ESTIMATE LOSS AT $4,000
Recent Fire at SmithviIIe Fell Heav-
lily on Property Owners, who
Carried No Insurance.

Conservative estimates of the loss
es in the recent fire at Smithville
place the damage at $25, 900, one
merchant alone B. F. Christie, hav
ing lost property to the amount of
$4,000.
1t is claimed that these figures are
conservative estimates, as there was
no insurance at all on the buildings,
which were completely burned, so
that no excessive estimates of loss
would be placed upon them for the
purpose of endeavoring to secure fire
damage. Only the store of J. A. Hill
was insured. This store was only
partly damaged, being the brick store
which prevented the fire from wiping
out the business section of the town.
Another story of the origin of the
fire is told in Smithville. 1t is to
the effect that Douglass Turner, the
boy whose leg was burned by the
flames, caused the fire by dropping a
cigarette stub in puddle Of gasoline
in the pressing club room. This is
the substance of the story told by the
negro presser as to the origin of the
fire, while the Turner boy claims the
negro started it by sousing heated
iron in can of gasoline.

THE GOVERNORS HOME
MANSION, BUILT FIFTY YEARS
AGO, Is SADLY IN NEED OF
MUCH REPAIRING.
is IN DILAPIDATED CONDITION
Is Located i'll Valuable business Sec
ton of Atlanta, and All Sorts OF
Offers and Fancy Prices Have Been
Made State for the Property.

ATLANTA.-One of the interest
ing things which the next legislature
will have to do is to solve the~prob-
lem of the present governors man
sion, The question has been up be-
fore the last two legislatures, and
they have simply shifted at it without
getting anywhere near result.
The situation is just this; The
state owns an old brick house built
nearly half a century ago, which is
now situated on valuable business
lot worth close to a half million dol
lars. Year after year money is spent
ON the building in the effort to make
it more comfortable; but it is so near
worn out that nothing which can be
done to it seems to make any appre-
ciable Improvement. 1t has been
known to leak during rains, and one
time lot of plastering fell fell just
before Gov Brown moved into it,
All sorts of offers have ben made
to the state for this property, and
one real estate concern has gone so
far as to offer the state a site for
new governors mansion free of
charge. On one occasion a legisla-
tive committee was appointed to in
vestigate as to what should be done
with the mansion property and it re-
ported in favor of a proposition
which had been made to purchase it
and another to lease it for SO years,
so that the legislature might take its
choice. This report was never acted
upon.
Now a new legislature is coming
into existence. 1t will be jn a far
better position to make some dispo-
ton of the old mansion than any
which have preceded it, for the prop
erty has appreciated immensely in
value. 1t might be sold today not on
! ly for enough to build q new mansion
in a near-in residence section but to
leave a balance of nearly a quarter
of million dollars to be turned into
the treasury. This balance would
easily pay for an annex to the state
capitol which will have to be built
within the next few years.
One of the proposals which was
made to the state contemplated fur
nishing Georgia new executive man
sion and an annex to the state CAPT
toll in exchange for the present prop
erty.

SCARED HER INTO MYSTERIES
Young Woman in Atlanta Awoke to
Find Elephant With Its Head in
Her Bed Room Window.

ATLANTA, Ga.-A young woman
named Miss Gardner, living on Ellis
street in the rear of the Grand OPP
era house, was frightened into hys-
terics a day or two ago when she
awoke from her nights slumber to
find a full grown elephant with its
enormous head poked through the
window of her room, which was on
the ground floor. The elephant had
escaped from a nearby stable, and
was evidently proving around for
something to eat. 1t was its lusty
trumpeting that awakened the young
woman.
She was not in the slightest dan
ger. for the elephant would have had
to tear down the whole house to get
more than his head through the win
dow. but the head itself Appearing
in that marvellous and unexpected
way was enough to get on any wo-
mans nerves. Her screams brought
the whole neighborhood and Incl
dentally the elephants trainer. who
apoiogized most humbly and offered
to pay for the window sash, which
the elephant was wearing around its
neck as a souvenir.

It's Clear Country Expects Tariff Duties
To Be Changed, Declares President Wilson

