Dives of .Many Cal lents ju Danger. No Loss ol' Life. Anderson, April '?ii. Tho Ander son County Hospital, a tbreo-story brich building constructed fout yen rs ago al a cost of $50,000, was completely destroyed by Uro late.(lils, afternoon.. Tho lire, it .i'.v stated, u?PigfiH?U3rt**fTOiK -a ^lighted match carelessly thrown by a white man. an oil wagon driver, near a can of kerosene, which ho bad just depos ited on the side porch. Tho kero sene was Ignited and a tank of gaso llno nearby exploded, throwing Hames In every direction. The negro orderly was the first to discover the Ure and ho hurriedly In formed the superintendent, Miss lites1, who, in a calm and composed manner, instructed tho nurses to help her get the patients out Of the building. Pat lents Hurriedly Removed. All the patients who wero well enough to walk were led from their beds to the elevator and were taken to the ground In safety, ttix other patients, who had undergone opera tions In the last day or so, were loo weah lo help themselves, and these were taken up bodily and removed to safety. All of these were carried to tho ground by ladders put up lo the second story windows. The flames so rapidly spread over the building thal no time was given the rescuers to even throw bed clothes around tho patients as they passed them through tho windows. Four patients were brought to the ground in a nude condition. Miss .lanie Langley, ol' Mount Car mel, a nurse who was operated on this morning and who occupied a room on tho second floor in (lie rear ol' ?lie building, narrowly escaped be ing burned lo death, she screamed tor help and Dr. I*co Sanders and ("harley Sanders attempted to reach her room through I lie hall, which was in a blaze. As (lie men opened thc door lead ing to thc room of tho patient the Hames burst through and drove them hack. They hurried to tho ground, and hy means Of a ladder reached ?1 window of the room, and through th-' window tho very ill lady was taken tn safety. A few minutes' de lay would have been fatal. Judge W. F. Cox. who was operat ed on yesterday, was taken from a second story window, as were Mr J. H. Ferguson. Mrs. Bush Mrs. E. K. Todd, Miss Corry Cauley and Miss Langlea .N!it Clinkscalos, a nurse w??/remaIned at her post on tho secoX l,oor all Ibo patients worj^"11, *lp?*'>?od on the ladder iusi>,,m" i?revcnl being cut off fV* ??e?l>c*.

The lire did not add to thc seriousness of net ease, however, as she was in a con dition past appreciating Hie ex< ito nient. A negi o woman bad just been taken off the operating table and had not recovered from the anaesthesia. In an unconscious condition she was removed to safety. Other patients in tho hospital at the time were Mrs. .lanie Hancock, Mrs. A. C. Sloan. I). .1. Watson and 'Our negro women. For a time it was feared that Mrs. Hancock had lost her Ufo in the Mantes, as sin- could not bc located, ll developed later that she saw the Hames and. although in a sick and weak conditio:!, she managed to es cape on fool and proceeded to a bouse n.-\t door, whore she was found after a search. Heroism of Miss Ftes. An incident of the fire was when Miss Ftes, the superintendent, held a ladder in her ..rms to lengthen it to enable n man lo gel in a window on the second door lo rescue somo of the patients. This lady', with excep tional strength, held the ladder by herself as. the rescuer and patients were brought down tho ladder lo tho ?round. Two patients, Mrs. J, 1?. Massey and Mrs. Fannie Couch, had been dismissed from tho hospital and had not gotten out of sight of the build ing when tho Uro was discovered. In all,'there woro twelve patlonts In the building, and every one of thom was rescued and no serious ef fect upon their condition is antici pated from tho fire. . A.s the roof of tho handsome build ing was falling in, substantial busi ness men gathered on tho green park way in front of the building and discussed plans to rebuild the* hos pital nt once. Tho building was made possible four years ago by pub lic subscriptions from rich and poor all over Anderson county. Subscrip tions will likely como in voluntarily i?t onco and those, with the ? 2 7,000 Insurance carried on tho building and equipment, means that Ander son county will soon have another hospital as good, or better than the one burned to-day. Water Pressure IJOW. Tile Ure department did good, ef fective work, but tho water pressure was poor. Five streams played <>:i ibu (lames, and this ordinarily should have boon su tilden I lo check tho (lames so that Ibo patients cou pl he removed In a comfortable way. The water roaching tho hospital came through a tour-inch main, and this was inad?quate. Then, loo. one of the mains was out of commission for a while, due to some traction company construction work. Miss Utes, the su perint enden I, offi cially reported to H. S. Hlgon, tho president, to-night that the fire was caused from a lighted match thrown near tho kerosene can deposited on tho porch. Tho man who threw the match ls known to the officials of the hospital, but it cannot bo learned to-night whether or not there will be any ?nove made to prosecute bim. lt is believed hy everybody, of course, that tho man threw tho match thoughtlessly and carelessly, and not with any evil intent. J, W. Jordan, a well known den tist, of Ilopkinsville, Ky., recently had an operation for his kidney trouble, hut he says: "The llrst real relief I got was after laking Fo ley Kidney Fills. They cased the terrible pain in my back and accom plished more good than anything I had tried. I gladly recommend them." J. W. Bell. Columbus Fire Loss $250,OOO. Columbus, t?a., April 2f?.-Fire, which burned for nearly four hours in tho residence section this after noon, destroyed three blocks along West Fifth avenue between 11th and 14th streets, razing ll homes and causing a loss estimated between $250,000 and $200,000. Several lire pion were Injured, during tho pro gress of the Hames. Tho Manics, which started shortly before I o'clock, were not under eon t roi until l?30 o'clock. Low water , i essa re and a high wind are given :is the reasons for tho failure' to check the fire sooner. Aid was asked of nearby towns, and com panies arrived on special traills from Opelika and Macon! but reached the elli alter the llamea were under con trol. \ All Illings are for I lie best and every one of tts imagines lie's tho best.

