mand of the brig "Chartes Doggett,'
in the year 1881, he was presented with
a large American flag. AS it was sent
aloft. and broken u into the air, Cap
tain Driver christened the beautiful EN-
blem "Old Glory and this was the
name he evermore used for it. His
flag shared with the Captains the per-
ills and adventures of the deep, and on
lis retirement from the sea it was
taken by him to Nashville, Tenn,
where he made his home, and where
he died in 1886.
Respect For The Flag.
The Sons of the Revolution print the
following regulations that proper re-
spect for the Flag may be observed:
1t should not be hoisted before sun
rise nor allowed to remain up after sun
set.
At sunset spectators should stand at
attention" and uncover during the
playing of the "Star Spangled Ban
ner." Military men are required to do
SO by regulation.
When the national colors are passing
on parade, or in review, the spectator
should, if walking, halt, and if sitting,
arise and stand at attention and I'M
cover.
In placing the Flag at half staff, it
shoule first be hoisted to the top of the
staff and then lowered to position, and
preliminary to lowering from half staff
it should be first raised to the top.

Bonds Not Sold

The Mayor and Board of Aldermen
at their meeting Tuesday night were
open to bids for the bonds which were
voted to build the new school building.
No offers were made that appealed to
the board, the lowest rate of interest
bid being six per cent. The board did
not feel justified in issuing the bonds
at this rate and the matter was o n
tinued. Failing to sell the bonds the
board did not let the contract for the
new building. The lowest bid on the
building was $26, 900, being filed by our
local firm of .Leake & Goodlett. The
bond market is in bad shape and unless
it improves the building of. the new
high school may be forced to go over
While we need the building badly, yet,
we do not need it bad enough to pay an
add :ional S.. 1000 in interest to get it.

Flames Originating in Schroeder
Candy Works Endanger Lives
in Adjoining Building
WAKENED BY FIREMEN
BREAKING INTO PLACE
Blaze, Which Proves Stubborn,
Causes Loss Estimated
at $4,000

Sixteen guests, including one wo-
man. were driven out OF the Wood
ward hotel. at No. SO Woodward-ave..
by fire that originated in the upper
part OF the Valentine Schroeder Can
dy works, at No. SO Woodward-ave.,
230 o'clock. Monday morning.
The hotel guests were unaware of
their danger until a fireman, drag
ging hose, broke into the apartment
ON the third floor. Despite the smoke
that worked Its way into the hotel
rooms from the fire in the adjoining
building. the guests dressed and filed
out of the building in orderly process
sion. The woman was carried To a
temporary shelter on top of the cigar
case In the cigar store In front of the
cafe at No. 80 Woodward-ave. Water
from the building next door flowed
irto the cigar store and covered the
floor to a depth OF a foot. The wo-
mans screams attracted the tiremen
and she was rescued from the top of
the showcase by a man wearing hip
boots.
The fire was discovered by Special
Officer Russell and Patrolman Miller.
AS soon as the fire department arriv-
ed a second alarm was turned In. The
blaze was confined to the upper floors
of the four-story building occupied by
the Schroeder Candy works, but the
interiors OF the adjoining buildings
were damaged by water. The Geb-
hard Paper Co. and the Diamond
Printing Ink Co., No. 40 Woodward
ave, suffered loss estimated at $5,-
coo. A large quantity of paper stock
was damaged
The Woodward hotel, Woodward
cafe and bowling alleys are owned by
Fred Postal and Charles Dewitt Jo-
seph Sullivan Is the lessee of the
hotel The total damage to the hotel
furnishings, cafe and bowling alleys
will not amount to more than 81 ,000
according TO Dewitt. The building
where the FIRE loss occurred is owned
by the Neil Flattery estate. The
cause OF the blaze Is unknown.
The Schroeder Candy works suffer
ed the heaviest loss, the damage
amounting to $4,000. On account OF
the construction OF the building the
fire department had a difficult time
getting water on the fire and 1t was
an hour after the department arrived
that the Are was under control.
During the fire one OF the fremen
made his way TO the fifth floor OF the
Building and rescued kitten after all
the hotel guests had been gotten out
In safety.