amongst us by long process and at
our own invitation 1t does not alter
a thing to upset it and break it and
deprive it of a chance to change.
1t destroys it. We must make
changes in our fiscal laws, in our fis-
cal system, whose object is develop
ment, more free and wholesome de-
velopment, not revolution or upset
or confusion. We must build up
trade, especially foreign trade. We
need the outlet and the enlarged field
of energy more than we ever did be-
fore. We must build up energy as
well, and must adopt freedom in the
place of artificial stimuplation only
so far as it will build, not pull down.
In dealing with the tariff the method
by which this may be done will be
matter of judgment, exercised item
by item. To some not accustomed to
the excitements and responsibilities of
greater freedom our methods may
in some respects and at some points
seem heroic, but remedies may be
heroic and yet be remedies. 1t is
our business to make sure that they
are genuine remedies. Our object is
clear. If our motive is above just
challenge and only an occasional er-
ror Of judgment is chargeable against
us we shall be fortunate.
I'VE are called upon to render the
country a great service in more mat
tiers than one, Our responsibility
should be met and our methods
should be thorough. as thorough as
moderate and well considered based
upon the facts as they are. and not
worked out as if we were beginners.
We are to deal with the facts of our
own day, with the facts of no other,
and to make laws which square with
those facts 1t is best, indeed it is
necessary, to begin with the tariff
l will urge nothing upon you now at
the opening of your session which
can obscure that first object or divert
defined duty. At later time | may
take the liberty of calling your at
tention to reforms which should press
close upon the heels of the tariff
changes, if not accompany them, of
which the chief is the reform of our
banking and currency laws, but just
now l refrain. For the present / put
these matters on one side and think
only Of this one thing-the changes
in our fiscal system which may best
serve to open once more the free
channels of prosperity to a great peo-
pie whom We would serve to the ut
most and throughout both rank and
file.

POPE Plus PLANS HIS TOMB.
Desires to BE Buried in the Crypts
of st. Peters.

1t is the desire of Pope Plus X to
be buried in the crypts of st. Peters,
and for that purpose he has already
given directions concerning the build
ing of his tomb His holiness has
also decided that the body of Leo
XIII, his predecessor, shall continue
to remain in St Peters, notwith-
standing that tomb had already
been prepared for its reception at st.
John Lateran's. Thus there will be
no chance of an outbreak of mob
violence which attended the transfer
of PiusAfX's body in 1878.
The tomb planned by Plus is
simply a recess in the wall
of the crypt and it is being made
large enough for the reception of
coffin. The recess after the latter
has been put in place will be sealed
by a simple slab of white marble

STOLE PEST HOUSE BLANKETS
An Unusual Theft Is Committed at
Brunswick. Covering of Small
box Patients Taken.

BRUNSWICK, Ga.-Entering a
pest house and stealing the blankets
which had been used to cover small
pox patients is no doubt the very
hight of robbery, but such a theft
was committed in Brunswick last
night, when a thief went into the
local pest house, which is without
any patients at present and stole
practically every blanket on hand.
Who could have committed such a
robbery is beyond the thinking power
of the local police. Fortunately all
of the blankets had been thoroughly
fumigated by the city, therefore there
is no likelihood of the disease being
contracted by the thieves, and conse-
quently a spread of the disease is not
feared.

EIGHT BARRELS OF WHISKEY
SEIZED BY SHERIFF. AND DEP
UTY IN SUMTER COUNTY.
Is Believed TO Belong to III. ID. Fra
zier, Who Has Been in Numerous
Blind Tiger Scrapes.

AMERICUS.-Asa result of a raid
made yesterday morning by Sheriff
Fuller and Deputy Sheriff Harvey
eight barrels of whiskey in bottles
were seized in an clubhouse on the
Query place about two and half
miles west Of the city.
1t is claimed by Sheriff Fuller, with
what is thought 10 be excellent evil
dence, that the whiskey was the
property of H. y. Frazier, The key
to the outhouse, which is an old
building remote from the public road,
was found on the person of Frazier.
1t is said that the raid was made
within a very short time after the
whiskey was taken to the clubhouse
by Frazier, as he is believed to have
taken it there at some hour between
midnight and dawn yesterday morn-
ing. Sheriff Fuller followed the
tracks of the wagon in which the
whiskey was moved to the building,
and these were still fresh and plain,
This makes total of about nine
barrels of whiskey which the sheriff
has seized from Frazier rencently
the other having been taken when
Frazier's stand just outside the city
limits was raided.
Frazier has just finished serving a
term in jail for contempt of court,
his sentence having expired about
two weeks ago.
Frazier has persistently violated
the prohibition law for more than a
year, as is shown by the actual dates
Of the cases docketed against him
by the municipal and county author
tiles. He was driven from the city
by the repeated raids made upon him
by the city authorities.