Alexander Maccallum Scott inquired; "Are you aware that those called before the Senate committee are not receiving fair and honorable, treat ment? Will you take steps| to so care fair and honorable treatment for ll ri tish subjects?" , J Francis Dyke Acland, parliamen tary under-secretary for foreign af fairs, replied: R "No stich complaint, has.been re ceived by us. Surely In this matter wo must trust to tho good sense of the American people, and wo do not desire to interfere without absolute ne easily." In answer to previous queries, Mr. A el a nd had said: "I am aol aware of tho precise grounds on which the M ul ted States Senate Inquiry ls being held. I I un- 1 derstand Ibo object is to determine, tho responsibility for thc wreck. As1 far as 1 am aware there never has ' been previously a foreign inquiry Into the loss of a British vessel on ' thc high seas." In response to the suggestion from another member. Mr. Acland said he did net doubt 'that if protection wen desired by the HritiBh wit-j nesses, Instructions would bo sent to the ambassador, but we hope the j case may not arise." Will i Am O'Brien closed the discus-1 sion hy suggesting that many Ameri can citizens had lost their lives and that interest in the disaster was as great in the United States as lt ls In longland.

Rebuke for I il ease. t Greenville Piedmont.) Tho verdict of guilty returned by tile? jury in the United States District Court last evening against the Pal mers and Lou Reicher is a distinct re buke for Governor Blense, who par doned these people after they had served a short timo for their crime. A*, is known, J. H. Palmer, Charles IJ. Palmer, his son, Lou Belcher, his daughter, and Robert Belcher, Iiis grandson, were tried in tho State Court at Walhalla for thc murder of W. B. F. Corbin, a revenue officer. All four were convicted. J. B. Pal mor was sentenced to servo six years in the penitentiary. Lou Melcher eight years, Charles Palmer seven years and Robert Belcher Ufo. J. B, Pal mer's SCUtenco was suspended be cause of his old age. Covernor Blense Inst year commut ed the sen i onces of Lon Belcher and Charles li. Palmer from eight, and seven years respectively to twenty two mont lis, which time they had served. As soon as this action was taken hy the Covernor, the Federal go vern men I took the matter up, be lug unwilling to see those who had a hand in the slaying'of a Fed- ?*al olll cial gol off so lightly hy reason of i he act lon ol' a Governor, And now I h ese parties have been convicted In the Federal Court and will have to serve their sentences any way. Thal twelve men of tho State deeided they had ?not been punished sufllcionlly is a rebuke for Mr. Please, Tho question naturally arises: Have all of his pardons been granted as carelessly as this one? If lt were possible for twelve men to pass upon each of the pardons granted by the Chief Executive how many of them would bo approved? As we seo lt, tho action taken by the Federal government in this case, which was exceedingly unusual, was a rebuke to the Governor and tho verdict of twolve citizens of tho State that these peoplo had not boen suffi ciently punished was an oven greater one. - For any Itching skin trouble, piles, eczema, salt rheum? hives, itch scald head, herpes, scabies, Donn's Oint ment ls highly recommended, 50c. at all stores. I POULTRY D iV, H. COK.-. EDE ? It ICH LA a Communication Regarding Poultry Addressed to Muting Hun leghorns to Produce Simpe ami Color. " (B. E. Craig, Davis City, Iowa, in Poultry ideas.) In mating buff brood?,-as well ns all other varieties of poultry, you must keep shape constantly In mind, as shape makes tho breed and color tho variety. After you have picked out your very best specimens, you, must then know how to mate thom, or you may go backward Instead of improving your flock. I have known breeders of several years' experience io depend solely on the score cards for tho mating of their breeders. While il looks reasonable that like ought to beget Uko i have seen this fall. In mating Leghorns. If you want lo be among tho leading winners at tho prominent shows, you must have your male well up on legs, ; as a short-legged malo stands but lit tle chance ot winning. Xext in im portance is his headgear, or comb, and ear lobes. Have comb to staijj^ erect, with well defined points and free from thumb marks, extending straight back from base of comb. For comb to be set on beul accord ing to tho new standard, have third point from front of comb directly over the eye. While some breeders have 5-poltvt comb fad, I much pre fer a I or G-uolnt comb, free from thumb marks, and set well on head, as to have a 5-point comb wPh thumb marks and rear lopped ha'f over. The wattles should be medium In size and tho same length. Ear lobes are a very Important part. Choose as white an oar lobe -as pos sible, but do not use a malo show ing indications of the white running in the face, as this ls very hard to stamp out after <once established. While red is very objectionable in the ear lobes of the Leghorn, I much prefer red in lobes than for white to run in face. The tall comes next in Importance in ?the Mediterranean class. In the Leghorn choose a bird willi a fully furnished, well-spread tail. Nothing looks more disagree able to a Leghorn fancier than to have a nice male with a pinched tall and hardly enough tall coverts to cover base of tall. Choose your malo with as low a tall as possible, that ls, 4 0 degrees ls good breeding shape, hut I much prefer a Ifi-degree shap ed tail, fully furnished and well spread, than a 10-dcgreo pinched HANK KXAMIXKIl CAKE DELAYED Judge Praiser Related to One of Parties at Interest, \ Columbia, April 2ft.-The case to test the title of tho office of State Hank Examiner between B.

