A BAD FIRE.
The Home of W. F. Baker Gutted
bv the Lurid Flames.
About to o’clock Friday morn
ing the home of Mr. W. F. Baker,
in the southeastern portion of the
city was discovered the be on fin ,
the flames making quite a blaze
upon the roof. An alarm was*
turned in and soon the entire fire
department was on hand doing
most effective work.
Soon the whole upper story was
ruined, however, and much dam
aged. The household effects were
saved though in badly damaged
condition. The upper portion of
the building, a two story frame
was burned nearly off before the j
fire could be .subdued with four
stream? of water.
The insurance upon the build
ing was SI,OOO while a S3OO policy
was carried upon the household
goods, which will hardly cover the
damage.
Mr. Baker will give the home a
thorough repairing when all ad
justment with the insurance is had.
The house was most substantially
built of the best material and made
an obstinate fire while it lasted.
INCIPIENT BLAZE.
Saturday flight about 8 o’clock
Chief of Police Satterfield was
patrolling East Main street, and,
noticing smoke coming ftom the
rear of Mr Carter Williams’ .coal
office, made an investigation. He
discovered a large blaze among
trash at the corner of the building,
which had caught the frame work
of the same. Hastily a bucket
brigade was formed and by des
perate work the flames were siib
dued. This fire w’as in a most
dangerous location, the store room
buildings in the neighborhood be
ing of wood entire or shingle roofs.
The wind was blowing from the
southeast at the tim% just in the
right direction to have consumed
the entire block of stores to the
railroad.
It was a fortunate discovery and
probably saved many thousands of
dollars to store keepers and prop
erty owners. •
TAMPA, FLORIDA.
Editor The News: '
While on this beautiful Sabbath
morning I havn’t anything to do
and it being a little early for
church, I will endeavor to write
you a short letter. lam sure the
people of old Bartow are i Terest
ed in the Land of Flowers and
would like to hear how it looks in
the first davs of March. While I
sit here and write, the sweet notes
of *he songster can be heard giv
ing forth such a sweet melody,
that as man sits and rest on this
day, it brings a sweet feeling over
him and carries him back to the
memories of childhood, when as a
boy he sat and heard the same
sweet song. The sun sheds his
Lrilliant rays on beautiful Florida
and makes one feel good.
Tampa is a city of about thirty
five thousand inhabitants, she has
an ever increasing trade and
grows. Ten years ago she was
only a very small town, where
trees, palmetto and other things
were growing, now Stand magnifi
cent hemes I cannot picture to
you the beauty of Tampa. I can
only say that she bids fair to be
one of the largest cities of the
south. New houses are going up
every day. Fine brick buildings
are being built and it doesn’t take
them very long to complete one
either. When two weeks ago
there was only a few brick and a
little lumber now stands a large
two-story building.
The Cubans do not regard the
Sabbath, they sell and buy here
on Sunday more than any other
day in the week. The saloons
are kept open and the grocery
store is open most of the day. But
in spite of all this, there are just
lots of good people here and when
a stranger comes in to a church he
is made to feel welcome.
I like the people ot Tampa, they
are all so clever and nice. I find
a lot of people from Georgia down
hare and they takft a great deal of
interest in a boy from old Georgia.
When a little over a month ago, I
arrived in the city of Tampa, I
didn’t know' anybody hardly at all
and, of course was just a little bit
backward, but now I feel like I
was at home, and I guess I am,
for I do not think I shall ever come
back to Georgia to live. When
there are one dollar in Georgia
there are three down here.
I wish it was in my power to tell
you all about the beautiful scenery
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 13, 1901.
I saw on my trip down here. Of
the rivers and lakes, all smiling in
the sunshine and seemed ever the
resort of pleasure. This is the
land of lovers, where the sun
shines bright, the birds sing iner
ri'y and the flowers bloom all the
year lound. Here the orange, ba
nana and lemon grow. I fall deep
er in love with Florida every dav.
1 he man that cannot live here is
no man at all. It doesn’t take a
fellow always to make a crop here.
I suppose the farmers in Bartow
havn’t planted anything, while
here corn and watermelons are
growing fine. I say nothing of
the fine gardens here, for it is use
less to say anything, I guess vou
all have heard of them before.
They are going to connect Port
Tampa with this place by a rock
road and street car line. It is
about ten miles from here and
when that is done we can go down
there a lot cheaper than by rail
road.
The people of Bartow county
would be ashamed of their roads
it they could once see the nice
roads they have heie. Of course
c ome are sandy but they are build
ing all the time.
There is a free show every Tues
day and Saturday evenings from
7:30 to 9 o’clock. And here is the
place that you see alj of Tampa’s
fine folks if you want to.
Well, I am running ori rather
lengthy, but I could write more
if I had the time. So good bye to
the people of Georgia.

Thos. Upshaw.
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
The City Opera House Under
Charge of Mr. Henty Milner.
At a meeting of the city coun
cil last night the city opera house
was ljjaicd.to.Alr. Henry Milner.
This will be gratifying news to
the people of the city and vicinity,
as Mr. Milner, having had some
experience and wdth a natural de
sk e to place before the patrons of
the opera house attractions that
will surelv please, and of such
character that the people will ap
preciate and liberally sustain, will
make a most acceptable manager.
. “Attractions” of the small order
will be given the go by as far as
possible while an eye will lie kept
open for the very best the town
! can afford.
There are many people who have
I grown indifferent as to the pro
! ductions heretofore by reason of
I fact that any and all kinds have
been allowed to appear and deceive
the people.
Fewer and better ones that will
draw the very best houses will be
management under Mr. Milner.
NO LONGER IS A DEMOCRAT
Senator 31cLaurin Reads Himself Out
of the Party.
Columbia, S. C., March 11.— Senator
McLauriu of South Carolina is no longer
a Democrat, says a Washington dis
patch. His name has been stricken from
the Democratic caucus roll, aud this has
been done with the indorsement of the .
gentleman himself.
For some time the junior senator from
South Carolina has been voting with j
the Republicans on every occasion where I
there was a division on anything like !
political iines. To Democratic friends I
who have spoken with him on the sub- j
ject he has contented himself with de- t
daring that his votes were in accord- j
auce with his conscientious idea of what
was correct, and has said that he would
continue to vote as he thought right,
despite all the oriticisms of his Demo
cratic colleagues.
He has up to the present declared that
he was a Democrat, and that it would
be found, when the matter came to a
test, that his votes met the approval of :
of 1 he most progressive element of south
ern Democracy. Now, however, he has
formally separated himself from his
party.

of craps, gave Sheriff Griffin,
entire police force and two or
three others on the night of the

suit to the % deep ditch in the rear
of Mr. C. N. Patterson’s residence,
alongside the railroad. Sam went

trees' nearby\ He was found,
however, and took in tow.
Sam lias been the most liberally
shot at negro in the country, and
remarked when overhauled, “Yer

when yer turn all the guns in town
loose on him.” Sam is boarding
at the expense of the county now'.
