BALTIMORE SUFFERS
FROM GREAT TIRE
Two Blocks in Business
District Burned.
r
Vast Army of People
Watch Flames From
Roo.s of Buildings.
(Special Tinies-Recorder.)
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 1. —'With two
blocks of immensely valuable prop
erty laid waste Baltimore was today
visited by the worst conflagration
since the big fire of 1904.
The firs broke out in the Bennett
Pottery Company's stable and rapid
ly spread north and south.
Never in late years has a more
spectacular fire been witnessed in this
city.
Fully 200,000 people packed the
roofs o fthe giant skyscrapers
and other buildings to witness the
thick red glow slowly curl itself into
the air and belch forth with renewed
vigor as the minutes flew by.
No estimate of the loss can be had
at this time, but it will be heavy. Sev
eral dwellings caught fire in the
neighborhood. Some of the tenants
had narrow escapes and other occu
pants of dwellings, mostly foreign
ers, became wildly panic stricken
and removed their household effects
pellmell out of danger.
THE MERCHANT OF VENUE’’
TODAY AT MATINEE,
With “As You Like It” A s Bill for
Evening.
At matinee this afternoon Mr. Wil
liam Owens and large company of se
lected players will present at the op
era house Shakespeare’s delightful
comedy “The Merchant * Venice"
while this evening at 8:30 o’clock “As
You Like It" will he the dramatic feast
promised.
The sale of seats for this delightful
Shaktsperean series is large already
and it may be said in all truth that
nothing finer has been presented in
Americus during the entire theatrical
season to date.
The “Merchant of Venice” is too
well known to play-goers to need com
mendation, and the audience this as- ’
ternoon will be charmed therewith, i
“As You Like It” appeals to every j
one, and its presentation by William
Owens, promises a rare treat to the
ater-goers.
Mr. Owen is Orlando par excellence.}
His portrayal teems with the ardor!
of love and life. Not one comedy line j
escapes him, and the audience is com-!
pelled to enjoy the humor of the play
with him in all the great comedy
scenes.
The passion, the glint of steel, the
love of truth and clear eyed humor ot
the play are mingled with the sure
touch of the master and Mr. Owen’s !
j Orlando stand at the head of his long
| list of- successes.
The management has supplied a
gorgeous setting of beautiful scenery,
where the romance, poetry and de
lightful comedy of the play may un
fold with deepest effect. A splendid
engagement of singers of note makes
the musical atmosphere of the plot in
perfect accord with the finished in
terpretations of the characters.

Brunswick, Ga., Feb. I.—Keen in

under way at Americus and Ashburn
to build a railway from Americus to

Brunswick trade bodies will get in

shows stability.
it is probable that a committee from
this city will attend the coming con
ference at Americus between the busi

There are a dozen or more growing
towns along the proposed route and
these will join heartily in pushing the
movement. As yet no definite infor
mation has been received here of the
plans of the proposed system. As
soon as the data is secured the local
trade bodies will take prompt steps
to help the project.

Another eminent artist wrote him
as follows: “Your art is exquisite

your unusually finely cultivated fac

BUYS OUT PINKSTON CO;
NEW FIRM IS FORMtD
i Warlick Bros. Company the
Corporation.
Old House of Years
Standing Gives Place
to New Firm.
The Pinkston Co., which so ra long
number of years has ranked among
the leading mercantile enterprises of
Americus with that veteran merchant
and genial gentleman, Mr. James A.
Pinkston at the helm, ceased to exist
yesterday and as such has passed into
other hands.
Warlick Bros., Company is the new
Richmond in the field, having pur
chased the Pinkston interests and
changed the large business into a cor
poration.
The transfer was made yesterday
and already the new management,
Messrs. S. E. Warlick and W. P. War
lick, are in charge of affairs.
The business, one of the largest dry
goods establishments in south Geor
gia, will be continued at the same
stand. The new company will be duly
incorporated, and there will be no in
terruption of business even for a day
under new conditions.
While Mr. Pinkston retires there
from he is still interested as a stock
holder in the new corporation and
feels fully identified therewith. Other
stockholders, besides the Messrs. War
lick, are residents of Macon, Balti
more. New York and Philadelphia.
With abundant capital, the business
will be very largely increased and
the house of Warlick Bros., Company
will be among the leading establish,
ments in the state.
The new company will conduct two
large stores here under the same man
agement; the Pinkston Co., store and
that of Mr. Will P. Warlick in the
Planters Bank building. Mr. Sam E.
Warlick will be in charge of the La
mar street store and Mr. W. P. War
lick in charge of the other, as hereto
fore.
Both these young men have long
been identified with the mercantile in
terests of Americus, and very success
fully.
For many years past Mr. Warlick
has been closely identified with the
Pinkston Co., as partner therein, and
much of the great success of the old
company has been due to his personal
popularity and business ability.
In the capacity of buyer he has long
been closely in touch with manufac
turing establishments and wholesale
house of the east with whom the old
firm has dealt in past years, while in
the local field he is esteemed as one
of the foremost business young men
of the state.
The Messrs. Warlick will, by unit
ed effort, build up a splendid busi
ness for the new corporation.
Mr. Pinkston will shortly engage in
some other business here which will
be less confining and allow him some
relaxation after a strenuous business
career of nineteen years in Americus.
That he is to remain here is a source
of much gratification to his thousands
of friends.
Further announcement of the plans
of the new corporation, Warlick Bros.
Company, will he given the public
within a day or two.

