Anxiety for Mobile. Great anxiety Is felt for Mobile. The wires arc still down While the wires In surrounding towns were working at intervals yesterday, enough was learn ed to know that the storm In that vi cinity was of grent violence. Louisiana, along the Mississippi riv er Is known to have suffered heavily. Reports received, however, give but a ellght Idea c-f the damage. Water driv en by the high wind from the gulf rolled up the river and overflowed the whole country. Under the circum stances nothing but a miracle can have prevented loss of life. Houses Are Unroofed. New Orleans escaped with a severe drenching and a property loss of about 875,000, caused by the unrooting of buildings and destruction of 'a few Ileuses and old structures. Fears are entettalned for about forty S isenger* who were on a boat, tho dy Amelia, on Lake Pontchartraln. Numerous pleasure parties are known to have been out In small yachts among the Florida keys, beyond the reach of storm signals, and It Is feared there may have been loss of life among them. PROPERTY DESTROYED AT 8ELMA, ALABAMA. Special to The Georgian. Selma, Ala., Sept. 28.—A heavy wind, accompanied by rain, has prevailed In Salma for nearly 14 hours. All wire connection, both railway and commer cial telegraph companies, being cut off. Ityt no reports of washouts nr dam age are brought by the Incoming trains. The smokestack of the lnternallonnl Cotton Seed Oil Company, which was nearing completion and had leached about 8tt feet, was blow n down yester day, tho heavy Iron falling on the •roof and crushing In the ginnery of -the company.

Fla., It Is known that that city and others were devastated by a fearful West In dian hurricane that swept southwest ern Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and the eastern coast of Florida. Reports from Pensacola say the city was wrecked and In flames and that at least fifty persona were drowned. The hurricane today Is blowing with undlmtnlshed fury. Nearly all the towns In the stricken country are cut off from communication by wire or rail. Flames Reported at Mablla. No word has come from Mobile In thirty-six hours, and It Is feared there f|as been great loss of life and proper ty there. The last direct report from Pensacola said the city was wrecked, Special to The Georgtaa. New Orleans, Lsl, Sept. 28.—For the past 24 hours all efforts to reach tho exposed towns on the coast, east and south of here, have failed. From Lake Catherine, eastward, these towns are: Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Missis sippi City, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Pas cagoula and Scranton. These places face the Mississippi sound, across which the wind has a long nweep. Some of them extend up to the brink of the sound which Is In places not more than tlx to ten feet above the normal sea level. Many of these banks are more over of soft earth. , Several Towns Isolated. Although the local papers have tried to reach these towns by roundabout telegrams northward Into the middle of Mississippi and thence to the coast, not an Intimation of the situation has been received. Not only was all rail and telegraphic and telephonic cnmmunlra tlnn cut off with the Mississippi sound ■owns, but there was not any Imme diate prospects of news by host, a re sort which has frequently succeeded In the past when storms havs Isolated the sound towns. Apprehension was In creased by the fact Hint these places, beginning at Lake Catherine, the scene of the flooding of the Louisville nnd Nashville tracks, and the farthest point east reached thus far, are much more exposed to wind and water Ilian the larger gulf cities which have harbors. The Mississippi river was nnxlously watched all day for the appearance of any one of a fleet of eight Iron steam ers which are either due or overdue here. Wireless Station Abandoned. The wireless station at the mouth of the river was abandoned early In the storm, the last report being that there was about eight feet of water over the floor of the operator's room. By long distance telephone New Orleans could reach only Baton Rouge nnd Houston, Texas, while the available telegraph wires ran to Galveston, Houston and to Memphis. Ballroad service north and west was uninterrupted. - The damage reported thus far Is con fined mostly to the havoc of the tide driven by the wind upon the gulf coast to an umisunl height. At the mouth of the Mississippi river pilots are com pelled to abandon their tows. Twenty- live Austrian fishermen and their fam ilies spent the night In bents on Doul- lots canal to escape the water, which is rising over the Mississippi delta and threatening their cabins. The rice fields are considerably damaged In this sec tion. No vessels have attempted to en ter at the mouth of the Mississippi rlvgg since Tuesday night, but are rid ing out the storm In the, open gulf. Railroads Receive No News. Louisville and Nashville officials said they were absolutely without advices as to the situation on their road east of Lake Catherine and do not know their tracks are washed <yit east of that point. A pile driver drifted from the Queen and Crescent tracks against the Louis ville and Nashville embankment, car rying down telegraph and telephone poles. Passengers arriving here over the Illinois Csntral tonight said that while the train was stopping at Macon, Miss., a. hotel collapsed there, killing two per sons. They said that heavy wind, was encountered at Macon. They had no further details. . Spent Night In Boats. The worst damage In the city was at West End, a summer pleasure re sort, largely built on piers over Lake Pontchartraln and about 5 miles from the center of the city. Here the plera leadlne to the Bouthern Yacht Club were washed away, leaving the keeper, his wife and three children marooned in the building. Boats from shore car rled the- wife and children from their dangerous position, but the keeper re malned at his post. Portions of an amusement wharf were washed away, the water eating a path up to the foot on the lake bank, a shooting gallery and bath houses going Into the lake. Near West End Inhabitants of Buck- town, a gambling resort, were driven from their houses, some of which floated from their supports. Mllneberg, another resort on the lnke, was partly submerged last night nnd today poles were sent them to prop up houses which appeared about to fall Into the wnves. Much of the pop ulation of Mllneberg spent Wednesday night In boats. At Southport, on the Mississippi river above the city, the force of the wind and waves enused two coal barges to fill and sink while tugs hsd a hard struggle to save other barges from go ing down. At Little Wood, near Lake Pontchar traln, and 9 miles from the city, T. Kango, his wife and a boy saved their lives last night by wading through wa ter which at times was waist deep. Their house was blown down and they saw another house collapse In the wind. Great damage to rice crops Is also reported. Anti-Saloon League Holds Heated Mass Meeting.

