Marlborough is remembered as the only
other British general to attain the rank
of duke, won in the war of the Spanish
succession. Blenheim Palace. the estate
of Woodstock, and pension OF 44,ooo
a wear were also tokens of the country
appreciation. 4 foreign title, that OF
Prince of Mindeiheim. represented fur
,ner tribute to his prowess.
Elevation to the peerase has long been
the form of rewarding the most dis
tinguished military service. and the roll
of the house of lords has been enriched
by the addition of many illustrious names.
In no quarter of the world have these
titles been won so frequently as in India.
To Robert Give the British owe very
largely their possession of the great de-
tendency. For his victory at Plassy.

STORE OF KALMON LEON
IS DAMAGED BY BLAZE
Fire, Probably Started by Sponta-
neous Combustion, Spreads to
Adjoining Building.

Fire which was believed to have
originated from spontaneous combus-
tion, broke out in the store of Kal1non
Leon, 1877 14th street northwest, short
ly after o'clock last night The
amount of damage could not be
learned
The fire is believed to have Eeen
burning for some time before it was
discovered. as the rear of the store
was entirely burned out The flames
ascended to the second floor and into
the building at 1929 14th street. oc-
cupied by DIR. Alice Burritt.
Damage Caused by Water.
Damage was done by water to the
rear OF the building at 1131 14th street,
occupied by W. W. Kimmel, a florist
while smoke poured through the build
ings and into an apartment house at
112o 14th street, adjoining the Leon
building. The occupants of the apart

control, and the excitement subsidized.
Inc two upper floors of the Leon
building are occupied by the proprie-
tor, who is at Atlantic City with his
wife. son and daughter who re-
manned in the city had left the place al
= O'Clock, when the store was closed.
Citizen Turns in Alarm,
The fire was discovered by a citizen
who sounded an alarm which called
the entire downtown fire department,
to the scene. Several lines of hose
were run into the buildings from the
front and others from an alley in the
rear. The fremen had some difficulty
at first in fighting the flames in the
store. as there were large quantities OF
oil and other intiammable material il
the place.
Car traffic on the 18th street line o,
the Capital Traction Company was de
layed for time. but as soon as tn,
f1re hose could be raised above the
tracks traffic was resumed

honor known to the Romans. was not

On The Firing Line; For Good
Roads and Good Schools

Millions of shots fired in every battle but only
few reach their mark. Many efforts for civic deveOpe
ment may seem to prove futile in the immediate re-
suits but like JOffres nppling may finally prove the
only way to success If each of us wait until can
land some big thing" may be waiting till Gabriel
blows his horn before we get chance to make even
start Its the regular efforts that count in community
building, like everything ese and the agitation for the
making to keep this section before the people of
Georgia aud to keep home people Interested in the
forward movement of the city and county You don't
see the grow, but its growing all the time, and
your county and city making advances daily. You
and everyone else must keep your shoulder at the
wheel and hep push-push-push. There is nothing
else will do it but PUSH. "The GOOD ROAD" move
ment is just in its infancy its hardly began in GeOr
ga and it will not be completed until first class road
leads to and from every farmhouse, and connects with
every hamlet. It's going to cost something of course
bnt good roads of the two through which
the tax payer gets returns for his taxes the other
through the schools. We want to see road, stan
dard sized and hand surfaced in every direction from
Fitzgerald to the county line aud there meet as good
one as we have to carry further. The better the
roads the easier and cheaper you get to your market
and make the cost of transportation so much less You
can't build too many good roads build many good
schools. They twin sisters in the of county
development and the money spent for these improve
ments is counted asset and not liability.
