RAZED ONE HOUSE
10 Shi OTHERS
Incendiary Blaze Destroy
ed Three Frame Struc
tures at Early Hour This
Morning—Water Supply
Poor.
Thursday morning about 12.40
o'clock the fireman on watch du'y
at No. 5 engine hou*e *aw a tire
about two block* from the Standard
Oil company. The ho*e wagon at No.
5 reached the fire before the alarm
wan turned in. The fire was In two
’hree-room hou»eH, No.'s 1248 and 1250
Moore avenue. The houne next had
lo be razed to Btop the progress of
lhe fire, a* the water did not come
OD.
About a thousand feet of hose was
run to the fire, but the water failed
i*o answer the engine. Chief Reyn
j olds immediately organized the men
j into different parlies, some to the
root and others to the weather board
ing of the house at 1252. Thte house
was razed and the fire died after de
stroying the three houses.
When seen Thursday morning Chief
Reynolds said' "The. water did not
come on Wednesday night until the
fire was out.'' Capt. Jones of tile
chemieal company was on duty Wed
nesday night to watch the gauge and
answer the telephone. Me said: "At
I o'clock shat was 2ft minutes aft-r
the alarm there was no pressure on
the gauge. A few minutes after I
o'clock It started to rising and at 2
o'clock the gauge showed 20 lbs. of
water."
The gauge at the City Hall showed
about 3 lbs more than the gauge at
the Chemical Co., hut this can he ac
counted for by the fact that the gauge
at the hall Is on the street Ipvbl and
at the Chemical Co. It Is about 7
feet above the street level.
The two houses that burned first
were new houses and one of them had
been occupied only a few hours. Callle
Pettus, the negress who occupied No.
1248 said she was sure (hat the house
had been set on fire. She had no
fire In the house during the day, and
the fire started beneath the house
and ran up between the weather
hoarding and the plastering to the
attic.
This created a flue and the house
was burnt to the ground in a few
minute*.
Chief Reynolds said "I give credit
to the statement of the Pettus wo
man, because she said that several
parties wanted the house but she se
cured It. She Is an Ignorant woman
and the way she described the fire
It must have been of incendiary orl-
I gin."
The houses were occupied by Callle
Pettus. Edwin Hill and Casso Spence.
The damage was about .$ 1,40 ft. The
houses belonged to the Harper es
tate.

HUE REIHSEY
BESMITM
Says Attack Made on Him
While Sick by Magistrate
Hahn was Unwarranted.
As a result of political disturb
ances In North Augusta Marshal
Henry M Kearsey, has resigned his
position as marshal of the town and
Patrolman Charles Brown, of the Au
gusta police force, bag been elected
to fill the place. Mr. Brown has sent
In his resignation, according to a
statement this morning, and It will
undoubtedly be accepted by the Au
gusta police department to become ef
fective October 1, next.
Mr. Kearsey this morning made the
following statement concerning the
matter:
"All I have to say is th it the at
tack made on me by Magistrate Hahn
through the press, while I was sick
irt bed with fever, was unwarranted
and I have resigned from the place I
now hold as marshal of North Au
gusta, the same to take effect Octob
er 1. The mayor and council have
been courteous enough to allow me
to suggest my successor and I did
so with the result that Charles Prown,
of the Augusta police force, was
named and he has also resigned his
position.
"So far as the salvage case of
Wells and Levy Is concerned I am in
lormed by his lawyer that he was
only supplied with claim and delivery
blanks and not given any other in
formation.
"As regards to the arcin.nt'onsithat
l have been making arrests on frivol
ous complaints I have nqjhltiK to say
and will leave it to the good people
of Georgia and South Carolina to de
termine between us as to whether
they believe 1 would do such a
thing."
LETTER TO ROBINSON A OVER

Augusta, Ga.
Dear Sir: You buy horses. What’ll
you give for five that'll travel 6 7 8
9 Ift miles an hour—one looks as good
as another, one eats as much as an
other, alike except go?
You've got “no use for a horse that
can't go more than 8 miles an hour?"
We thought so.
Well; Devoe Is a paint. Ift gallons
of which is enough for your house—
if it Isn’t too big. If you use the
next-best paint, it'll take 11 gallons;
another 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2ft;
you can find a paint that'll take over
2ft gallons.
What'll you give for that row of
paints, begin at the end of the row?
Same as you'll give for the six
mile horse, eh? We thought so.
my—when we've got a hum horse
to sell, we shan’t call on you.
Yours truly

Miss Emma Gary spoke to a large
and appreciative audience last night
at St. Luke. A few of her principal
points were: China’s comparative
population—about one-third of the
whole world —Her contrioution for
the moral uplift of the world:
First, gunpowder; second, the art
of printing; third, the manner's com
pass. Her people are Hober and in
dustrious, Intensive farmers and lov
ers of peace. The opium was forced
upon them by the East India com
pany, backed up by the English navy.
Great friends to this country, entirely
unlike Japan. The greatest evils the
the opium habits, which is being
stamped out by an edict from
press; worships of idols being dis
placed by Christ through the mis
sionary.
Miss Gary will speak in the Metho
dist church in Hephzibah tonight.

New York, secretary of the aged mil
lionaire, John Leonard, who was ac
i cidentally though mysteriously shot
] while handling a revolver yesterday,
! was questioned today hy the authorl
j ties in a very searching manner.
At the outset of the inquisition it
j was explained to Mr. Phillips that
j the examination was as much in jus-
I tic© to himself as it was to satisfy
| the minds of the public officials. The
prosecutor slated that he felt sure
; that the investigation would entirely
exonerate the secretary of any doubt
i which is now felt toward the acci
| dent.
The bodv of the old millionaire steel
magnate lies in state at his hand
some residence here, while the auth
orities are prosecuting their exatnin
-1 at ion.
Phillips is 52 1 years old and had
been'in ihe employ of Mr.
ns secretary for nearly thirty years.
Their relations had always been pleas
ant—rather cordial if anything. Phil
lips today gave the same version of
the shooting which he outlined yester
day. He said:
"I know nothing about firearms.
When I found the revolver lying be
side the road while walking towards
| Mr. Leonard's home, I naturally put
.it in my pocket I did not know
| whether it was loaded or not, nor

him that I had found it on the high
