SEMI-WEEKLY.
SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 5, 1907.
ESTABLISHED IN 1841
HOTEL JUL1DA CANE
NEAR BEING DESTROYED.
Excellent Work of Fire
Department Saves a
Splendid Building.
Fire was discovered in the third
story of the Julida Hotel building
Wednesday morning about nine
o’clock and but for the heroic
work of the fire department would
have been destroyed. As it ended
the building is badly damaged
ami the loss to the owners of the
building will amount to about
seven thousand dollars. The prin
cipal damage occurred on the
third story and in the roof of the
building but it is considerably
damaged throughout by water and
smoke and breakage.
Besides the damage to the build
ing much of the furniture is de
stroyed and broken.
Besides this loss, smoKe and
water did considerable damage to
the fifty thousand dollar stock of
the Tucker - Richbourg - Mitchell
Company, and to the stocks of
Hollifiold Goodman, Scarborough
& Garbutt and the Model Barber
shop.
The most valuable of the stock
of Tucker - Richbourg - Mitchell
Company was removed from the
building by trained salesmen from
the store assisted by the salesmen
and proprietors of Happ & Paris
Company, Silver & Bro., and
others who gave loyal and gener
ous aid and they will soon reopen
business with much of their stock
unhurt. They have sustained
great damage, however, as have
also the other merchants in the
building.
Every officer and man of the
fire department did his duty well
and nobly and many citizens aid
ed. Everybody joined heart and
soul into the work because every
one in the town takes groat pride
in the Julida, and besides they
realized that if the fire gained
such headway as to destroy this
largo building, the entire block
would be in danger.
OPENING DAY TRADE
DEMORALIZED BY FIRE.
All of the Stores Had Ar
ranged Attractive
Trade Displays.
The fire caused the opeuing day
trade with the merchants to be
much less than it promised to be.
Indeed, after the rush of the early
morning before the fire the trade
almost ceased entirely and other
stores were practically abandoned
until late in the afternoon. Many
home folks and visitors then visit
ed the stores of Happ & Paris,
Silver & Bro. and the Cohen-To-
tom Company and that day and
since people have gone in trading
and admiring the very handsome
displays in their large and attrac
tive stores.
It was peculiarly unfortunate
that the fire should have occurred
in the Julida building on the
opening day at Tucker-Richbourg-
Mitchell Company. Many days
had been spent preparing for the
day and they had arranged a
strikingly attractive display of
their large fall stock of millinery
and dress goods. Occurring on
this day and during the best fall
trade season the loss falls much
heavier on the company than it
would at any other time.
The store will probably be clos
ed entirely for several days.
MIDNIGHT FIRE LAST
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
Card of Thanks.
Everybody who helped me get
out my stock of groceries from the
Daylight Corner Grocer}' Store
Wednesday shall always be wel
come at my place at all times and
I shall always remember their
kindness and assistance.
I am already getting my stock
in shape again and am prepared
to serve my customers nearly as
well as before.
I also wish to express apprecia
tion to the members of the fire
department lor their successful
and heroic efforts in saving the
building. Very truly yours,
F. H. Goodmax.
Does Great Damage to
Jno. T. Blount & Co.
Building Saved.
Tho fire boys had little time to
rest and the hose had not time to
dry Wednesday night, before fire
was discovered shortly after mid
night in Jno. T. Blounft & Co’s,
grocery store. The fire depart
ment quickly responded, however,
and put out the fire after most of
the shelving and goods were de
stroyed, saving the building from
destruction.
The Julida Hotel and the Blount
store fire brought two victories
for the fire boys within a> days
time and they are being warmly
and heartily congratulated.
MRS. CAMPBELL DIED
SUDDENLY WEDNESDAY.
Was Very Highly Respect 9
ed Lady. She Leaves;
Several Children.
Those Love Letters.
More of our subscribers prefer
to have their subscription bills
sent early in the fall season in
stead of at other times, and the
business manager much prefers
to send them out to all our old
friends at that time, and very re
cently has caused each subscriber
to be sent a bill for his subscrip
tion account.
We are pleased to see so many
respond to the first notice and
trustjall may do bo,
New subscribers are beiug re
ceived on the cash in advance
basis and this plan is found to be
just as satisfactory to the people
and much more so to the business
manager.
It is no trouble for The Herald
to secure new friends and we hope
our old ones may continue to
speak a good word for us.

