Last of Georgia Counties Have
l
Made Reports. l
GAIN IS OVER $20,000,000
‘Total Taxable Values in Georgia Reach
Atlanta, Ga.,—Twenty million two
hundred and forty-one-thousand nine
hundred and seventy-nine’ dollars is
the exact gain upon the county digests
in the taxable property of the state
as compared with 1908.
The last of the digests have been re
ceived, and the result was prompt
ly made up by Captain “Tip” Harrison,
The last digests received, each of
which showed a gain of the amount
stated, were the following: Dooly,
$70,240; Richmond, $121,553: Bartow,
$191,554; Washington, $187,187. :
Owing to scme slight errors in addi
tion a new digest is being made for
Butts county, but that will not change
the result more than a few dollars
either way. .
The foregoing ~does not include
the gain in railroad and corporation
property returned to the comptroller
general, which was approximately
$243,000.
This makes the total taxable values
in Georgia for 1909 $725,867,404.
ANTI-BLAGK ROOT COTTON.
State Entomologist Has Produced Va
riety Which is a Resistant. .
Atlanta, Ga.,—Prof. A. C. Lewis,
Assistant state entomologist of
Georgia in charge of cotton culture,
has succeeded in raising a resistant
variety of cotton which promises to
entirely eradicate black root in this
state.
At ‘the last session of the general
assembly of this state, that body ap
propriated SIO,OOO with which to carry
on the work to fight this dreaded dis
ease, which State Entomologist E. L.
Worsham estimates is costing the
planters of Georgia $250,000 annually,
and through the medium of this re
sistant variety, which will be dissem
inated throughout the infected tarri
tory, it is believed that the black root
disease will be entirely destroyed by
the time this appropriation is used
up.
The resistant variety of cotton is
now being grown in Sumter county,
and so far has been suecessful in
warding off the ravages of this dis
ease,
Theé planters of Georgia are watch
ing this fight with a great deal of in
terest, for the black root disease
kills the cotton entirely, so that not
only the lint, but the seed are lost.
STATE RIFLE TEAM RETURNS.
Georgia Men Shot at Wrong Target at
Camp Perry.
Atlanta, Ga.,,—Somewhat discon
solate over their failure to make a
better showing, but determined to “do
better next time,” the rifle team
representing Georgia in the national
shooting match at Camp Perry, Ohio,
returned to Atlanta, 3
The team ranked third in Class C,
being led by Texas and Alabama. One
of the reasons why they failed to make
a better showing was that they got
tangled up on one occasion with the
wrong target and altho they shot it to
pieces the score did not count, |
In spite of the fact that the team
did not make the showing that was
thought possible, the men did very

AAAAAAAAAAAAADL
Monterey, Mexico.—Twelve hundred
persons drowned, 20,000 homeless and
property to the extent of $20,000,000
is the result of a flood which struck
this city.
The scene in the flood-swept ‘sec
tion of Monterey is one of utter deso
lation, Four city blocks on the south
side have completely disappeared,
For seventy-two hours rain fell .in
unprecedented volume throughout thig
section, and the Santa Catarina river
rose gradually. At first it was thought
that there would be no loss of life,|
but the water reached a height never
before attained and swept houses from
" The electric light plant was put out
of commission, and the complete dark
ness was an added horrer. Cries of
the drowning could be heard, but the
onlookers were powerless to render
aid.
When daylight came the scene was
indescribable. All through the flood
ed district groups could be seen hud
dled on the tops of 2-story buildings
entirely surrounded by a tumulting,
seething mass of water.
One by one these houses disoppear
ed with their human freight, Nothing
could live in the wild current of the.
Santa Catarina river, which was rush.
ing at the rate of 20 miles an hour.,
The great steel plant at Monterey
suffered a loss of near a million dol
lars by the flood, and the smelter of
the Mexican Land Company is |cut off
fror: the city and submerged. It ig
estimated that the loss at this plant
will be over three million dollars.
The Santa Catarina river runs almost
directly through the center of Montes
rey, Along its right banks is located
the suburb of San Luisito, inhabited
by the poorest element, It was in this
section that the greatest loss of life
occurred, for the greatest part of the
barrio, or suburb, is composed of one
story adobe buildings.
When the flood waters struck these
buildings they collapsed as though
composed of paper and buried their
inmates beneath a mass of debris in
such a manner that they had absolute
ly no opportunity to escape and were
drowned.
Many families, having experienced
previous floods, remained in their
dwellings until compelled to seek
refuge on the roofs, but too late, for
they found themselves entirely sur
rounded by water and absolutely at
the mercy of the raging stream,
. Several floods of the Santa (Cata
rina river have previously been expe
rienced, but nothing so severe as the
present and not attended with any se
rious loss of life,
For many months throughout the
year the Santa Catarina river is a dry
bed, absolutely devoid of water, but
during the ralny season it becomes an
important stream. For the past 48
hours such a deluge of rain had fallen
that the stream reached unprecedent
ed proportions, and, as its waters rose,
it completely inundated the poorer
section of the city and forced the in
habitants to seek shelter on the high
er portion of the .city, which begins
about three or four blocks from the
river banks,

~ HARRIMAN ALL RIGHT.
Magnate Breaks Long Silence in Re
: ‘gard to Physical Condition.
~ Arden, N. Y.—Edward H. Harriman,
urged by weary representatives of the
press who have been camping eabout
his mountain home for a ' week,
came out with a statement that he
was all right.
Though brief, the stgtement is
straightfordward and explicit, with
perhaps a touch of patient resentment
at the surveillance to which he has
been subjected and a request that re
porters withdraw, not soc much for his
saKe, but for his friends, who have
been intercepted daily coming to and
from his residence by zealous inter
viewers eager for the latest bit of
information, It concludes thus
frankly:
“If there should be anything se
rious, I will let the press know, and,,
as I have never deceived them, I ask’
that the press now withdraw its rep
resentatives and rely on me.”
The letter was so characteristic of
Mr. Harriman’s affable attitude to
ward ,newspaper representatives, an
attitude which was marked when he
underfent the strain of a lengthy in
terview on the day of his return, that
most of the men who have been here
during the scare over his illness, re
turned togew York, relying on onis
word,

Justice McKenna. The latter was ap

* “It doesn’t take as much sense to
be a president as it does to be a sen
ator or congressman these days,” said
Congressman Champ Clark as he pass

tauqua tour., “There are ten thousand
men in the United States who would
make good presidents-—if they could

senators and congressmen who wil]
look out for the poor common people.”
A few days ago a bent and headless
pin was taken from the arm of Miss
Adelina Wyckoff, eighteen years old of
Patterson, N. J., and since then six
teen similar pins have been extracted
from the arm, Miss Wyckoff has no