A piece of bread lhat is dry, white and very light In weight seems to the thoughtful person like so much foam or other useless and non-nourlshlng pro- duct. If one rolls a piece of moist, light bread or the Interior of a biscuit be tween the Angers, a ball of dough Is the result, with an appearance of solid ity that makes one question how the gastric Juices of the stomach can dis solve such a wad. It la small wonder that such food creates havoc In the way of fermenta tion, gas and consequent disorder. Many persons will And great help by leaving off ihe ordinary bread entirely, and using In Its place Grape-Nuts, in which the starchy and nitrogenous substances have been thoroughly and K rfactly cooked at the factory l>efore Ing sent out.

Unless drastic measures are taken by the council relative to the saloons In Atlanta, and unless the special com mittee appointed to Investigate the aa. loon licenses revokes a goodly number of the licenses at Its meeting next Tuesday, there will be, In all probabil ity, a prohibition election within the next thirty day*. At a meeting of the Anti-Saloon League of Atlanta, held In the Wesley Memorial church - Friday morning, a strong sentiment toward holding a pro hibition election was unmistakably shown. In attendance at the meeting were some four hundred member* of the league and citizens. Three resolutions, as follows, were passed^ after Impassioned speeches by a number of prominent citizens and min isters: "Be it rtaelvad, That the question of circulating the petition calling a local option election for prohibiting tho sale whisky In Atlanta b* postponed, waiting the aotion of th* oity council noxt Tuesday.” • "Bo it resolved, That the sans* of this meeting is that the postponement sug gested is not. a surrender, but that ths Anti-Saloon League pledges itself never to atop in tho fight until tho sale of whisky is swept from the city of At lanta, state of Georgia,” "Bo it resolved, That it is tho sense of this moating of the Anti-Saloon Laagua of Atlanta that council at its next masting make permanent th* rev ocation of all saloon licenses.” At times the meeting bordered on a love feast and at times there was shown a division of sentiment between those who wished for the election to be called without delay nnd those who wished to await the action of council on the saloon licenses. In the absence of President W. R. Hammond, of tho Anti-Saloon League, J. H. Makes was selected chairman. A. C. Ward, state secretary of the league, was elected secretary. Dr. J. E. White, pastor of the Second Baptist church, wa* the first to he recognized. He opened his speech by presenting the first resolution, an print ed, and another, which was later with drawn. Twelve Would Stump City. I have received a tetter froth a mem ber of the Georgia ' legislature,” con tinued Dr. White, after rending the resolutions, “which pledges twelve members of thst body to stump Atlan ta In the causo of prohibition.' Dr. White then stated that he be lieved that the events of the past few days would causa the overthrow of the ■jaloon. He mentioned • what tho city council hnd done lately In the way of regulating the liquor traffic, calling at tention to the passage of the ordinance prohibiting chairs nnd tables In sa loons,. that prohibiting the sale of li quor In restaurants, nnd stated that 67 saloons were now on the black list. "Most of these,” said Dr. White, arc under the control,of R. A B. They own these places and place men In there, saying that financial results must be produced. The effect Is that the bnr-tenders sell all the liquor they pos sibly can lo whites and blacks alike, attempting to hold their positions." He nlso declared that the Atlanta Brewery was at the back of many of these "hole* of Iniquity.” "I expect to see the time when there Is not « bit of liquor sold In Georgia. The sentiment against liquor traffic Is spreading and gaining strength rapid ly," said the speaker. He then stated that there were several ways of light ing the devil, nnd stated that to cope successfully with the saloon men the league must go at It In n rational way, ami that In tills manner the support of nil Inw-abldlng and good citizens would rally to the support of the league. Oth erwise. even If the election were a sue- cess, those who voted for It during this time of general high feeling would pull In nn opposite direction Inter. He then suggested thnt the league await the action of the council. Rossar Fears Negro Vote. Luther Rosser stated, while support ing the resolution that no Immediate action should be taken os to holding an election, that such election at the pre»- ent time would enuse another riot. That both sides would probably pull for the negro vote, as had been th* ease In the last prohibition election and that this would be fatal. Captain English also championed the resolution and the deferring of action until later. Dr. A. R. Holderby, pastor of the Moore Memorial church, was the next to speak, and also approved the resolu tlon. - Dr. W. W. Landrum, pastor of the First Baptist church, stated thnt It was the flrst time for the last ten years that he had witnessed such an audience at a prohibition meeting. "I have been seeking for a bright side to the dark picture of the past few days and I have found It this morning," he atated. "Georgia haa a brighter moral future than ever before." • "It le Time,” Some On* 8ald. Dr. Landrum then advocated the de lay of definite decision aa to the elec tion. He stated that he was thankful for Georgia, for the committee of ten, and for the council, "bod's holy spirit must be getting Into the city council," he said, and some' one in attendance said, "It (a time." voice from the audience then asked: "Dr. Landrum, did you ever have the chance to Incorporate th# prohibition plank In that of the Demo cratic platform and refuse* I under stand you did.” Dr. Landrum declared that he did not. and It was ruled that further per sonalities would not be permlsalbte. Dr. M. J. Cofer, of th* Wesleyan Advocate, advocated the passage of the resolutions. He stated that 64 men could have stopped the riot Satur- BRYAN OFFERS TO STOMP STATE FOR YU, HEARS Nebraskan Declarfes He Wants Editor Elected Governor of N. Y. Oklahoma City, O.

