Welcome New Cashier

Mr.. r. NJ. Rowland has taken
charge as cashier of the Southern Ma
tional Bank, this week, and is being
given a cordial welcome by many
friends and the public generally. Mr..
Rowland succeeds Mr.. Paul Burnam,
who resigned as cashier and went into
the officers training camp at Louis
vile, and will probably engage in
farming. The new cashier comes to
Richmond from the Waco Deposit
Bank, where he made a splendid re-
cord for a number Of years. His work
there had attracted marked attention
and he is regarded as one of the best
posted financial men and all round
progressive business men in this part
of the state. He will be a very de-
cided addition to the staff of this al
ready popular local financial institu-
ton and win add much strength to it
in all branches of its service to the
public and its patrons.

Important Red Cross Notice

Orders have been given out from
headquarters to issue no more yarn
as there is a sufficient P,artity OF
knitted garments on hand TO supply
all needs. This leaves the Madison
county chapter with a quantity of
beautiful sweater and sock yarn to
sell at s2.75 per pound.
The Red Cross work rooms will be
open for the present to receive arti-
cles. We have orders for enough gar
ments to keep large force of work
ers busy during January, if they will
come.
All knitted garments must be fin
ished and turned in at once, according
to imperative orders from Washing
ton.
On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat
urdays, the workers are urged to
come on those days in numbers. We
have machines to accommodate al
who will come and the need for the
refugee garments is very great.
This change is made in order tc
save fuel. Since no more yarn is tc
be given out, it seems extravagant t.
keep the Office open, merely to give
out.

ably aroused over the removal of the
internal revenue collection Office from
that city to Lexington, under the plan
of the department at Washington, to
consolidate the districts in Kentucky.
It talks about a lot of men losing
their places, but this seems to be un-
founded, for practically all of the de-
puties will be required as at present
and probably the only one who will
retire will be Collector John w
Hughes.

of the force of this district, are: Chief

Twice In Police Court and Makes

negro restaurant proprietor, spent

this afternoon in the county Jail and
will have to pay $50 for contempt of
court, because he called Katie White.
negro girl, lair when she testified
in police court this morning that she
had bought a drink of whisky from
him for 25 cents.
Walker sat quiet and with a smile
on ms face, heard the girl say that he
had cursed her and with a pistol
lfiourishing, had pitched her out of his
place on her head. and also heard her
tell of seeing crap game in progress
at his place. But when she told the
court that she had bought drink of
whisky from him, he called her a liar.
Judge Smith Immediately slapped a
$40 on him for contempt of court. The
girl swore again that she had bought
the drink from him, and Walker spoke
out again and called her a liar again,
and shot high right hand around to
his hip pocket as if TO draw a pistol.
Quick as flash, Chief of Police De-
wore was on him, and with Patrolman
Dick Holland. frisked him but found
no weapon. Judge Smith promptly
/ fined Walker another SO and sent
him to Jail until 2 o'clock. when his
case will be heard further.

CHIT FIRE GAMELY
/ In BITTER WEATHER
Robert Miller's Home on Lancas-
Avenue Badly Damaged By
Stubborn Blaze.

18th the thermometer lowering
i the zero mark, the residence of
Robert Miller and daughters,
IS. s. B. Hume, Misses Sallie and
Bsie Miller caught fire about 7
ock Friday night and, despite truly
pic work on the part of the fire de-
ftment, the upstairs was gutted,
roof burned off and considerable
image done below stairs. The loss is
kimated at from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t
regarded as almost a miracle that
Ie dwelling was not total loss for
ever was a fire fought in Richmond,
nder harder conditions, the oldest
ne fighters in the service unite in de-
laring. When Ben Daugherty, Jim
Eulton, Lindsey Blanton and several
'others who were in the thick of the
fight from beginning to end, tried to
get out Of their big firemen's coats,
they had to hack off the buttons with
knives. Their clothes were solid cakes
Of ice and many had close calls from
frostbitten fingers. ears and faces.
For over two hours two heavy
streams of water were thrown upon
tn building and il seemed that the
more water put on it, the harder the
haze famed up. All declare II was
most peculiar fire in this way and il
seemed for hours that the whole
building would go. That any of 1t is
saved is due to the remarkably game
and contant fight that was made by
the men who braved the bitterest cold
and stood for hours in pools Of ice and
water. drenched and benumbed. Their
work cannot be too highly praised,
and among them were a number Of
vrlunteer fire fighters as well as the
REGULAR members of the department.
Among those who worked the hardest
and longest were Ben Daugherty, Jim
Culton. A. D. Estes, Emil Lohrisch,
Lindsey Blanton, A ]. Tribble, j. A.
Laclley. J. Lackey, Tom Trowers, NJ.
]. Baxter. Chris Hendricks, Fred Dav-
ison. James Howe, Roger Pickles, and
I'll Fife and John Haley, colored.
Just how the blaze caught is a mys-
terry. but It is thought that an electric
wire must have become short circuit
ei somewhere. When first discovered
the blaze had gained considerable
Roadway on the south side, and when
the big engine and the fire fighters
got on the scene fame that seemed
four feet wide was shooting right up
from the ground floor TO the top and
with part Of the roof already ablaze.
The big engine pump soon had two
lines Of hose at work but for hours
the steady play Of water seemed to
only whet the ravenous appetite OF
the flames. The home Of DR.. and
Mrs. Homer W. Carpenter, on the
south was opened to all and the fre
fighters, taking turns at the hose and
other work, found a welcome haven
here, and were warmed before big
fires and heated with piping hot cof-
fee.
The aged Mrs. Miller and her fam
ily were taken to the Glyndon hotel
by Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Cornelius and
other friends, after their very trying
and nerve-racking experience. With
the help of those first on the scene
they were enabled to get out num-
Der of pieces of their handsome furni-
ture. Nearly all on the second floor
that could not be gotten out Is prob
ably hopelessly ruined, but most Of

For a time it seemed that the home

the whirling blaze, and the fremen
directed their efforts toward prevent
ing it from becoming ignited. Mr..
Stockton and his daughter, Mrs. Page,

time it might be necessary to move
them.

smouldering blaze was observed, but
It quickly quenched.
The attendance of townspeople was
probably the smallest ever known at
fire of such size IN the city before.
But the intense cold kept many at
home and with all windows and doors
shut tightly, but few heard the fire
alarm.
It is understood that about $4,000
insurance was carried on the resi-
dence.

Wa,llack's theatcr was where the finest of English plays were produced but Daly, little by lit tie, managed to outstrip them all. He secured a six weeks lease on d New York theatcr and spent a ridiculous amount of money to fix 1t up. When 1t was ready and he had d company selected there was no money for the engagement. He had a fine company with nine players in each cast on sal ary He began with high class come- dies which he had translated from the German and French and succeed ed in popularizing Shakespeare by jul
