Fire Caused $3.50 Damage Tuesday;
No Insurance: Complete Loss.
Fire, Tuesday noon, completely de-
stroyed a frame building and all its
contents on the farm of T. r. Bar

ignited the fodder and before the blaze
was discovered it had made such head
way that it was impossible to save
either the building or any part of its
contents.

Calamities; Turkey Takes up
Arms; End Not Predicted.

London, Nov. 3.-That the German
army mas abandoned its attempt TO
hack its way along the Belgian coast
to Calais is agreed by all the Official
reports tonight. A combination Of in
undated country, the remnant of the
Belgian army under King Albert, ani
the activity of the British Warships,
seemingly all contributed toward end

A Berlin official report attributes
the failure of the Germans entirely to
the flooded state of the country, where
the water in places is over mans

Captain Donet reported that efforts to

loss of the boat.
The revenue cutter Seneca, which was

Although the disaster occurred less

unregistered in shipping circles; the

The Spanish liner Manuel Calvo, the
royal mail liner Caribbean and other
vessels stood by the distressed craft

Caribbean reported this forenoon that
the crew had been rescued, but did
not give the name of the vessel.

This announcement for senator means
that he has realized the impossibility
OF his reelection to congress in the
Eighth district and that he prefers to
sing his swan song as a senatorial
candidate, probably because of the
added publicity and increased value
which 1t will give to his labors on the
chautauqua circuits. I desire to I'M
hesitatingly commend Vic as the
highest order Of chautAuqua talent.
In my opinion his vote, for senator
will be SO small that it will sound the

GOOD ROADS BANQUET
IMPORTANT GATHERGIN
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA. Ga, Nov. 11.-One of
the largest and most important ban
Duets ever given in Atlanta was that
at the Kimball last night in honor OF
the American Good Roads congress.
Several hundred guests were present.
including some figures of national
prominence.
Senator Hoke Smith was one OF the
principal speakers, and on the pro-
gram were Robert F. Maddox, toast
master: Richard H. Edmonds, of Bal
timore; President L. W. Page, Of the
American Highway association, and
Governor John M. Siaton.
The big road congress has entirely
closed up a block of Gilmer street ad-
joining the auditorium, put a roof over
it, and filled this building with heavy
road machinery. The most interesting
exhibit Georgia is offering, to judge
from visitors comments, is the con-
Wet in stripes, sight new to most of
the delegates. However proposed
entry of several hundred convicts in
the congress parade today was called
off, the commissioners thinking it
might create a false impression of
Georgia's treatment of her prisoners.
