Aug 11.—A bomb thrown into the Skinner Hard ware Company building here last night demolished that store, and fire which followed destroyed the entire block in which the Skinner store was located. The loss is $50,000, par tially covered by insurance. Early* to-day the Sheriff from Greenville and a posse of regular and special deputies arrested a negro, charging him with being the man who placed the bomb in the Skinner I building. While the officers claim co have strong evidence against the I black man. they have not stated what it is. The feeling against the ac cused is running high, and it is re ported that the negro has been spir ited away by two deputies to prevent any possibility of a lynching. The buildings destroyed are as fol lows: Skinner^ Hardware Company, loss $5,000. Insurance $3,000; Meach- am & Kirkland drug store, loss $3,000. Insurance, $1,500; S. E. Berharn clothing store, loss $3,500. insurance $1,000; People’s Bank, ail fixtures lost, but vault and valuables saved; House & Balliard barber shop, loss about $500 Mr. Skinner owned all of the build ings destroyed. The offices of the Mayor and a number of the city offi cials were in the bank building, ’"hey lost their office fixtures. Practically all of the residents wore attending church when the explosion occurred, and turned out in a body to fj"ht the fire, their efforts confining the blaze to the one block. There is no regular fire department in the town. No reason can be assigned for the motive of the person or persons in throwing the bomb into the store, un less it was due to some grudge against some of the occupants.

Big Send-Off Is Planned. Some idea of the sentiment that exists among Atlanta motorists can be gained from the plans that are being made to godspeed Mr. Fer guson when he starts on his journey. When he leaves Atlanta next Mon day in the big touring car that has traveled most of the roads of the country, he will be escorted out of the city by many local automobilists and motorcyclists who realize what the proposed tourists route would do for the South, and who are indorsing Dangles Unconscious in Tree Half Hour Before Being Rescued.

Before an electrician could be found or a pair of rubber gloves that would enable someone to rescue him the boy had become unconscious and hung limn and a^arentl" lifeless. The absence of a pair of rubber gloves prevented the rescue of the child for half an hour, and then a street car came alone whose motor- man had a pair of rubber gloves. He climbed the tree and cut the wire. Name of Girl Whose Likeness Will Adorn Booster Badge To Be Announced Wednesday. Atlanta’s prettiest girl at last is to be named.
