STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here And
There From All Sections Of
The State
Atlanta.—Fire of undetermined ori¬
gin started in the Kress building early
in the morning of September 24 and
swept through a large part of the city’s
central business section, causing dam¬
age estimated roughly between $1,-
500,000 and $2,000,000.’
The fire was first discovered short¬
ly before midnight spurting from the
roof of tlie Kress building, and rapid¬
ly swept over the McClure building,
spreading from there to the rear end
of the Childs hotel, the rear of the
L. F. M. building and the rear of
Eiseman’s. and for nearly an hour
threatened to destroy the entire block
between Alabama, Broad and White¬
hall streets and the railroad, endan¬
gering the entire business district.
Panic-stricken Childs hotel guests,
some only half awake and clad in night
attire, fled from the building as the
blaze grew in size and the flames dart¬
ed across the narrow alley between
the burning stores and the hotel.
Red hot pieces of roofing were swirl¬
ed up in the terrific heat waves gen¬
erated by the fire, and were dropped
in all parts of the central business
section, igniting canvas awnings on
the Citizens' and Southern bank, and
the Fourth National bank, blocks away.
Embers also started a small fire on
the roof of Park-Chambers-Hardwick
company.
A general alarm was turned in im¬
mediately on discovery of the blaze,
and all the fire companies In town
were rushed to the scenes. Fire Chief ‘ ,
W. D. Cody was summoned from his
bed and took personal charge of the
firefighters.
in this city by Rev. .1. R. Webb, pas
tor of Trinity Methodist church. He j
proposes that two hundred men do
mate one hundred dollars each to a
fund to purchase farm land for the
South Georgia college at McRae, and
Sparks Collegiate institute at Sparks,
Ga. These are two co-educational in¬
stitutions operated by the Methodist
Episcopal church, south of this state.
The purpose of such a purchase is to
provide a method whereby boys may
work their way through school. It is
suggested that the schools could broad¬
en their field of service if they could
find some method of supplementing the
small funds that many hoys have to
spend for an education.

Atlanta.—John B. Goode and Wil¬
liam H. Bad, two full-blooded Indians
from Oklahoma, were accepted at the
Atlanta marine recruiting station re¬
cently, according to Captain George
Bower, U. S. M. C. They were the
only ones out of seven applicants to
pass the examination. “We have a
Captain Best in the marine corps,”
said Captain Bower, “and in his com¬
pany there is a Private Wurst.
Wouldn’t it be an odd coincidence if
Goode and Bad should also be placed
In his charge?” The Best is none too

some recruits may be Bad, the Wurst

ger of the fair association this year.
Stlllmore Bank Has Reopened
Stillmore.—The re-opening of the
Planters bank of Stillmore is one of
the many indications of improved fi¬
nancial conditions in Emanuel county.
This bank has been closed for nearly a
year, but through the untiring efforts
of the liquidating agent, Frank H.
Greer, together with the officers of the
bank, it is again open and ready for
business. John N. Youmans has been
leected president and Frank H. Greer,
cashier.

ered In 1921.
Cane Crop Is Valuable
Thomasville.—Sugar cane growers in
this section are feeling very bright
over the outlook for the syrup crop
this season. It is said that fine prices
for syrup are expected and in many
cases have already been offered ahead.
The cane is in fine condition and it
will not be very long before it is time
to grind it. The specimens are fully
matured and sweet. Last year the syr¬
up sold for comparatively little and in
consequence the South Georgia Syrup
Growers’ association was organized to
landle the crop more successfully.
