DURANTs ss5o,ooo FIRE
Hale Halsel Grocery Cos. Durant
Establishment Totally Destroyed
by Fire Early Monday Morning

What is probably the most disaster
ous fire in the history Of this city,
occurred early Monday morning, when
the Hale Halsell Grocery Company's
Wholesale store in this city was total
ly destroyed together with all con-
tents, by fire of unknown origin. All
the books and papers of the company,
which were in the large fire-proof
vault were unharmed.
The building, one story brick
structure covering quarter of a
block, was valued at $4,000 whilo
the contents according to G. B. Malone
manager, would exceed $500, 100000.
The loss is almost all covered by in
surance.
Owing to the fact that every door
and window of the building was
covered by massive steel shutters, or
outer doors, the interior Of the build
ing was a seething furnace before
the flames burst thru the roof, Civ
ing the alarm, and although the de-
partment worked faithfully plying
five streams of water at high pres

were of no avail owing to the fac'
that most of the contents OF tic
building we're highly combustible.
The fire originated In the south
western corner OF the building, in the
addition erected only year ago, in
which portion of the building was
stored a carload of matches, and the
theory is advanced that mice and
matches may have started the flarn'
that ignited all the matches and grew
into the blaze that caused the duartel
million dollar loss

MACHINE AND ANT-MACHINE.
State Senator King Makes Caustic
Reply TO Critics.

Richmond, Va, June 11.-Senator
King. one of the candidates for at
torney-general of the state denies that
he is either machine or an anti
machine adherent. He does his own
thinking, he declares, reaches his own
conclusions and votes as he sees fit.
Senator King makes the following
statement, as to machine and anti-ma-
chine:
"That is the cry that has always
been made by the demagogue. In
some states it has ben effective, but
in Virginia no candidate that raised
the cry of machine ever won sue
cess. Jones and Glass made fight
Two years ago upon the sole issue
of machine with the result that
Martin and Swanson were swept into
office by the biggest majorities ever
given candidates in the Democratic
party. Last year here, in the Third
district, Ex-Governor A. j. Monta-
que, who is generally known as an an
ti-machine man, made clean and
successful race for congress, and the
word machine was not uttered dur
ing tie campaign,
"T4iere are two kinds of politicians
for whom I have no regard. The one
is the kind that gets bigger than his
party; and the other is the kind that
is small enough to be tied to any fac
ton of his party.
"The newspapers in the last day or
two have stated that was a machine
man. If refusing to damn the domin-
ant faction of the Democratic party
constitutes me a machine man, or if
nominating Jack Montague for Cover
nor in 1901 constitutes me a machine
man, or if consistently supportfngI
Thomas S. Martin for the United
States Senate constitutes me a ma
chine man, or if supporting Harry
Tucker for governor constitutes me a
machine man, or if carrying to Nor
folk last year one of the few delega-
tions instructed for Woodrow Wilson
constitutes me a machine man, plead
guilty TO the charge.
az have always reserved and exer-
cised the right to do my own think
ing within the party. have follow
ed the dictates of my conscience in
political matters, and If there exists
in the Democratic party in Virginia
a gigantic monster that STILES ambi-
ton and thwarts the will of the peo
pie, I have never been under the
spell of its malign influence, and I
have no patience with those who cry
machine and are yet willing to take
any votes that can be gotten from its
members"
