$4,000 DAMAGE
IN AUGUSTA FIRE

AUGUSTA. Ga, Feb. 2S.-The 700
block of Broad street, the scene of
a 81 100000 fire last November, was
again theatened early Tuesday
morning by flames which started
within 200 feet of where the big fire
was checked. 1t damaged the Mont
gomery building and stores on the
ground floor tC an amount Variously
estimated between S150.000 and
$500. 900
The fire was discovered at 1905
a. m. and a general alarm was
sounded four minutes later. The
Augusta trunk factory. in the rear
of which establishment the fire
started. was in flames when the first
alarm was turned in. The origin
of the fire has not been determined,
according to Fire Chief Frank G..
Reynolds.
Two firemen were hurt. P. j.
Bailey, of the aerial truck company
was hit on the foot by falling win
dow sash. and Jesse Miller, Of COM
pany No. /, was overcome by smoke,
The Augusta Trunk factory was
located on the ground floor in the
center of the building, and the
flames rapidly ate their way up
ward to the third floor. The trunk
factory was completely Quilted, while
the adjoining stores of Burton, Tay-
Tor & Wise. a dry goods establish
ment, and the None-Such restau-
rant. operated by Vorhaeurs bakery.
were flooded with water. Many Of
fees in the Montgomery building
were damaged by the fire or by
water. The tailoring establishment
of John B. jones. on the third floor,
was a complete loss. having been
Quilted by the flames.
Chief Reynolds estimated the dam
aga to the Montgomery building at
$4,000. Miss NJ. NJ. Cleckley, pro-
prietress of the trunk factory. state
ed that the loss to the establishment
would be around $4,000. partially
covered by insurance. Part Of the
insurance on the trunk factory was
cancelled short time ago, she said.
The water damage to the None
Such restaurant is unofficially esti-
mated at $4,000. The bakery, in the
rear of the restaurant, was not dam
aged. The loss at the J. B. Jones
tailoring establishment is unofficial
ly placed at $4,000.
The Burton-Taylor-W store was
flooded throughout. Mr.. Taylor
stated that $4,000 stock of goods
was unpacked Monday, and that the
total stock was valued at about $751;
900. He could give no estimate,
however, of the amount Of damage.
Both the Montgomery and the
King buildings use the same steps
and elevator, and the fact that the
fire did not spread to the King build
ing is viewed by fire officials as a
miracle. The King building is also
q three-story structure and houses
the Bail1e-E delblut Furniture COM
pany.
The flames were under control at
1:45 a. m. The new aerial truck was
put to its first test and fully proved
its worth in fighting fires of this ma
ture, according to Chief Reynolds,
who says that this apparatus great
ly assisted the department in keep
ing the flames from spreading.

Columbians Still
Without Street Cars

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 2S.-The
tie-up Of the Columbia street car
line is still unrelieved with the man
agement Of the traction company and
the striking employees maneuvering
for position. The strike has lasted
since February Is with the rails
rusting and the end not in sight.
The latest statement is from the
company which says it will test the
constitutionality of the compulsory
arbitration act recently passed by
the general assembly. This act was
invoked by the strikers several days
ago.
The company says 1t cannot oper-
ate it's cars because Of an ordinance
passed several years ago preventing
the running Of cars by motormen
who have not had fifteen days or
actual experience in charge Of cars

TAX EXTENSION
RESOLUTION VETOED

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 28.-Con-
tending that the resolution extend.
ing the time for the payment of
taxes to June will injure the credit
Of the state, and that the section
providing that the payment Of taxes
at any time will allow him to vote
in the general election Of 1922 is
unconstitutional, Governor Cooper,
in specila message to the senate
Monday night returned the measure
without his signature.
The resolution was introduced by
Senator Wells, of EdgeheId, and
was passed by both houses. Be-
cause Of the lack Of a quorum the
senate passed the resolution over
until Tuesdays session for consid.
Grafton.
The executive says that notes Of
the state aggregating $1,500,000 for
1921 expenses are outstanding, and
that there. is only 100000 in the
state treasury to meet them. The
great credit Of the state is due to its
being able to meet its, obligations,
he stated, and should the resolution
become a law it would impair this
credit on the verge of another neces-
sary loan. The governor said that,
after consultation with Walter E.
Duncan, it had been decided by him,
should the governors veto be sus-
tanned, to extend the time for the
payment of taxes until April l.,
which he is allowed to do under the
law with the consent of the eXecu-
tive. After this date the penalty OF
z per cent will be operative and
executions issued.
He contended that the resolution
will not materially help the people
behind with their taxes, and it will
materially injure the credit Of the
state. Plunging county treasurers
into debt and likely impairing the
financial condition Of the various
counties.

You know what calomel is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken-
ing you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system. ss4
If you Gel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just
go to your druggist and get bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone for few
cents which is a harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous calomel.
Take a spoonful and if it doesn't
start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty
calomel and without making you
sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a
days work. Dodson's Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you
feel great. No salts necessary. Give

CAPTURED A CROOK
Sheriff Thomas, at Request of Tampa
Officers, Corralled New
York Sharper

A well dressed young man of pre-
possessing appearance, about thirty
years old, stepped off the northbound
Seaboard train yesterday afternoon,
and received cordial tho unexpected
greeting from Sheriff Thomas, who,
at the request of Tampa officers, had
constituted himself into a reception
committee The sheriff extended a
pressing invitation to the stranger,
who consequently soon found himself
comfortably ensconced in the Hotel de
Sheffield.
The stranger gives his name as
Harry Durgin, and under that moni-
ker has frisked around in Tampa and
st. Petersburg the last few days. He
passed himself off as manager of the
Hotel Plaza of New York, and conse-
quently managed to cash some juicy
checks at the expense of some un-
sophisticated citizens of the smoking
and sunshine cities. He evidently in
tended to try the same game here, as
he had letters of introduction to Mr.
r. t. Adams Of the Harrington. He
would hardly gave gone far here, for
Bob is wise and probably would have
spotted the crook as soon as he reg
istered.
An officer came for Durgin this
morning, and took him back to Tam.
pa. An Associated Press dispatch
from New York this afternoon saysa
"The management of the Plaza
hotel today declared no person named
Durgin was in their employ"
