SAVANNAH MAN
TALKSON HOTELS
Kiwuis CM, Heart laterettiu
DiccaHNR tf Hotel NeeA, Here
Grawtk of City Msttei
Friday evening at the regular
meeting of the Kiwanis club, Thomas
Sapphold, well-known civic leader of
Savannah, spoke (enthusiastically
with regard to hotel needs of the city
and indicated methods that might be
Used to secure a hostelry conuuensu-
ate with the growing population and
the state institute ns.
Mr. Sapphold’s talk wra built up
on these three question': Do you
need a hotel? Can the project be
made profitable? Can the necessary-
funds be secured?
“With the 6,00 people hen* who
have outside connection* you have
more than 6,000 potential guests for
a good hotel,” said the speaker
“Then the traveling men who would
spend the week-ends here would add
materially to the city’s finances if
a new, up-to-date commercial
tel were available.” Mr. Sapphold
said further that a good hotel, when
needed, always- aids existing hotels,
in that more people would be drawn
here and they would remain for
longer time. Last, he stated that it
seemed to him that all the necessary
crprtal was available in Milledgeville
to construct the needed hotel, with
out any outside aid.
The Public Affairs Committee
competed of Lee Jordan, E. E. Bell,
Dr. T. K. Hall, Fred Starr, and J.
A. Horne will make investigations
and report to the club at a later
meeting.

FLAMES DAMAGE
HATCHER BLDG
Fire Discovered in Junior Order
Quarter, on Third Floor. Quick!,
Extinguished
A fire of unknown origin broke
out at Hatcher’s Hardware Store
about 1:30. Friday. The damage
done was much less than the excite
ment occasioned by the flames.
When attention was first called
to the fire by- smoke billowing from
the windows, the alarm was turned
in hastily. Though the fire
panies responded promptly the flames
had made good headway and by the
time the engine arrived, the entire
third floor was in flames.
The promptness and ability of the
firemen were rewarded soon, for the
flames were conquered eventually
by the two powerful streams of wa
ter.
The floor where the fire originat
ed was used aa the lodge rooms of
the Junior Order of American Me
chanics and the Knights of PythiaS.
The furniture and regalia were I
ly damaged. *
The aec'nd floor, utilized by
Baldwin Blues as an armory,
damaged only by water. On the
first flo.tr, a large hardware stock,
in the establishment of Mr. R. W.
Hatcher, was also badly damaged.
While the battle against the flames
was underway, Mr. W. R. Dunham
was struck and fcriously injured by
a bursting hose. Mr. Dunham’s left
leg was broken in the accident. Mr.
Nat Knight was also knocked to the
pavement in the excitement Both
men were carried to the doctors
clinic where they were given imme
diate attention and were later car
ried to their homes. Mr. Knight, in
jured only slightly upon the head,
was able almost immediately to re
sume his duties as mechanic at the
garage of Mr. Ralph Simmerson. Mr.
Dunhim will be confined to his home
some time.
The Hatcher Building is one <
the largest and most handsome in th
city and it ia a cause for thawagb
ing that it was not more seriously
damaged.
MRS. REESE ENTERTAINS KI-
WANIS club.
Mrs. Tom Reese entertained the
Kiwanis Club at the recent meeting
with two readings. Mrs. Reese is
one of the most popular readers of
the city- She has also been most
successful in etching pl«y» »nd
teaching expression. ^ . J
Unavoidable accidents arc ex
cusable at all limes. Such an acci
dent a* this has caused one day's
delay in publication to the regret
of the editors especially when
such a charming group of young
ladies were directing the editor
ship this week.
On Saturday afternoon, a heat
ing unit in the electric pot of the
Linotype machine burned out. An
S. O. S. was rent to New Orleans,
the nearest point that one of the^c
units could be secured. The unit
arrived Tuesday, causing a delay
of one day .ind a half in the
composition of the paper, there
fore we could not get the paper
from the press, before Thursday
instead of Wednesday night as
is the usual program.
The newspaper that ha* only
one machine is out of luck when
something fails to operate.
We were compelled to leave out
a number of well written articles,
treating interesting topics and
subjects. We will however, in
future issues of The Uniop-Re
corder carry these articles giving
full credit to the authors.

the few Civil War veterans present
Col. George S. Roach, president of
G. M. C., commended the local Chap
ter for choosing a church in wheih to
hnvc the ceremony and a minister
for the speaker, since both wer
appropriate in the light of the Godly
life of the gentleman whose memory
was to be honored.
Rey. F. H. Harding of the Episco
pal church led the opening prayer.
In addition to tho music of the G.
M. C. band, two numbers were given
by a quartet from the Presbyterian
church with Miss Maggie Jnkins at
the organ, and the sophomore glee
club of G. S. C. W.. dircctod by Miss
Alice Lenora Tucker, sang a memo
rial to Lee.
Rev. Livingston E. Roberts, pastor
of the Baptist church, spoke on Lee
from the standpoint of hts heritage,
his strict adherence to duty, his gall
antry as a gentleman, and his bear-
ing as a general.
Because January 20 is tho bith
day of Stonews'l Jackson, a portion
of the program was devoted to him

wall Jackson’s Way,”, given by Miss
Marsh Sandford.
Rev. A. G. HanL t.f the Presby

ed the automobile and, with the two
other negroes, proceeded to take a
ride through tho city—a ride that
cama to an untimely end at the juac-
of Wilkeraon and West Hancock
streets. Driving at a high rate of
speed, in the effort to avoid a car
occupied by Raleigh Lawrence,

ing down one of the whiteway posts.
Tho car was badly wracked, but
.he negroes* escaped without injury.
They were p*>n»rtly art*sted and
placed in the county Jail where tfc< j
are awaiting further developments.
