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 ) ' R : i | 3;10559“'3 e » # | IQUID fl . *VIVER| 1% ' 5-%‘."{‘ .

FOLKSTON. GA,, SEPTE MBER 2. 1909. 1,200 PEOPLE BROWNED Appalling Destruction Wrought By Flood in Monterey, Mexico. PROPERTY LOSS $20,060,000 For Seventy-Two Hours Rain Fell in Unprecedented Volume and Santa Cat arina River Overflowed Its Banks. :AAAAAAAAAAAA: A 1,200 PERSONS DROWNED; A A PROPERTY LOSS aeo,ooo,oom: A ety A Monterey, Mexico. —At noon A A Sunday it stopped raining for A A the first time since Thursday as- & A ternoom, and some idea of the A A horrors of the flood of Friday A A night and Saturday could be ob- A A tained. It was at first reported & A that 800 lives were lost in the A A disaster, but it now seems that A A the number will reach 1,200 and A A may be more, The river has fall- A A en considerably, and, while still & A high, the danger is now over, A & Conservative estimates of the A A property loss ploce the figures A Aat $20,000,000 throughout the A A city. A A In one school building ninety A A women and children were drown- A A ed. The women and children fled A A to the school for safety, but the A A water, reaching there, drove them A A from room to room until they a A were_all clustered in one room. A A Two priests were with them and A A while in the act of blessing them A A the walls fell and the whole 90 A& A were swallowed up in the flood. A A A 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, CABINET OFFICER RESIGNS.

Beverly, Mass.—The resignation of Ormsby HcHarg, assistant secretary of the department of commerce and labor, will be accepted, Secretary Na gel, at the head of the department, had an extended conference with President Taft, and the question of a successor to Mr. McHarg was dis cussed, Secretary Nagels recently received a letter from the assistant secretary, saying that he must adhere to his first intention of remaining in the de partment for a period of six months, This term will expire September the fourth. ) EXPLOSION AT KEY WEST. 12 Men Killed and a Score Injured When e ' Dynamite Let Go. | Key West, Fla—As a result of the #xplosion of 700 pounds of dynamite &t Bocachica, 12 miles from Key West, % the Florida Rast Coast Railway, twelve men are dead, five probably fatally wounded and at least a dozen Others are suffering from less serious dnjuries. * The explosion was caused by a member of the railroad construc- Hon force carelessly throwing a light | cigarette into a box of fuses.

When the explosion occurred the fif ‘teen men were standing in water four ieet deep and directly beneath them Was the 700 pounds of dynamite, feady for the blast when the men should stop work for dinner. ‘| According to one of the wounded, a Workman—one of the nine to meet in #tant death—threw his lighted cigar ®tte to one side, not noticing the fuses, which were connected with the Beavy charges of explosives beneath them.

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, Newsy Paragraphs. Associate Justice McKenna of the United States supreme court, isabout to retire on account of ill health, ac cording to statements by intimate friends of the jurist. Governor Gen eral James F. Smith of the Philip pines is mentioned a¢ the successor of Justice McKenna. The latter was ap pointed a member of the supreme court in 188 from California. * “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 ed through Omaha, Neb., on a chat tauqua tour., “There are ten thousand men in the United States who would make good presidents-—if they could be elected, What we need most is 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 idea how the pins came to be in her body, and her parents believe that when she was a little child she prob ably swallowed them, unknown to oth er members of the family, and that they are just now working themselves out, Colonel Duncan B, Cooper, who, with his son, Robin, was found guilty of killing former Benator Carmack in Tennessee, inberits $11,6556 from the estate of his brother, Willlam F.
