CAPT. FURLON
DEAD BODY TO
BURIED HERE

Anericus relatives received tele-
grams last night conveying intelli-
come of the death at Clarksville, at
Q o'clock Of Capt. Charles Timothy
Furlow. a former resident of Ameri-
cns. who had been i'll at his home in
GAINESVILLE during some time. The
remains will be brought here Fri
dav morning, and interment will be
in the Furlow family lot in Oak
Grove cemetery. Funeral exercises
will be held from the residence of
lanes w. Harris, Jr., on Horne
street, and will be conducted by Rev.
Guyton Fisher, pastor of First Meth
odist church. The pallbearers will
be A. D. Gatewood, T. F. Gatewood,
T. M. Furlow, J. W. Harris, Jr.,
Stewart Furlow and W. M. Jones.
The remains will reach Americas
Friday morning at 5:15 O'Clock, and
viii be carried Immediately to the
Harris home, where the funeral ex-
ercises will begin at 10 o'clock.
Capt. Furlow was one of the best
known residents of Americas during
former years, being a son of the late
Timothy NJ Furlow, a pioneer settler
here, and a member of one of the.
largest and most influential families
in Southwest Georgia. He was born
in BIB county, April Is, 1912, and
moved to Americas during his boy
hood, attending the public schools
here. At the age Of IS he ran
away from school and enlisted in the
Confederate army as a member of
Co. K Fourth Georgia Infantry, his
company being known as the Sumter
Light Guards, and one of the famous
army organizations of that period. He
was elevated out of the ranks when
he was made aide camp on the staff
of General Doles, May %, 1861, and
later served in like capacity under
General Phil Cook. He was
promoted to be captain and aide camp
on the staff of Major General A. A.
Wright, in 1864. During the heavy
fighting about Spottsylvania Court
house, Va, he was slightly wounded,
this being the only wound he sus-
tanned during the entire war, al
though he was brave and intrepid
soldier and loyal and gallant Con-
federate officer. At the close of the
war, Capt. Furlow returned home
with thousands of other Confederates
and took up the work of rebuilding
the devastated Southland.
Comptroller General William A.
Wright, with whom Capt. Furlow
served as a member of the staff of
Major General A. R. Wright, ap-
pointed him a clerk in his office in
Atlanta shortly after the close of
the war, and Capt. Furlow retained
that position during several years,
or until he was named to a more
responsible place in the Office of
the state treasurer. He continued
his connection with the state treas
urerfs Office until i'll health caused
him to resign two years ago when
he retired to his home at Clarksville,
where death came peacefully at the

The Empty

The energy of the nation now has full
play. Business is leaping with bounds;
there is so much to be done for those
at home and those abroad.
War stripped us down to necessities;
swept away our reserve supplies; tax
ed factory, mine and farm.
Now we must supply not only our GUS
tomarv wants, but we must again store
up our normal reserves, while helping
rebuild devastated Europe,
There must be no paralysis of produc-
ton; confidence between capital and
labor must prevail constructive CO.
operation must rule; the worlds sup
plies must be enormously multiplied.
The new American spirit, the Spirit OF
Service must govern. With this spirit
prevalent we take up our huge task
