YAARAB'S. spirit butts
INTO THE GREAT BEYOND
Drum Corps Goat Which Made
Famous Dies of Acute
Tincanitis.
Atlanta
fasrab Is dead.
Taarab. the Great, line reseed to hi*
•ward.
The diagnosis of Fireman W. H. Ivey,
Yaarab'a special friend and physician,
showed that the famous mascot of ( the
Atlanta Fire Department, succumbed
to an attack of tincanitis, superinduc
ed by the shock caused by Harley's
winning Friday's baseball game from
Little Rock.
.Saturday morning Taarab noted his
last alarm, raised his head from his
sick couch In the basement of No. 1
engine house, counted the strokes of
the alarm, and with a wan smile, latd
himself down to die. Now he is In the
land of perpetual eatings. No longer
will he pine for tin cans and good Ci
gars; his tobacco will forever be the
best and there In the whereafter of
goatdom, Yaarab, the world's most fa
mous hollow-horned ruminant, will
rule over his kind, and lend his good
spirit to the festive occasions In which
his former comrades, the Atlanta Fire
men Drum Corps, shall hereafter take
part, without Yaarab In the flesh In at
tendance.
As the far famed Capra of the world,
Taarab has led a most Interesting life;
has showed remarkably good sense,
has always maintained an appetite
guaranteed to withstand any old thing
at any time, and now haa passed to his
reward.
Wrapped in 8ilk Blankets.
Wrapped In the silk blankets In
which he has slept for tour and a half
wars, a blue mantel on which there Is
the emblem of the Shrlners, and a red
one surmounted with "A. F. D.,“ in
white, Yaarab will be laid to rest with
great ceremony Sunday morning at No.
* engine house In West End. All honor
will be done to the celebrated mascot,
who. has contributed to the gaiety of
many great functions since he came
into this world over four years ago.
Yaarab was presented to Chief Joy.
ner, of the Atlanta Fire Departmen,
when but three months old. George
Hope, former chief of the sanitary de
partment, entrusted the little haedus
to Chief Joyner, who has since been
his special master, though Fireman W.
H. Ivey has always been looked on as
Yaarab'a most Intimate friend. It was
only to Ivey that the workings of the
secret orders were revealed by Yaarab,
who had access to the meetings of the
big Atlanta lodges.
In the Shrlners' circles Yaarab'a place
was second to none. It was to Fireman
Ivey that Yaarab looked his last word.
It was a pathetic scene and one that
will be long remembered by the confi
dant of the goat that made Atlanta
famous. •
Yaarab'a Last Moments.
Friday afternoon Yaarab complain
ed of being 111. His method of com.
plaining was made up of a groan ahd
a growl, mixed with, flgltyneas. one of
the usual symptoms of goat sickness.
He was doctored and nursed, but Sat
urday morning he was no better
Gradually growing worse, his friends
and comrades saw that he was losing
out in his light with death, but they
endeavored to make his last few hours
on earth as easy as possible. About
16 minutes after » .o'clock Saturday
morning ihe Are alarm bell sounded.
Though everything had failed to rouee
Yaarab from his dying slumber, the
bell acted as if magic. Hieing up from
his bed of hay, Yaarab looked at Fire
man Ivey, nodded his head with every
stroke of the. bell, assumed an expres
slon as If to say, "That nre is at bo:
21; I think I'n have to go,” and laid
his head down on the hay and breathed
his last.
The firemen who had not answered
the alarm covered the goat with his
Shrtner blanket, and went about their
work with saddened hearts, trying to
decide how they would break the news
to their comrades when they returned.
Yearal| as the mascot of the drum
corps, made trips to Savannah, Chatta
nooga, St Louis, New Orleans, Louis
villa Memphis, Rome, Ga., and Mil
ledgevllle. At all of these places hi
met the very best people, attended
balls, receptions, was received with
much honor by the mayors and city of
flolats ala his maw “ “*
flcials, ate his meals In the main din
ing rooms of the finest hotels
and acted like a gentleman generally.
And as for a parade—well—without
Yaarab there could be no real pro
cession.
/ Always a Gsntlsman.
Yaarab was a gentleman. He lacked
one trait, considered a falling of the
entire breed of billy goats. Yaarab
didn't have It at all. Therefore Yaarab
was received everywhere, and was al
ways well behaved.
Yaarab had many little tricks about
the fire engine house. As a helper he
was strong. Pushing the shaving box
about for the firemen was hts special
dally task. That concluded, he would
take himself oft to the alley where he
would consume several tin cans, i
piece of old hose, and a few rocks be
fore attempting any other hard work.
Yaarab was a comer all right and his
demise leaves a big hole at No. 1 en
gine house. His like will never
found and his head, mounted oi
handsome oak board, will be placed
over the big alarm gong, hs so loved
to hear.
Yaarab Is no more and sad are the
hearts of the firemen.
REMARKABLE TIMELINESS
OF DR. MA THESON'S DEGREE
Last Wednesday evening at the din
ner given by Governor Terrell In honor
of George Foster Peabody and Dean
James E. Russell, of Teachers' College,
Columbia University, the subject of
honorary titles came up. and the way
they stuck to some' men while others
were never known by them. Mr. Pea
body remarked that he had been hon
ored by a university with a doctor’s
degree, but that It was safely packed
up at home and no one ever knew any
thing about It. Governor Terrell said
that he, too, was entitled to be known
as Doctor Terrell, but that no one ever
used the title. Colonel N. E. Harris
was another who had been so honored,
hut who did not use the handle to bis
name so given him.
It developed that President Mathe-
son, the new head of the Technological
School, was the only one present .who
at some time had not had this honor
conferred upon him.
Just then ■ the telephone rang and
President Matheson was called for. He
left the table and went to answer the
'phone, and when he came back hie
face wore a pleased expression as he
remarked:
"Gentlemen, realising my deflcli
Washington and Lee University has
today conferred upon me the degree of
doctor of laws.”
He was Immediately heartily con
gTatulated by the others, and since
then has been In receipt of a large
number of congratulatory letters and
telegrams from all parts of the coun

