Mr. Sapphold’s talk wra built up on these three question': Do you need a hotel? Can the project be made profitable? Can the necessary- funds be secured? “With the 6,00 people hen* who have outside connection* you have more than 6,000 potential guests for a good hotel,” said the speaker “Then the traveling men who would spend the week-ends here would add materially to the city’s finances if a new, up-to-date commercial tel were available.” Mr. Sapphold said further that a good hotel, when needed, always- aids existing hotels, in that more people would be drawn here and they would remain for longer time. Last, he stated that it seemed to him that all the necessary crprtal was available in Milledgeville to construct the needed hotel, with out any outside aid.

FLAMES DAMAGE HATCHER BLDG Fire Discovered in Junior Order Quarter, on Third Floor. Quick!, Extinguished A fire of unknown origin broke out at Hatcher’s Hardware Store about 1:30. Friday. The damage done was much less than the excite ment occasioned by the flames. When attention was first called to the fire by- smoke billowing from the windows, the alarm was turned in hastily. Though the fire panies responded promptly the flames had made good headway and by the time the engine arrived, the entire third floor was in flames. The promptness and ability of the firemen were rewarded soon, for the flames were conquered eventually by the two powerful streams of wa ter. The floor where the fire originat ed was used aa the lodge rooms of the Junior Order of American Me chanics and the Knights of PythiaS. The furniture and regalia were I ly damaged. * The aec'nd floor, utilized by Baldwin Blues as an armory, damaged only by water. On the first flo.tr, a large hardware stock, in the establishment of Mr. R. W. Hatcher, was also badly damaged. While the battle against the flames was underway, Mr. W. R. Dunham was struck and fcriously injured by a bursting hose. Mr. Dunham’s left leg was broken in the accident. Mr. Nat Knight was also knocked to the pavement in the excitement Both men were carried to the doctors clinic where they were given imme diate attention and were later car ried to their homes. Mr. Knight, in jured only slightly upon the head, was able almost immediately to re sume his duties as mechanic at the garage of Mr. Ralph Simmerson. Mr. Dunhim will be confined to his home some time. The Hatcher Building is one < the largest and most handsome in th city and it ia a cause for thawagb ing that it was not more seriously damaged.

Such an acci dent a* this has caused one day's delay in publication to the regret of the editors especially when such a charming group of young ladies were directing the editor ship this week. On Saturday afternoon, a heat ing unit in the electric pot of the Linotype machine burned out. An S. O. S. was rent to New Orleans, the nearest point that one of the^c units could be secured. The unit arrived Tuesday, causing a delay of one day .ind a half in the composition of the paper, there fore we could not get the paper from the press, before Thursday instead of Wednesday night as is the usual program. The newspaper that ha* only one machine is out of luck when something fails to operate. We were compelled to leave out a number of well written articles, treating interesting topics and subjects. We will however, in future issues of The Uniop-Re corder carry these articles giving full credit to the authors. R. B. MOORE. Editor.
