About 1915 Tuesday morning
the whistles in the neighborhood
OF the Seaboard depot attracted at
tention and after considerable
time the fire whistle at the water
and light plant a block away
joined the general alarm and the
fire department responded. and
promptly enough, after they re-
celved notime had q stream on the
fire, which was just east of the
Seaboard tracks, opposite the
compress.
The hose line had to be laid
from the plug near the water and
light plant. about Jur feet from
the fire.
The buildings burned were oc-
cuMed by negroes, but rather
substantial and valuable proper
ty With the hea AWAY tic flames
had when the fire department az
rived but little could be done ex-
cept TO protect the surrounding
property.
The fire was sufficiently near
the oil mill plant to create sons

ORGANIZATION WORK

Mr.. John d. Walker. capitalist
and banker Of Sparta, Ga, who
will be interested in the American
Trust & Banking company, now
being organized in Fitzgerald,
was a visitor to our city last week
in the interest of the above insti-
tuition. He met a number of the
leading business men Of the town
nearly all Of whom had met him
before on other occasions. While
Mr.. Walker was here, plans were
perfected whereby the new COM
pany could go right ahead with
their organization work. The sub
scription list is we'll nigh filled,
only a limited amount still re-
naming unsubscrbed. The stock
s being carefully placed among
the best citizens Of the town and
community.
Mr.. Walker was rendered the
presidency Of the new mortgage
and trust company recently Or
9anized in Atlanta. with a million
dollars capital, and his ability as
a financier fast becoming recog-
niZed.

MILK NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Causes But Few Cases of Non Pull
monary Tuberculosis.

Washington, D. c.. May B.
Milk is responsible for few cases
Of non-pulmonary tuberculosis, in
the opinion Of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Proven
ton Of Tuberculosis now in ses-
sion in this city. In a resolution
adopted last night it was declared
that apparently only small per-
centage Of such cases, especially
tuberculosis Of the lymph nodes
in children under five years old,
is due to infection by tubercule
bacilli Of bovine origin. This is
n direct opposition to the views
held by many scentSts and doctors
who have studied the disease and
it's cause The resolution. howev-
err, was adopted without opposi-
ton.
Pasteurization Of milk. but I'M

mended in the resolution.

far more than ordinary interest
to the entire church.
The present order of worship
does not, it is said, give general
satisfaction to the church, and
some changes in this direction
will doubtless be recommended to
the conference
While the conference is in SEES
sion a plan will be presented for a
great Chautauqua and assembly
for Southern Methodism. Three
sites in the western section of this
state are being discussed.
Among other questions of eX-
traordinary Importance to be de
termined by the conference will
be the ownership and control of
the Vanderbilt University by the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. The claim for the full
and complete rights of the church
in the university are being sup
ported by Bishop R. E, Ross, as
sisted by DR.. H. NJ. DuBose. The
opposing view is maintained by
DR.. J. II. Kirkland and DR.. G. b.
Winton, both Of whom are mem
bers Of the Vanderbilt board of
trustees, the former being chan
celor of the university.

GOVERNMENT
AFTER Blind TIGERS
INSTRUCTIONS SENT TO ALL
COLLECTORS.
Order Issued in November, Which
Has Heretofore Been Dead-Let-
ter Law, Will Now Be Actively
Enforced.

The government. through the.
internal revenue department. is
going to help Georgia and other
dry states enforce prohibition. 1t
is probably going to do this invoE-
unfairly. 1t has already started
about it.
Directions from the department
at Washington have been receiv
ed here by Internal Revenue Col
lectOr Ruckcr that full informa-
ton must be given him by every
one who pays revenue license.
This t information viii be pu
where any officer can see it. Sim
all revenue collectors.
The result will be that everyone
who gets revenue license can be
known to the state officers.
There are a good many "blind
tigers" now that pay revenue IL
cense to the government and
dodge the state. They are afraid
OF the government officials and
willing to take chance with the
state officers.
Hereafter the man who gets
revenue license must, within y
month, fill out government
blank, known as form 2, in which
he will give his name and his bus
mess.
This information will then be
put on record known as Record
~, which is open to everyone.
An order was issued by the rev
enuc department in November.
which said:
For failure to make the re-
turn within the time prescribed
the commissioner of internal rev
enue is required by law to assess
a penalty Of so per cent of the
amount of the tax; and for max
ing false return 100 per cent of
the amount Of the tax"
Directions have just been re-
ceived by the collector here and
arc being received by revenue col
Iectors throughout the United
States that this order must be en-
forced

ALCOHOL FROM
The SAGEBRUSH

Recently the Silver Stal published
an article on utilizing sagebrush by
distillation. The Subject will interest
every Nevadan, some more than 9TH
ers. If it only solved the question of
light, heat and power, by cutting the
expense OF those necessities more
than hall Ia two, IT would go Il long
way towards lifting Nevada from a
pitiable dependency upon the oil trust
and railroads. 1t is possible that be-
fore another winter a great part of
Nevada need not import one gallon of
oil OF gasoline or a ton of coal. De-
natured alcohol to take their place,
"made in Nevada" largely out of
useless waste.
A Winnemucca citizen, we'll up in
science, and quick to grasp a good
idea, has been carefully investigating
the manufacture of denatured alcohol
from raw materials in Nevada and
quick-growing plants. The industry
while affecting every family and ev-
cry business in the state, cannot be-
come a monopoly or trust, for q few
families can combine and own still
or even one family can own small
still, with no governmental supervis
ion, and at odd times manufacture al
cohol for lighting, cooking and heat
ing at small cost. If there should bt
surplus, it will readily sell at gooC
prices. If on the ranch or in towr
pumping of water is desirable, alec
hol is better fuel than oil or gaso
line, and costs to manufacture abou
one-fourth what it costs to buy oil Of
gasoline. In domestic use it is well t
know that it has few OF the lurking
dangers of oil and gasoline. If from
leaky pipe or otherwise a fir
should occur, water will instantly eX
tinguish it, while water spreads AM
adds to the combustion of oil an,
gasoline.
In heating it is superior to al
gases, as follows:
