STILLMAN HOME IS
BURNED IN WESBTER
Large Part of Household Goods Also
Destroyed. Believed to Have
Been Due to Incendiarism.

Been Due 10 IHCenuldFISIus
The destruction of the country
home by fire of Mr.. and Mrs. King
Stillman of near Preston is reported
by the Richland News.
All the furniture and household
goods were destroyed. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stillman had packed the goods in the
upper part of the building preparato-
ry to moving to Atlanta, where they
will reside this year. Mr.. Stillman
had rented his farm to Mr.. Robert
King for this year, and Mr.. King had
moved part of his household goods
into the lower floor, and these were
saved from the fire by parties who
arrived to assist the family.
On account of the moving and the
packing of the household goods no
fire had been used in the building
during the afternoon and the floors
and walls were wet from house clean
ing during the day. All indications
are that the fire was originated by
an incendiary, as Mr.. Stillman was
positive in his assertion that there
had been no fire used during the af-
ternoon.
Something over one thousand dol
lars worth of valuable hand paintings
were lost in the fire Mr.. Stillman
carried four or five thousand dollars
of insurance on his house and fur
nishings. which was about half the
value of the losses.

elected county officials all over the
state that by strict application of law
their offices are vacated for failure
to file their bonds with him by the

will go to great trouble and expense
to win a political campaign and then
fail in so simple a thing as fling the
required bond at the proper time.
They will be given a few days in
which to make good after which the
governor will have to let the law take
its course and order new elections
where the bonds are not forthcoming.

May CONDEMN STATES
CHATTANOOGA PROPERTY
THAT CITY WANTS TO TAKE
OVER TERMINAL OF GEOR-
GIA'S RAILWAY LINES.
BILL IN TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE

lars, and Governor SlatOn Has
Taken Steps to Resist Passage of
Measure When 1t Comes Up.
NASHVILLE, Tenn.-The Hamil-
ton county delegation has started a
new fight in the Tennessee Legislature
to get through bill which will per-
nit the city of Chattanooga to con-
denim the Western and Atlantic rail-
road terminal property along Broad
street in Chattanooga.
Bill introduced.
A bill has been introduced in the
house to amend the charter of the
city of Chattanooga in such manner
as to give that municipality authority
to condemn any property of the rail
roads in that city except their main
right-of-way This is proposed ad-
dition to their present power of con-
demnation for the purpose of railroad
crossings and is directed in the main
against the Western and Atlantic
railroad, which is the property of the
state of Georgia.
The Western and Atlantic terminal
property along Broad street in the
central part of Chattanooga is said
to be worth millions of dollars. The
city of Chattanooga contends that
these terminals are retarding the de-
velopment of the city and for this
reason it is desired to condemn the
property, purchase it and force the
state of Georgia to provide other ter
minals somewhere else.
Passed First Reading.
The bill introduced by the Hamil-
ton county delegation has passed its
first reading and is expected to come
up for a second reading some time
this week.
Similar bills have been introduced
in the legislature in previous years
and the state of Georgia has vigor-
ously opposed them on the ground
of disastrous effect upon the states
railroad property. BY very close
vote a bill of this character was de-
feated at the last session.

Recently when Smith, while trying

the noise and, coming to his aid with
their sharp hoofs and tusks, tore the
snakes into shreds and devoured them.
The rattlesnakes, according to
Smith, measured three feet . length.

the baby had only turned over, the
mother dried him carefully and put
him in his cradle.
For several minutes she sang and

was quiet, she put her hand on the
child's face. 1t was cold. Doctor Ros-

Told the Truth.

A Boston physician tells of DR..
Reed, who, in his time, was one of the
prominent medicos Of the Hub. His
large practice included many patients
outside the city limits, and these he
visited in his buggy.
One day DR.. Reed bought new
horse, with which he was much pleased
until he discovered that the animal had
an insurmountable objection to bridges
of all kinds and could not be made to
cross one.
Inasmuch as at that period it was
necessary to cross certain bridges in
order to reach any one of the sur
rounding towns, the doctor decided to
sell the horse. He did not think it nee
essary to mention the animals pecu-
iarity, but was much too honest to mis-
represent him, and, after some thought,
produced the following advertisement,
which he inserted in local paper:
"For- Sale-A bay horse, warranted
sound and kind. The only reason for
selling is because the owner is obliged
to leave Boston. ''-Pittsburg Chroni-
cle-Telegraph.

