mentary opinion of one man, who, if anything comes of the ColonePs boom, will have the unrivalled dis tnction of being "the original Goe- thals man." MT. TaIwney, by the way is to be congratulated for his early start in the matter. The supporters of Woodrow Wilson did not begin booming him for the Presidency until about year before the convention. Now there are some thousands of original Wilson men, coming for ward to claim credit for finding Moses in the bull rushes.' Surely MT. Tawny will find no such be'wild- ering competition.
 Occas onaly the idea of promo ter on a proposition of this kind carries itself through the remarkable endurance, and it can be said for the Goethal's boom that it is not so very weak after all It is improbable that a man who has had in charge the greatest engineer ng enterprise of time should fail to be recognized by the people as an educator
 The military exploits of Theodore Roosevelt first won him popularity in the eyes of the American public. And he has retained hs popularity chiefly through his military charac- teristics. Roosevelt is the most re- cent conspicious example of hcw man may attain to high civil honor5 by the military route. General Grant as a lawyer would never have been elected President, no matter how vigorously he conducted his cam paigns before the law courts. But his military genius proved a broad highway for his ascension to the most exalted civil office m the land. Andrew Jackson, it is true started out in life as a lawyer. But the Jaws" delay and the "insolence oi
 
 office" were to severe a strain upon his head, and he went to fight the Indians. The siege of New Orleans brought him fame and the people made him president. The sword and military genius of George Washington placed him in a position to beget a new nation.
 And so you may trace back through
 the pages of history the rise of m litary leaders 10 civil power. Oliver Cromwell claimed nothing but ability to lead an army and he became Lolt Protector of England. Af;er Napole- on Bonaparte's military genlrs had won him a throne, fe turned muca of his attention to civi! pursuits, ,compil- ing the Code Napoleon, legal code still in force in France. In Roman times it was the custom to reward all great military leaders with high civil offices; in fact, they were pre- ferred.
 So then, it does not seem unl Key that Col. George w. Goethals, may be t.,e next President of the United States. Our people have man'fested Lendancy to favor such men as shown after the Civil War, when the House of Representative and tee Senate were crowded with veterans colonels and generals who had won merit in the army. 1t is said, how

great food that began Saturday was
seen to be subsiding The main streets
and many of the houses in the lower

water and the property damage is
heavy. No deaths have been reported.

watermark.
Many families were forced to vacate

start a fire in Aitcheson & Bros
planning mill on Union street between
Duke and Prince streets. The blaze
was discovered by Joseph Moore, who
procured fire extinguisher and kept
it under control until the arrival Of
the fire engines. Fortunately the ire
was in its incipiency when Mr.. Moore
noticed it, or the entire plant, con-
tanning large quantities of lumber
and mill work, might have been de-
stroyed.
The police report that they found
a quantity of cotton waste, that evi-
IDENTIFY had been saturated with oil,
placed beside the engine room, "a
frame structure, and lighted. The
warehouse of the Texas Oil Company,
