Station Agent a Hero.

Frank P. Futile, a station agent, probably saved the lives of some of the passengers by remaining at his post to send a telephone messa ge which resulted in the electric current being turned off from the third raiT' across which the escaping persons had to pass.
 The hremen seemed to have the names m check at 2:15 D. m, an hour al'er they started, and it then seemed prooaole at least part of the ferry house would be saved. So far as could be. learned at that hour. no ono bo1 been killed

Station Agent Sticks to Post and Phones to Have Cur rent Turned Off Third Rail, Saving Many Lives.
FLAMES ARE UNDER
 CONTROL AFTER HOUR

New, York, July 2.-Fire at the South Ferry terminal of the city's elevated structure today destroyed one train and part of another. Both trains were carrying passengers. Many of those on board, a large number of whom were women had narrow es- capes, before they were rescued by tiremen who raised ladders to the top of the elevated structure and car ried them to the ground. Reports that several persons had been killed had not been verified a half hour after the fire started.
 With the spread of the flames the Staten Island municipal ferry ter minal was threatened with destruc- ton.

Fire Spreads Rapidly.

The flames, which are believed to have started when an electric spark ignited grease which had accumulated under one of the cars, spread to the building which serves as the terminal for the municipal ferries from Staten Island and South Brooklyn. Firemen feared this structure would be de- stroyed.
 Within five minutes after the fire started the flames had run along the elevated structure for the full length of both trains and their alarms were turned in.
 Passengers Run Along Trestle.
 Passengers leaped from the plat forms of the burning cars onto the blazing trestle and ran madly along the tracks in an effort to out-distance the flames. But for the speed with which the firemen raised their ladders and took them down it is believed many would have jumped into the street below.
 At the terminus of the elevated structure is an office of the Interbor- ough Rapid Transit Co. This also caught fire and the clerks and steno- graphcrs sprang from the windows onto the roof of a train shed and thence climbed down ladders into the

in behalf of the Mary Brantley chap
ter, U. D. c. In masterful style
so easily his own Rev. o. B. Ches-
ter paid glowing tribute to the old
and new. His original handling of the
matters relating to Southern history
stirred the deepest emotions and pro-
voked thought. With eloquence and
pathos he portrayed the proud posi-
ton and unconquerable spirit of the
people of that "nation which rose so
pure and white and fell so free from
crime"
1t is safe to say that no more bril-
liant memorial address was heard in
all the Southland than that which
was the inspiration of the hour in
Dawson. A touching song, Mother,
Here's Your Boy" was given by the
! Dawson school. With sympathetic in
depreciation Louis Petty gave the
poem, 'In Flanders Field the Poppies
Grow" Stonewall Jackson's last
words, Let Us Pass Over the River
! and Rest Under the Shade of the
Trees" was effectively rendered by
| the Dawson school.
Under the direction of Miss Kittie
Allen the Dixie orchestra contributed
greatly to the pleasure of the audi
ence, being at their best in the BAT
tie Cry of Liberty" sung by Clifford
Farrar, with high school girls and
boys in a full chorus. The talented
young singers voice of rare sweet
ness was never heard to better ad-
vantage.
In brief and tender prayer Rev.
T. H. Thomson closed the exercises
at the auditorium and the Children
and Daughters of the Confederacy
repaired to the cemetery, where the
soldier graves, on each a Confederate
flag, were covered with beautiful
| flowers.
In connection with the flag drill a
vocal duet, "The Red Cross Nurse,
the Flower of No Mans Land" by
Misses Willie Chappell and Frances
Peddy made a decided hit.

TRIBUTE IS PAID
TO HEROES OF COS
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES IN
PRESENCE OF GREAT CROWD.
AN INSPIRING ADDRESS.

The citizens of Dawson and Terrell
county have on many occasions as
sembled to pay loving tribute to the
Southern soldier and the cause of
the Confederacy, but the exercises at
the Palace theater on Sunday after
noon, which brought such an outpour-
ing of the people that many were I'M
able to get inside the building, were
different. A new and dominant note
ran through every part of the inspir-
ing program because of the presence
of the boys in khaki, who, with the
spirit of the sixties born anew, went
across the seas to exemplify to the
world the high ideals and noble prin-
ciples for which their fathers and
mothers laid all, a willing sacrifice,
on the altar of their country.
1t was mete that the flower gardens
of the city should yield their choicest
blossoms that their fragrance, while
breathing tender memories of the old
South and the men who made glori-
Gus her history, should at the same
time give glad welcome to the lads
just back from the firing line.
The beautiful service flag conspicu-
ously displayed in the center of the
stage with the number 485 spoke
more eloquently, than words of the
part Terrell county played in max
ing the world safe for democracy.
Confederate colors in handsome flags
draped above stately palms and bas-
kets of red roses made just the ar
tistic background for the festoons of
small American flags across the front
of the stage high above the banks of
roses, lilies and other flowers which
held in place frieZe of Confeder-
ate flags. In all the wealth of bloom
a single bunch of scarlet peoples car
ried the thoughts of all to FLANDERS
Field" Confederate lilies in vivid
red against the rich green back
ground of ferns completed a stage
setting perfect in harmonious ar
rangement, rejecting the artistic
taste Of Mrs. T. c. Geise
In his usual easy manner Supt. ].
c. Dukes announced the numbers and
introduced the speakers America"
was the opening selection. Prayer was
offered by Rev. T. NJ. Galloway. The
flag symposium by pupils of the fifth
grade, the boys in khaki, the girls
dressed as Red Cross nurses, each
carrying a United States flag, was a
beautiful feature. The children went
through the intricate figures with the
precision of soldiers, showing the
good training of Misses Hutchinson.
Bush and Willis- Song, Let Us Sing
No More of War, But Only of Love"
was an appreciated number by Cliff
ford Farrar. Judge NJ. c. Edwards
in fitting words of fervid patriotic
sentiment presented crosses of honor
