Hickory Inn and Furnishings Go Up in Flames Monday Morning. 1 Several Persons Injured in Escap ing. • $15,000 Insurance. It was a fearful experience through which the fourteen guests at the Inn passed Mon day morning, Feb. 25th, as well . as the servants, the waitresses, t and all who occupied the doomed r building. It would seem that the first alarm came from the outside about 5:30 a. m. The fire originated, it is supposed in the cloak-room, occupied by the bell boy. When discovered, it I had gained so rapidly that all es - cape byway of the lower floors ; was cut off. They were a mass t of seething flames/ whose roar ing sounded far out ever the town. Panic seized upon many of the inmates —dread of that most fearful of all deaths—that by the flames. They flung them selves from windows and balco nies, seeking to die by the fall if they could not escape. Those who kept their presence of mind ] and waited until the firemen could raise the ladders escaped uninjured. Following is the lis of injured, no life being lost at the time: J. E. Montague, manager, dan gerously injured from blow to spine, He fell from'second floor upon his tack on the cemented path. ; | A. D. Stanford, of Richmond serious iy injured about the back, jumped from second flo6r. Simon H. Bodpnhoimer.of New York, jumped from second floor, leg broken, other injuries, doing well. Mr. R. N.Normant, Richmond, jumped from balcony, knee in- j ured, ankle spHuned, other in jures, taken home by friends. Mrs. P. T. Fennell, Mortimer, suffering from inhaling smoke and shock. Mr. Chas. E. Piatt, of Char lotte, jumped from the third story of the building and escap ed unhurt, more than a few scratches on his face slight sprains in back. Mr. A. G, Spangler, Rryan, Ohio, bruised back. Mr. W. A. Stanford, Roches ter, N. Y., slightly bruised. ' The accounts given by those who had the narrowest escapes are best told in their own words, i Said F. S. Holt, of New York: | "I was awakened by the cries J outside. I flung open my door, and was almost stifled by the smoke which filled the corridor. Shutting it, I threw on some clothing, tnought a moment,- caught up my grip, and started out to find the stairway leading to the second floor., the corridor, was dark and I had to grope my way through the smoke, Found a door, which led to a cloak room. Coming out, I found an old gentleman, who was running • around in a panic. I told him to catch hold of me, I was strdfig and we would get out together. I found the stairway, got down ■! to the second floor, but all below 1 was a seething mass of flames. ■ I found my way through, the I smoke and dodging flames to j the balcony. The firemen sent • up a ladder, and my old gentle ' man and I were saved, thanks' - to Providence. One experience j • like that is enough." E. O. Hinton, Baltimore, said:! [ "I had the corner room farthest i back on the second floor. I was j awakened by screams and cries , outside, and heard a roaring, I Opened jny door, saw that the ( "second floor stairway was al i ready in flames, aijid that aH es . cape was cut off except by the j ' i windows. Threw open the win •, ' jdow, and called for a ladder i While the firemen were' putting • it up, I dressed myself, except , It should be stated that the firemen worked like tigers, first to save life and property at the Inn, and then to prevent further j spread of the flames. God was i very good to Hickory. Had not these men been drilled and prac ticed by the recent fire, had there been any wind, even had not the sleet coated the neighboring roofs. | my cuffs and tie, in which was a smtfl diamond, also put on my overcoat, threw out my gpD. Then I saw I could never climb from the window-sill, as it was covered with glassy ice. Be sides the ladder stood to one side. I tied my coverlet and blanket, together, tied one end round the heavy head-board of my bed,and the other round my waist, so when I slipped from the sill they held me and I caught the ladder and climbed down. It was a terrible time, but I'm mighty thankful and I ought to be. Wish I could have helped somebody." M. Goldsmith, Cincinnati, Ohio: "I wifh you wOuld please get all the papers you can to say that this disaster ought to induce your Legislate!*. to pass a law making it obligatory on all hotels in your State to provide fire-es capes and other, precautions, •piere was no fire-escape at the Inn. If th&3, h?cl been, untold suffering mifcht Tiave heen pre-' vented. We poor travelling men run great risks when we stop at hotels where there are no pre cairticfa&ftf&instfire, for the peo ple save themselves, and we mastlook out for our own safe ty?' Joe Murphy, night clerk, de serves special mention of his leroism. Forgetful of self, gets the register and rushes up . through the smoke to the second • floor ( awakening the pccupants as i he passed the dt>or correspond ing to the number on register. The scenes at the fire baffle de sc'iption. As the crowd saw WHY NOT! That's the question; Why not state your desires in the Real Estate line to a Broker, ! whether you want to buy Or sell?

