Prison Commissioner Patterson has
been looking into the records and has
found that the hobo travel in Georgia
this year is considerably below that of
last.
The prison commission is able to get
pretty straight line on this sort of
thing, for many persons are sent up in
Georgia every year for stealing rides on
the trains. which is a misdemeanor, and
one the railroads insist strenuousy that
the courts enforce.
The explanation is, of course" said
Mr.. Patterson, that we have expert
enced a very light winter.
The impression in the popular mind
that travel to Florida is confined ex-
clusively to the rich and plutocratic
section of our citizenship is entirely
wrong. There are two hoboes who beat
it to Florida on the freights to every
arstocrat who luXuriates that way in
a Pullman
Last year we had a severe winter.

FIND GASOLINE IN
BURNING STORE
Mysterious Blaze in Decatur St
Furniture House Investigated
by Chief Cummings.

An uncorked five gallon bottle of
gasoline, untouched by flames which
threatened Decatur street block, was
found today by firemen searching for
the origin of mysterious fire which
destroyed $500 worth of property at the
warehouse Of the j. j. Haverty Fur
niture Company, 126 Decatur street.
The bottle and its inhammable con-
tents was found behind a pile of fur
niture around which the flames mad
ragged for fifteen minutes. Nothing to
identify the direct cause of the fire was
unraveled by the fremen.
Chief Cummings said he would make
complete investigation of the fire. 1t
was in direct violation of the law to
have an open gasoline receptacle in the
store, he asserted.
Flames bursting from the roof of the
building and the second floor windows
attracted the attention of passersby at
1920 O'clock this morning. Two alarms
were turned in simultaneously, and the
blaze was extinguished shortly after tho
arrival of the fire department
An examination of the premises re-
vealed the fact that the fire had origi-
mated on the second floor. The bottle
Of gasoline was found there. 1t was
standing upright, uncorked, and appar-
emily had not been affected by the
flames.
While en- route to the fire, one of the
horses of hose wagon No. 8 slipped on
the pavement in Ivy street and fell. The
driver of the three-hors truck, which
was close on the hose wagon. brought
his horses up SO shortly that one of the
off animals was thrown to the pave
ment, and the momentum of the heavy
truck skidded the horse for short dis
lance along the street. Neither horse
was injured.

holder in the company. be restrained

shop was undesirable. but that he per-
sisted in his visits, and in his converse

became Objectionable And when his
"distracting conversational powers" he

When the greenheart dock gates in

might be deepened and widened, the
same wood was again employed in
building the enlarged gates. and wood
placed in the gates of the Canada dock
in 1856 was used again in it's recon

The use of greenheart has been

settled on. He says, however that as
ne settled on the park before the law
