of taxes on personal property
now due the city.

GOVERNOR BROWN
SOON TFVAcATE
GOVERNOR SLATON TO BE IN
AUGURATED THIS MONTH-TO
OCCUPY THE MANSION.

Atlanta, June 2.-Definite informa-
ton was made public today for the
first time to the effect that Gov and
Mrs. John NJ. rSlaton would occupy the
executive mansion after July 1.
This information was impaired in
statement Of Gov. Brown to the eff
feet that he would go to Marietta ac-
companied by Mrs. Brown, to make
certain preparations for occupying
their magnificent home there on or
about June 15
Gov. Brown stated that it was his
intention to vacate the mansion near
the middle of June and turn the build
ing over to the keeper of public build
ings and grounds for repairs or such
changes as Gov. and Mrs. Slaton
might desire.
Heretofore very general impress
sion has obtained that Gov. Slaton
and his wife would not occupy the
mansion supplied by the state for it's
executives, but would, in preference,
use their handsome and commodious
SILy uOlut OU lcOCILTcc StTetL, SOIlc
nve or six blocks further out than
the mansion.
However, this appears to Ee incor-
rect and that the mansion will be used
by the new governor and his lady DUR
ing the two years Gov. Slaton is in
office. It's convenience to the center
of the city, the hotels and boarding
houses occupied by lawmakers prob
ably is an impelling motive in this
decision.
Teh fact that the present mansion
Is getting decrepit from age, with in
creasing difficulties in keeping it in
repair has probably occasioned the
report that Gov. Slaton would not oc-
cupy it.
1t is understood that Mr.. Latimer,
keeper OF buildings and ground, will
80 in with a force of decorators and
repairers about June Is and make
changes, probably under the direction
of Mrs. Slaton.

THE BRUNSWICK
R|FLEMEN To G0
ON ENCAMPMENT
LOCAL COMPANY AND BAND TO
GO TO ST. SIMON WITH THE
SECOND BATTALION LATTER
PART OF THIS MONTH.

The Brunswick Riflemeu and the
FIRST Regiment band are to encamp
on st. iSmon the latter part of the
present month. This was the infor-
nation received by Capt. c.. A. Tay-
lor, of the Riflemen, yesterday from
AdJt. Gen. J. Van Holt Nash.
The Riflemen are connected with
the First Georgia regiment practical
ly all of the other companies of this
regiment being located in Savannah.
AS this regiment will not encamp on
st. Simon during the summer, the To-
cal company, together with the band
has been authorized to go into camp
with the Second battalion, composed
OF companies from Augusta, Waynes-
borO and other points, all of which
We're formerly of the old Third Geor-
gia' regiment. Whether or not the
band will be able to go on the outing
is not as yet known, but the Rifle
men will at once get in readiness for
the weeks encampment and Capt.
Taylor will make an effort to carry
as many men to the island as posi-
bic.
The Second battalion has been or
dered to the island the latter part of
the present month. They will be fol-
lowed Immediately by the Fifth regi-
ment, of Atlanta, and the Second reg
iment, located in Macon, Milledge-
vile and other points will follow the
Fifth, while one or two other COM
panies will come later in July.
1t will thus be seen that practical
ly all of the Georgia troops, with the
exception of the several companies of
the First regiment in Savannah, will
hold their annual encampment on st.
simon.

NARROW ESCAPE
OF A SW|TCHMAN
ON COAST LIN {
YOUNG COLEMAN HOLLOWAY
FELL ALMOST UNDER ENGINE
LAST NIGHT AND NARROWLY
ESCAPED DEATH

Coleman Holloway, a young white
man about 10 years of age, yard
switchman on the Atlantic Coast Line
came very near losing his life early
last night near the old Atlantic Coast
Line shops, when, in disconnecting a
shifting engine from some ears, he
was caught by the engine and drag
Sed for several yarts, portion of the
engine wheel touching his head. 1t
seemed a miracle that the young man
was not run over and instantly killed.
Young Holloway had just discon-
nected the engine, when, it is thought
he made misstep and fell almost un-
der the moving engine. He cluns to
it, however, and in this way probably
saved his life. AS it was he was quite
badly injured, receiving an ugly cash
in the head and his ear being badly
mashed. He was at once carried to
his home, where medical aid was sum-
moned.
Those who saw the accident, or
rather who were near the scene,
thought sure the young man had been
killed. 1t was feared every second
that the moving engine would pass
over his head, but fortunately the
breaks were applied as quickly as
possible and he escaped with the in
juries mentioned.
Just how serious he was hurt is not
yet known. The cash in his head was
a painful and quite a serious one,
while his ear was badly mashed.

EN- ROUTE TO BRUN SWICk;

steamer Quantico, bound from Balti
more to Savannah, announcing that
Guy Smith, her brother-in-law, who
was en- route to this city on a visit,

sailed from that port for Savannah.

course that he was stricken suddenly

expected that his body will be re-
turned from Savannah to Philadel-
phia for interment.

GIVES DEFENSE
OF MANY PLANS
SENATOR BURTON THINKS DE
SERVE FUND BETTER THAN
REGIONAL.

Youngstown, O., June 2.-Senator
Burton, a member of the national
monetary commission, in an address
tonight to the Youngstown Associa.
tion of Credit Men, came to the de,
tense of the central reserve associa-
tion, proposed by the commission, in
its plan for financial reform and crit
icised as inadequate the regional re
serve associations favored by Demo
Gratis in congress. Senator Burton de-
clared that all the benefit that might
lie in the regional eserve plan colud
be found in the central reserve plan
and insisted that only through some
such central, authoritative agency
could stability be assured in times OF
financial storms.
The objections to the regional
plan are in the first place, that it is
not truly NATIONAL. said the senator.
All our banking business and other
commercial and industrial operations
is more and more becoming national.
and this applies with special empha-
sis to the utilization of banking re-
serves. Separate and unrelated or
ganizations would seek to maintain
their own credit and supply their own
customers without regard to the needs
of others. There would be no effec-
tive unity of action in facing a finan-
cial storm.
"All the advantages which can be
obtained from the separation into diff
ferent regional associations can be
as adequately and far. more fully Sc
cured by the establishment of branch
es of one central institution. Under
the regional plan, in case any one
bank should be in trouble it could
have ready resort to the banking re-
sources of but fraction of the coun-
try; II under central association
plan it would have the immediate sup
port and backing of all the banks of
the country. In times of slackness
when a bank has a surplus to invest
nuder the cenarl association plan it
could seek the very widest field for
investment. A field which under the
regional plan would be very much
limited. The two great objects-an
adequate and elastic currency and
the proper utilization of reserves
can be best obtained by central as
sociation."
Attacks Compulsory Guarantee.
Senator Burton attacked the pro-
posal for the compulsory guarantee
of bank deposits as tax upon we'll
managed institutions for the delin-
quencies of bad judgment, imprudence
or dishonesty in the conduct Of other
institutions for which they were in
no way responsible, and whose errors
they would have no power of prov
ing"
He replied to the argument that
under the monetary commission plan
money would flow to the great cen
ters of trade by declaring that such
flow could not more be controlled
than could the tide of population and
that money would naturally seek
places where it was in demand. Con
troll of deposits so that they cannot
be diverted TO speculative uses, he
said, was necessary and feasible.
