Mrs. K. C. Bruce, wife of DIR. E. G.

the time that historic old Georgia ho-
tel was destroyed by fire early Mon
day morning. and together with hun
dreds of other guests, barely escaped
from the burning building, which was
the largest woodern hotel structure
in the state.
While a great many of the guests
succeeded in removing their baggage
to safety Mrs. Bruce was not so fortu-
nate, having lost practically all her
clothing as well as $500 In money, ac'
cording to a telegram received by DR..
Bruce. Mrs. Bruce wired that all of
her baggage had been destroyed, and
that in the excitement and necessity
for haste In leaving the burning ho-
|etel she left her purse, containing
sa00 inacurrenes. In her room.
Mrs. Bruce reports that she was
aroused In the middle OF the night,
and found the hotel to be In a mass of
flames. She barely had time to es-
cape with her life from the building,
being forced to leave her belongings
to the flames Her loss. II is said,

A coincidence in connection with
the midnight fire is the fact that Sun.

discovered in the hotel. and extin'
guished without damage. Several
small fires had occurred in the build
Ing during the previous week. which
leads officials to believe that the de