was made last year by the Southern

old reliable Southern, which Is ever on
the upward and onward march.
Several of the Southern's students

bookkeepers, which they are unable to

SMITH AND HOWELL
IN DEBATE AT ROME
Continued from Page One.
to any railroad on earth,” said Howell
“Never owned a dollar's worth of rail
road property, or borrowed money from
them’'
He asked If It was fair or right for
Smith to stand before that audience
and visit hla own sins on Howell.
"Why, friends, there was never a day
when Hoke couldn't give Hamp cards
and spades and brat him at the game,"
declared Howell.
Wanted Specific Instances.
“Let Smith speak for himself about
this. Will he do It?"
Cries of "Ho will" were drowned out
by, "No, no." *
"I do not deal In glittering generall-
ea, and you can bet your bottom dol-
f that I have the record to back up
ty statement I make here."
He said Smith would shut out rail
roads; Howell would let them come Jn
to develop the state, but they must live
strictly under the law*. He said Smith's
campaign had been one of vinification
and abuse for every public official, yet
Smith had never put his finger on a
specific Instance. He asked that In
Smith’s hour and a half to specify and
not to make vogue charges.
Audience Rites to 8mlth.
As he.spoke Increased applause went
up for a full minute, while a stage
hand produced an unearthly noise with
huge piece of sheet' Iron.
As Smith rose over half the audience
stood and yolled Itself hoarse.
Mr. 8mith Speaks.
Mr. Smith said, In part:
”1 have charged that tho people are
not receiving a square deal from the
railroads. I have criticised the Dsm
ocratlc machinery, the governor and
the railroad commission for not pro
tectlng the people against unjust
freight and passenger rates. My crit
icisms have been answered not by ar
gument, but by personal abuse. I care
nothing for their slanderous charges.
~ will prove my criticisms to be true.
"The two railroads which run
through this city and Immediate sec
tion are the Southern and the Central.
The rates charged by each of these
railroads for carrying paasengera and
freight are the same. You pay them
20-100 higher rates than you paid thlr-
ty '
"For about eight years peat these
railroads have been enjoying an Un
precedented prosperity. The volume
of their business has been Immense,
and yet your railroad commissioners
and your governor quietly sit by and
lake no action to tiptore the rates
formerly charged by these roads.
Rates Were Reduced.
Last fall, I brought to the atten
tion of the public the gross Injustice
of allowing thee# roads, and others
which I have named, to charge the
standard rates and 25 per cent added,
view of the Immense business they
were doing and the great profits they
were making. I told the people of El-
barton, Ga., that even before I was
nominated for governor 1 would so
make the public understand this
question that the railroad commission
would be compelled to do something to
ward reducing these rates.
"During the month of January, of
the present year, the rates which the
Central and the Southern roads were
charging were ordered reduced by the
railroad commission about I per cent.
The railroad companies have filed a
bill In the United States court against
the commission, objecting even to this
■mall reduction.
It Is shown by the railroad com
missioner* themselves, Joseph M
Brown having sworn to the statement,
that the average rates In Georgia on
the Southern and Central for the dis
tances named are 26 per cent higher
than those charged In Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina. Alabama,
