Few of those who read Monday
evening’s Herald knew all that the ap
pearance of the paper at the usual
hour and In Its regular size meant.
Not In a spirit of braggadocio, but
In the belief that a brief history of
what was done In order that Herald
readers might not miss their dally
service of news on Monday, we give
below u condensed history of what was
done to overcome obstacles which
were suddenly reared by Sunday
morning’s fire in The Herald’s plant.
The blaze, us 1ms been stated, was
practlcaly contlned to the comppslng
room, which contained, besides the
linotype and other valuable machines',
the entire outfit of newspaper and Job
type of the plant. Many hundreds of
pounds of type was melted, and other
property, the total being appraised at
a valuation of about $2,500, was de
stroyed.
The fire was out by 5 o'clock.
By (! o'clock, those In charge of the
business were making a hasty Inven
tory of the damage.
By 7 o’clock, insurance agents had
been pulled out of bed, hustled to the
scene of the fire and induced to give
permission to begin removing debris,
cleaning machinery, etc. By this time,
also, all the employes of the office, ex
cept those absent from the city, had
been called to their posts, with In
structions to “get busy.’' •
The linotype machine was out of
commission, but before it had thor
oughly cooled pff two men were dis
membering Us complicated mechanism
and bending their energies to what
seemed the hopeless task of “making
It go.” They worked all day and until
midnight. They were at It again early
Monday morning, and by 0 o’clock the
machine was grinding out matter for
the paper, though the operator was
forced to manipulate the keyboard for
four days with all the buttons warped
and twisted, and a number entirely
gone. Monday afternoon a linotype
inspector, summoned , by telegraph
from a point in Tennessee, had over
hauled the machine, appraised the ex
tent of the damage and ordered dupli
cate parts for those injured " by the
fire.
The lire had been out hardly two
hours before The Herald was In com
munication over the long-distance
telephone with a big printers’ supply
house in Atlanta, where an order was
placed for several hundred pounds of
new type, type cases, stands, etc.
But notice was given that it meant
a fine of $100 to run a dray through
the streets of Atlanta on Sunday, also
that the Southern Express Co. would
handle no express on that day.
That looked bad, but The Herald’s
representative “got busy," He se
cured a permit from the mayor and
another from the chief of police to
run a dray from the printers’ supply
house to the passenger station. He
also secured an order from the super
intendent of the express company to
handle the shipment from Atlanta to
Albany on the train leaving the for
mer city at 4 p. m„ and reaching its
destination at 11:35 p. m.
The type, caseB and other material
were in-The Herald office by 7 o'clock
the following morning, and hand com
position, with a lift, from the crippled
linotype, sent the paper out on time
In the afternoon. Not a mall on the
evening trains was missed.
Every strip of belting in the office
had been destroyed by the fire, but
nil accommodating Albany house
opened Its doors at noon on Sunday
and filled an order for an entire new
outfit.
Long before noon of the same day,
the interior of the composing room
was being rewired by electricians, thus
Insuring lights, and power to drive
the motor. The latter machine had
become water-soaked, and had to he
taken to pieces and dried before It
could he put back in commission. But
this wns accomplished in time not to
Interfere with the program.
That Is the whole story—except loss
of sleep and another lesson In perse-
verence and the fruits thereof.

hands made them soft and smoth with
Witch Hazel Salve, but he used the
genuine—that bearing the name “E. C.

ate relief from blind bleeding, itching

of this remedy, its pleasant taste and
prompt and permanent cures have
made it a favorite with people every
where. It is especially prized by
mothers of small children, for colds,
croup and whooping cough, as it al
ways affords quick relief, and as it
contains no opium or other harmful
drug. It may be given as confidently to

THE FRILLED LIZARD.
Ha*

Fighting Tall,
The frilled lizard Is found iu Austra
lian woods, being tolerably abundant
in north Queensland and the Kimber
ley district of western Australia. It
lives ou' beetles such as arc found ou
the tree barks. It is nbou' three feet
long, measured from head to tail point.
What makes It remarkable consists of
two tilings—its hurried walk and its
fighting auger.
It carries a sort of natural umbrella
top about its neck, which it elevates
suddenly with an a ar:.’!sig effect even'

Its bug. lithe tall In a way to bring

like the magic rub-a-dub-dub stick,

From the scientific point of view the

ing caught fire. When the firemen
reached the scene - the fire was out,
