FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT SHOWS
LOSSES FROM FIRE ALMOST Nil
Only Fifty Alarms Sent in During Last Year. With Total Loss to Property Of Approx
lae $56O-RecO Unsurpassed Probably By That Of Any City Sim
liar Size The SaGES Be Made Secure Reduced Fire Insurance

Fire losses in the city of Americus
during the year 1911 were practically
nothing, as compared with those ot
the large cities, as the report for thai
time, which has pust been issued
shows very clearly
In the report it is seen that the To-
cal fire department was called upon to
answer only 50 alarms during the en-
tire year just closed. Loss by fire in
these instances is estimated at ST.
7S1 to buildings and $2,379 to the con-
tents of buildings, making total fire
loss during the year of $3.50
The report itself is the most elo-
quent argument obtainable in favor of
reduced insurance rates for the city,
and this fact is stressed by Alderman
J. S. Bolton, chairman of the fire
committee of council, which has been
instructed by that body to begin a
for the purpose of securing
reduced fire insurance rates here.

and dozens of like articles might have
been taken, but Mr.. Williams could
miss nothing from his large stock of
hardware.
At the Hamilton store window op-
ening upon the rear alley was smash
ed, but the burglars did not gain ad-
mission, probably having been fright
ened away.
At the store of Mr.. c. NJ. Williams
on Cotton avenue, entrance was effect
ed from the rear. the thieves crawling
in above a window. They opened the
cash drawer there, also, but took moth
ing from the stock of goods, so far as
Mr. Williams could ascertain. Evi-
IDENTIFY the same burglar did both
jobs.
Leaving the Williams store by the
Cotton avenue entrance the thieves
left the front door standing wide open
as it was found yesterday morning.

At the Williams hardware store the
back doors were pried open with an

.SHRINERS Will
SOON JOURNEY

Many Initiates Will Tread
Burning Sands

Americus Shriners, members af .Ale9
Temple, will go in force to Fitzgerald,
on Wednesday, February 28, at which
time number of initiates will be
tread the burning sands. AS the order
here is large and representative, the
delegation to Fitzgerald will be a ty-
pical one.
From Savannah, the headquarters OF
Alec Temple, there will also be large
number of mobiles to attend the meet
ing at Fitzgerald The meeting at
Fitzgerald is but an indication of the
growth of the order in this section Of
the state, where it is gaining ground
rapidly.
While a definite number cannot be
fixed upon now, it is supposed that
probably as many as score of Shrin-
ers will attend the meeting from
Americus. AS there should be fully as
many attend from Savannah, Fitzger-
aid will be in the hands of the Shrin-
ers during the session that is to be
held here.

new MACHINERY
NOW INSTALLED
At THE STATION
IT WILL Be TESTED soon
Will Aid in Finishing Improve
ment Work

Installation of the. new machinery a
the pumping station is practically com
plted, and both the new pump an(
boiler will soon be ready for active
use
The connections necessary to test
the new pump have not yet been made
When these shall have been COM
pleted, the final delivery if this ma
chinery to the city will soon follow.
The new boiler has practically been in
stalled, the brick foundation and COW
ering used for it having meen near
ly completed.
The work on the two improvements,
the pump and the boiler, was finished
at nearly the same time, though the
completion of the pump came just a
short time before that of the boiler.
The need of the new boiler, while it is
not imperative, is necessary for the
best service at the station, as the
present boiler is being worked at its
highest pressure now all the time.
The new boiler has abundant capacity
to supply all the power needed at the
station without aid from other sources
Engineer Stevens is especially anX-
ious to get the new boiler in use, as it
will give him sufficient power to finish
the drilling of the new well. The
present boiler is not large enough for
this purpose, so that the need of the
new boiler is great. not only for the
purpose of furnishing all the power
needed for pumping purposes, but also
for the completion of the works of i'm
provement that are now in progress al
the station.

BEATEN
IN ALBANY GAME
DOWRGd By Close Score Of
10 to Z

What will likely prove to be the last
basket ball game of the season in the
way of a matchgamewaswonby t he
way Of match game was won by Al
bany High School five Monday night
on the Albany court, though the game
was hotly contested from start TO
finish.
The close score of the game shows
in itself that it was by no means a
walk away for the winners, so that IT
was no disgrace in the least for the To-
Gals to get the small end of the
score under the circumstances. AS a
matter of fact, the locals were at the
end of their program, while the Albany
team has just begun to get into prac-
tice. The players themselves attribute
their defeat to the fact that Referee
Redfearns decisions were partial to
the Albany team.
The lineup of the locals was as fol-
lows: Griffin, center; McMath, guard :
Monahan, guard; Gatewood, forward
Gartner forward. This was about the
strongest lineup the High School
could have put into the game, so tha
there was no kick coming in this par
ticular Every man played in goo,
form. also, but the fact that the team
had been practically disbanded tell
the. story as well as anything else.

