FITZGERALD is SWEPT
BY $500, 900 BLAZE
Several Automobiles Burned.
Tenants Flee From Up
stairs Apartments - Out
side Aid Responds

FITZGERALD, Ga. Nov. 30 :
Fire destroyed three hundred thou
sand dollars worth of property in
the business section of the town at
4 o'clock Tuesday morning. The en-
tire block was occupied by automo-
bile and farm implements concerns.
The upper stories We're utilized as
apartment houses. about thirty fam
lilies living there. One lady and child
were saved only by the use of eX
tension ladder by firemen. None of
the furniture or personal belongings
of tenants were saved.
When it appeared that the local
fire department might be unable to
cope with the conflagration, Mayor
Pittman called for the Ocilla, Tiff
ton, Cordele and Douglas depart
ments, and they started to the city's
relief, but reached here after the To-
cal fire fighters had the fire under
control.
The fire started in the garage of
the Automotive Sales company and
soon swept through the entire block,
taking in the buildings owned by
H. A. Burkhart, two stories, cover
ing a lot one hundred and seventy
by eighty-five feet; the wholesale de-
partment of the Johnson Hardware
company and the three-story sales
rooms and apartment house of the
Fitzgerald Overland company, oWRs
ed by H. H. Sleigh. The Burkhart
losses are estimated at 100000.
Owing to the absence of owner in
Atlanta, exact amount of insurance
carried is not available, but it is
said to be about 100000.
The Thurmond Auto company, A.
H. Thurmond owner, lost $4,000,
with insurance of $1,000 on new
cars in stock.
The Johnson Hardware company
lost about $4,000, with insurance
of $4,000.
H. E. Sleigh lost $4,000, with in
surance of $4,000.
Other slight losses were sustained
by Home Furniture company, FoW-
Ter Drug company, Maffet, Holder
& Mathis, drygoods, the Herald
building and the Bowen Telephone
company.
1t was largely due to the fact that
the east wall of the Sleigh building
fell into the fire that the city was
saved from the certain loss of most
of it's business buildings, as the fire
was sweeping in the direction Of the
main part of the city when the wall
fell in and smothered the fire. The
apartments in the Burkhart build
ing and the Sleigh apartments were
all furnished and owned by tenants
who were OF insured.

His overcoat he'd packed away, Nor blizzards did he fear, He walked to work and reveled in The balmy atmosphere. Twas 6 p. m., he staggered home, Sick, cold, and out of breath.

 Says Harold Sykes:
 When I was down in Waco, Texas, in 1918, I was out on the parade ground at Camp McArthur one par ticularly hot day. An old negro was driving an equally ancient mule through nearby popcorn field. The mule, who had in his younger days be- longed to the army, had seen service in Alaska, the Philippines, California, New York, and was now ending his useful life in Texas.
 The day was so warm that the pop corn started popping off the stalks, and the poor old mule, remembering the Alaska he had known, thought it was a snowstorm, and before the ne- gro could drive him out of the field he froze to death.

 There's the spray of sluice
 And the odorous spruce Enhancing the cool of the shade. There's bit of perfume in the spind-

Zane Grey, in his story of his Tonto Basin bear-hunting trip last fall, which ran serially in the Country Gen tleman, described the numerous fruit less attempts he and his brother made to shoot some of the many wild turk eys they ran across during the several weeks they stayed in that section.
 Mrs. D. S. Roome, who used to teach school in Tonto Basin, says that Elwood Pyle, well-known resident there, had better luck with turkeys than the celebrated author. Pyle saw three turkeys walking ahead of him on trail. He drew carefully on the rear bird with 22 rife, all that he had with him. The single shot killed all three, and the bullet was extracted from the neck of the bird in front. "Nevvy" Smith came to town from

oOITIC HdVt OpTn- ions.-Bill Doney's philosophy.
 We have all heard the story of the Texas judge who acquitted a man charged with and admitting shoot ing Chinaman on the ground that he could find no statute against killing Chinamen; and we have thought the story figment of imagination.
 Now, then, what have you to say to this, something that actually happen ed:
 Antorio Ramirez, the negro Mexi- can arrested here last week by City Marshal R. L. Neill for killing a man in Florence, Kans., in 1913, not only admitted the killing, but later told how he afterward shot four Mexicans in poker game at Banning, Calf.
 Whereupon, County Attorney F. M. Gold telegraphed the officials at Ban- ming to see whether they wanted Ra- mirez. This is the telegram Mir. Gold received in reply last Thursday night:
