Stores in Progressive
Georgia Town.

EATONTON, oct. 10.-With FIVE of
the biggest business houses in this
city in ashes, Eatonton to-day is
planning to rebuild the structures that
were swept away in the most disas-
trous fire ever experienced here
The blaze, which started at / O'Clock
this morning and continued until
o'clock, entailed loss Of $125, 900. less
than half Of which was covered by
insurance.
The stores burned were those of
Stubs, jeweler; Harry Jamulowsky,
dry goods; Oscar JarmuloWsky, dry
goods, and the Hearn & Green Hard
ware Company, the largest concern of
the kind in this section.
Adjacent buildings at either end of
the fire district were badly damaged
by water.
The fire started in the Stubbs store,
apparently in the ceiling. When dis
covered by Night Waterman Avrett
the interior of the building was in
flames. He gave an immediate alarm
and the volunteer fire department and
citizens responded.
Before lines of hose were laid and
water turned on the blaze it had got
ten beyond control and swept in all
directions until it had wiped out the
five stores. II was 4 O'Clock before
the flames were conquered and an
hour later before they were extin-
guished.
When the fire was at it's height
about O'Clock. an appeal was made
to Macon for assistance and the Ma
con fire department agreed to send an

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. IL.
President Wilson is believed to
be working for a compromise with
Huerta. 1t is said that he has
recognized the fact that there is
no other way of preventing blood
shed. Intervention would un-
doubtedly mean fighting and
fighting in which Americans were
involved. If the embargo is lift
ed or Carranza is recognized,
Americans might escape but w~r
determination must follow.
1t was learned today that Lind
is sounding Huerta concerning a
candidate for the provisional pres
idency as successor to himself
who would suit him and yet would
be unobjectionable to Carranza.
If such a man is found, negotia-
tions of truce will begin immedi-
ately.
