AMERICUS TIMES-REOIHCmW 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.

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.

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. SLIT TO DISSOLVE NATIONAL PACKING CO. Administration Has Approved Papers In the Case. (Special Times-Recorder.) Chicago, Feb.

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. HEALTH AND VITALITY. Mott’s Nerverine Pills.

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.
