MET DEATH IN FLAMES:
ALL ALONE SHE DIED
Miss hOgue. Aged Woman,
is Burned to Death.
Found in Her Room at
Early Hour ON Mon
day Morning.

Death in the flames was the terrible
fate of Miss Babe Hogue, an aged lady
residing in East Americus, at O'Clock
yesterday morning, life being extinct
when other occupants of the house, at
tracted by her groans, reached the
room, but too late to render any as
sistance.
Miss Hogue was sitting in front of
the open fireplace, her. chair and cloth
ing enveloped in fire.
Mr.. John Oliver. with whose family
she resided, was first to view the
shocking scene and call other mem
bers of the household to come to Miss
Hogue's rescue.
But it was too late, as life was about
extinct and the agony endured by the
poor lady was ended. The fire was
extinguished and physician summon
ed, but the victim of the flames was al
ready beyond human aid or endeavor
Just how the fire was communicated
to her clothing is a matter Of surmise
only
Miss Hogue, who was well advanced
in years and feeble as well, oftimes sat
late at night by her fire, and the sup
position is that her dress caught from
the open CRATE and, enveloped by the
flames, she was too weak or too much
frightened to call for help.
She was about 55 years of age and
had long resided in Americus The.
funeral took place from her home
Monday afternoon.

COUNTY MAP is
NOW ASSURED.
Surveyors Here Ready TO
Enter the Field.
Viii Be Ready For De-
livery In About
Four Months.

Sumter county is finally to have
map, one that will give the full de-
tails of the county and cover the re-
quirements of all who are interested in
the business affairs or the agriculture
or the development in anyway of the
county.
Messrs. R. E. L. Freeman and Thom-
as H, Greaney, representing the Hud-
gins Company, map publishers of At
lanta, arrived yesterday and will begin
work on the proposed map at once.
A preliminary canvass is being made
for subscriptions to the map. This
will take but two or three days. There
is hardly doubt but that sufficient
number will be disposed of. The two
surveyors came prepared to start
without any unnecessary delay on the
field work.
The map will be on a sufficiently
large scale to show every feature of
the country distinctly. The militia
districts, the school districts, the rail-
roads, the streams, the public roads,
the rural free delivery mail routes, the
churches, school houses, bridges, the
principal plantations, all of these will
be displayed upon the map. Once it is.
completed it will be possible to deter
mine the exact location of every resi-
dence and plantation in the county.
The map will be of great value to
citizens generally. It's need has long
been felt and the fact that in three or
four months one will be in readiness
for delivery to subscribers is agreeable
news to hundreds of business men,
planters and others.
1t is not unlikely that this company
will also make a proposition to the
City Council to prepare new city map
in cooperation with the city engineer.