He de clared that while It would not be the Intention to take advantage of any ex citement the league did not Intend to allow the saloons to remain open. Mr. Upshaw declared that there had been a marvelous reverting of senti ment toward prohibition. "Just the other day I waa In the office of one of the best-known attorneys In Atlanta who led In the light against prohibi tion at the laat election and he stated that If It came to a show-down he would vote against the saloon. "That person,” said the speaker, "waa J. J, Spaldihg." Mr. Upshaw stated that he waa op posed to latitude and longitude In the whlaky question; that whisky would make a brute out of the white man aa Well as the negro. He stated that the aaloona known as the respectable bars should be closed as well as the others. "The aesthetic son of wealth that would dare to have a bacchlnalean revel and take away from the poor man a com mon drunk Is the Incarnation of selfish ness."

FLOOR WAX. “Butchers,” “Johnson’s” and “Old Englishat the GEORGIA PAINT AND GLASS CO., 40 Peachtree St. Dallas, Texas,*Sept. 26.—The political situation In Texas presents some queer conditions, the like of which have not been witnessed In this state In years. One thing that makes It Interesting Is the split In the Republican party, there being two state Republican tickets In the Held. But the most Interesting part of the situation Is that aa to whether Joseph Weldon Bailey, Junior United States senator from Texaa, should be sent back to the senate. Mr. Bailey, before the evidence given by Henry Clay Pierce, was the Idol of the Dem ocracy of Texaa, and anything within the gift of the people of this state would have cheerfully been bestowed upon him. Since the charge has been tubllshed to the world that Senator lalley, while representing the people of Texas In the highest legislative body of the country, had also used his tal ents, Influence and energy toward fur thering the plans of the Standard Oil Company, la more than many voter* of Texaa will stand for. Bailey Had No Opposition, Senator Bailey had no opposition for renomlnatlon during Ihe primaries held on August 28, and as a result he was renominated by the Democrat* for this high position. There were many voters In the state, however, who had charged that Senator Bailey waa not true to hi* party, and he ran from 15,400 to 20,006 votes behind the ticket. Since the teetlmony given by Henry Clay Pierce has become commonly known, this op position has become-more pronounced, At a mass meeting of Democrats held In Wood county, a few days ago, reso lutions addressed to the representatives In the state senate and legislature were adopted asking them to vote and work against Mr. Bailey being again sent to the senate. Meetings have been held at several other places In the state for the same purpose and.* petition, which was circulated at Dnllas, In the nature of a protest to the legislature, was signed by many people. Houston, Aus tin nnd other larger points In the state, have taken similar nctlon, and the In dications are thnt one of the hardest fought senatorial conteata In the history of Texas will he witnessed when tho legislature meets next January. Fight Among Republicans. The fight among tha Republicans Is also creating quite a great deal of In terest and the Indications are lhat this party will turn loose more campaign funds this year than ever before. Th? "reorganized" Republicans, or those fighting the present state chairman and his adherents, are confident that they will poll more votes at the No vember election than the "regulars," providing that their names are placed on the official hallo*. Juat at this time the right of the new wing of the, party to have their names placed on the ballot Is being contested by the regular faction, and the matter will not be settled until the flrst Mon day In October, at which time the man damus proceedings Instituted by the re- organisers to force Secretary of State Shannon to place the names of their nominees on the official .ballot will he heard befqre the supreme court of th# ,F, FAINTS IN STREET E Veteran Educator Is Rest ing Fairly Well Friday Morning. »;• Major W.
