1000 BALES OF COTTON
BURNED At EAT0NTON

EATONTON, Ga, Dec 10-After
more than four hours fire fighting Ea-
tonton's big cotton fire was brought I'M
der control late Thursday afternoon.
Assistance was sent here by Milledge-
Vile as early as possible, though too
late to prevent total loss. 1t is es-
tlmated that 1000 bales of cotton were
burned, all completely covered by in
surance.
The residential district was threat
ened for time, but the fire-fighthers
confined the flames to the warehouses.
The Riley warehouses, two large
brick buildings, were practically filled
with cotton las large number of far
ners are holding the staple in Putnam
county this fall. The warehouse build
ings were owned by the Prudden es-
tate.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss
accurately, with so many individual
holders, but insurance men estimate u
loss of $125OOo at least.

angry and threatened the young
sharpshooter.
About dusk Edwards mother cal
led him into the house. The boy
darted toward the door, slipped, and
fell.
Instantly half dozen Of the op-
posing side were on top Of him. Look
mo on from the window of his home
was William Matthews, and passing
on the opposite side Of the street
was Edward Mccormick.
According to these men the boys
handled Edward roughly. Suddenly q
DOW they did not know pushed

PRINCIPLE UPHELD.
This Government Expected 70 Point
Out to Germany Danger Attached
to Submarine Raids.

London, Feb. S. England does not
expect formal protest from The
United States because Of the Lu3:-
tania flag incident. The foreign Of
flee believes it has shown clearly
that the use Of the American fiag
was justified.
ANY diplomatic exchanges result
ing from the hosting Of the Stars
and Stripes over the British litar
are expected to pass between Cav
many and the United States, 10.
Great Britain and the United Statt.
This was the position taken Is
10th the foreign Office and the 81
mir;llty today.
Ii was held here that not only
the British and German governments
but the United States had tacitly nI.-
held the principle that vessels, to es-
cape capture, are justified in Aying
itags OF other nations.
IN the Span;sh-American war, ore
official asserted the American nav
restorted to this practice on TWO o2-
cusions. though the American naTgi
code specifically forbids it.
That Germany will seize upon the
I,usitania incident to emphasize '.'r
warning of the danger to neutral
shipping off the English coast is
deemed certain here.
On the other hand, foreign Office
attaches say they believe the same
incident will De cited by the United
States and other neutral nations as
a basis for even stronger protest
against Germany's BLOCKADE Of the
English coast.
With the concrete example furnish
cd ty the Lusitania. Washington Is
expected to point out to Germany
the danger attached to indlscrlfni-
nate submarine raids upon merchant
shipping.

WILL TEST LEGALITY.
Opponents of Weaver Buchanan
Measure. Will Not Quit Fight Even
After its Adoption

Richmond, Feb. Son its way to
assured concurrence in the House of
Delegates Saturday, the Tavenner
amendment to the administration
segregation bill was halted by an
opinion Of Acknowledgement John
Garland Pollard, who pronounced the
amendment unconstitutional.
Thus was final action on the tax
measure delayed until today.
The opinion was given in response
to Il request contained in a resolution
adopted by the House. Few Of the
members, however, anticipated an
opir:ion adverse to the amendment.
But it was deemed wise to take the
precaution.
According to the Attorney-General
it will be necessary only to change
the language. The effect of the
amendment, he says, can be retained
The unexpected delay occasioned
much disappointment, for the men,
Ocrs of both branches of the Legisla-
ture were looking forward to the
fnal action with feelings Of relief.
AIttorney-G General Pollard sent his
written opinion to the House shortly
after the noon hour, When it was
read, Delegate Aubrey G, Weaver
moved that the House refuse TO con-
cur in the Tavenner amendment to
.he segregation bill, and the motion
was adopted. The Senate having ad-
journed, an immediate conference be-
tween committees Of the two branch
es was impossible.
IL was decided to make the amend
ment a subject for conference today.
The passage by the General As
.,cmbly of the bill, will not finally
determine Virginia'S tax system ac-
cording to some Of its opponents IN
.he Senate who publicly declare that
it will be taken to the courts for the
determination of its constitutions
lty.
The bill is as cleverly unconstltu-
tional as the Travenner amendment.
said Senator Featherston, OF Lynch
burg. last night. IL made that argu-
mcnt in the Senate and still am OF
that opinion.
Other Senators and some members
Of the House hold the same view
AM. it is understood that after the
bill has received the signature OF
The Governor, it will be tested IN
the courts The fight against the
measure is not yet ended and will not
10 ended even. after its passage.
Segregation leaders expect both
houses TO name the conferees today
"a harmonize House and Senate diff
ferences and to renew the Taven-
nor amendment along the lines sug-
oested bv Attorney-General. The
work of the committee is not ex-
nected to be difficult or to consume

NEW EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Church of the Epiphany at CHEEKY
dale, Alexandria County. Opens.

The onening service II the new
Episcopal Church Of The Epiphany at
Cherrydale, one of the suburban
towns in Alexandria county, rapidly
developing around Washington. took
place yesterday at II o'clock. Bishop

-ead short but beautiful service OF
benediction for the new church, and
then administered the rite of confir-
nation to six candidates, who were
presented by the Rev. DR.. S. A. Wal
lis. of the Theological Seminary.
Bishop Brown preached a very ap-
propriate sermon for the occasion,
and spoke of the remarkable work OF
The congregation in the erection OF
their church with much apprecia-
ton.
The people certainly had a mind to
the work. With their own hands
thew constructed most of the build
ing, which is credit to their dlllgent
and consccrated labor. For after
they had finished their own duties IN
Washington or in the ne!ghborhood'
they worked overtime at night, some
times until ten or eleven o'clock. So
the opening service was time of
rejoicing to all the congregation.
Bishop Brown administered the
Holy Communion, assisted by DR..
Wallis. After service he confirmed a
member of the vestry who was too
sick to attend church. At present
the church is ministered to by stu
dents from the Seminary under the
supervision of Dr.. Wallis.
