If you get one warehouseman's fig¬

the meantime the first one has re¬

Besides this, warehousemen do not
always like to give exact figures
every day. Boms days one ware

here from ten miles this side of Co¬

here it costs him nothing.

—The Lower Hydraulic cotton press,
the Tyler press and jive cotton sheds
at the foot of Bay street burned be¬
tween 2 and 3 o’clock thk morning
Four thousand five hundred bales of
cotton stored in the warehouses were
also burned. The total loss by the
fire will approximate $400,000. The
fire started in one corner of the No,
2 warehouse, back of the Lower press,
and flashed into a blaze, which spread
over the entire yard before any effort
could be made to cheek it. A stiff
breeze was blowing and fanned the
flames beyond the control of the
fire department, which was almost
totally powerless.
A lack of water in tiie main leading
to the yards gave the fire full sweep.

The Alliance Barbecue.
Reports continue to come in of the
nice time that was had at the Alliance
barbecue at Tirzah last Thursday,
heightening our regrets that we could
not accept the cordial invitation of
the president to be there. Cotton
bagging was used for a table cloth-
and besides all the good things for
which Spalding County’s housewives
are famous the barbecued meats are
said to have been the finest ever bar¬
becued in the county. Henry Base
was there and did full justice to it all;
in fact, he was still full of it yester¬
day, and said that the fair women
present were even better than the
edibles. There must have been some
mighty good looking ladies there for
Henry to say that.
