streets after I o'clock at night would
be arrested, unless they were owners
of buildings or stocks of goods, or
agents therefor. Many people are
homeless as a result of the disaster,
and as almost every chimney was de
stroyed, cooking cannot be done In
any of the houses.
Estimates made on the loes of life
place the number of victims at as high
a figure as forty, but It Is believed that
not more than fifteen have lost their
lives.
Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 22.—That
George D. Perkins, of Sioux City, un
successful candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor of Iowa, will
bolt the national ticket In 1(08 unless a
conservative Republican Is nominated
for president, waa Indicated In an edi
torial In his paper, The Sioux City
Journal, today.
Btatlng that Governor Cummins Is In
line with the general progressive move
ment within the Republican party, Mr.
Perkins adds:
"It Is the fault of politics that there
Is too much thought of a day's winning
and not enough consideration of things
themselves, good and enduring. The
Republican party can better afford to
be whipped In 1908 than take up va
garies, pack Itself with absurdities and
mortgage Its future to the tendencies
toward anarchism. Rather than encour
age Influences bearing In that; direction,
the very opposite should be done.”

Statesboro, On., Sept. 22.—Much In
terest Is felt here in the action of the
convention which meets at Waynesboro
next Monday to nomlnnte a congress
man for the First district.
Since the first session of the conven
tion here, when Mr. Brannen and his
opponent, Mr. Sheppard, could not
agree on a settlement, the Brannen
delegation has been free to choose an
other man, yet they have stood by
Brannen for 461 ballots.
During the Inst session Mr. Brannen
sent to 'the convention a note In which
he said that he considered the hnrmony
of the -party to which he belonged of
more Importance than the success of
one man. He therefore. aakgd thnt they
nominate sOhie good man ah standard-
bearer. Shortly after the reading of
this note the convention was moved to
Waj'nesboro. 1
Mr. Hrnnnen's action was construed
by some to mean his absolute with
drawal. To correct thnt Impression he
has given the following letter for pub
lication:
“It seems that my action In stating
to the convention thnt I was ready to
withdraw nt any time and allow them
to name some other candidate rather
than my opponent or myself, has been
construed by some Into an absolute
withdrawal on my part.
“This Is not true, and while I am
now and nt nny time ready to with
draw, I will not do so until my oppo
nent does the same. I am In the hands
of my delegates. They say they in
tend to stand by me until Mr. Sheppard
sees lit to retire also, and I am going
to stand by my delegates In the matter.
(Signed.) ”J. A. BIIANNENV'
The fact that the convention meets
In Waynesboro renews the rumor that
lion. W. II. Davis, of that city, will be
the dark horse to get the nomination.

Savannah, Ga„ Sept. 22.—The Sa-
vannnh theater, which waa destroyed
by Are laat night, waa the oldest thea
ter in the United States.
The fire, which originated In the
basement at 8:46 o'clock, rapidly spread
to all parts of the building, and de
spite the fact thnt the entire lire de
partment responded, the structure was
aoon destroyed.
Spectacular Blaze.
A tremendous crowd gathered to
watch the lire. Many women and chil
dren were In the crowd. It was not
generally known that there had been
no piny nt the theater. The word
was passed through the crowd thnt
there had been a piny In progress, and
that there were people In the burning
building. There was great excliement
until the crowd was irihde to under
stand this was not true. There was no
performance at the theater, but had
there been there would have been loss
of life, so rapid was the spread of the
flames. The tire occurred about twen
ty minutes after the hour nt which the
curtain usually rises.
Waa Erectad in 1818.
The building waa erected In 1818,
and a fruitful subject of dispute has
been as to whether It was the oldest or
the second oldest theater In this coun
try. one In Philadelphia Is said to have
been older. ,
The theater wan owned by A Inert
Weis, of New York, and waa In the
Oreenwnld theatrical rlr*Milt. It waa
valued at $75,000. There In no other
play house In Savannah and there
will be a general cancelling °f all dates.
The fire Is thought to have originated
from a defective eie.ctrtc wire Insula
tion.

KIRK KENNAN LEAVES
FOR
Kirk Kennan. for elsv.n years one of
the best known and moat popular cigar
men In the city, left Atlanta this after
noon to go to Birmingham where he
will be aeeoclated with the D. B. Bur
nett Cigar Company.
•'Kirk." as he Is familiarly known,
has passed out domestlrs, Havanas,
cigarettes, cheroots and In fact "every
thing lit to smoke” so long that he has
become known to not only every
smoker In the city, but to a large per
ccntage of the transients.
Kirk helped Colonel Harry' Silverman
to gam hi* reputntlon. He hes helped
J. J. Good rum to do business. And all
the time the Jolly, genlel salesman was
making a reputation for hlmseir.
There are a lot of people who will
be sorry to sea Mr. Kennan leave At
lanta. He knows what brands the
smokers smoke, even when the smok
ers don't know for themselves. They
know he keeps hfs stock clean und
fresh, end that he will not pass out a
‘stinker" when a good cigar Is called
for.
Kirk has a host of friends, and min
gled with the regret nt his leaving goes
the "good luck, old fellow" which every
man loves to hear.
