Prominent Citizens in Every Walk of
Endorse the Candidacy of I
ROBT. F. MADDOX FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER
To the Voters of Fulton County:
We earnestly appeal to our fellow voters and tax payers of Fulton County to join with us in electing Hon. Robt. F. Maddox County Commis
sioner to succeed Hon. Hubert L. Culberson. •
The County Board fixes the tax rate for every tax payer, rich and poor, in Fulton County, and pays out the County revenues, w 7 hich amount
yearly to a very large sum, and besides is charged with the duty of building, paving and keeping in repair the public highways, the erection and care
of the public buildings, and generally with administering the affairs of this populous and growing county.
Every tax payer is interested in keeping down the tax rate and in having an economical business administration of the County’s affairs.
We feel that the County is fortunate in having an opportunity to secure the services in this position of a ,man of Mr. Maddox’s high character,
business ability and large experience. ,
He is not tied to any faction and would administer this responsible trust in the interest of the tax payers, large and small, of all sections of the
bounty. He would be the Commissioner for the whole County and for the whole people, and not for any mere section or class.
He is worthy, capable, and will prove impartial and efficient in the public service. We urge you to go out and vote for him on October 3d.

MOBILE TO TAKE CARE
OF STORM SUFFERERS
Continued from Page Ons.
Dauphin Islands It Is now proposed to
remove the women and children to
Mobile, housing them In the Providence
Infirmary. As conditions now exist
the unfortunates are without shelter,
as many as 47 living In one room, and
the chances of epidemic growing.
Haln which has been falling has add-
rfi to the sufferings along the coast.
Father Shea, who ts In charge of the
Relief work at Coden and vicinity, Is
providing for as many at the limited
•applies permit.
Relief Will Be General.
It Is now believed that the larger
number can bo cared for within the
next few days and made possible by
assistance from other cities. Dona*
■ions from a distance are expected to
reach here tomorrow and then the re-
■ lef will be more general.
Conservatives estimate that It will
be at least ten weeks before condi
tions nrc normal along the coast. In
file meantime plans are to be made for
furnishing the t oyster catchers In the
Islands with boats that they may re
fume their traffic and be self-support
Bark Gone But Craw Safe.
^ At an Immense citizens' meeting
' ast nl Hht It was decided to establish
1 commissary on the coast and one
acre, as the relief uyrk could be car
ried on more rapidly. The cutter
«inona left here today with stores and
provisions for the sufferers, which will
he distributed In the outlying districts.

Every day adds to the list of dead

partially ceaned along the entire gulf
conut. The government’ll Joes to light
hounes, channel lights and vessels and
other maritime necessities along the
gulf will be more than $2,000,000. Thii
Is a very conservative estimate con
sidering the damage here and In Pen
sacola.
The railroads are big financial suf
ferers by the wind and water. Their
loss alone will be in the millions. The
first train from the north over the
Louisville and Nashlvlle reached Mo
bile today. Service to the city was re
established upon a limited scale. No
service will be established to New Or
leans before Friday nt the eArllest.
Road Subscribes $1,000.
The people of Mobile are subscribing
to the relief fund, notwithstanding
their own losses. The Mobile and Ohio
subscribed $1,000 today through Vice
President E. L. Russell. In the words
of Mayor Lyons, of Mobile: "What
the coast people need Is provisions,
clothing and medicines and it is needed
quickly.”
8torm Did Not Matsrislizs.
The terrific storm which was pre
dicted to strike Mobile and vicinity
last night did not nrtiterialize. Weath
er conditions, however, are still un
settled and there Is no telling when a
storm may break loose. Nearly every
family In Mobile had some one on
watch until daylight In order to sound
the alarm in case another death-deal
ing tropical storm made Its appear
ance.
A report Is current here that nearly,
100 United States soldiers were drown
ed and Fort McRae, near Pensacola.
Fla., was washed away by the hurri
cane W’hlch swept the sea In shore.
Two additional denths are reported
from Heron Bay. They are William
W. Wellberger and Samuel Hahn, who
were drow'iied off the schooner Never-
tell. Their bodies were washed ashore.
Bride Now • Widow.
Stories of narrow escapes from the
Btorm district are coming In here
hourly. Robert Stafford, who has Just
arrived, reports three additional deaths
by drowning from the schooner Ethel.
Stafford floated on a log for 12 hours
and was washed up on the beach at
Grand Bay, a distance of 12 miles from
where he started. Stafford’s escape Is
remarkable, as he has only one leg.
The drowned men were Gharles Lit

