McMaster and McLanrln Getting to tbe Bottom of Things. Insurance Commissioner McMaster j and Warehouse Commissioner Mcj Laurin are in New York looking in| to the insurance situation, and they are working in harmony to arrange ' the differences with the companies that have withdrawn from the State. The New York Journal of ComI f i . n a i l_if_i merce or last oacuraay puunsnes au interview with an unnamed iusurance magnate, who is quoted as saying that it is not desirable for the insurance people to compromise the South Carolina situation until the officials down this way have been made to sweat awhile and learn who is boss. This idea is that if the business interests of the State are deprived of fire protection to sufficient extent they will bring sufficient pressure on the Governor and Legislature to make them "eat out of the hands" of the insurance magnates. The Enquirer has information that certain large financial interests of Columbia and other parts of the State are urging the New York fire companies not to compromise with Messrs McLaurin and McMaster; but to hold them off until the people feel the pressure. Positive evidence has recently been secured to that effect, and it is said that some of it is in such shape that it can be used in court if necessary. The Enquirer has names of the traitors but is not jTet authorized to make these names public. One expression at the South Carolina end i3 like this: "All we have to do is to stand pat, and we can force the South Carolina Legislature to meet in extra session ! and allow us to come back on our i own terms." A private letter from New York make this statement: "Most of the I big stock insurance companies are owned in New England, and most of their business is done in the South and West. New England people a? q rnlo rlo nnf insure in their own stock companies, but in their mutual companies because they are cheaper." There is.a printed circular from a I prominent South Carolinian being circulated among: New York bank: ers, urging: co-operation with the insurance companies against South I Carolina. One of the arguments being used with the insurance companies is that j Virginia is contemplating actior |simi!ar to that of South Carolina : and that it is necessary to make an j example of South Carolina so as tc make Virginia more careful.?

OUTSIDE AID ] NOT NEEDED. 1 BRAVE AUGUSTA DECLARES SHE CAN PROVIDE FOR VICTIMS OF THE DREADFUL FIRE. Augusta, Ga, March 24:?Though ' many tenders of financial aid from 1 outside points have been received by the authorities here.it was the sense of the meeting of citizens and central relief committee held here this morning that, as far as possible, Augusta would take care of her own destitute families. The fund which was started at a meeting held yesterday morning has already grown considerably, and the relief committee has already begun the work of looking after the needs of those who were penniless and without clothing save what they had on when the fire occurred. Augusta is greatly indebted to the , outside cities that sent aid in the way of fire equipment. The Columbia department, so far as the apparatus was concerned, *as of little use on account of the fact that the hose , would not fit the fire plugs here. The firemen, however, did valuable service. The city,through its businessmen, is determined that a bigger, better and more beautiful Augusta shall , rise from the mass of smouldering , ruins which now marks the path of , the disastrous fire of Wednesday night. The area from Green street ( LO Ifltr rivt'I liuiii uaa uccu icn vvilii , only partly standing walls and chim, neys to mark the spots where for, merly stood handsome and imposing , residences and business structures. In addition to these buildings, which included a number of the largest in the city, something like 40,000 bale3 of cotton were burned, and the contents of a great number of the build< ings went up in smoke. Many of those who stood and watched the fire , in the business section later hurried , on to their homes to find them all ablaze. They were forced to work , hurriedly to save a change of cloth, ing and a little household furniture. The streets were converted into little camps, where those who had lost I their homes and possessions jealously , guarded what little was left them in , the way of worldly belongings. While the rich of the city were ; hard hit by the flames, the poor and the negroes are in a destitute condi tion and it will be among these that t the relief committee will have most ! of its work to do. Wednesday night was one of horror and destruction. The fire, fanned by a fifty-mile gale, devoured all in its . path. The property loss will amount . high into the millions, and it will be f some time before the city will again i sec all of the burned district rebuilt, j The business men, however, are de, termined to rebuild their city, and I many of them have already under ' consideration plans for modern structures to rise where their burned > | buildings once stood. .' The fire attracted hundreds of . people from all parts of Georgia and i South Carolina. They came on the trains and in automobiles to view I the scene of the ruins. They drove ; through the section of thecity where (' lay the smouldering ruins of forty t city blocks. The fire lasted from i about 6 o'clock in the evening until , shortly after#? o'clock in the morn ing. 1 Three companies of militia were ordered out to prevent looting and i did good work. The chimneys left standing and the tottering walls in many sections ' of the city were dynamited during this morning. Hank Foolishness. . You occasionally see it stated that colds do not result from cold weather. That is rank foolishness. Were j it true colds would be as prevalent j in midsummer as in midwinter, i The microbe that causes colds flourj ishes in damp, cold weather.
