FIRE AT WARM SPRINGS Waru Springs, Ga., September 16. —[Special.]—The Warm Spring* Ho¬ tel and the cottage of Mrs. Mustang, the grandmother of the hotel propri¬ etor, w ere totally destroyed by last night. The fire must have caught in the kitchen, as that end of the building was in full Ware when first discovered. The fire broke out at- midnight and at two o'clock th« buildings were burned te the ground. Hie season being nearly over, there were few guests, all of whom escaped with their baggage. None of the ho¬ tel furniture was saved. The build¬ ing and furniture were very old, and burned like tinder.

Deputy Clerk Hardee stated the total valuation of dty property as¬ sessed and returned, to be $1,300,- 000, an increase of $100,000 on the previous year.

E. P. Turner addressed the .council, and stated that his company would ask one more continuance and that the matter would be definitely de¬ termined so far as the Thomsou- Houaton company was concerned. That in another twenty-four hours they would either decide to endeavor to pnt in light* or rise abandon the Held. Mr. Turner’s opinion was that the prospect for light* waa better than ever before. Alderman Patrick thought the street committee ought at least to be authorised to get lamps in care electr ic lights fall through. Alderman Patrick suggested that two additional policemen be pnt on to maintain order during the busy fall season—from October 1st to Jan¬ uary 1st. Alderman Morris thought thia could wait until next regular meet¬ ing.

It does more than that To send such cotton to the markets from Griffin gives a black eye to Grif¬ fin eotton in these markets and dis¬ credits all future sales from this point. Of course, the damage from this policy falls at last upon the pro¬ ducer In the fields. The cotton of this being section greatly has above the reputation the average, of *pd this reputation can not be too jealously guarded. bales of this kind have Very few so farm life will allow the delay. will Newspaper* in this section do a favor to the farmer* and to the shippers by reproducing this counsel in substance in their own columns and giving it a wide circulation. ’ Another point, is after have properly covered gin¬ ning tlm cotton, to it with sufficient bagging to protect it and keep it in good condition. There is complaint that some of the cotton, covered with cotton bag¬ ging, that has thus far reached the port* is insufficiently covered. The farmer who does not pnt enough covering on his bales to confine the cotton makes a costly mistake. of One the bale is that in the handling cotton and drops there out is conse¬ quently a loss in weight. Another is tost the cotton is exposed to the weather and becomes damaged. Its value, therefore, is decreased. Still (mother is that the exporter who pur¬ chases the coiton has to get addition¬ al covering for it before be can ship this it and the fanner has to pay for covering in some way. The News and Sex calls the atten- for their own good. It is impossi¬ ble to get the best resalt from cotton that is not in the condition that the buyer requires. The factors, of course, will do the best they can for customers, but it is impossible the best them to handle cotton to advantage when it is not covered. • • « Hon. J. T.

ME «S HUTFi AN ELOQUENT DISC0UB8E. , ----- * ^ " - • Those who have taken advantage of the opportunities offered them for the last two weeks, have l**entreated to a series of eloquent, logical and instructive discourses by Elder J. A. Perdue of the Christiau church. It was the good pleasure of the writer clear and instructive. Taking for his text the language found in 2nd Cor. 48, “But if our gospel be hid, ft is hid to them that are lost,’* Mr. Perdue stated that the same Aportle who wrote this, declares in another place that “The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one that betieveth.” That being the case, it behooves us to use aM dili¬ gence to ascertain what the Gospel is. Looking into the Sacred: Scriptures, our only guide iu thingB pertaining to salvation, we find the gospel prt| sen ted in several phases. There i* the Abraham; gospel to the promise, gospel as perspective, preache| to as seen in the types and shadow of the Jewish religion; the gospel pros¬ pective as preached by John, bj Jesus himself, by the 70 and the 12 under the first commission; and the gospel rofWtimntajtoJ, preached or in fact, as under tb* last commission. The tort is that in which we today are direct¬ ly interested.