AVIATOR FOWLER MAY COME TO
AMERICUS TO GIVE EXHIBITION
RhG Fowler Noted Aviator May Come AmeiS Give Exhibition FIyq
His Famous Machine Which He Flew From Pacific aDtC-BO of Trade
Has Taken Up Matter Secure Financial Encouragement TO Obtain Exhibition

Americus may soon have the pleas
rra of witnessing one of the mos;
noted ayiators of the world in some
Characteristic flights here.
Tbo matter of securing Fowler to
come to Americus later, probably in
March. was taken up at the special
meeting of the Board of Trade last
night 1t was agreed that an effort
should be made to raise the necessary
amount $500, to secure the aviator.
and with this end in view committee
will aid Mr. Charles l.. Young, Fow-
lers manager, to raise the amount
needed to secure the exhibition.
In case the exhibition is secured it
will be used as a big advertisement for
the city, and every effort will be
made to bring the largest number of
Deople from this section to witness the
fihts. The plan suggested is to give
the exhibitions free, the merchants and
business men of the city raising the
amount needed in order to give an
impetus to trade by widely advertising
the meet and by bringing a large
crowd to the city at that time.
1t will be recalled that a campaign
was put in progress here last fall very
successfully with the end in view of
bringing Aviator Ely from the Macon
fair for several flights here. Several
subscriptions had been made to the
fund needed when Ely fell from his
bi-plane after nearly completing a
successful fight and was killed. 1t is
believed that if enthusiasm in the mat
ter can again be aroused that the eX-
hibition will be secured for Americus
Charles L. Young, manager of Rob-
ert G. Fowler, the world-famed aviator,
that created such a sensation when he
landed in Jacksonville, Fla, on the
eighth of February, was in the city
Tuesday and conferred with several
local business men relative to having
Fowler come here about the second of
March The idea is to have the meet
free to every one concerned, that is
tn business men are to make up the
guarantee necessary to bring Fowler
here, then make one big gala day of it
and charge no admission.
Manager Young left for Waycross
on the Seminole Limited last night to
complete arrangements there for Fow-
Ter to give an exhibition in that city on
the 2Sth of this month. From Wav-
cross he is expected to come here. Mr..
Young says that he will return here
from Waycross on Thursday morning
and remain until all arrangements

HE IS PLEASED
WITH AMERICUS
Mr. Porter is 10 Make His
Home Here

Mr.. George Porter, a we'll known
contractor and builder of Atlanta, is
in the city and declares his intention
OF making Americus his home.
He had heard much of the city, he
states, and was so satisfied that he
would be pleased with a residence and
business here that he shipped some of
his effects in advance, anticipating no
difficulty in finding home. But right
there Mr.. Porter struck proposition.
for after making inquiry here he
found not vacant dwelling availa-
BILE.
However, he will buy property and
build residence as soon as possible,
and to that end has already submitted
a price for desirable lot here.
Mr.. Porter recognizes the need OF
more dwelling houses in Americus,
and expressed great surprise that in
vestors do not build more of them. He
is delighted with Anericus, and says
that he will undoubtedly remain here
permanently, as it is a fine field for his
line of business.

Robert G. Fowler the famous aviator
has just completed one of the most
dangerous trips ever attempted by an
aviator in the winter time. He has had
all the bad weather to contend with
and has made good his promise to fly
from the Pacific to the Atlantic
Fowler's finish to the coast was
made last Thursday, when he flew
from Jacksonville to Pablo Beach and
the machine was landed in the water
of the Atlantic, creating quite sensa-
ton. When he left Jacksonville he
was followed by newspaper men, pho
tographers and moving picture men,
who had to go some to keep up with
him, those who went by train being
left at the post, as Fowler passed them
when about half way to the beach. 1t
will be remembered that Fowler flew
50 miles in 80 minutes from Live Oak
to Jacksonville on the Sth of Febru-
airy, and was met by Aviators Max Lii
lis and Harold Kantner in a mono
plane They escorted him to the Mon
Grief Park race track, where he was
given a great reception, in fact, it is
said the crowds were most enthusias-
tic when they saw him coming in at
an altitude of $500 feet. The rousing
welcome given him by the citizens of
Jacksonville continued to his hotel, ;
the Seminole, and until almost mid
night. When Fowler arrived he was
almost frozen he having been in the
air for an hour and a half. Americus
is to be congratulated in being able
to have the chance to get Fowler to
come here.