6ANKS All SEEM TO
PE IN GOOD SHAPE
Nola National Institution
on the “Bad" List.
New York, Feb. I.—The National
City Bank of New York, in its monthly
circular says:
“There is practically not a national
bank in all the United States at the
present time whose condition is re
garded as unsatisfactory. This is the
important declaration which was made
by the comptroller of the currency in
a recent informal address to a group
of Treasury officials and bankers. It
is all the more important, in view of
the fact that it was also declared that
a year ago there were several hun
dred banks, out of the 7,000 associa
tions doing business under national
charters, which were regarded, and
had for many years been considered
by the officials of the comptroller’s of
fice, as either unsound or poorly man
aged.
“It formerly was the practice of the
comptroller's office to segregate
banks of this class from those which
required no special or unusual super
vision. Efforts made fromtime to
time to better the condition of these
unsatisfactory institutions were suc
cessful in particular instances, but on
the whole the list of the so-called bad
hanks was never materially reduced
in numbers until the inauguration of
a series of administrative reforms a
little over a year ago.
As the result of the successful
working out o fthe various reform
measure which have been a feature of
the administration of the comptroller’s
office since September, 1908, a com
plete rehabilitation of the unsound
and poorly managed banks has been
effected. By persistent pressure from
the comptroller’s office, and with the
co-operation of hank officers and di
rectors, the status of these banks has
.been so improved that there is not
now any bank on the bad list. This
is a noteworthy achievement and a
most remarkable one to have been
attained in so short a time. It has
immeasurably benefited the general
banking situation.
A man can get a reputation for
most anything if he has enough mon
ef to prove it.

DEATH OF J. H. DANIEL
AT HOME IN SUMTER
Citizen Well Known Has
Passed Away.
Many Years a Resident
of County and Gen
erally Esteemed.
Mr. Joseph Henry Daniel, one of
Sumter county's best known and es
teemed citizens, passed away yester
day morning at an early hour at his
beautiful country home west of Anffetoj
icus. The end came quite
edly, and was a shock to his faniinF
and many friends.
Acute rheumatism of the heart, it is
supposed, caused the death of Mr.
Daniel, as he had been suffering from
rheumatism during the past several
days.
Yesterday morning he arose early,
as has ever been his custom, and gave
directions regarding work upon the
farm. Suddenly he was seized with
a pain i nthe region o fthe heart and
expired ere his physician arrived.
Information of the death of Mr.
Daniel was received in Americus with
deepest regret among hundreds here
who esteemed him highly.
A citizen of integrity and high char
acter, just and honest in all his deal
ings, his death will prove a loss to the
community in which he has so long
resided. He was a native of this sec
tion and nearly all of the sixty years
of his useful career were passed here
in Sumter.
His life was devoted to agricultural
pursuits and in this direction, as in
others, he achieved success. For sev
eral years he was county commission
er of Sumter, and also chairman of
the board of trustees of the Third
district Agricultural College here.
But it is in the home circle as hus
/iand and father, and in the Baptist
church at Friendship, which he loved
so well, that Mr. Daniel will be miss
ed most.
For a long number of years Mr.
Daniel as been a consistent member
of that church, and the funeral serv
ices, conducted jointly by Rev. R. L.
Bivins, Rev. Mr. Knowles and Rev.
Mr. Carter will take place there
this afternoon, the interment being in
the cemetery near the church.
Mr. Daniel is survived by his wife,
three daughters, Mrs. James Walker,
Mrs. T. M. Everett and Miss Amzie
Daniel; four sons, Messrs. H. O. Dan
iel, Claude, Corley and Eugene Daniel.
Four sisters are also among the near
est surviving relatives,
demise.
The funeral services .will take place
at 3 o’clock this afternoon, and
largely attended.
