Firebugs Attempt to
Confuse Department
Sunday was a busy day for the fire
department, two runs in the fore
noon, being followed by three w’ithin
a period of 10 minutes shortly after 9
o’clock last night. Two of the night
calls appeared to have been the work
of a team of firebugs, bent upon burn
ing a negro house, owned by Boss
Warren, on the lower end of Dudley
street. Chief Naylor reported that he
found in the house a bundle of fat
pine splinters with which the building
had been set afire, the blaze being
extinguished before much damage was
done.
Immediately after the department
left on this call, another alarm was
rung in from Box 31, on Brown and
Church streets, on the opposite side of
the city. Hearing this alarm from the
city tower, Chief Naylor divided his
forces and sent one crew to Box 31,
where it was discovered it was a false
alarm, evidently run to confuse the
department, and perhaps permit the
burning of the negro house. Within a
few minutes a third alarm was rung
from Dudley and Plum streets, but
this was a 'phone call and believed to
have been a mistaken location of the
fire on the other end of Dudley street.
Sunday morning at 8:40 o’clock the
department made a run to the home
of Lucile Bowie, colored, on Forsyth
street, where the roof was afire from a
spark, and at 9:30 o’clock put out a
blaze of similar origin on the roof of
the home of G. E. Rainey, colored, on
Ashby street.

Red Cross Appeal
The local Red Cross chapter makes
an earnest appeal for cast off clothing;
(which is in good condition) for the
people of the liberated countries,
where it has been informed, clothing
is more necessary than food at pres
ent. The collection of garments must
be finished on March 31st, leaving a
very short time before shipment is
planned. Those who will contribute
are expected to telephone 220 and the
garments will be collected at once.
The chapter is also sorely in need of
workers, as there are at present in
the work room 120 refugee garments
to be completed. Help must be se
cured or these cannot be finis! ed and
a generous response to both these ap
pet Is is hoped for.

Lassiter Bruised
As Auto Hits Tree
J. W. Lassiter, county road super
intendent, was bruised somewhat in an
automobile accident on Felder street
at Rees park Sunday night. He was
being driven to the city from the
convict camp in a county-owned auto
mobile by a trusty named Orr. It was
said that the car was traveling at
considerable speed, when another auto
standing near the turn was sighted,
and the driver swerved the car so
sharply that it skidded and struck a
tree, demolishing a wheel and throw
ing the occupants out. It was thought
at first that Mr. Lassiter was badly
hurt, but today it developed that he
was only bruised.
A case was made against him by the ■
police on a charge of reckless driving.

Death Lays Hand on
Many City Leaders
A reader of The Times-Recorder
submits the following example of the
seriousness of the ravages of influ
enza in this community, happily now
long since wiped out:
Since the recent epidemic of influ
enza set in here, Americus has lost
two lawyers, Blalock and Winchester;
two bank cashiers, McNulty and Shef
field; two insurance agents, Everette
and Young; one physician, Mayes; one
engineer, Markette, and one book
keeper. Smith.
Not all of these, however, were vic
tims of influenza.