very far indeed from the field in
which our prosperity might have had
normal growth and stimulation. No
one who looks the facts squarely in
the face or knows anything that lies
beneath the surface of action can fail
to perceive the principles upon which
recent tariff legislation has been
based We long ago passed beyond
the modest notion Of protecting the
industries of the country, and moved
boldly forward to the idea that they
were entitled to the direct patronage
of the government. For a long time
a time so long that the men now act
i've in public policy hardly remem-
Der the conditions that preceded it
we have sought in our tariff SEIZED
uIes to give each group of manufact-
urers or producers what they them
selves thought that they needed in
order to maintain practically ex-
elusive market as against the rest Of
the world. Consciously or uncon-
sciously we have built up set of
privileges and exemptions from COM
petition behind which it was easy by
any, even the crudest forms of com
bination, to organize monopoly; az
til at last nothing is normal, nothing
is obliged to stand the tests Of eff
cheney and economy, in our world of
big business, but everything thrives
by concerted arrangement. Only
new principles of action will save
US from final hard crystalization of
monopoly and a complete loss of the
influences that quicken enterprise
and keep Independent energy alive.
1T is plain that those principles
must be. We must abolish every
thing that bears even the semblance
of privilege or of any kind of artifi-
cial advantage, and put our business
men and producers under the stimu-
lation of a constant necessity TO be
efficient, economical and enterprising
masters of competitive supremacy,
better workers and merchants than
any in the world. Aside from the
duties laid upon articles which we do
not, and probably cannot, produce,
therefore, and the duties laid upon
Injuries and merely for the sake of
the revnues they yield, the object of

WASHINGTON, D. president
Wilson began his message to the SEN
ate and house as follows:
II am very glad indeed to have
this opportunity to address the two
houses directly and to verify for my
self the impression that the president
of the United States is a person, not
a mere department of the government
hailing congress from some isolated
island of jealous power, sending mes
sages, not speaking naturally and
with his own voice, that he is hui
man being trying to cooperate with
other human beings in a common
service. After this pleasant expert
ence I shall feel quite normal in all
our dealings with one another
Text of the Message.
The president then proceeded with
the text of his message as follows;
ITO the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives: have called the con-
gress together in extraordinary ses-
sion because duty was laid upon the
party now in power at the recent
elections which it ought to perform
promptly. in order that the burden
carried by the people under existing
law may be lightened as soon as pos
sible and in order also that the bus
iress interests of the country may
not be kept too long in suspense as
to what the fiscal changes are to be
to which they will be required to adj
inst themselves. 1t is clear that the
whole country expects the tariff du
ties to be altered. They must be
changed to meet the radical altera
tion in the conditions of our econom-
ic life which the country has wit
messed within the last generation.
While the whole face and method of
our industrial and commercial life
were being changed beyond recogni-
ton the tariff schedules have re-
NAMED what they were before the
change began, or have moved in the
direction they were given when no
large circumstance of our industrial
development was what it is today
Our task is to square them with the
actual facts. The sooner that is done
the sooner we shall escape from suf-
fering from the facts and the sooner
our men of business will be free to
thrive by the law of nature (the ma
ture of free business instead of by
the law of legislation and artificial
Patronage, Not Protection.
I'VE have seen tariff legislation
wander very far afield in our day

NEED NO EMBASSY DISPLAY
LONDON PAPER COMMENTS ON
APPOINTMENT OF MIR. PAGE.
Saws Presidents Wilson'S Choice of
Ambassador Is Welcomed as Com
pIiment to Sense of British.

LONDON.-TheN Nation, a weekly
newspaper of liberal tendencies, deals
at length with the interesting expe-
riment' in his reversion to the
scholar diplomat" President Will
son has made in his appointment of
Walter Hines Page as ambassador to
the Court of st. James.
I'm offering the London embassy
to Mr.. Page" the Nation says, Pres
ident Wilson has made an interesting
experiment. He has boldly reverted
to the scholar diplomat as the type of
man most qualified to represent the
United States abroad. In doing so
he has paid a silent but striking com
pliment to the good sense of the
British people.
HE has assumed that what we
most value in an American ambassa-
dor is not his wealth and his ability
to lavish it on magnificent houses
and huge entertainments, but his per-
sonality and his achievements and
the extent to which he brings with
him the true flavor of American
life
The Nation declares that Pres
ident Roosevelt tried the same expe-
riment with Dr.. David Jayne Hill
former American ambassador to Ger
many, and then says:
Or. Hills predecessor was MT
Charlemagne Tower, gentleman OF
very great wealth. He was prodigal
of fetes and receptions. He leased
the finest house in the capital and
greatly pleased the emperor by the
splendor he was able to maintain.
There is no need to go into the
details of the unhappy but illuminat-
ing SEQUEL. When the emperor learn
ed that whatever DR.. Hills other
qualifications for the post were his
private means would only permit him
to maintain modest establishment
and that the days of splash and gilt
ter were over it was one of those
incidents that revealed a man and a
society. Neither the emperor nor
Berlin came out of it with credit

into the hands of the 531 senators

members of their various constituent
cies concerning an amendment to the
constitution to give women the right
to vote.
Some of the messages were from
prominent individuals; some from
societies and some from political or
CARNATIONS. The personal note was
sounded in some, but most were res
olutions asking equal suffrage, adopt
ed by the home folks. The object of
every one was votes for women.
Each woman was dressed in street
dress of white and marched under a

was no attempt at the fancy costum-
