meeting, one from Fitzgerald and one
from Griffin. The Fitzgerald selection
met general approval There were
other invitations in hand, but only
these two were actually extended.

the visiting fire chiefs and representa-

in waiting at the city hall and were
whisked away upon ride to Ander-
sonville, the big fire truck, with pas
sengers aboard, leading the van.
The auto truck easily kept the pace
of the lighter machines, being driven
at times at the rate of sixty miles an
hour The firemen greatly enjoyed ,ne
stay at Andersonville national cem-
etery. which few of them had ever
visited. Returning to the city at noon
the automobiles proceeded to the Coun-
try club for the real event of the day

Long tables had been spread upon

PRISONERS In THE JAIL

Three white men, an unusual num-

adjoining quarters in the Sumter
county Jail, and unless bail is forth
coming the trio will probably remain
there until the next term of court.
John Gardner, the elder of the trio.
is held upon the charge of attempted
assault upon a young woman here.
Another who gives his mans as
Jones, and Taylor county as his home
is held for the alleged theft of a
horse and buggy from Loving's stables
here few days since, while the third
is charged with having taken an auto
mobile from Turpin's stable a few
nights since and going upon a joy ride,
which act constitutes a serious mis-
