FIRES AT MADISON.
Booming Florid, Towtf hone* Hotels
and Business Blocks.
Valdosta, Jan. 5.—News was re
ceived bare this morning of a da-
;structlvo Hr* at Madison, Fla., the
large hotel there being destroyed
last night. The building was com
paratively new and was well kept
The loss will amount to probably
170,004, partially covered by insur
ance.
As the long distance telephone line
Is In the same building, notyilng defi
nite as to the cause of the fire could
be learned.
Madison also had a large fire on
the previous'night three brick stone
having been burned. Both fins
wen in the heart of the elty and It
was on account of hard work and the
moet favorable conditions that other
property was ant destroyed.
The Returns from Kinder Lon.
Judge John Chtelobm and Aider-
men Frank and Young McRae came
In from Kinder Lou, the latter to
vouch ,for a story which the former
had to relate “concerning of fogs."
They bad been reading about the
fogs which Recorder Varnedoe and
the high sheriff spoke of last week.
Judge Chisholm said this morning
that a party of fishermen recently
started to the river nar there and
fished for two hours, landing many
fine trout. They waited until the
sun rose and found that they were
two miles from the river .and had
been fishing la the fog all of the
time.
"That's a fact,” camo the meek
chorus from the witnesses who were
called upon to vouch for the story.—

TILLMAN ERUPTS.
Erratic South Carolina Senator
Takes Negro Side of Brownsville.
Washington, Jan. 12.—In the
Senate today Senator Tillman spoko
on the Brownsville Incident. He
characterised the Praldent's action
as "nothing more nor loss than lyn
ching.” He challenged anyone lo
produce In the army regulations or
articles of war any foundation for
the charge of conspiracy of silence,
mutiny or treason made against the
soldiers, although he declared he hud
no doubt that soldlors were respon
sible for the outrage. One hundred
and sixty-seven men, he said, wero
punished, while not more thnn twen
ty vjere charged with participation In
the crime.
Senator Tillman said. "The wholo
Issue Involved Is ono of race, and the
President Is more responsible than
any other men for the position the
negroes of the South have taken. It
It predicted that In the near future
there will he a race conflict to de
termine whether the negro Is the
equal of the Caucasian. Conditions
are growing more aggravated and
race antagonism Increases every
day.”
Savannah, Jan. 7,—Not In years
has the local lumber trade been so
much wrought up as Is the case at
this time and Interest Is at fever
heat. The trouble lies' In the. at
tempt of the Atlantic Coast Une to
force consignees to remove the lum
ber consigned to them In the termin
als of the railway Instead of deliver
ing at points designated by shipper,
a rule, by-the-way, which Is promul
gated by the Georgia Railroad Com
mission, and on which the lumber
men are standing pat.
Not content with threatening to
do so, the Coast Une laborers were
actually throwing the material from
the cars in the terminal yards when
stopped by an Injunction secured by
Hitch ft Denmark, attorneys for the
local Interests and from the outlook
>.t this time It Is quite apparent tbdt
.he case, when It comes up for trial
on January 8, will be fully as hard-
fought and warmly contested from
"the Jump” as was the proposed In
crease In rates on lumber shipments
north of the Ohio river In 1903. This
case has Just been decided In favor
of the lumbermen by the Supreme
Court of the United 8tates.
Though It Is asserted by the Cen
tral and other railroads that the lo
cal freight congestion and car short
age Is being dally bettered, the local
trade have come to the views of the
man from Missouri, "Show us.”
The announcement was made yes
terday that the Central Railway had
lifted Its embargo so far as the Sea
board Air l.tne was concerned and
would receive all stuff from this line
but this was not confirmed by tho of-
flclals.
In his argument before Judge
Cann, regarding the matter of ade
quate bond to Indemnify the roads
from loss through the Inability of
using their cars tied up In the yards.
Superintendent Riddle sought
show that the ronds were to a cer
tain extent Justified. He stated that
the value of each car per day to the
company was In tho neighborhood of
94 and thnt. the bond required of the
lumbermen should be based on this
estimate.
This was, however, quickly taken
up by the attorneys for tho lumber
men and when the matter was passed
up to tho Judge for decision ho ruled
that the sum of $1 per day waB suf
ficient, this being gased on the rulos
of demurrage, promulgated by the
Railroad Commission of the State.
The matter Is, of course, causing
great concern here.

BMEUMATISMSf
TEE STRONGEST CONSTITUTION
rheumatism is caused by a sour, add condition of the blood, brought
ti !)•/ chronic constipation, weak kidneys, poor digestion and a general
iug-'isU condition of the system. Because of these irregularities the
elute and waste matters of tljp liody are not promptly expelled, hut
ri left to sour and ferment, producing irritating acids which are taken
p hv the Moo-1 r.- l distributed to all parts of the system. This acrid mat-
rt weakens and diseases tile blood so that instead of supplying the body
,-ith Nourishing, healthful properties it deposits the poison with which it is
aar'.ed into the muscles, nerves, bones and joints, and Rheumatism gets
•ompletc control of the system. Some 6uffer almost constantly with the
Jisease, while others have intervals of freedom, during which they
live ill Constant dread of the next attack, when an exposure to
cold or damonesr, or some other irregularity will cause the symp
toms to return. If the cause is not removed
S g&gg Rheumatism will progress and reach a point
EgT- where it becomes incurable, and the strong*
kri “t constitution will break down. S. S. 3.
• "EfcKF © 9 has been caring Rheumatism for more than
forty years. It attacks thediseaseatitsuead
PURELY VEGETABLE by going down into the blood and removing
every particle of the acrid matter and build
ing up the weak, soar blood to a state of purity and richness. 8. S. S. is
the Kingof blood purifiers, just what is needed for the cureof Rheumatism.
