Americus friends of Roy Carter will,
be interested to learn that this for-!
mer local resident Is reported as 1
among those rescued after the sink !
ing of the United States torpedo de
stroyer Jacob Jones, in the North At

Only meagre details of his experi
ence have been received here, but !♦
was with a sigh of relief that many
in Americus learned last night that
his name appears among the list of
the survivors. Carter had been in the
navy several years, enlisting shortly
after leaving Americus, and is rated
as an expert fireman. How he escap
ed is unknown, and friends here anx
iously await expected letters telling
of his experience and the resulting
scene when the German tdrpedo sent
the Jacob Jones to Davy Jones locker.
