YOU AND !
WOULD LIKE TO SEE SEN
ATOR MCCORMICK STOP
TALKING AND START
DOING

A CCORDING to Senator Medill
Mccormick, at the present rate
cf progression in unemployment, we
hall have as many unemployed next
winter as we had at the peak of un-
employment in 1914. He bases his
prediction upon the figures of the
Department of Labor, which, show
that unemployment is approaching
the 100000 mark.
The senator makes the observation
that he believes steps can be taken
to prevent or mitigate the actual
want and suffering which will touch
thousands with the coming of cold
weather, if nothing is done.
McCormick's ideas are interesting
but rather indefinite. His belief that
something can be done," unless
translated into definite government
action, will not feed a single man,
woman or child.
As an influential, member of the
United States Senate, Mccormick is
in the best possible position to edo
something."
He may not have noticed that the
last act of the Italian Chamber of
Deputies, before it adjourned recent
ly, was to appropriate a million lire
for public works to relieve the un-
employed.

IT'S VACATION
TIME IN BACK
ROOM FOR T.--R.

To its friends and patrons The
Times-RccOrder wishes to state that
the present reduced size OF the daily
edition is only temporary, and will
give way very shortly to the regular
8-page and 10-page sizes. Just now
the "bOys in the back room," who
have hit the ball'' every day at reg
ular hours, rain or shine, with no
lay-offs and no substitutes, are TAX
ing their vacations, which is making
the mechanical force bit short
handed However, this being the
slack business period of the year.
they are able to do this without cur
failing the quantity of news and fea-
ture matter appearing in each edi-
ton.
The public little knows or appre-
ciates how much it owes to these
faithful workers in making it pos
sible for them to have the homa
newspaper every afternoon at an
early hour. The Times-Recorder
employs only highly skilled men, and
pays them the best wages. 1t could
hire men in every one of their places
for less money probably much less
money1but it would sacrifice much
in economy and quality of produce
tion to do so, These men work IN
tensively at their highly skilled trade
and not only are entitled to take q
week off every year, but should do
so to keep in condition. So Just now
the force is bit short, and the six
page editions, containing all the fea~
lures and the full quota of news
reading matter, however will cons
tinue for short time still. After
that, back to a bigger and hetters
Times-Reeorder We thank you.

The fire started in an explosion,
which seemed to be in the basement
of the building near the hotel, which
was partly built of frame and which
was one of the oldest in The city.
The building burned like tiuder
A general alarm was sent in and
every piece of fire-hghtlng apparatus
in the city was sent to the scene,
but still the flames continued 10
gain headway and guests, despairing
of rescue. began leaping from the
upper windows.
Horace Weems, night clerk at the
hotel, declared the explosion occur
red at :35 a. m. He was stunned
and only simply heard what he be
lieved to be a second explosion. A
gigantic hole was blasted in the tiled
floor Of the lobby of the hotel, and
the elevator was hurled to the sec
ond floor.
Fumc-laden flames burst through
the opening. The telephone system
was put out Of commission and soon
the lights went out. Panic imme-
diately broke out among the guests
on the upper floors. Men and wo-
men began fighting to reach the eX-
its and then began leaping from the
upper windows. All were thinly clad
in their night clothing. Many per
sons were carried down the ladders
by the firemen.
J. X, Hays and Harry SWanburg,
of Atlanta, leaped through window
to the roof Of the Collier Manufacture
ing company's plant. A wall Of
flames burst through the windows be.
hind them and both leaped and fell
into pile of iron. Both died later.
Firemen, with soaked awnings
wrapped around them to protect them
from the heat, continued the work Of
resuce. Their lives were further en-
dangcrcd by crumbling walls.
At 2:20 a. m. part of the front
wall gave way and many spectators
in the streets had narrow escapes
from falling debris. 1t is believed
several in the building were carried
to their deaths by falling brick and
timbers. A shower of flame and
sparks shot high into the air and they
were engulfed in the fiery volcano
which the interior of the big build
ing had become
f. c. Claxton, who jumped from a
second story window, said the force
of the explosion blew him out Of bed.
HIS face was badly burned.
A dozen firemen trying to get at
the seat of the fire through the store
of the Brunner Drug company's store
narrowly escaped when the walls Of
that structure collapsed
G.. L. Wilder, who was one of the
last to escape from the building, de-
clared, "There arc ten or fifteen men
behind me and they had " way to eS-
cape"
The flames spread glare over the
city for many blocks and persons
awakened by the explosion hurried to
the place in automobiles and on foot.
Soon several thousand stood outside
the fire lines and as the flames con
tinued the crowds grew rapidly.
Many offered their automobiles to
take the injured to the hospital and
for some time patients fairly poured
into the emergency room. Macon
physicians volunteered to assist the
hospital staff
A number of the injured were tax.
