Home of Mr. E. T. Ferret Destroyed
About 4<00 O’clock. , '
The home of Mr. E, T. Forest, on
Fourth street, was destroyed by fire
this morning about 4 o’clock. It is
supposed the Are was the work of
an incendiary.
1fra. Forest is visiting relatives in
Yidalia and Mr. Forest was down
town at the election precinct. When
the fire was discovered by parties in
the Clyatt building, the fire depart
ment was soon on the scene, but the
lea had progressed so far that
the best they could do was to, pre
vent the fife spreading.
The house was owned by.Hon. W.
S. Walker and was valued at $1,500
with insurance of $600.
Mr. Forest’s loss is about $1,500,
with $800 insurance.
A new piano in the house, belong
ing to Mrs. C. P. Dickert and worth
$300, is a total loss.

The total cost of taking the census
in Tift county was $115. The result
will be that we. will draw about
$1,000 more from the state funds
than we have been allowed.
Every effort has been made to have
the report accurate; and the delay in
publishing the result was caused by
having to return several reports for
correction, and then verify these by
referring to school reports on file at
thq office of the County School Com
missioner.

EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING
Whits Sitting Beside Track. Death Cams
Eighteen Hours Later from
His Injuries.
Mr. Robert N. Gaulding, the
twenty-two year old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jas. S. Gaulding,, who live
about ten miles north of Tifton, was
struck by a south-bound through
freight on the Georgia South
ern and Florida Railway, about
a mile north of the city limits of
Tifton, Wednesday morning about
2 o'clock and sustained injuries from
which he died Wednesday night at
8:10.
The engineer on the freight saw
the young man just before the train
was upon him, sitting beside the rail
with his head bowed on his hands,
but could not stop his engine until
after ji® was struck. As soon as he
could get his train under control, he
backed up to where Mr. Gaulding
was and he was picked up and
brought to Tifton and carried to the
home of his brother-in-law, Mr. L. J.
Riggins, where he remained uncon
scious until his death, 18 hours later.
The accident occurred near the
Agricultural School building, and
where there was a sharp curve.
When picked up Mr. Gaulding was
unconscious, with a gaping wound
on the back and on the top of his
head.
His socks were lying near, and
from appearances he had evidently
stopped to remove hi3 shoes and
rest his feet after his long walk, and
dropped off to sleep just before the
train came up on him. "
Mr. Gavlding left his father’s
home, about ten miles from where
he was killed, about 10 o'clock at
night, and so far as known that is
the last seen of him until he was
struck by the train.
His mother and his sister, Mrs.
Riggins, have both been very ill and
he had lost quite a lot of sleep re
cently, and is thought to have
Been overcome with sleep when he
stopped. His family were staying
at the home of his brother, Mr.
Jack Gaulding, near Chula.
He was buried at Zion Hope
church yesterday afternoon, the fu
neral services being conducted bv
Rev. Elias Turner.
Mr. Gaulding was born in Tifton
and was well known all through this
section, where his family and broth
ers have many friends.
