A HOUSE TO HOUSE
HUNT IS NOW MADE,
In Search of Property Not Returned
For Taxes.
AND RESULTS ARE EXCELLENT
Many Citizens Refuse to Return Prop
erty and Household Effects, and
Council Adopts This Measure as
The Best to Reach Them.

Should special police officer call at
your home this week, or next, and take
a casual inventory of Your furniture
and effects, you need not be surprised.
You will not be the 'only pebble" in
this respect, for several hundred 9TH
ers will also be called upon.
The officer is upon a peaceful mis-
sion, and only wants to know if your
property has been returned for taxes.
Quite probably you failed to do it.
Nor are you alone in this respect, as
several hundred citizens have negli"
gently failed to give in their properly,
either real or personal, henc, the
necessity for the plan just adopted.
AS evidence of the beneficial results
of this house to house inspection it
may be stated that Officer Feagin, in
one afternoon recently, found forty
residents who had made no returns
whatever, several of whom owned city
lots while all owned furniture subject
to taxation.
And each of the forty will be made
to "come across promptly.
All enjoy the benefits and privileges
paid for by other citizens, and must
help to carry the burden.
The council proposes to prosecute
this work until every house IN Ameri-
Gus, where property has not been tax
ed, is visited and an inventory made OF
furniture and effects. If man Will
not do the right thing and make his
own returns, the task will be perform
ed for HIM.
1t is expected that $50, if not
more, WILL be added to property values
as the result of this house to house
canvass, which would mean $3.50 ad
ditional in the treasury.

GREAT THE LOSS BY
BIG FIRE IN ALBANY.
Cotton Warehouse and Thousands
Bales Burned.
AMER1CUs SENDS ENGINE DOWN
Muse Warehouse Containing Nearly
5000 Bales CtotOn Totally Destroy
ed Yesterday Burning Cotton
Thrown In River.

A most destructive fire, resulting In
the loss OF large warehouse together
with 1000 or $500 bales of cotton,
ragged in Albany for eighteen hours
yesterday and even at late hour last
night was still burning, though under
control.
1t was the worst fire Albany has had
in q number of years.
At one time it seemed that help
would be needed and Americus was
called upon for an engine AID crew.
Quick and willing response was made.
The fire originated in the Muse
warehouse, located near the river, and
while it was confined within the walls
of the building the entire stock of cot
ton was either burned or greatly dam
aged by fire and water together.
Hundreds of bales were tumbled into
Flint river and, like miniature ships
afame, foated away.
The local department fought the
flames calamity from II o'clock Friday
night until late last night, keeping
six streams of water playing thereon.
About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the machinery at the reservoir broke,
and it was then that the mayor wired
Americus for help. Mayor Fielder or
dered steamer and crew to Albany by
special train over the Central.
Before the train left, however,
another telegram countermanded the
first, the machinery at the pumping
station having been repaired.
The extent of the loss is not known
yet, but will probably reach $75, 900 If
the extent of the fire was as great as
reported. The Muse warehouse was
one of the largest in Albany and car
ried large stock of cotton.
Vienna, Dooly county, also had a
destructive fire Friday, warehouse
and some 800 bales cotton burning.