New Haven, Conn.-Waiters at a
local hotel told of the visit of Mrs.
John Jacob Astor, formerly Miss
Madeleine Force, on an automobile
trip into New England. With Mrs.
Aston was her pet poodle Mizzie, and
inasmuch as she was unable to re-
tain the dog at the hotel where she
stopped, she sent Mizzie to another
hostelry in care of the chauffeur.
The walters were not surprised
when the chauffeur ordered a 81
steak, but when he announced that it
was to be cut up for Mizzie the serv-
ing man stood aghast. He complied
with the order, nevertheless. Mizzie
consumed the steak with the usual
canine celebrity and the waiter peck
eted a good tip.

HOW TO HEAL STUBBORN
TORMENTING SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple but reliable and inexpensive
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, heat-rash and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar
Of resinol ointment and a cake of resi-
mol soap. These will not cost a bit
more than seventy-five cents. With
the resinol soap and warm water
battle the affected parts thoroughly,
until they are free from crusts and
the skin is softened. Dry very gent
ly, spread on a thin layer of the resi-
mol ointment, and cover with a light
bandage-if necessary to protect the
clothing. This should be done twice
a day. Usually the distressing itch
ing and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.-Adv.

GIVE ALL To FRANCE
Rich and Poor Turn Over Hoard
ed Treasure.
Peddler and Seamstress Lead Great
Line of Patriots Bringing Gold to
Maintain Nations Credit
and Defense.

Paris.-Since the Bank Of France
opened special counters in Paris to
receive the peoples boarded gold a
few days ago the yellow coins have
continued to flow in an uninterrupted
stream. Depositors exchanged gold
for bank notes In the first four days
in Paris to the extent of 100000. No
reports from the provinces have been
made out.
Capitalists went to the bank in au-
tomobiles. taking little bags of gold
to strengthen the credit of France and
help in the national defense. In the
early morning hours working men and
small employers hurried in on the way
to their labor to hand in their jeal-
ously preserved savings.
First to respond to the call for
more gold were a street lemonade
seller who brought two napoleons
wrapped in a big rag, and little
seamstress, who proudly gave her soil
tary coin
All who take gold to the bank get
In return receipt slip as a souvenir,
saying for their countrys sake they
have parted with their treasure.
In addition to equivalent value in
paper money the Bank of France can
issue legally three bank bills of $40
for every $40 in gold When Finance
Minister Ribot asked the governor of
the Bank Of France to open special
gold-receiving Offices In Paris and it's
provincial branches M. Pallain already
had taken steps to this end.
Inquiries in many competent quar-
tiers have led to the estimate that gold
money held privately In France
amounts to $7OO,OOO,OO0, or nearly
sS0,O00.000 less than the total gold re-
serve now at the Bank of France.
Few of the depositors say: Il wish
to exchange gold" or, Il wish to pay
In gold" All make the simple re-
mark: II bring gold"
Rich and poor alike are conscious
they are taking gold, not to the bank,
but for France
1t would be mistake for the public
to imagine that it is making a sacri-
flee in exchanging gold for notes, since
the gold is unemployed and therefore
Improbable. The bank Is naturally
anxious to keep as large a reserve as
possible so as to maintain fully the
credit Of its paper issues and at the
same time enable the government to
pay for supplies from abroad in gold.
Another reason why the government
wishes the nations gold to be held in
the strong hands Of the bank is to pre-
vent 1t from being withdrawn pri-
vately under false pretenses to find it's
way to the enemy by trickery. Ger
many and Austria are in desperate
straits financially, and are ready to
adopt the most deceitful practices to
get gold.
