FAMOUS SON OF GEORGIA.
Captain Butt of Augusta Now a Na
tional Character,
Augusta, Ga.—One of the most con
spicuous figures and at the same time
one of the most popular members of
the presidents’ staff on the trip across
the continent, is a native Georgian,
a man who began his career in an
humble way in the Empire State of
the South, and who has won his offi
cial spurs, so to speak, by a com
manding presence . and a will that
knew no such word as fail.
This man is Captain Archibald W.
Butt, who was once a newspaper re
porter in Augusta, Ga. He is now the
president’s military aide.
Captain Butt is now with President
Taft,«gnd will visit Georgia with the
presidential party this fall on the re
turn trip to Washington.
TO HARNESS TALLULAH FALLS.
An 18,000-Horsepower Development is
Planned for That Point,
Columbus, Ga.—The Georgia and
Alabama Industrial Index says, in its
regular weekly issue:
“The swift-descending water of Tal
lulah Falls, whose picturesque beauty
forms one of, the greatest natural at
tractions in the state of Georgia, are
soon to enter upon another phase of
gervice to man, for in addition to de
lighting his eye with their loveliness,
they are, in the form of utilized and
directed power, to administer to his
wants, The power rights at these
famous falls have been sold for SIOO,

opment is planned for that point, The
power will be transmitted through the
mountains of northwest Georgia and
on copper wires will race down to
Atlanta as electric current, there to.

Columbus Considers Proposed Stop

Columbus, Ga.—Columbus is much
interested in’ the suggestion that in
traveling from Birmingham to Macon
early in November President Taft
change his' original route and make
that section of his journey via At
lanta, instead of this city. |
Sinee the people here continue to
refuse .to recognize a pass-through as

him to pass through this city at all.

Macon, Ga.—Within the next week
developments in the interurban rail
way movement promise many good
things for the scores of business men
here and throughout the central and
southern portion of the state who have
been eager to gather assurances that
the lines will soon be in operation
Those who are closely associated in
the business enterprises state that by

‘general offices here will be made that

satisfaction,

union of interests between the local

FOUR DEAD AT NEW ORLEANS
At Mobile Streets Were Flooded By
Wind Driven Waters---Many
Washouts on Railroads.
Memphis, Tenn.—Fragmentary re
ports from points in southern Louis
iana and Mississippi evidence that a
severe tropical hurricane swept along
the Mississippi-Louisiana gult coast,
damaging shipping, wrecking the
more frail structures and serwously
impeding railroad traffic. New Or
leans was apparently the storm cen
ter.
From Biloxi and Scranten, on the
gulf coast of Mississippi, meager re
ports tell of the damage to suipping
and buildings along the beach and, so
far as can be ascertained there has
been one life lost.
The wind attained a velocity of 50
miles an hour at Natchez, Miss, the
power plant was out of commission,
putting the city in darkness. A num
ber of trees were uprooted, and sever
al buildings unroofed.
Along the Texas coast no damage
has, so far, been reported, and this
section apparently has escaped the
force of the storm. In western Lous
isiana at Crowley and Jennings, con
siderable properiy damage has result
ed. The greatest damage is to the
rice crop. Two-thirds of the unhar
vested crop is believed to have been
ruined,
New Orleans, La.—After attaining
a velocity of 60 miles an hour at New
Orleans, the West Indian hurricane
which struck the Louisiana and Mis
sissippi gulf coast is reduced in its
'intensity. It left in its wake four
dead at New Orleans and perhaps
others aleng the gulf coast, though no
definite advices of mortality in other
sections have thus far been received
here. The property loss in New Or
leans will exceed SIOO,OOO, and many
houses were unroofed and frail build
ings in numerous instances were par
tially destroyed, i
. Considerable property damage was
done along the river front. The storm
apparently moved inland to southwest

‘There was a heavy and continuous
rainfall all day. ‘
The new Louisville and Nashville
depot at the foot of Government
street was inundated, and Commerce
street, through which trains enter and
leave the city, was inundated for its
entire length aleng the city water
front. No trains were operated out
of Mobile over the Louisville and
Nashvilel Railroad. The Louisville
and Nashvilel tracks for a distance
of about six miles, three north and
three south of the center of the city,
were under water,
Biloxi, Miss.—The gulf storm struck
this city, with the wind hlowing for
ty miles an hour, continuing to in
crease in intensity till it reached 60
miles an hour. It is estimated that
the high tide and the wind wrought
damage to property between forty
and fifty thousand dollars.
Between Beauvoir and Debuys 500
feet of the track of the Gulf Coast
Traction Company was washed away
and another hundred feet is gone near
the Soldiers’ Home, and to the east
ward of QGulfport another 150 feet
were washed away, All the bath
houses and piers along the beach from
Gulapont to the home of United States
Seniitor Money, a distance of four
miles, were swept away. Three hun
dred feet of the electric car line at
Long Beach, Miss., were swept away
A pen containing 5,000 diamond
back terrapins, valued at $5,000, lo
cated on the back bay of Biloxi, was
threatened by the incoming tide and
many menyyorked to save the terra
pins, Twenty shrimp boats were out
in the storm, but a hoat arriving here
reported that they had made for Lake
Borgne canal for harbor.
The schooner Ruby and a whart
recently built by W, M. Hampton
were wrecked, The driveway, known
as “the Beach Road,” along the coast
in front of Biloxi, was destroyed, en
tailing a loss of fifteen or twenty
thousand dollars,
Pensacola, Fla.—Blowing steadily
all day at a velocity between fifty and
sixty miles an hour, the wind at night
fall increased to hurricane velocity,
Shortly before dark the weather hu

and all vessels in the bay that had or

Cleveland, Ohio.—Rather than loan

Jacob Fickel, a brewer, saw her sen

Mrs. Fickel embezled $593.76¢ from
the estate of Bertha Bosenhardt while
acting as guardian to the woman.
Judge Vickers scored Fickel because
he would not pay the amount. “Any
man who is half a man would do as
much as is asked of Fickel to save
the mother of his children, even
though he has no regard for her as
his wife,” sald the judge. .

FOREIGN MONEY FOR THIS COUNTRY.
Hundreds of Millions of Dolalrs Are
Coming From Europe,
Washington, D. C.—“ Hundreds of
millions of dollars are in England,
France and Germany awaiting invest

as soon as the investors can be as
sured of absolute federal regulation,”
This &tatement was made by Com
missioner Franklin P, Lane of the
interstate commerce commission, who
has just returned from a trip of near
ly three months in Europe, He visit
ed England, France, Germany, Switz
erland and Italy, and studied the rail
road situation in all of those coun
tries,
“Men of money ‘abroad,” continued
Commissioner Lane, “are satisfied
that America is on the gve of a phe
nomennl era of prosperity, and are
ready to invest their money in any
stable enterprise in this country; but
what they want is some assurance
from the government that their in
vestmients will be protected in a fair
way. They would like to see the cap
italization of our railroads hedged
about by federal leglslation, so that
the purchaser of stock would be as
sured of getting what he paid for,
With the enactment of a law te pre
