Ever loyal to those he lied, ever
ready to extend a favor to hisyfriends
j. W. Furlow was a man yob could
count on. N
AS newspaper man he belois sed to
that class of men who were an ylonor
to the fourth estate. He wrote with
a fervor and style all his own. A
master mind was his, a mind that
made it possible for him to molld
public opinion by his writings. n
For thirty years he was the main
stay of the Times Recorder. Thu

Walt Furlow at the city desk. No one
IN Amel .ods knew the history of Am
ericus better than he. Generation
after genreation have felt the influ-
ence of his writings. Americas and
j. W. Furlow grew up together.
Americus, South Georgia, and the
newspaper profession have lost man
whose place will be hard to fill. Lit
orally thousands of people through
out south Georgia, were made sad
when the Associated Press flashed the
news that he had passed to the great
beyond.
The last piece of copy has been
written by this brilliant man. He has
gone to his reward in better world.
He leaves behind those who love him
best. He elaves a void that will nev-
er be filed.
Ever loyal, ever true, ever faithful,
he lived a gentleman of the old
school. Polished, refined, cultured,
he moved among a large circle of
friends.
His end was unexpected except to
few who were at the bedside when
death came. The community has lost
a friend. Walt Furlow is no more.

.BLAKELY FEARS
MORE TROUBLE.
WITH NEGROES.

BLAKELY, Ca, Jan. 1.-Oficers
here are apprehensive lest negroes
might take retaliatory measures to
avenge the deaths of several negroes
here in the last two days.
Reports indicate that nine have been
killed as the result of the assassina-
tion of Henry Vilipigue by negroes on
Wednesday.
Last night several negroes surround
ed the home of H. H. Grimsley and
threatened him and family, but disap-
peared before officers arrived. Many
armed men are reported as coming to
Blakely from nearby towns.
1t is reported here that no negro
ledge buildings are standing in the
county. Several were burned by
white epople, and then egroes tore
one down to prevent it from being
burned. This is believed to have been
done because of reported notes found
on one dead negro dictated in the
negro lodge which swore vengeance
on Villipigie because he thrashed a
negro 1t is quiet here today.

Alexandria today. No word has been
received from Consul McNelly. The

J.W. FUR[OW HAS
PASSED into THE
GREATEST WORLD
Walt Furlow is dead!

Walt Furlow is dead!
As the old year bowed in greeting
the new year Saturday morning his
life began to ebb, and ere the sun
rose to greet the first day of 1916, his
soul had passed into eternity
For over thirty years John Walter
,F'urlow was connected with the
Americus Times Recorder in the local
news department. With the title of
city editor and with unqualified devo,
ton to this paper he worked unfiinch-
ingly in a service of great fruits.
Mt Furlow was iifty-ive years of
age, having been born in Americas on
December 2Sth, 1860. Through the
years of his life he lived in the home
of his birth, and in early manhood
became connected with the old Amer
icus Recorder.
The entire community, excepting
those few who knew his desperate con-
dition, were shocked as the news
flashed from house to house early yes
terday.
Mr.. Furlow began feeling unwell
Friday afternoon, but until Tuesday
afternoon he remained at his desk, re-
fusing to let his true condition be
known. The editor was at home dur
ing the holidays and with the same f.
deity that has marked his greatness
he would not allow him to be notified
until it was certain when he would
return.
With severe cold he retired Tues
day evening, and at noon Wednesday
was carried to the city hospital where
his condition was known to be dan
gerous. There was no decided change
until late Friday evening when the tie
of life which had bound him to
2 thousand hearts began to waver.
Slowly, his great spirit lowered be-
tween life and death, and with a calm
ness which was admirable to behold |
breathed his last.
1t was not Furlow's wish that any
extraordinary attention be given his
demise in the newspaper which he
loved. For over three decades he had
recounted the happenings of Ameri-
Gus and vicinity; writing the death of |
every person almost without excep- |
ton, who has passed away in Ameri-
Gus and Sumter county during his
term of service with the paper.
Mr.. Furlow's greatest happiness was
when he was easing the burdens OF
others. Hundreds of little children
knew him as "Bubber" and he was al
ways attentive to their wants and
CARES. They will miss him-for
there's not another Bubber.
The great soul was not afraid to die.
With the philosphic faculties so COM
mon to newspape" men, he faced eter-
nifty without the slightest semblance of
fear. Il have enjoyed living this
life," were the words which the great
man spoke to the writer as he told
him of his desperate condition Thurs
day evening.
Walt Furlow will be missed, but not
forgotten. We would not attempt to
fill his place-there is no other.
The remains of Mr.. Furlow laid in
state at the Americas Undertaking
Co., until a o'clock Saturday afternoon
when they were carried to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Dudley Gatewood, Oh
Lee street.
The funeral services will be con-
dl cted from the. First Methodist
