Baltimore, Md, Feb. With two

The fire broke out in the Bennett

spectacular fire been witnessed in this
city.
Fully 100000 people packed the
roofs fthe giant skyscrapers
and other buildings to witness the
thick red glow slowly curl itself into
the air and belch forth with renewed
yigor as the minutes few by.
No estimate of the loss can be had
at this time, but it will be heavy. Sew

neighborhood. Some of the tenants
had narrow escapes and other occu-
pants of dwellings, mostly foreign
ers, became wildly panic stricken
and removed their household effects
pellmell out of danger.

BUYSO OUT PINKSTON co.
NEW FIRM Is FORMED
WarIiCk Bros. Company the
Corporation.
Old House of Years
Standing Gives Place
to New Firm.

The Pinkston Co., which TO ra long
number of years has ranked among
the leading mercantile enterprises of
Americus with that veteran merchant
and genial gentleman, Mr. James A
Pinkston at the helm, ceased to exist
yesterday and as such has passed into
other hands.
Warlick Bros, Company is the new
Richmond in the field, having pur-
chased the Pinkston interests and
changed the large business into cor
poration.
The transfer was made yesterday
and already the new management,
Messrs. S. E. Warlick and W. P. War
lick, are in charge of affairs.
The business, one of the largest dry
goods establishments in south Geor-
gia, will be continued at the same
stand. The new company will be duly
incorporated, and there will be no in
terruption of business even for day
under new conditions.
While Mr. Pinkston retires there
from he is still interested as a stock
holder in the new corporation and
feels fully identified Herewith. Other
stockholders, besides the Messrs. War
lick, are residents of Macon, BaIti-
more, New York and Philadelphia.
With abundant capital, the business
will be very largely increased and
the house of Warlick Bros, Company
will be among the leading establish
ments in the state
The new company will conduct two
large stores here under the same man
agement; the Pinkston Co, store and
that of Mr.. VIII P Warlick in the
Planters Bank building. Mr.. Sam E.
Warlick will be in charge of the La
mar street store and Mr.. w. P. War
lick in charge of the other, as hereto
fore.
Both these young men have long
been identified with the mercantile in
terests of Americus, and very success
fully
For many years past Mr.. Warlick
has been closely identified with the
Pinkston Co., as partner therein, and
much of the great success. of the old
company has been due to his personal
popularity and business ability.
In the capacity of buyer he has long
been closely in touch with manufac-
turing establishments and wholesale
house of the east with whom the old
firm has dealt in past years, while in
the local field he is esteemed as one
of the foremost business young men
of the state.
The Messrs. Warlick will, by unit
ed effort, build up a splendid busi-
ness for the new corporation.
Mr., Pinkston will shortly engage in
some other business here which will
be less confning and allow him some
relaxation after a strenuous business
career of nineteen years in Americus.
That he is to remain here is a source
of much qualification to his thousands
of friends.
Further announcement of the plans
of the new corporation, Warlick Bros.
Company, will be given the public
within a day or two

BANKS ALL SEEM TO
BE IN GOOD SHAPE
Not a National Institution
on the BAD List.

New York, Feb. 1.-The National
City Bank of New York, in it's monthly
circular says:
There is practically not a national
bank in all the United States at the
present time whose condition is re-
garded as unsatisfactory. This is the
important declaration which was made
by the comptroller of the currency in
a recent informal address to a group
of Treasury officials and bankers. 1t
is all the more important, in view of
the fact that it was also declared that
a year ago there were several hun
dred banks, out of the 1000 associa-
tions doing business under national
charters, which were regarded, and
had for many years been considered
by the officials of the comptroller's Of
fee, as either unsound or poorly man
aged
"It formerly was the practice of the
comptroller's office to segregate
banks of this class from those which
required no special or unusual SUPER
vision. Efforts made fromtime to
time to better the condition of these
unsatisfactory institutions were sue
cessful in particular instances, but on
the whole the list of the so-called bad
banks was never materially reduced
in numbers until the Inauguration of
a series of administrative reforms a
little over a year ago.
AS the result Of the successful
working out fthe various reform
measure which have been a feature of
the administration of the comptroller's
office since September, 1908, COM
plete rehabilitation of the unsound
and poorly managed banks has been
effected. BY persistent pressure from
the comptroller's office, and with the
cooperation of bank officers and di-
rectors, the status of these banks has
been so improved that there is not
now any bank on the bad list. This
is a noteworthy achievement and a
most remarkable one to have been
attained in so short time. 1t has
immeasurably benefited the general
banking situation.

the musical atmosphere of the plot in
perfect accord with the finished in
terpretations of the characters.

day morning at an early hour at his
beautiful country home west of AM

edly, and was a shock to his family
and many friends.

ings, his death will prove a loss to the
community in which he has so long
resided. He was native of this sec
tion and nearly all of the sixty years
of his useful career were passed here
in Sumter
His life was devoted to agricultural
pursuits and in this direction, as in
others, he achieved success. For sew
eral years he was county commission
er of Sumter, and also chairman of
the board of trustees of the Third
district Agricultural College here.
But it is in the home circle as hus-
oand and father, and in the Baptist
church at Friendship, which he loved
so well, that Mr.. Daniel will be miss
ed most
For a long number of years Mr..
Daniel as been a consistent member
of that church, and the funeral serv-
ices, conducted Jointly by Rev. R. L.
