QUICK RESPONSE
MADE BY DAWSON
ARTICLES NEEDED BY SOLDIERS
AT CAMP WHEELER. 1000
MEN IN THE HOSPITAL.

Hearing the persistent rumors of
the distressing conditions at Camp
Wheeler, Mrs. Guy Chappell wrote
to Mr.. James Gamble, field director
of Red Cross work at the camp, and
promptly received a letter from
which the following extracts are
made:
There are at present about 1900
men in the base hospital, about l.
200 of whom are i'll with measles.
While condition here is serious it Is
not alarming, and the men are be-
ing well taken care of There is,
however, shortage of warm arti-
cles. If the ladies of Dawson will
send US pajamas made of outing
flannel, blanket bath robes and warm
bed socks they will be very well
come. None of these articles are
supplied by the government and l
feel that they will be badly needed
when the weather turns colder. We
should also be very glad to have any
articles of food, such as jellies, pre-
serves, fruit, etc. While sheets and
blankets will prove acceptable the
need for the articles which | have
mentioned above is more pressing. If
you will forward donations to me at
Swift Greek Station l will see that
they are promptly distributed. Mail,
however, should be sent to my office,
361 Cotton Ave, Macon"
In twenty-four hours after this in
formation was given out a box of
fifteen good, warm blankets were on
the way to add to the comfort OF
certain Terrell county boys at Camp
Wheeler, who had not been supplied
with the extra cover. The amour
required for the purchasing of the
blankets was the voluntary contribu
ton of several Terrell county men.

TRAVELS WITH PYTHON
AS FELLOW TRAVELLER

WHITWELL, Tenn, June 11.-An
automobilist from Florida is here this
week awaiting repairs for his car be-
fore continuing his journey to his
home in Indiana. He has for trav.
elling companion an immense Indian
python, 90 feet long and weighing 215
pounds. Millican, for that is the trav.
eller's name, has been the owner of
the reptile for nine years, and they
have. got to be great companions.
When Millican gets tired of driving
his car all he has to do is to drive off
on the side of the road and the python
gets fan and fans him to sleep. 1t
is not necessary to ssy that there is 10
interference when providers come up
to the car and see the monster snake
on guard. The reptile is very affec-
tionate also, and it is wonderful to
see the intimacy between the two.