Diseases and Remedies Should Bo the Editors. tall. The 'body shape should stand almost horizontal, or on a level. ' In mating buff color to produce No. 1 exhibition will always demand the shill of the most ardont fancier, and there ls a wide variation between Judges as to what ls tho exact color. Tho male hack lo or neck feathers, back and saddle feathers and wing bow should bo of an oven color, without light shafting or a tendency of red on wing bows. I much pre fer a dark even-colored malo to a soft-colored bird with light shafting | and light under color. The wing and tall should bo round, but black. Smut or pepper, as you might torin it. is much preferred to white. Tho breast ol' tho male should correspond with your female body, and your fe male nock color should, as near as possible, correspond with the male's nock, back and saddlo feathers, and if you mate your matings in this manner you can depend on even colored chicks. While somo breed ers claim tho male stamps color and tho female shape, I depend on equal chances from both, and while the male is half the flock, I pay moro attention to tho malo and then choose females to match. A. female with good long back and a well spread tall is a great asset to any ? breeder's yard. I have found that you can make greater Improvements by using a double mating. In most ail varieties use your coarser females that stand well up on legs, with combs that stand as near erect as possible, to mate for your chick mat ing, and usc your finer or first-class exhibition females for your pullet mating, and you will seo groat Im provement.

Sent free imps to pay for wropping and mading only. strong chicks nnd we may still go a little farther back and say have good strong breeding birds that will pro duce eggs that will produpe chicks that will live. Strong vitality is es sential and should bo carefully look ed aftor. If you pick your breeding birds close and try to got only birds with extra good vitality and health, you will find you will have enough trouble as it ls. It is bad policy to select birds'for the breeding pens that have had disease or lu other words a "cured bird." There are four essentials that the Poultry raiser must keep In mind: Vitality, pure food, sanitation and proper care or treatment. How dis couraging it is to batch out a flock of chicks that look healthy and good for tho first week or ten days and then have them die off day by day hntil the entire Hock has perished. If a chick has strong vitality when hatched, with a little care and care ful attention the first few weeks of its lifo you will not have much trou ble to raise it. One strong chick is worth one hundred weakly ones. lt is likely you can raise some of tho weak ones up until they p^t nearly grown or possibly matured, but they are worthless as breeders or egg pro ducers. I hopo that every reader of this paper will allow nothing but good, ' strong, healthy birds to stay in thei' breeding pens, and if they have vi tality and aro really vigorous and healthy lt will mean success to you. v Packing Eggs for Hatching. As there are a great many ama teur breeders who do not know how to pack eggs, we will give a good and safe way to pack them, and they can bo shipped any distance without breaking. We have shipped a good many eggs this way with groat success. Always uso a 'basket, ^ for having a handle, they aro care fully handled by the expressman. First, line tho bottom, and wrap each ogg in a quantity of paper. Place them'in rows across tho bottom, when you have the bottom filled, stuff In between each egg excelsior. Then place an Inch of excelsior on top, and repeat the operation for the next story. When you have tho bas ket filled, place about three inches of excelsior on lop and press down, cover tho basket over with muslin, sowing around tho sides. Don't for get to mark plainly "Eggs for Hatching; Handle with Care." This is ono of tho most convenient modes pf packing eggs, and thoro'is no dan ger of eggs getting out of place, and does not coat much. Try this way of packing4 eggs aifd you will receive no complaints and your customers I will have good success in hatching.
