IS DAMAGED BY FIRE
Fort Valley, ;itlglxsl 3.—Fort Valley's
$75,000 school building was discovered
to be burning early Wednesday morn
ing and for a long time the fire was
unmanageable.

the middle of the night Tuesday and
smoldered through the night. Its origin
is unknown. N
The damage is great on the interior
of the building, the smoke ruining the
walls and woodwork, besides the dam
age by water and flames. Practically
the entire building will have to Dbe
done over inside. Repairs will be
needed in the basement where the fire
started. s
Fort Valley's fire company worked
faithfully for an hour and a half be
tore the flames were extinguished, and
some of the firemen were almost over
come by the dense smoke.
Fort \'aliey's pride is her schpol
building, which is one of the finest
public buildings in the state, and the
entire community deplores the loss.

AUTO JUMPS EIGHT 3
FOOT DITCH IN DARK
Bainbridge, Aug. 4.—A party of local
nctorists returning from Thomasville
last night bad a very narrow escape
and with it a most thrilling experience.
Turning a sharp curve in the road at
an average speed they came upon a
gulley washed through the turnpike
upon which they were traveling. To
stop would have been impossible, so
with rare presence of mind the driver
“opened her up” to the last notch and
cleared the ravine with only a slight
bump for the passengers. Getting out
and examining the ditch it was found
to be eight feet wide and five deep and
to have plunged into it would have
meant serious injury to every one in
the party, if not death. The car was
damaged to the extent of a bent axle.
Pulmonary tuberculosis is being
treated by a Danish physician with
air that has been subjected to the ac

to have a healing effect when inhaled
