Augusta, Ga„ May 23.—Promptness
and Intelligence In fire-fighting stop
ped what promised to be a great cotton
flro at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
At that hour a compartment, holding
210 bales, In the warehouse of I’hlnlzy
& Co., was found to bo on Arc and
burning fiercely. An alarm was turned
In and as soon as Chief Reynolds ar
rived ho rang a general alarm, bring
ing tho .wholo fire department to tho
scene. Every bale In the compart
ment was ablaze at the time and the
wind was almost whipping tho blaze
around tho fire wall to an adjoining
compartment, where there were sev-
„) hundred bales more.
Chief Reynolds had every Inch of
hoBO pouring water on the fire In a few
minutes, and was thoroughly drench
ing tho compartment.
Hie cotton on fire was valued at f 12,-
000.
The salvage will amount to fully
75 per cent. Damage to the warehouse
Is about $200.
The danger of flro was that the
whole stock of Augusta, nearly sixteen
thousand hales, was congested In the
neighborhood of Phinlzy & Co.’s and
any spread meant great damage. Thu
cause of fire unknown.
The dates as settled upon yester
day arc Oct. 11,, 12, 13 and 14, these
dates being Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday.
This change was made on account
of the attractions in other sections
of tlie state, notably tho stato fair,
whl.h might In some way Interfere
with those who might wish to at
tend tho fair here.
The managemnet of the Northeast
Ucogia Fair will at onec correct all

been sent out announcing the dales
formerly agreed upon and will go to
work to thoroughly advertise the new
dates.

The Northeast Georgia Fair this
year is going to be the greatest fair
ever held in Georgia. The stato fair
may have larger 'agricultural exhib

will bo -hotter or more attractive

An Important meeting of the board
of education of the city was held at
the office of Secretary C. D. Flanigan
Monday- afternoon at which the
teachers for tho public schools of the
next year wero elected.
The list of teachers remains the
same as last year with the exception
or Miss (Jarland Smith, Mho has re
signed. Two new teachers were se
lected, one to fill Miss Smith’s place
and the other to teach an extra grade
that will probably bo established.
These new teachers are Misses Pattie
Ililisman, of Athens, and Balter, of
Calhoun, (ia.
Tho complete list of the teachers Is
ns follows:
Prof. Ci. (i. Bond, superintendent.
Prof. Frank M. Harper, assistant
superintendent and principal of Wash
ington Street school. *

ipal of Washington Street school.

It is probable that a small room on
the lot recently purchased* by the city
for the fourth ward school will be
used next year for the occupancy of
this grade. It can be made suitable
with but little expense, having been
used by the art department of tho
Home school.
This has been one of the most suc
cessful years In the history of the
schools and the hoard is justly proud
of tho work that has been doue by
both teachers ami pupils.

one dreaded disease that science has

that Is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
Is the only posltlvo cure now known
to tho medical fraternity. Catarrh be
ing a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure is taken Internally, acting
directly upon tho blood and mucous
surfaces of tho system, thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up tho constitution and as
sisting nature In doing Its work. The
proprietors havo so much faith In Its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars fur any case that It
fails to cure. Send for list of testimo

Sunday was a big day for the little
town of Center, on the Southern rail
road.
An an day singing was tho occa
sion of tho gathering and it Is esti
mated that the largest crowd ever
seen In that town was present. From
every section of the country they
came, on foot and in buggies and wag-
ons and carta and. on the trains.
About noon, after tho first session
of tho singing convention was over,
the people began to be thirsty and to
the two wells and one spring In the
little town the crowds began to con
gregate.
For two hours this rush to get cool
water continued and finally tho supply
In one of the wells literally gave out
and the other well was rapidly ex
hausted. But the desire did not stop
there and about four o'clock the three
sources of the supply wero completely
exhausted. There was nothing else
to do but to wait until the wells could
refill thomselves and tha thirsty had
to wait for water.
No such experience has ever been
known to the oldest Inhabitants of the
placo before.

Washington, Mar 21.—The depart
ment of agriculture will shortly Issue
comprehensive report on tho con
sumption of cotton in tho cotton states
compiled by J. L. Watkins, the cotton
expert of the bureau of statistics.
It traces cotton manufacture In this
country from Its inception to tho pres
ent lime and reviewing tho industry In
tha past twenty yean soys that not
withstanding the great Increase In the
world’s consumption of cotton the
overshadowing feature of the period
is the phenomenal Increaso In con
sumption In tbo cotton states.
This consumption In the south In
creased 1,007,000 bales, or 89 per cent,
the consumption In the north bos In
creased 762,000 bales, or 69 per cent,
and in the whole country 2,369,000
bales, or nearly 148 per cent This, the
report says. Is of Immense significance
to the countries consuming American
cotton because every additional 10,000
consumed In this country means short
er time for some foreign mills, per
haps its shutting down, assuming, of
course, that no further expansion of
tbo American crop will toko place.
During the past twenty years the
United States bos increased Its cotton
crop nearly 6.600,000 boles, or about
96 per cent; India’s crop has Increas
ed 1,600,000 bale’s of 400 pounds each,
or 73 per cent; Egypt’s crop has in
creased 670,000 bales of 600 pounds
each, or 79 per cent; Russia, which
used to draw so largely upon this
couatry for her raw cotton. Is now sup
plying her own mills with 200,000, or
00,000 bales grown In her trans-Cos-
plan provinces; Brasil has almost
ceased exporting cotton on account of
homo demand for her crop, and the
continent of Europe bos increased Its
consumption of cotton 2,492,000 bales,
or shout 95 per cent.
The consumption of cotton In East
India, tho report points out has In
creased 1.200,000 bales, or about 200
per cent In the last twenty years and
her mills now use about half of the
crop produced there; Japan has erect
ed mills equipped with 1,323,000 spin
dles and Is consuming from 600.000 to
700,000 bales of cotton annually, near
ly 26 per cent of which la American;
tho world’s consumption of cotton has
Increased nearly 7,000,000 bales, or
shout 94 per cent, and the United
States, the largest producer, also has
become the largest consumer of cot
ton.
Hence the price of IU staple Is now
regulated In the home market Instead
of Liverpool. Every year since 1290
there has been an Increase In the num
ber of mille end spindlee In operation
and with the elngle exception of 1893-
94 an increese In the number of boles
consumed.
