Firemen Endangered By a Falling Steeple Lightning Sets Brunswick Church Spire Ablaze and Causes It to Topple. BRUNSWICK. Aug 16 —When Mc- Kendree Methodist Church was struck by lightning and set on fire, Fire Chief Harrison and three of his men narrowly missed death. The lightning set fire to the steeple. The chief and three firemen climbed to the roof of a one-story addition adjoining the main part of the build ing. Before the fire was under con trol the steeple fell. Chief Harrison saw wha was coming and quickly ordered his men to seek safety. Just I as the got under cover the steeple crashed on the roof where they had j been standing. AUGUSTA. Aug. 16.—Pursuant to a demand from the Augusta Chap ter. Woman's Christian Temperance Union, that the City Council of Au gusta regulate the saloons of the city and put a stop to the alleged flagrant violation of the law, which was re ferred to the police committee of the City Council, a report has been made to that body by this committee at a special meeting. The W. C. T. U. members requested that the City Council tell them, in plain terms, what they intended to do about the Augusta situation. The City Council will make reply that it has no authority in the matter, in effect, the City Council will tell the W. C. T. U. that it can not regulate the saloons within its corporate lim its; that if the women wish the law enforced, they will have to appeal to j the Solicitor of the City fourt or the Police Commission of the city of Au- I gusta. This must be done by "spe cific charges," presented either to the Solictior or the commission. From this answer grew a heated argument on the prohibition law and its non-enforcement in Augusta. But the argument was merely by way of diversion. It was suggested that if the police wore not doing their duty by the law in Augusta, a movement should be made to Impeach the Police Commission, but that was only a sug gestion. Councilman S. II. Myers of the Hixth Ward, discussing the proposi tion, said: “Council simply pays the freight. We appropriate between $90,000 and $100,000 a year for the maintenance of the police department, and can not even make a suggestion as to what it shall do.” The city is peculiarly situated in this respect. The police department, unlike the fire department, is not governed by a committee of the City Council. Under an act of the Gen eral Assembly of Georgia, a commis sion, consisting of a member from each of the city wards, and the May or. is appointed to govern the police department. The commissioners are elected by the City Council, but im mediately when they assume office the commissioners have as much or greater authority than Councilmen. A recent change, removing the power of dictating to the chief from the Mayor and placing it in the hands of the chairman of th e commission, removes the last semblance of power of Council over the department. If the commission sees fit to ignore the request of the W. C. T. IT., even if all City Council voted to the con trary, it may be done, and there is no hindrance-. So, having investigated the situa tion and found themselves without authority to suggest to that, the most important, department of the city, the City Count'd will inform the W. C. T. U. of their find, and will request them "to draw’ up specific charges of violations of the law and present them to either the Solicitor of the City Court or the Police Commission of Augusta.” AUGUSTA, Aug. 16.—Dove hung ers have been in the habit of shoot ing this species of the feathery tribe in August for so many years that they don’t know how* to stop. Game Warden W. H. Lanier, of Richmond County, says he win show them. The dove season doesn’t open until November 20, and Warden LanL-r says that he la going to arrest all vio lators of the law and send them im mediately to Jail if they don’t give bond. He goes further and offers a reward of $10 and three-fourths jf the tine for the arrest and conviction of violators. The fields, woods and swamps about Augusta are full of game, and the quail and dove season is expected o prove rich harvest for the sportsmen of this section. In the Savannah River swamp. 5 ? duck, wild turkey deer and squirrels are to be found, and this is some f the best hunting in the country. Schedule to Tybee For September Superstitious Fears Vanish as Record Is Unearthed—Few Storms in September. SAVANNAH, Aug. 16.—Following a prolonged agitation on the subject, the Central of Georgia Railw’ay has announced a Tybee schedule for Sep tember which will answer ail require ments of those w’ho care to remain on the island during that month, and will make it possible for the season to be extended for the additional 30 days. It is now’ up to the people to show whether the experiment is justifiable or not. For years a sort of superstition has existed that it is not well to stay on Tybee during the month of Septem-. ber.

There is also a very deep-seated fear of storms during this period, w’hen the hurricane season is in full swing and the weather man is likely to spring a West Indian tornado this w’ay overnight.