Failure of telegraph companies
to deliver teibgrnms concerning

to publish a complete report to

counties, for which telegraims
have not been received, tho report
shows 1,480,265.- bales, counting
round as half b*les, ginned from
the growth of 1907 to September
25th. The unreported counties
had 2,177 active ginneries ami
ginned 190,428 braks to September -

FOR OCTOBER 9TU.L
We hardly know what words to
employ to express our thanks to
all our friends and particularly
the ladies who worked so diligent
ly to aid us in removing our stock
of millinery, dresBgoods and shoes
to places of safety during the fire
Wednesday in the Hotel Julida.
It is our purpose to reopen bus
iness as soon as our store rooms
can be properly arranged and the
stock placed in proper shape and
we shall be pleased to have all
our friends call to see us.
We feel deeply grateful for the
generous and splendid assistance
rendered by so many loyal friends.
Very Sincerely,
Tucker-Richbourg-Mitcbell Co.
Hook and Ladder Truck
is Urgent Necessity.
The Hotel Julida fire demon
strated tho need of a hook and
ladder truck, and while the boys
won in the fire without it, the
city authorities cannot afford not
to give them one promptly and
without argument.
It is not only an urgent need of
the city for the preservation of
property, but is but simple justice
to the members and officers of the
fire companies who render Such
splendid service to the people of
the city without compensation
The Herald hopes that this
matter will not be delayed but
that the mayor and council may
immediately authorize the pur
chase of the necessary hook and
ladder truck.
Studies of tho violent earthquake
which occurred in the Balkan pe
ninsula April 4, 1904 made by
Dr. Emilio Oddone, professor in the
University of Pavia, show that the
shocks wese transmitted through the
entire body of tho earth and were
reflected from the antipodes back
to their place of origin in about
thirty-three minutes. Comparing
the records of other great earth
quakes, Dr. Oddone concludes that
the average time required for a vi
bration to traverse the g lobe “ nd
return by reflection is from thirty-
two to thirty-three minutes Tho
earth thus appears to be not alto
gether unlike a great bell suspended
fn space and vibrating throughout
its whole mass under strokes, which,
comparatively speaking, are no more
than the tapping of a finger na
Dr Oddone calls attention to the
interesting coincidence between the
time taken for a vibration to tray-
globe and that requ.red
Tucker and Shelnatt
Thank the Workers.
We are deeply grateful to thoeo
of our fellow citizens who worked
so hard, and fought so bravely to
save our property last Wednesday.
While neither of us were present?,,
we were told by a great number
of people, that the conditions
were such when the fire was first
discovered, as to make the most
desperate, and heroic effort neces
sary to save the building. Men
were not found wanting who were
willing to make the desperate,
heroic, and sucessful effort, with
no interest save their interest in
the town as good cit.izeus, and
thus as good neighbors ; and it ib
to these we are under lasting obli
gations and offer our most sincere
thanks..

A Showman's Experience With Coun

"When you are abroad,” said a tour
ist agent, “look out for counterfeit
money. In France and Italy especial
ly look out. There are a tot of small
/ouled French and Italians who save
up counterfeit money all the year to
dump it on tho tourist trade In the
summer.
I said to look out, but really that
Is Impossible. An American tourist
has his hands full just to count for
eign money, with Its centimes and
lyres, Its francs and centesiml, and
when too often ho Is unable to count
this money how can he detect coun
terfeits In It?
“Italy Is tho worst country, and it
Is safe to say that every tourist loses
In bad money there 1 or 2 per cent of
ail that passes through his hands.

curate account of Marvin Williams’
success than the above concise extract.
A man of broad education, amh for
years at the head of the Department
of Oratory in a leading sonthem col
lege, he Is one of those rare chacaeters
for whom bureaus are always searching
and who is not afraid to robe truth and
culture in the garments of tickiesome-
ness and wreathe them aroimd with
smiles. In ©eorgia the “Mister” has
worn off his name with every audi
tor who has ever attended one of these
picnics of delight which ho is pleased
to term “Jolly Evenings.”' Without a
doubt he has found his place.
A “Jolly Evening” consists of One
