FORTY-FOURTH YEAR—NO. 137 NEW YORK STORM DEATH TOLL PASSES 30 RETURNING TIDE SWEEPS BODIES OFIBDEADBACK Brief Hurrieans Spreads Tragedy And Disaster Os Me tropolis NEW YORK, June 12.—The death toll in the brief hurricane which swooped down on the metropolitan area late yesterday passed the sixty mark today, with indications that the total might go much higher. The list leaped ahead when the incoming tide returned eighteen more bodies that were’swept to sea last night. Daybreak this morning found hun dreds of parents, children and rela tives still standing virgil at docks of Uje City Island, awaiting the arrival of police boats which during the early hours had searched the waters of Long Island Sound for additional victims of yesterday’s storm. Besides the 60 persons who lost their lives, upwards of one hundred have been injured in the tempest, which roared out of the hills of New Jersey, beat the Hudson into foam capped breakers and swept across New York pit/. The property dam age is estimated from $1,000,000 to three times that much. The fury of the storm broke sud denly over a little amusement park at Clason’s Point, the Bronx, lash ed into a Ferris wheel crowded with young people, crushed it to the ground and passed on leaving six dead and m,ore than forty injured. The storm came at the close of one of the most horrid days of the sea son. The wind, coming gently from the south and southwest at first, shifted suddenly into the northwest and increased in velocity to eighty eight miles, and sweeping through New Jersey, Westchester county, across the City Island, the Bronx and left, death and destrtre* tion in its wake. Torrential rains, then lightning fol lowed the wind. Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers were on beaches and at va rious outlying resorts when the storm broke and it was from these that the storm took its death toll. NEXT SALE AT PLAINS.

GAWD I M CLEAR 1(Ule Some of the illustration* from “Case Brulo,” the magazine of flapper fun which ha* shocked New Orleans, with the lines. Also Helen Dmond, managing editor of the paper, who take* the attitude, “Evil to him who evil thinks,„ awmto NEW ORLEANS, June 12.—The flapper has dashed in again where angels fear to tread—this time into the purveys of humor; And has started a regular riot! . One-half the riot was caused by the rush to get the latest number of ‘‘Cafe Brulo,” the comic monthly put out by students of Tulane University; the other half caused by frantic efforts of college and public school officials, preachers and parents to keep ‘‘Cafe Brulo” out of the young people’s hands. Most of the flapper fun in “Case Brulo”—which gets its name from a drink famous in New Orleans be fore prohibition—was contributed by girl students of Newcombe college. But the faculty of Newcomb has barred the publication from the col lege campus. The fuclty of the largest girls’ high school in New Or leans has done likewise. "Evil to him who evil thinks,” is the defense of Helen Dymond, man aging editor of “Case Brulo” and a student of Newcomb, who is the daughter of an aristocratic southern family. Here are samples of the flapper fun from "Case Brulo” that has started the frenzy and made the last number a best seller despite the pro hibitions laid against it. This one rhymes: Oft, in the tuinmer’s night, With some one's arms around me, I think of the times gone by, When other arms have bound me; Os other lies, ’Neath summer skies, Os other lips I've tasted; The stuff in miles, 1 spilled with smiles, So the evening wasn’t wasted. i Thus in the summer’s night, i When Tommie's arms are around me, I 1 compare it to the nights gone by When Jack's or Jim's arms bound me. Evidently “Case Brulo” senses a disposition on the part of some stu dents to violate Volstead: Lives there a stude with soul so dead Who never to himself had said: Oh where, oh where, oh pal o’ mine Didst thou get that qt. divine. This jest seems to have something to do with osculation and the author endeavors to point a moral: He: Is your father home? She: Yes, in the next room. I He: Are you a ventriloquist? She: Silly, no. Oh! Um-mm-m—! MORAL: If they can't scream j while they're being kissed, they won’t when it’s ovar. Artificial aids to beauty have a de fender on the staff of “Case Brulo,” judging from this: Lives there a girl with pride so dead ; Whose cheeks were never touched with red Whose nose kept aye its virgin shine, Whose lip* were never touched by thine— Oh lipstick! This one appears in the column of “Advice to the Lovelorn:” TH E TIMESHREEoRDER published in the A^~M iV heart of | Q lam a young man 21 years of age, 1 have plenty of money, an auto mobile, and am fairly good looking, but I can get no one to go with me. What must 1 do? A.—You are either a prevaricator or have not given me full info. The “Case Brulo” seems not to stop at any subject, no matter how serious: “Violet’s new swimming suit near ly prove dfatal yesterday.” “Seven killed in the mad rush, I suppose?” ... “No no its button came off while she was signalling for help and no body dared to save her.” The hero of this anecdote seems to i be Mr. Pettyr, who it may be judged I lives up to his name: Nan: “Marie said a low-neck should go well with the new pearls she wore to the party last night.” Ette; “Oh—-it did—she was dated with Jack Pettyr.” Nan; ‘You speak from experience?’ Last but not least are the pictures, particularly one with its subject a young lady taking a b>h, who re marks something to the effect that her purity may be questioned but not her cleanliness.

