Brief Hurricane 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
n ark 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.
Davbreak this morning found hun
•jieds of parents, children and rela
tives still standing virgil at docks of
the 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 city. 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 inore 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
Manhattan, left death and destruc
tion in its wake.
Torrential rains, then lightning fol
lowed the wind.
Hundreds of thousands of New
T orkers 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.

Flapper Fun Shocks New Orleans

T MAY NOT BE PURE THANK an want* but Urtle Serf below, nor want*
GAWD I’M CLEAN. ’ that little j ona .
Some of the illustrations from “Case Brulo,” the magazine of flapper
fun which has shocked New Orleans, with the lines. Also Helen Dymond,
managing editor of the paper, who takes the attitude, “Evil to him who evil
thinks. ’
NEW ORLEANS, June 12.—The
flapper has dashed in again where
angels fear io tread—this time into
the purveys of humor; And has
started a regular riot!
One-half the riot was caused b£
the rush to get the latest number of
“Case 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 “Case 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
starter! the frenzy and made the last
number a best seller despite the pro
hibitions laid against it. This one
rhymes:
Oft, ia the summer’s night,
With some one’s arms around me,
1 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,
thus in the summer’s night,
When Tommie,** arms are around
rue,
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 slude with soul so dead
Who never to himself had said:
Oh where, oh where, ch pal o’ mine
Didst thou get that qt. divine.
Ibis 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.
He: Are you a ventriloquist?
She: Silly, no. Oh! Um-min-m—!
MORAL: If they can t scream
while they’re being kissed, they
won’t when it's over.
Aitificial 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 lips were never touched by
thine—
Oh lipstick! - s
This one appears in the column of
“Advice to the Lovelorn:”

What must I 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 dfatai yesterday.”
“Seven killed iu the mid 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
■ be Mr. Pettyr, who it may be judged
| 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
j young lady taking a bath, who re
marks something to the effect that
her purity may be questioned but
not her cleanliness.

SPRAY I AST PEACHES
LAST TIME THIS WEEK
Says the government and state
peach laboratory at Fort Valley;
“Peach growers are advised and
: s trongly 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 1
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
lias been reached, and egg deposition
in Georgia Belles and Elbertas will
tart within the next few days, hence
the n< essity of an immediate appli
cation of spray on these varieties.

DEATH CLAIMS
E. TIMMERMAN
-*
Prominent Plains Citizen Suc
cumbs To Attack After
Rally
Many Americus friends attended
the funeral in Plains at 10 o’clock
Monday morning of E. 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 ail closj per
sonal friends for many years, R. S.
Oliver, W. L. Triomas, L. D. Wise,
G. W. Montgomery, h. R. McGee, H.
E. Kendrick, J. W. Murray
Dodson. Ross Dean, of Plains, was
in charge of the funeral arrange
ments. The floral tributes were ex
quisite.
The death of 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
■ 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. Timmerman was born October
16, 1854, in Edgefield County, South
Carolina. At the age of 12 years,
jn 1866, he moved 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. H. and Alvin of Plains,
and Louie B. of Americus.
Mr. Timmerman was a membef of
the Baptist church for many years,
and a deacon at the time of his death.
He was a consistent Christian and
served his church faithfully.
In 1917 he was elected a member
of the legislature from Sumter coun.-
ty, and served two terms, not offer
ing for re-election after his four
years had expired. At the time of
his death he was also a member of
the county Democratic executive
committee.
He was a citizen of Plains for thir
ty years, being one of the leading
citizens of the town, and was en
gaged in farming and the warehouse
business, in the warehouse being as
sociated with L. D. Wise as Timmer
man & Wise. He was known as a
friend to everyone in need, and dis
pensed much charity which never be
came known.
Besides the members of his own
family, he is survived by three broth
ers, J. W. Timmerman, of Plains;
Tyre Timmerman, of Terrell county,
and Will TiJhmerman, of Tampa, all
of whom were at his bedside when
the end came.

STERN YEAR FOR
LABOR REPORTED
ASA.F.LOPENS
Open Sboo, Wage Cut», Court De
cisions And Other Important
Issues Faced
CINCINNATI, June 12.—(8y As
sociateri 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
< il.
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 cireumstances,” 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
that only inadequately portray the
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. What 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.”
