EATONTONPLANS
TOREBU|LDITS
BURNED AREA
Sl25,OOO Fire Wipes Out Biggest
Stores in Progressive
Georgia Town.

EATONTON. oct. l0.-With five OF
the biggest business houses in this
city in ashes, Eatonton to-day is
planning TO rebuild the structures that
were swept away in the most disas-
trous fire ever experienced here.
The blaze, which started at l O'Clock
this morning and continued until )
o'clock, entailed loss of 1925, 600, less
than half of which was covered by
insurance.
The stores burned were Shose OF
Stubbs. jeweler; Harry Jamulowslly,
dry goods; Oscar Jarmulowsky. dry
goods, and the Hearn 4 Green Hard
ware Company, the largest concern OF
the kind in this section.
Adjacent buildings at either end of
the fire district were badly damaged
by water
The fire started in the Stubbs store,
apparently in the ceiling When dis
covered by Night Watchman Avrett
the interior of the building was in
flames. He gave an immediate alarm
and the volunteer fire department and
citizens responded.
Before lines of hose were laid and
water turned on the blaze it had got
ten beyond control and swept in all
directions until it had wiped out the
five stores. 1t was 4 o'clock before
the flames were conquered and an
hour later before they were eXtin-
guished.
When the fire was at its height
about o'clock. an appeal was made
to Macon for assistance and the Ma
con fire department agreed to send an
auto fire truck if special train could
be obtained
The train was ordered by railroad
officials, but before 1t could be made
up and loaded with the truck the fire
had been checked and Macon was no.
titled that aid was unnecessary.

FRANK CHEERFUL
IN DATE ONCE
SET FOR END
Prisoner Helps Lawyers in Fight
for New TriaI-0orsey
Works Hard.

CndistCrbed by the thought that if
his sentence had not been stayed by
the appeal of his attorneys for new
trial he would some time during the
day pay out his life on the gallows,
Leo NJ. Frank sat in his cell in the
Tower Friday. ousily and cheerfully
engaged in working on d number of
the details Of his greatly involved
case
Frank was convicted Of murder Au-
gust %. On August 26 he was SEN
fenced by Judge l. 5. Roam to be
hanged October 10. The hearing Of
his attorneys motion for new trial
was set for October 4, but the vast
amount Of work necessary in the
preparation of the arguments led to a
request by Solicitor Dorsey for more
time A weeks delaSwas granted by
Judge Roam, with the understanding
that he would extend the time still
further II desired.
Hearing October 10.
Solicitor Dorsey and his assistant,
A. +. Stephens, secluded themselves
in Valdosta, where they would be in
sured against interruptions, and be-
gan their review of the 115 reasons
for a new trial submitted by the de-
fense. Within a few days they saw
that they could not complete their
work by Saturday of this week and
possibly not in time for hearing on
the following Saturday. Another re-
quest for more time was granted by
Judge Roam. The hearing VIII take
place October IS, in all probability
unless the Solicitor is unable to con-
clude his preparation by that time
In the meantime, Franks execution,
set for to-day, has been indefinitely
postponed. The prisoner continues to
entertain full confidence of ultimate
acquittal. His only utterance has
been that he was unjustly convicted
by jury that was swayed by in1u
ences outside the evidence.
Frank Aids Lawyers.
He is taking most active interest
in the movements in his behalf, and Is
himself assisting the attorneys mate
rally along ce1ain lines. He is Wis
tied constantly by his relatives and
friends, and is maintaining the same
optimistic GemeaGor that has marked
his bearing since he was first takec
to the Tower
Franks counsel are centering theii
efforts at present upon an investiga
ton of prejudice and bias which have
been alleged against a number of the
jurors in the case They believe they
have irrefutable evidence against A
II. Henslee and Marcellus Johenning,

bias against two other jurors which

II was no sort of game to talk

because Mclean, usually one OF the
best throwers in the. business. juggled
pitched bali for a second and was
not set to make the throw.
Fietehcr's Throw Was Costly.
Right there was the break. in my
opinion. Tesreau tightened up snt
famed Mcinnis. but Strunk hit a
tough one to deep short. which F1etch-
er got by a fine effort. He was play
ing deep after the hit, and. knowing
that Struna was a very fast man, he
hurried the play all he could. AS ?
result his throw went over Merkle's
head and the beans were spilled
Without that double steal there
would have been man on first base

Fletcher. to force Baker, a slow man
by a short peg, instead of trying to

The series to date is going very

against any pitching except the "Old

Athletics are hitting and fielding up to

STRANGE INSECT
ON PECAN TREES

New Pest is Now Being In
VGStigatGd

Americas pecan growers are inter

new pest which promises to prove
AZ destructive to the pecan tree as IS
the boil weeyil to cotton. 1t has been
found in several localities about Ma
con. DR.. Walker, of that city, has sent
one of the insects to the state ento-
mologist for investigation.
Branches displayed by DR.. Walker
showed that the insect, which some
have named the 'Pruner" cut the limo
a right angles and the cut was as
smooth as if a knife had been used.
When an effort was made to capture
the insects they acted like squirrels,
running around the branches and
Jumping from enc branch to another.
4 net was finally used in capturing the
insects.
The insect exhibited by Dr. Wake"
vas little more than half an inch long;
had two hard, strongly built wings;
two antennae about half an inch long;
six legs, two on the anterior section
OF the body, and four on the posterior
section The jaws were strong and
the teeth sharp.
AS soon as the entomologist makes
a report the matter will be put before
to extensive pecan growers of south
Georgia, and if the insect is found 20
be destructive to pecan trees steps
will be taken to stamp them out be-
fore they have multiplied too extern

met at the call of Miss Jane Adams.
The women will work along non-parti-
san lines and the present interest IN
voting among women will be utilized.
There is a great responsibility OIL
u.s. Miss Adams told the women. eve
are the first large city in the world
to have suffrage. 1t has been tried out
in San Francisco and Denver, but the
result in Chicago will mean much
more. A large registration of women
at the aldermanic election will do more
to turn the anti-suffragists than any
other thing we can do"
AS quickly as possible headquarters
will be established in every ward and
it is proposed to use the schools for
this purpose.
