IRON FOUNDRY WAS
TOTALLY DESTROYED
IN CONF AGRATION

At noon today the Fitzgerald Iron
Foundry caught fire and despite the
quick response OF the fire department
and the heroic work OF the firemen,
soon became a total loss 10 its own
ers.
The property was owned by a cor
poration, of which Messrs. T. N. and
A. N. Davis and VIM. Jewell were the
principal owners.
No insurance was carried on the
property.

Washington February l.-While
all official information OF the subma-
rine situation was withheld late this
afternoon, there were indications in
official quarters that communication
actually had been sent or was about
TO be sent to Germany.
There was no official indication of
its nature, but a view persistently
held was that it was in the nature Of
a warming against unrestricted sub
marine warfare, and placed a sever
ance of diplomatic relations in order
as the next step if Germany persists
: in breaking her pledges to the United
States.
Lansing Worked Upon Document
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing discussed the situation for an
hour today, after Mr.. Lansing had
worked all morning on document
which he took with him to the white
house
After the conference Secretary Lam
sing refused catergorically to say
what had been decided upon.
A warning to Germany that sew
.erance of diplomatic relations will fol-
low the putting into effect of such a
campaign of ruthlessness as she has
announced, or an actual severance on
Germany's announcement as it stands,
are among the possibilities. There
is no official ground, however, for
stating that either OF these courses
has been selected although one is
generally expected.
1t is admitted that course Of &C
ton has been decided upon. but it is
said that certain steps must be taken
before it is announced.
Washington, D. c.. Jan. 3l.-Ger-
many has declared unrestricted sub
marine warfare
A starvation blockade of England
the like of which the world never has
, seen, was announced today in notes
delivered to American Ambassador
, Gerard in Berlin and to the state de-
partment here by Count Won Bern
storff.
Thus begins the long-feared cam.
paign conceived by Won Hindenburg
it is said here, on magnitude never
even contemplated by Won Tirpitz.

Because it is announcement to play
football in an overcoat with furs on,
the basketball game scheduled for
this afternoon has been postponed by
the Cordele club until Monday. The
Cordele boys telephoned this morn
ing that they had trained for basket
ball and not for ice hockey. How

Biography.

Comment of a nephew at the funer-
al of his aunt, Fetna Woodbridge, who
was buried at the Bethlehem church,
Russell county, KY, on Dec. 8, 1916.
A little more than eighty years ago
there lived a young man and young
woman in Bedford county, Va, who
decided to cast their lots together, and
were married and after their first
baby, Mary Ann, had come into the
home, and being young and full of
vigor and good health, they decided-to
seek a home farther west. So they
loaded their small store of belong
ings into a wagon and started out.
But before starting on their journey
they sought salvation and we're con-
verted and joined the Methodist
Church.
After long and hard trip they ar
rived on the head of Greasy creek,
where they made their home and
reared their family of six children, the
one whose remains lay silent before
US, was the Youngest of the family.
She grew into womanhood, with a
beautiful, gentle, loving disposition
which attracted the attention of every
one about her, and especially of a
young man of the neighborhood, Shell
ly Woodbridge. He was a powerful
young man, physically, mentally and
spiritually. He stood six feet four
inches, a picture of health. He sought
this then young woman's hand and
won. After five children had come
to gladden. their home, two of which
went to Heaven in infancy, the other
three being here, smal pimple came
on his under lip which developed into
a cacer- You older people present
know the result. just in the bloom
of his manhood he was taken, but a
few years before his death, he devel-
oped one of the most BEAUTIFUL Christ
ian dispositions l have ever known.
He commented on his affiiction and
the end that he knew was near, as a
matter of business. He said here is
Martin, the only son, who is large
enough to plow and run the farm, and
the two little girls are old enough to
help their mother, and they can get
along without me. During all this
time the loving Fetna stood by him
and nainistered lovingly, patiently and
gently to his every need, hardly realiz
| ing what it meant to be left a widow
with three small children to care for
but uncle Shell passed away and fol
% years aunt Fetna has held the
reins of government in the family anC
has reared her children, and seen them
married and all have families of theil
