By paying spot cash for what you get and then
you wont have to hide from the bill collector
who comes around to collect your bill, and the
other fellow who didn'’t pay his.
Say, didn’t you know that when you buy
goods on credit you have to pay more for them
than at the cash store ? Make up your mind to
pay cash this year and save worry and money:

- The plant of the Kennesaw Marblei
Company, on the W. & A. railroad
above the city, was destroyed by fire
Saturday night, causing a loss of
about $125,000, with insurance of $50,-
000.
The fire is supposed to have started
from a stove flue. It was about six
o'clock when the alarm was givemr and
in a few minuteg the sky was red
With the reflection of the great blaze.
The plant was without fire protec
tion, beéing a mile and a half from
the incorporate limits, and nothiag
could be done to stop the destruction.
In an hour or two the splendid pron
erty, the best equipped mill in the
South, with all the fine machinery M 1
marble in process of manufacture, was
2 mass of charred ruins. 1
More than a hundred men "were'
thrown out of employment. ° ‘ J
It is expected that the-plant will be.
rebuilt. It will require about six
months. |
Mr. A. V. Cortelyou is president of the
‘company, John H. Kendall, vice-presi
dent and Captain R. W. Boone secre
tary and treasurer. The company was
solidly established and held the far
‘gest number of advance contracts ever
‘on file.
A meeting of the stockholders will
'‘be held in a few days at which the
matter of rebuilding will come up for
action,
The men who hold stock in the en
‘terprise, like the officers, are leading
citizens, and they have the sympathy
of the entire community, The destruec
tion of the mill amounts to a public
calamity but the men behind the prop
‘erty are of a type to indicate that they
will rebuild on even a larger scale,

; HOUSE WAS BURNED.
\
Empty Hose lay On Cround
~ While Residence Was
‘ Consumed.
~ The Trust Com pany of Georgia, which
owns the water system of Marietta,
‘will be asked to pay for an eight room
house which was burned Saturday
night and which would probably have
‘been saved if there had been any
‘water with which to fight it.
~ Bnit will be filed to cover the loss,
‘which was about $l,BOO.
' A strong point in the case is the fact
i that the management had been notifled
‘that something was the matter in that
section and that the water was not
flowing in the pipes.
While the fire was raging at the
Kennesaw Marble Works, a second
alsrm waa turniad in and the hose reel
and ladder wagon responded promptly.
The building on Lawrenoe street
lowned by Dr. G. O. Allen and occu
pied by Mr. E. L. Milam, waa in a blaze
A line of hose was quickly laid from
the hydrant at Cole street and when
leverything was ready and an attempt
was made to turn on the water,{ not s
drop would flow.
Several hundred persons who had
collected saw the flames spread and
threaten adjacent buildings while a
line of empty hose, dry asa powder
horn, lay useless on the ground.
’ The house had eight rooms with a
dioing room and bath room on the side.
‘The fire started somewhere about the
bath room and it is thought the flames
could have beem extingaished if a
stream of water could have beengotten
from the nearest hydrant.
The loss on the building was $l,BOO
with $l,OOO insurance.
. Mr. Milam Jost practically all his
¢ousehold furniture. The piano, being
o the front of the house, was saved
Friday it was discovered that water
would not flow in the pipes and the

ni zht the fire took place and the hy
drant on the corner failed to furnish
water, .
It is not known just what the trouble
was. One, statement is that a nut was
missing. Another is that some packing
was not in place,
