BRYAN SAYS HE WILL RUN
4TH TIME TO SAVE NATION

Lincoln, Neb., March 13.-In his
first definite declaration regarding
presidential aspirations, William Jen-
nings Bryan, in a signed statement
made public here tonight, declared
that eff the situation became such
that my nomination was actually de-
manded, as in time of war soldiers
life is demanded on the battlefield, l
would feel it my duty to consider it.
Bryan asserts in his statement,
however, that he hopes no such Sit
uation will arise.
His reward for activity in thirty
years of public life has been the sat-
isfaction of seeing nearly every re-
form which he has advocated written
into the laws of the land, he declared.
81 desire quiet and rest and look
forward to few years of uninter-
rupted happiness at home," he said.

WILL NOT TELEGRAPH
INFLUENZA REPORTS
Endemic Declines Over State-As-
sistant State Health Officer
Makes Statement.

DIR. C. V. Akin, assistant state
health officer in charge of influenza
control, said yesterday that on ac-
count of the decline in the influenza
endemic over the state, no more
daily telegraphic reports would be
necessary.
"Of course if there is an unusual
outbreak of influenza or marked re-
currence of the disease, the depart
ment desires daily telegraphic re-
ports so that it may keep closely in
touch with developments. We are
instructing officers in AbbeviAe,
Aiken, Newberry and Spartanburg
to discontinue sending their daily re-
ports by telegraph. We make this
request by reason of the decline of
the disease and also to conserve the
influenza fund. The payment of tel
egraph tolls makes considerable
drain on this fund.

work that has been done. Many of
the enumerators did not expect their
nav for several weeks, but so far as
| am advised, checks have been re-
ceived by the enumerators within
two weeks or less after the papers
had been sent to- Washington.
Il am hoping to close up the Of

should be possible that any of the
towns in this district should not show

the fault of the enumerator or the
supervisor. .. When the enumerators
announced that they had completed
their work in the several larger towns
of. the district. and without giving
any irtimation as to the figures, |
went TO- these towns and conferred
with the enumerators' and also the
MAYORS and Chamber of Commerce
and requested the newspapers to
state that the enumerators had COM

more persons had been omitted that
we would be glad to be apprlsed OF
the fact and that their names would
be added as it was our desire and
purpose to give each community the
entire population to which it was
entitled, and the papers were held
for some time in order that additions,
# any, might be made. hope that
when the official figures are announc-
ed by the department that they may
be satisfactory to all Of the COM

death one of our enumerators, Mr..
Samuel w. Derrick of Newberry, a
fine fellow and most excellent cltl-

but several weeks after he had COM
pleted the work of taking the census.
= am glad Of the opportunity
which this position has given me to
form SO many friendships amongst
the fine men and women who have
worked with me in the taking of this
census, and 1 feel that / have the
friendship and the good will of each
and every one of them, and | desire
again to express my appreciation OF
their work and their hearty coopera-

TEXAS FLOWN BURNING
+; AS FIREMEN LOOK ON
Little 4eft of Grand View Except
Smoh hldering Ruins-Water in
shStandpipe Gives Out.

Fort Worth, March 14.-Grand
View, a farming community of 1000
nha bitants, 36 miles southeast of this
city, late tonight. was in smouldering
ruins, with more than 1000 of its
residents homeless, seven Of its
eight blocks of business buildings de-
stroyed and about 200 residences
wiped out by fire which, starting this
afternoon, famed by 335 miles an
hour wind, was not brought under
control until nearly midnight and
then was still burning fercely, ;ac-
ccr1lingsto reports received here. .
Latest estimates place the proper
.ty loss Between s1,500,0O0 and ST.
o0o,Oo9 Immediate relief for the
homeless was urged.
Fire apparatus was sent to Grand
View from Waxhatachie, Itasca, Gle
burne and Alverado, but on its ar
rival was of no use as the water in
the standpipe gave out an hour after
the fire started.
/ Indications were tha: the few re-
naming buildings in the residential
section would be destroyed. Fire de-
partn14nts from Cleburne, ltasca and
Alversdo responded to call for aid,
! but the water in the town stand pipe
soon gave out and no dynamite
could be obtained.
After that the fremen were unable
to do anything except watch the town
burn. Automobiles, trucks, wagons
/ and other vehicles were pressed into
service to carry the homeless to AL
varado and Itasca. Merchandise val
ued at hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars was piled in the streets, but was
greatly damaged by water and
smoke. In shape Of V the fire
swept through the city, destroying
more than 200 homes in the residen-
! tial section. When the flames reach
ed Main street, hopes were held that
the business section could be saved,
as the wind was blowing due north,
! but the wind veered and the fire was
swept into the business section, en-
guhing every building in its eight
blocks. Merchants had virtually 20
/ time to save their stocks.
While fighting the fire on the roof
of a one story business building on
Main street, the assistant fire chief,
Sam Welton of 1tasea; a Cleburne
fireman and fireman of Grand View
were hurled into blazing apartment
when the roof collapsed. They were
rescued, all critically injured. Mayor
Williams of Grand View called a
mass meeting of all male citizens in
the city park and organized COM
mittee of safety This committee
patroIled the fire stricken section and
salvaged goods from stores and resi-
dences wherever possible.
The wind is blowing with such We
locity that burning brands were car
ried for miles. A farm house three
miles from Grand View caught on
fire from such brand and was de-
stroyed.
The fire started at the extreme
Southern end of the town and fan
ned by the heavy wind, by 9 o'clock
it had wiped out the school house,
every church, approximately 200 res
licences and 70 business buildings.
Grand View, which is in Johnson
county near the Hill county line, sc
miles southeast of Fort Worth, has a
population of about 1000.
