$40,000 FIRE LOSS
ATHENS TUESDAY
Fire broke out in the Klieu and Mar
tin wagon factory and automobile' paint
shop near the Oentral of Georgia de
pot shortly before four o'clock Tuesday
morning in Athens and the entire
plant, valued at around $40,000 was
totally destroyed. The loss is only par
tially covered by insurance.
‘ The blaze originated in a sjore room
directly back of the office and before
it could be curbed had spread into the
factory and saw mill. Once it struck
the highly inilamable stack of lumber,
■'the tire could not be checked, and the
local tire department bent its efforts
on saving the surrounding buildings.
The Hodgson Oil Refining company
was directly adjacent to the burning
plant and the big oil tanks were for
almost an hour in permanent danger.
The heat at that time wa* terrific, and
had tlu> oil caught it is almost certain
that be enire portion of the city near
the plant would have been destroyed.
H. E. Martin, manager of tin* factory,
stated that be estimated the losses as
follows: Tlie plaid was valued at
$15,000 and the machinery at a like
amount. In addition to this, there
were fifteen automobiles in the paint
I, department, all of which were lost in
, the blaze.
Mr. Martin declares that on account
x of the presence of cotton warehouses,
j lumber yards and tlie oil factory in
that vicinity, the fire insurance rating
/that was given him was almost pro
hibitive and while he made no defi
nite statement it is understood that
| tlie insurance will not exceed SIO,OOO.

San Francisco, Tuesday, 25th.
Dea r Friends:
Although we are 3,000 miles away we
have not forgotten you, nor our dear
Georgia friends, neither the dearest
spot on earth—our home, Winder.
After leaving Chicago, we took the
Canadian l’acitic for Banff. Lake Lou
ise and Vancouver. When we reached
Portland, the dividing line between U.
S. A. and Canada, we got out, a tall
pole on which flew the National flag.
1 walked up to put my right, hand
against it and with my head uncovered
said. “I am glad 1 am an American
citizen, the greatest people and govern
ment upon the earth.”
The country alj the way, the C. P.
H. R. is barren, no forest or streams,
only stock raising. After reaching the
rookies, the scenery was not only
beautiful but inexpressibly wonderful,
not equaled in N. A. ; not surpassed in
Switzerland. Banff and Lake Louise
are great resorts. I can not give you
any conception of the beauty of Lake
Louise.
Vancouver as you know is the groat
shipping point of Canada for China,
India aiid Japan. Fine t line of steam
ers cross the Pacific from this point.
We took boat at Vancouver for Heat
tie. Vancouver has a population of
275,000. Seattle 385,000. We are now
at San Francisco, the greatest city on
the Pacific coast, (175,000 population.
This country is alarmed and worried
over'the Chinese and Jap immigration.
Nine out of ten of the farms are owned
by these people; eight out of ten of
school children are of these nationali
ties. So wliat arc the Americans to
do? What can they do.
As soon as a Jap getH a little money
he opens up In the most prominent
place he can find, and as they live on
nothing and sleep on the floor or back
yajil. the Americans can pot cope
with them in trade. They arc altogeth
er unreliable.

Russell Will Stay
In Judgeship Race
Atlanta, August Ist.—Judge It. B.
Russell, candidate for chief justice of
the supreme court of GeGorgia. today
called attention to the misleading re
port of one newspaper correspondent,
evidently unfriendly, who in sending
news over the stute is apparently try
ing to deceive some of the friends and
supporters of tin* Winder jurist and,
one of tlie most picturesque characters
in Georgia politics.
The aforesaid newspaper correspon
dent, according to Judge Russell, docs
pint stick to facts when says "Judge
Russell has not received much encour
agement and is expected to drop out
of the contest.” "
“All the newspaper boys are m.v
friends, and I am their friend, as they
,all know,” said the Judge today, “hence
it comes as u surprise, I might say a
shock, to find one of them misrepre
senting me.
“To say that. I am not receiving
much encouragement or that I contem
plate quitting the rues*, is just the o|c
posite from the true situation. The
assurances of support I have received
from practically every section of the
state, lead me to believe that I will
la* elected by a very large majority.
‘I wisli to assure my frleads that
