ATLANTA. Ga. Nov. is.-That there
has been a surprising increase Of an

Gently and a growing determination on
the part of Georgia people that the
sanctity of the law must be upheld, was

been 4S0 lynchings in Georgia and that

that time had been found
The state and county race relations

WASSTARTED
BY FlREBUG
Pena Grocery Damaged by
Fire. Relieved to Have
Been Of Incendiary Origin.
Flames Soon Controlled

The grocery store Of Eustolio Pena
caught fire this morning al one o'clock
and the stock in the store was badly
damaged by flames and water thrown
into the store to extnguish the flames.
The fire appears TO have started in four
places simultaneously. two inside the
store and two outside Of the store. and
the origin has not been ascertained- but
is believed TO have been incindiary.
The alarm was turned in at l:05 by
a policeman, whose attention was called
TO the flames by employees of the city
working on Twelfth street. In few
minutes fourteen hundred feet Of hose
had been laid and two streams Of wa
ter were playing on the flames which
had gained considerable headway a
mong the inflammable groceries in the
store.
One line of the hose was carried up
the back stairway OF the building and
turned on the fire through a hole cut
in the floor. The other hose was used
from the front of the building. The in
tense smoke handicapped the fire work
ers TO some extent, Fire chief Weller
and Captain Walker being almost over
come BY smoke while going through the
rooming house above the store 10 zee
that all persons were out Of the build
ing.
The Fort Brown fire engine was
brought over in a few minutes by Fire
Chief Chase and Assistant Fire Chief
Porter. but the flames had been
brought under control Of the two hose
by that time. Fire chief Chase assisted
in the work with chemical extinguish-
ers.
Those who witnessed the fire COM
mented on the good work Of Chief We'll
Ter and the entire department in ex,
tinguishinE the flames The building Is
wood on the inside and Il flames had
gone into the adjacent buildings the
fire would have spread the extent Of the
block. As il was the damage to
the building was probably $500
and the roomiag house to the ex
tent of probably $50. No estimate has
been made so far on the value of stock
destroyed. The stock was valued at
$4,000. and much damage was done BY
both fire and water. The building has
been closed until insurance agents
check up on damage to stock
salvage sale will be held and Mr..
Pena expects to continue in the gro
Gerry business.