SPRAY LAST PEACHES LAST TIME THIS WEEK Says the government and state peach laboratory at Fort Valley; “Pea<*h growers are advised and strongly urged to spray all Georgia Belles and Elbertas for the last time this* week. Start on Georgia Belles the first of the week and conclude with Elbertas the latter part of the week. Use self-boiled lime-sulphur and arsenate of lead or 80-5-15 dust. Hileys should have received this last spray last week, and will need no further attention. “The- peak of emergence from the soil of the new curculio generation has been reached, and egg deposition i« Georgia Belles and Elbertas will start within the next few days, hence the necessity of an immediate appli catio nos spray on these varieties.

Timmerman, Sr., who passed away at the family home there Sunday mroning at 2 o’clock after a brief ijjness. The services were held at the Plains Bap tist church, conducted by the pas tor, Rev. J. E. O’Quinn, with inter ment following,in Lebanon cemetery. The pallbearers were all close per sonal friends for many years, R. S. Oliver, W. L. Thomas, L. D. Wise, G. W. Montgomery, li. R. McGee, H. E. Kendrick, Ji W. Murray and A. Dodson. Ross IDean, of Plains, was in charge of trie funeral arrange ments. The floral tributes were ex quisite. The death if Mr. Timmerman, which has saddened the whole com munity, was unexpected. Seized with a very serious attack of acute indi gestion early Friday morning, he passed through the following night safely and it was then believed that he would recover. Saturday after -1 noon his condition was so improved that it was thought he was out of danger. But he took a turn for the worse Saturday night and death ensued about 48 hours after he was first stricken. Mr. Timmernten was born October 16, 1854, in Edgefield County, South Carolina. At ihe age of 12 years, jn 1866, he to Webster Coun ty, Ga., not far from the place of his death. In 1880 he was married to MiSs Alice Forth who survives, to gether with their five sons and one daughter, Miss Alice Ruth Timmer man, of Plains; and Messrs. Ed, Jr., Frank, S.

VACCINE CUTS TYPHOID HERE Dr Bond Urges Public To Accept Free Service To Prevent Fever Reports from the State Board of Health show that during the year 1921, 787 deaths occurred in Georgia from typhoid fever. That equals a death rate of 27.52 per 100,000. The report also shows that typhoid fever is on the increase. The counties where health activities were carried on the rate is lower than for the state-at-large. We were a little more fortunate in Sumter county for our death rate was only 12 per 100,- 000, and I attribute our reduction to the free use of vaccines and the in stallation of nearly a thousand sep tic tanks and fly-proof privies. The vaccine used to prevent ty phoid fever has been tried and is no longer an experiment. It is as satis factory as the vaccins used to pre vent smallpox. Those who have died of typhoid fever in Sumter county had not been vaccinated. It is esti mated that one death occurs in every ten cases of typhoid fever and that each case costs $200.00 or more, in dollars and cents, showing that Sum. ter county lost last year more than ten thousand dollars on account of this one disease, which is preventa ble. Don't wait until some member of the family is stricken with this mal ady. Be vaccinated now—it’s free. B. F. BOND, Commissioner of Health. PRICE FIVE CENTS.

SWH EDITION j STERN YEAR FOR LABOR REPORTED ASA.F.L.OPENS Open Shoo, Wage Cuta, Court De ciiion* And Other Important Issues Faced CINCINNATI, June 12. (By As sociated Press.) —The “open shop," unemployment, wage reductions, recognition of Soviet Russia, one big union, court decisions and injunc tions affecting labor formed the main issues that confronted the American Federation of Labor which opened its two weeks convention here today. No debate was on the program for the opening sessions. The record of organied labor’s ac complishments in "a year of unusual strife and unusual industrial depres sion" was laid before the forty-sec ond annual convention in the report of the federation’s executive coun cil. The report declared that Ameri can labor during the year not only suffered from the widespread unem ployment that existed but was beset “by opponents more active and de termined than ever." In addition to strictures on the conduct of employers in numerous cases, the report added explicit and pointed criticism of congress and* some state legislative bodies, declar ing such branches of the government to be "succumbing to a wave of re action.” Fault was found with the action of some courts, including the Supreme court, and with what was described as President Harding’s “proposal to regulate trade unions.” “It is with no little satisfaction in view* of these circumstances,” the report on the other hand declared, “that we are able to lay before this convention a report of achievement, a report of solidarity, a report of constructive planning, and a report thar o>ny THtfai»qmn!gry pb'FrFay~TK?" militant spirit with which our move ment has come through the years. The audacity of those Who have made it their business to attack in every possible manner the voluntary or ganizations of the workers has had no parallel in our country. AVhat our movement has been compelled to meet has been a condition in which the predatory powers have sought to break down all’ resistance in every quarter and to enrich themselves at the expense of the whole people. No experience has testified as eloquent ly to the fundamental soundness of our organizations and to the manner in which they serve the workers. We shall fight with a greater confidence because of the record that has been made.” M L. BRITTAIN NOT TO SEEK STATE JOB AGAIN Al LANTA, June 12.—M. L. Brit tain will retire from the office and work of state superintendent of schools at the end of this year. The announcement, made Sunday, hits been suspected for some weeks by Mr. Brittain’s friends that he would not stand again for re-elec tion and the additional belief, which he now states as a fact, that he haS an “increasing distaste for politics.” His statement came simultaneously with the release by him of his an nal report. Mr. Brittain has served in this state office twelve years and, besides the remarkable work he has done for educational advancement in this state he has the distinction of being the only state superintendent in the en tire South who has ever been twice elected president of the “Council of Forty-Eight,” composed of the coun try’s foremost educators.
