Forest Fires Ravage Central State Wrecking Towns and Railways
Widespread fires devastate the central region destroying Clinton and multiple lumber facilities, utilities, and homes. Bets to centuries old losses include 2,000,000 feet of logs and 1,000,000 feet of lumber, with towns like Walkerville wiped out and aid dispatched from Rex City. Rain may ease fires, but danger remains. Three men, including Charles Ozburn, face imminent hangings for murder in Atlanta, with sentences scheduled through July.

EWS AT PUTNAM AND SCHLEY ALLIANCE HISTORY
A report from Putnam notes William Cottle’s failure to appear in a Dooly county case as he awaits a preferred charge from the grand jury.

Jernigan, with community sympathy expressed. A Cordele-Arabi incident describes armed men and railroad tensions over work disputes, ending with a quieter scene today.
