BLAME RAILROAD
 FOR LUMBER FIRE
McGehee Smith Company Is Suing Iron Mountain to
 Recover $14,589.

Charging that sparks from loco motive caused the fire at their plant on July 20, the McGehee-S Smith Lum- Der company yesterday instituted suit against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain x Southern Railway company for $14,- 5S922, on behalf of themselves and six insurance companies, who are CO., plaintiffs in the action.
 The blaming mill and a quantity of lumber of the McGehee-Smith com pany were destroyed about 1 o'clock in the afternoon of July 2, but the mill was hastily rebuilt and was in operation again within a fortnight of the fire.
 In the petition filed yesterday plaintiffs allege that the blaming mill twas set on fire by live sparks or cinders from locomotive" of the de- fendant company, and that the flames spread to and destroyed other prop 4rty, The total loss was $14,589, and on this the insurance companies paid $6,470. Plaintiffs explain that the policies stipulate that should a fire be caused in such manner that the insured may recover from those re sponsible, the insurance companies are to be reimbursed for any amounts paid on the claims. Hence the suit is brought in the names of the in surance companies for $6,470, and 1T the name of the lumber company fol SS,11922.

REVIEW.
"Higll Jinks."

The best musical comedy presented here in several season was witnessed by only fair-sized audience at the Elks' theatre last night. when Arthur Hammerstein presented wellbal- anced company in High links" This was advertised as musical jollity" that would banish the worst grouch, and it proved all that was promised. Even the few cotton growers in the house appeared to forget for the time the low price of the staple, so enraptured were they with the poetic dances, the catch music and the clev- CT comedy. There are some who will be disappointed. These are the ones who did not see High Jinks." But they are fortunate. for they will have another opportunity, announcement
 being made last night that the com pany will play here again next We'd nesday evening. December 23. The company happened to have an open date. and Manager Hill induced the management to repeat here. If ths house is packed next Wednesday ev- ening, the theatre management will have cause to feel that it's efforts to pTOVlue GlI6 DUH dllluStIiltlil StShcl . with high class productions is not un- appreciated.
 There's just enough plot to High links" to make it connected, but not sufficient to interfere with the intro duction of numerous catchy songs and attractive dance figures. High

 Russell Lennon, Miss Monroe and 9 chorus and they were forced to re
 spond tc' three encores. Incidentally before they were allowed to retire
 nearly all in the audience were hum.
 ming the tune. The low comedy was 1 provided by Miss Maise Gay, who cap
 tured the audience with her antics
 acquitting herself of a difficult part
 as creditably as she rendered tht
 English war song. Good voices, pret
 ty girls, handsome gowns and lavisf
 stage settings combine to make "Higl
 links" the popular production that has filled big houses night after night IT the great cities of the country.

: BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af- tected with that weakening, tickling cough, they need immediate and sem sible treatment. The breath seems shorter because of mucous obstruc. tions; usually fever is present and your head jars with every cough. Your chest aches and the infamma- ton often spreads to the lungs.
 The food-tonic that has proven its worth for forty years-is Scott's Emul- sion, It drives out the cold, which is the root of the trouble, and checks the cough by aiding the healing process of the enfeebled membranes.
 If you are troubled with bronchitis or know an afflicted friend, always re- member that Scott's Emulsion builds strength while relieving the trouble
