Savannah, Ga., Feb. 2.?Damage estimated at $1,500,000 resulted early today from a fire of unknown origin, which swept the Savannah river front for two blocks, destroying the wharves of the Merchants' and Miners transportation Company, several warehouses and business structures and the Planters' Rice Mill. The blaze was discovered shortly ~ r*. t -?_i i- it-._ s ? unci x u ciock. tins morning in a shed on the western end of the wharves. All the available fire apparatus in the city responded to the general alarm and every effort was made to check the conflagration, with the assistance of fire tugs in the river. The flames spread from the Ogechee Canal east to within 160 feet of Broad street, threatening^ many business structures and shipping. After fighting the flames for four hours, the fire was finally got-, ten under control without loss of life. Several firemen were slightly injured, but none seriously. The greatest loss was sustained by the Central of Georgia Railway Company, owners of the Merchants' and Miners' terminals and the Merchants' and Miners' freight which was stored in the warehouses. The loss to this company is estimated'at $600,000, covered by insurance. The Ameriman Steel & Wire Co.*f warehouses on either side of the en- < trance to the Merchants* and Miners' docks were partially destroyed with a damage estimated at between $50, 000 and $75,000, also covered by insurance. Estimates place the loss of the Planters' Rice Mill property at $20,000. The building was not insured but the machinery was protected. Other losses include Conklin Tin Plate and Metal Co., $20,000; Savannah Supply Company, $15,000; Cr&np & Co., Pipe Company, $25,000; Quaker City Flour Mills, $4,000. Warehouses and business structures of several other firms also were damaged or destroyed, but the loss has not been definitely determined. Much of the freight burned had only been discharged a few hour* previous to the breaking out of the conflagration. Efforts of Agent Erekine of the Merchants' and Miners' Company to ascertain the origin of the fire have been fruitless.

Whitney of the Merchants' and Miners' Company, after a consultation here today with W. A.

When an article is sold a druggist who is willing to give it his personal guarantee, it's a mighty strong proof of real merit. That's exactly the case with Dodson's Liver Tone. It is a pleasanttasting, vegetable remedy for a slow and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's Liver Tone came on the market the sale of calomel has gone 'way down. The reason is simply this: Dodson's Liver Tone is safe and harmless and guaranteed to be satisfactory?Calomel is often uncertain, sometimes dangerous, and no druggist wants to guarantee that it won't knock you out of a day's work and maybe send you to bed.

Lee was born on a plantation near the Potomac river, on January 19th, 1807. Since the year 1642 the Lees, who came from England, had been living in Virginia. In colonial times and during the war for Independence, many members of the Lee family were among the foremost leaders of 'the people. fRobert Edward's father was "Light;Horse Harry" Lee, a famous horseman who helped Washington to fight the British in New Jersey, and rode side by side with Sumter and Marion in the Carolinas. When Robert was four years old, the family left the plantation and went to live in the town of Alexandria, near the city of Washington. Seven years later (1818) Robert's father died. The boy of eleven years was thus left to take care of his sick motner. He was always on time at school and always ready for the recitation. In his manner he was quiet, and was always respectful to his teacher. Everything that he undertook was finished in the neatest and best way. Even the figures which he made on His slate, in the study of mathematics, were drawn in such a careful manner that they looked as if they had been printed. At twelve o'clock every school day hcjhurried home to his mother. Kfa 1995 Roberto, entered the Miliary Academy, at West Point. He vfai.ed to be a soldier like his father. During the four years of his life as a student in that school, young Robert did not recieve a single demerit. He was not guilty of any bad habit and he never spoke any word that a Christian nor a gentleman should not speak. At the end of the course he was given the second highest honors in his class. He hurried home to tell his mother that he had been appoint ea seconu lieutenant ol engineers in te United States army. He was married to Mary Randolph Curtis, at Arlington, in 1831, by an Episcopal minister. He fought in the Mexican war, and was made colonel on account of his bravery. After this he went to West Point Military Academy where he taught very successfully for three years. He chose to fight for his country rather than teach young soldiers, therefore he was sent to the Second Regiment to punish some cruel Indians in Texas. He passed away in 1870. A. W. Todd, of Charleston, who drew the plans for a million dollar state house, is asking the legislature to pay for them?the sum of $12,000. A kicker seldom makes good in a business of his own.
