Death In the flames was the terrible fate of Miss Babe Hogue, an aged lady residing Ill Hast Americus, at 3 o'clock Monday morning, life being extinct when other occupants of the house, at tracted hy her groans, reached the room, but too late to render any as sistance. Miss Hogue was sitting in front of the open fireplace, her chair and cloth ing enveloped In fire. Mr. John Oliver, with whose family she resided, was first to view the shocking scene and call other mem bers of the household to come to Miss Hogue’s rescue. , But It was too late, as life was about extinct and the agony endured by tho poor lady was ended. The fire was extinguished and a physician summon ed, but the victim of the flames was al ready beyond human aid or endeavor. Just how the Are was communicated to her clothing Is a matter of surmise only. Miss Hogue, who was well advanced in years and feeble as well, oftlmes sat late at nlgbt by her fire, and the sup position Is that her dress caught from the open grate and, enveloped'by the flames, she was too weak or too much frightened to call for help. She was about 5S years of age and had long resided in Americus. Tho funeral took place from her home Monday afternoon. COUNTY MAP IS NOW ASSURED. Surveyors Here Ready to Enter the Field.

Value of the Eleven Schools Now Ex ceeds Million Dollars. The Agricultural College In Ameri cus, the Third District school, Is easily taking rank as one of the leading in stitutions of the eleven established by the state. In point of attendance It al ready stands at the head of all of the colleges. Prof. Joseph Stewart, state agent for the University of Georgia, has compiled data with regard to the prog ress made by the eleven district schools whfch began operations In Georgia but little more than two years ago. The value of the school properties $1,000,000. In their llrst year they received from the state $4,400 each, which was increased to $0,600 and last year to $9,600. This money came from funds arising from the Inspection of oils and fertilizers. The Legislature also gave ‘them $2,- 000 each from the general fund In the treasury for 1909. During 1909 these eleven schools produced $10,000 worth of farm prod ucts on 725 acres under cultivation. The attendance for the school year In all schools aggregated 1,008. Sumter county Is finally to have map, one that will give the full de tails of the county and cover the re quirements of all who are Interested I the business affairs or the agriculture or the development In anyway of the county. Messrs. R. E. L. Freeman and Thom as H. Greaney, representing tho Hud gins Company, map publishers of At lanta, arrived Monday and will begin work on the proposed map at once. A preliminary canvass is being made for subscriptions to tho map. This will take but two or three days. There Is hardly a doubt but that a sufficient number will be disposed of. The two surveyors came prepared to start without any unnecessary delay on the field work. The map will be on a sufficiently large scale to show every feature of the country distinctly. The militia districts, the school districts, the rail roads, the streams, the public roads, the rural free delivery mall routes, the churches, school houses, bridges, the principal plantations, all of these will be displayed upon the map. Once It Is completed It will be possible to deter mine the exact location of every resi dence and plantation In the county. The map will be of great value to citizens generally. Its need has long been felt and the fact that In three or four months one will be In readiness for delivery to subscribers Is agreeable news to hundreds of business men, planters and others. It Is not unlikely that this company will also make a proposition to the City Council to prepare a new city map In co-operation with the city engineer.
