den of the King: County Penitentiary,
and former leader of one Of the as
sembly districts included in McCar
ren's senatorial district preferred the
charges against the senator and The
Kings county committee
II l. alleged that McCarren knitted
the head of the ticket aud urged his
followers to desert him. The petition
for McCarren's investigation declared
among other things, that MeCaTen
openly advocated the election of nomi-
nees of the Republican party and used
the election machinery and Kings
county committee to accomplish the
defeat Of the regular Democratic can
didata for governor
1t was asserted that the action OF
McCarren and the Kings county com
mittee destroyed tine Democratic or
ganizat!on of the county and made
that organization simply an annex or
ally of the Republican organization.
The petition urges that not only
McCarren but all other members o'
the committee from Kings county be

TO Hearst regard him as a bolter
not myself, and the Kings county or
ganization also regarded him as

McCarren concluded by Offering a
resolution providing that the investi
cation be extended to all counties OF
the state where Hurst ran behind his
ticket The amendment was lost and
then the motion to investigate the
Kings county organization was car
ried.

The committee also took steps to
defend any action that may be taken
by the Republicans to overthrow the
plurality which seems to exist in favor
Of the Democratic candidates from

cHARRED BODIES OF CHILDREN
Remove d from Ashes aud Carried to
Savannah.

MIR. Neon Buchanan returned to
Americas yesterday from Fort Valley,
where he accompanied Mrs. Buchanan
the day before, the burning of her par
ents' home, together with the crema-
ton of two grandchildren of Mr.. and
Mrs. W, G.. Jordan, having called
them there.
It was a most heart rending scene;
the burned home and the charred
bodies of the children.
Mr., and Mrs, r. w. Wimbish of
Savannah, parents of the dead children,
arrived in Fort Valley yesterday to
convey home the remains of their loved
ones, who left them only the day be-
fore.
Miss Annie May Wimbish was six
teen years age, and just graduated
from the Savannah public schools. Her
little brother, Robert, was eight. They
came from Savannah Tuesday to visit
their grandparents. Mr.. and Mrs, Jor-
dan, at Fort Valley.
Within twenty-four hours they had
been burned to death.
The young girl and her brother oc-
cupied room next to their grandpar-
ents. The home burned so rapidly
that escape for them was impossible,
1t is said their young faces were seen
several times at the window while the
hames leaped all around them.
Mrs. Jordan was carried from the
burning building, nearly suffJcated,
while Mr.. Jordan barely escaped as
we'll. Tue fire occurred early in the
nigh, about 10 o'clock, and while
every effort was made by the fremen
to check the flames it was really to no
purpose.
The origin of the fire is still g mys-
terry, and may have been the result of a
stroke of lightning.

REAL ESTATE BOOM GENERAL
Americas is Still Keeping Pace With
Other Cities.

There is no "boom" in Americus real
estate or fictitious values, the rapid
enhancement in values here in recent
years being upon a firm and healthy
BASH, Activity in real estate seems to
be confined to no particular section OF
the country. Nearly every Southern
city is having a real estate boom, and
the same is true of other sections. The
trouble about real estate booms is that
they too often run away with them
selves. More than one Southern city
had disastrous experience during the
boom days Of the eighties. 1t is to be
hoped that there will be no repetition
of that experierc CO. We do not believe
there will be. There are more people
seeking homes now than there were
thep there is more genuine and le.
Ultimate demand, and more substantial
reasons for expecting real expansion
and permanent growth. But there is
always the danger Of OVERRIDING the
thing to be guarded against. There
can be no growth of a city by dollhouse
methods, and when the legitimate is
exceeded reaction inevitably follows.

GREAT OCCASION IN WEBSTER
Thousands Attend the Monster Cue
Friday

fiOaY.
Friday was Webster couuty's day of
days, an occasion long antIc ;pated with
keenest pleasure by her good people
and their hosts of friends across the
borders, and never was su n event en-.
ioYed in fuller degree by the thousands
there assembled.
Webster had prepared for mighty
host, nor was she disappointed in the
M mber Of her guests.
With her own good people came
many from Sumter, Lee, Stewart and
probably other countlee, and when all
had assembled the multitude was esti-
mated at fully 5000.
The occasion was in the nature of a
great county reunion of friends and
not political barbecue, as erroneouss
ly supposed. Some of the politicians
were present, but they refrained from
making speeches and mingled hand,
shakingly with the crowd.
Hon E. B. Lewis and Hon, D. M.
Hughes were prominent among those
attending, though probably thinking
more of cue than of congress
When dinner was amour ced the
spread was one calculated to charm
an epicure. Twenty barbeoued pigs
formed the piece de resistance, to say
nothing of enormous quantities OF
chicken pies, fried chicken and long
list of other good things.
