the bomb explosion while seated at his
desk. During the panic of 1007 the
same offices, then the Trust Company
of North America, was a atorno center.
Now we have reached what Is prob
ably the most widely known bank In
the world? J. I?. Morgan A Co. It Is a
low. attention-gripping building of
classic outline. The structure 1m new,
but thf* afternoon It looked as If It
had been machine gunned.
Directly across Broad street Is the
stock exchange, a ten-story marble
building that cost1 $^,000,000 with Its
six Corinthian columns rising Jo the
fifth floor. The pediment statues

officials quulitlcd their answer to (hit
question as to whether Mayor Mae

"not that we know of, hut you must

Smashed Mail Hoses.
Henry Johnson, a negro, was arreated
and placed in Jail Monday, charged
with smashing two mail boxen in the
tobhy of the Camden postoffl<<e. The
negro uitd a piece ?*f gaivantaed piping
but It is n<>t though* (hat he secured
auy of the mall. One of the boxes
broken into was that of CJ, I* Black

Camden.
Veterans who go to the Confederate
reunion in Houston, Texas, October
5 to 8, will not be quartered in camp
Instead, the plan used successfully at
Tulsa In 1018 and at Memphis in 1910
will be followed and the old soldiers
housed in schools and quartermaster
general of the army to lend any equip
ment except tents tp, the U* C. V.
caused tho change of plan. A resolu
tion passed by congress in July provid
<>d for the loan of tents to veterans'
organization ; but does not mention
other equipment. The war depart
ment. stayed by the letter of the net.
Congress is not in session to change
It. Cots and blankets enough to fit. out
10, 000 veterans for outdoor sleeping
cost too much. So 5,000 double mat
tresses have been ordered and will be
spread down In the "bMlts" ' all near
tlie center of the city. The mess kit
chen and dinning halls will be erected
on city property, at MeKjnney and
Smith streets, four blocks from the
city auditorium, which Is reunion
hendqua rters. E. A. IMckens who hn*
fed the "boys" at seven reunions, is
already constructing his restaurant
plant. Billeting the veterans Indoors
win avoid all danger of exposure should
a sudden storm come up, as Impended
at Atlanta last year, when two inches
of rain flooded the veterans out of
en in p. Up to date 1.000 places in
Houston homes for the more aged and
enfeebled veterans have been made for
a maximum of 10,000 old soldiers and
f"i a total of 75,000 visitors.