"Cuts the Earth to Suit Your Taste." i men waiting amid the roaring flames ft>r rescue, as they beheld them fling themselves down to death on the stones below, cries, groans, sobs, ran through the watching people, as though they suffered themselves, A report that one man had died in the burning building, added to the horror of the time. Every kind ness was shown the sufferers Mr. Montague was carried to the Marshall House, where he is ten derly cared for. - Mr. Stanford lies at the same place in great suffering. Mr. Bodenheimer was taken to the hospitable home of '■ Mr. Bourbonnais, where he was attended. The physicians and pastors of the town did their whole duty, Rev. Dr. Murphy as -sisting to carry Mr. Norment to the train in those kind, strong arms that have aided many an i. other helpless one. i • Jhe Inn cost 135,000 at first ;£pst, and, with furniture, etc., i the full loss cannot be less than ; $50,000. It was a handsome • 'bfrilding, most beautifully locat • edi and. with its green lawns i and shady trees, Was the^ town's ■ chief ornament and a source of pride to every cilfren. The peo ple of Hickory feel its destruc , tion as a personal loss. Great , sympathy is felt for Mr. 'Monta gue. He was manager, and is a ' kindly pleasant gentleman, cour , teous and agreeable to all. We ' trust he will soon be improved, and that the Inn will be rebuilt in its beauty. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Clinard, I (Jr., who roomed on the lower floor, saved some of their furni , ture, all that was gotten out of , , the building. Most of the guests i and all the waitresses lost every- ■ thing they had. These poor girls should be remembered in some 1 i way. ' Such is a brief outline of the I greatest disaster in the town's i history. May it be long before j we have such another. "Grs ndson of a Bachelor." One night recently Mr. Zeb B. Buchanan, with others, were in ' the office of Col. Thornton and in the course of the conversation a gentleman, a stranger in the city asked Mr. Buchanan: "Are you related to President Buch anan?" Zeb promptly replied: "Yes, lam his grandson." This matter passed. Next day Mr. McLeod who is from South Carolina and is Col. Thornton's stenographer and secretary asked the Colonel: "How can your friend Mr. Buch anan be the grandson of Presi dent Buchanan when he was a bachelor?" Home-made Catarrh Cure. Any one can mix right at home th« best remedy of its kind known. The name "Cyclone" is given to the fol lowing prescription, it is suppored, be cause of its promptness in driving from • rhe blood and system every vestige of catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and dread disease,no matter where located. To prepare the mixture: Get from any good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid Extraet Dandelion,* one ounce Com • pound Kargon and three ounces Com pound Syrup Sarsaparilla.

I This is % harmless, inexpensive mix ture, which has a peculiar action upon theeliminative tissues of the Kidneys, assisting them to flltnr and strain from the blood and system all catarrhal > poisons, which, if not eradicated, are absorbed by the mucous membrane, and an open sore of ■catarrh is the re sult. Prepare some and try it** as it is the ; prescription of an eminent catanrh spe cialist of natioeal -reputation. Most fortunate is the boy or , girl, the young man or the young lady who is given the opportuni ty to attend the schools and col leges of our city. Its education al advantages surpass any town [ of like size in the State. Important Trade Mark decision Lynchburg, Va., Feb. 4th, 190?. A decision of importance to all manu facturers of trade maxk goods has been awarded by Judge Pritchard in ' the United States Circuit Court of this disr ' trict. The question involved was whethej the Allen Brothers Co., pf Lynchburg, Va., has the legal fight tq use on its "Traveler" brand of plug tobacco a tag similar in size, shape, color,, and slant of lettering, but dif ferent as to wording, from that used by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., e Winston-Salem. N. C., on its Schnapps Plug Tobacco In the on motion of the plaintiff, the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., that a restraining order be issued forbidding the defendent company from urther imitating its tag, many affida vits were submitted tending to show that owing to the similarity of the tags, the "Traveler" tobacco, purchased by dealers at a lower price, was sold to uneducated chewers for ''Schnapps/ In a decree signed by Judge Pritch ard, the Allen Brothers Tobacco Com pany is enjoined from manufacturing putting up, advertising, selling, or of fering for sale plug tobacco bearing a tag identical with or like the said tag of the complainant, known as the "Schnapps" tag. According to this decision, no man . . . *i ufactur can imitate even m color, shape or style of lettering, the trade mark of another manufacturer; even though the wording be entirely differ ent. . - This is worth saving. The following simple home-made mix ture is said to relieve any form of Rheu matism or backache, also cleanse and strengthen the Kidney and Bladder,- overcomes all urinary disorder, if taken the stage ofßright's disease: Fluid Extreck Dandelion, one-half onces Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com pound Syroup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.

A well-known authority states that . these ingredients are mainly of vege table extracts and harmless to use, and can be obtained at small cost from any good prtscsption pharmacy. Those who thidk they have Kidney trouble or suffer with lame back or weak bladder at should give this pre scription a trial, as no harm can pes- - i sibely follow its use, and it is said to do wonders for some people.
