Prominent Albany Man Succumbs to

office this afternoon. He had not been
feeling we'll during the forenoon and
went home for several hour, but re-
turned to his work after lunch.
He had been at his desk but a
short time when noise attracted the
attention of workers in an adjoining
room; when they reached Mr.. Roper
they found him unconscious. Physi-
clans who arrived later said heart fail

east OF Paris, Tex, reversed the time
honored custom of towns following
the railroad, and moved away from
the railroad to the new concrete high
way that runs east out of Paris.
This town, on the Texas and Pacific
Railroad, saw only four trains day
passing through it while a half mile
away a steady stream of traffic passes
over the concrete highway. So the
town packed up all of its three busi-
ness houses and moved over. Only
a swimming pool was left.
There is no real reason why every
town shouldn't have a good highway
running to, through and away from it.
What other towns are doing to inn
prove their roads, all towns may do.
The good highway means today as
much to any town as the railroad did

quick transportation, increased mar
kets, better business, finer schools.

and it is not disputed why should

link of such system as to make the
connection SO inexpensive that no
town could afford not to make it!

APPEAL FOR FUNDS
TO HELP REDUCE
ILLITERACY IN GEORGIA

The Georgia Illiteracy Commission
is out with an appeal for funds to
carry on the work of teaching the sew
enty thousand white illiterates of the
state, at least enough to write their
names and as there are said to be
thirty thousand of them who are of
voting age, the importance of wiping
out this condition becomes apparent.
The American Legion of Georgia is
committed to this campaign and Post
Commander Preston Seanor is coop
Grating with the Illiterarcy Coommis-
sion of Georgia in securing funds for
this purpose.
Contributors to the amount of $500
are credited with scholarship to read
and write during this summer. If you
desire to help along this work send
your check for any amount to Preston
Seanor, who will forward it for you
to the proper authority.

FEW CASUALTIES KNOWN.
First Shock Gave Costa Ricans
Chance to Escape.

By the Associated Press.
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, March C.
The estimated loss in government
buildings and churches from the
earthquakes which have been in
progress for two days is about S15,-
100000. The private losses are very
heavy, but have not been estimated.
Four hundred and eleven earth
shocks occurred in twelve hours, and
the tremors continue in milder
form.
There are many appeals for help
coming from the west. but thus far
very few casualties have been re-
ported, as the first shock gave the
people time to find places of safety.
The government has closed all adj
ministrative offices on account of the
damage to official buildings.
The American embassy building in
San Jose was not much damaged, and
there We're no casualties there.
