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. • ' • Your friend, 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. County Site to Be Removed.