TWENTY-FOUR DEAD;
LOSS
IN PENSACOLA, FLA,
Hundreds of Laborers Arc
at Work Rebuilding
Ruined City.
By B. S. BERNARD.
Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 2.—Great alarm
was felt here yesterday when advice
was received from Washington that
another storm headed this way from
the san\e direction as the previous one,
but further advice partially banished
all fear.
Thousands of men are already at
work clearing the debris and rebuild
ing the demolished places, and it Is be
lieved that In a few days everything
will be smooth again.
The saloons remain closed and abso
lute order prevails. The citizens and
chamber of commerce committees ‘as
sisted by ministers of all denomina
tions are doing good work, and thou
sands of dollars’ worth of clothing,
food and shelter havo already been
provided for the destitute. More than
one thousand persons have already
been relieved. Great fear is felt, how
ever, that disease will set In, as It Is
believed many bodies are still under
the debris. Every precaution Is being
taken to prevent this. The police are
arresting all negroes who refuse to go
to work. The Louisville and Nash
ville brought In 500 negroes today to
rebuild the wharves and otherwise re
pair the damages sustained.
The revised list of dead now reaches
24. Governor Broward has wired 5iay-
or Bliss offering to issue a proclama
tion for relief, but It Is believed that
no outside help will be necessary.
L083 IN PENSACOLA
WILL REACH $5,000,000.
Special to The Georgian. ,
Pensacola, Fla, Oct, 2.—Three addi
tional deaths from the hurricane have
been reported, swelling the list to 33.
The mayor has issued a statement that
the estimate of $5,000,00») loss Is con
servative.
It is understood that Miss Parsons,
the young lady reported as having
been drowned near Mary Esther, has
been found ullve.
Destitute Cared For.
In the city every person Is being
cared for, and no aid will be asked
from outside cities. Many prominent
men and women are working with the
relief committee and providing food
and clothing for the destitute, and ev
ery able-bodied man who has no work
will be compelled to work.
There Is an abundance of work for
laborers, the Louisville and Nashville
alone having over 1,000 men at work,
and the officials propose to see that
there are no loafers or Idlers at this
time.
The saloons are still closed by order
of the mayor, and the club rooms were
ordered to close their bars.
Two Trains Washed Away.
The Louisville and Nashville learned
that two solid train loads of freight,
with the engine, had been lost about
ten miles from the city on the P. A A.
division. The trains were left on the
tracks by the crews, when the water
put out the engine fires, and were
washed Into the bay and lost, the en
gines being burled In the sand.
It Is believed that fully one-third of
the vessels benched can be gotten off.
Rear Admiral (’apps, chief of the
bureau of construction and repair, ar
rived here tonight, and will go to the
navy yard to look over the situation
and determine W'hat Is best to be done
there with the many war vessels and
docks that have been wrecked.
Build Greater Pensacola.
It is known that the destroyed por
tions of the city, wharves and mills
will not only bo rebuilt, but In the
place of the old ones will be erected
larger and more commodious ones. Im
mense saw-mill plants will take the
places of those destroyed, new and
handsome buildings are to be erected
at once on the sites of those so badly
damaged as to be condemned and a
new Pensacola will be emerged. In the
course of a few months, from the
wreck of old Pensacola.
Within a few' days the Chapm
Merritt Wrecking Company, of New
York, will have Its entire fleet of
wreckers working here.

MISS WESTMORELAND
PISSED AWAY TUESDAY
It Is rather unusual for a wife to

8UNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.
From The Atchison (Kane.) Globe.
No one ever succeeded In training the
dog out of a dog.
A poor speller Is all right these days;
he’s In advance of the college profes
sor.
Ever notice that "funny" looking
people have "funny" looking company?-
The greater thing In the world Is po
liteness. And no schooling Is necessary
tn be agreeable; simply have a little
onslderatlon for others, and be quiet
n«l modest.

Absinthe Bonbons,
From The Philadelphia Record.
"Look out for absinthe In bonbons,"
says a large candy dealer. "They ar«
on the market and they are loaded
I doubt If any are on sale as yet It
this city, but they have been offered t<
us and I have seen samples of them
I have no doubt they will soon be seet
here. It’s likely that their stay wit
be short, however, for the authorltlei
and the temperance people will sure!]
be after them. Four of the kind o;
bonbons that were sent to us woulc
make a pretty stiff drink of absinthe
and an innocent customer might ge
laid out cold before he knew It. Thos-
sent to us were from Europe, where
I understand, their manufacture ha
resulted from certain restrictive leg
Islatloo concerning the sale of alco
hoi."
In real life the only difference be
tween a "romantic” wedding and tl
ordinary wedding Is that the poll,

wedding for the paper and the socle;
reporter writes up the ordinary kind.
