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, 000, and an 18,000-horsepower devel 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. turn the wheels of industry, i NO RECEPTION AWAITS TAFT, Columbus Considers Proposed Stop Near Visit. 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 a viist or even a near visit, they would not suffer any keen disappoint.- ment if the president so shape his af fairs that it will not be necessary for him to pass through this city at all.

Cities in Southern and Central Por tion of State to Be Connected. 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 October 1 announcements from the ‘general offices here will be made that will be received with a great deal of satisfaction, } This will probably mean that the union of interests between the local street railway company, the interur ban lines and the Central Georgia Power Company is so well planned that only the business formality of passing the boards of directors and the stockholders in each company will be the only remaining duty to be ac complished, A good fellow is a fellow that's rath. er expensive to his near relatives, FOLKSTON. GA., SEPTEMBER 23, 1909. Pensacola, Mobile, New Orlean Are Harried By Hurricane. < 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 ern Louisiana, Vefiity of wind at New Orleans was the most intense in the history of the local wea er %qreq,ui. E eo S e ’agzv o , i : throes of the tropical storm for a day, but oriy mildly tiii after nightrall. ‘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 reau displayed the hurricane signals and all vessels in the bay that had or could get up steam hurried across the ‘bay to a cove for shelter. Ocean ‘ going steamships anchored in the bay, | SO e T 'REFUSED TO SAVE WIFE FROM PRISON. Cleveland Brewer Would Not Pay His Wife's SSOO Fine. Cleveland, Ohio.—Rather than loan his former wife SSOO, which would have kept her from going to prison, Jacob Fickel, a brewer, saw her sen tenced to the penitentiary for two years, Sentence was suspended. 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. . \ - BANKERS CONDEMN POSTAL BANKS, Legislatation ls Passed Guaranteeing 4 " Bank Deposits. ~Chicago, Ill.—After five days’ con. sideration and discussion of financlal pioblems of greater or lesser import, the delegates to the thirty-ifth an nual convention of the American Bankers’ Association selected Los An geles as their next meeting place, and adjourned until the fall of next year, ] Among the results of the confer énce of bankers, numbering close to 5,000, and representing every state il the union, the practically unani mous condemnation of postal savings banks and legislation guaranteeing bank deposits stands out distinctly, On the afirmative side, strong sen timent “favoring the establishment of & central bank for the entire country received approval from many bank ers, and was advocated in the annual address of the president, George M. iteynolds of the Continental National Bank of Chicago. ~ Different groups of the bankers in the section meetings came out very )strongly in tavor of permitting na ‘tlonal banks to establish separate sav ings* bank departments with funds segregated from the other interests of the bank and saving deposits spe callly protected. | A resolution pledging the associa tion to seek legislation looking to the establishment of such secregated say ings departments tailed of passage, and was referred to the currency com mission for consideration. In the opinien of some of the offi cers of the association, one of the Breatest results accomplished was the awakening of interest in the need of LCo-operation between the comptroiler ©f currency, the federal bank examin ers, the state bank examiners, the learing houses and the directors of Sanking inseitutions, on the careful ‘and intelligent examination of banks, oth national and state. - The need of constant vigilance and Increased exactness in bank examina tions was the burden of an address by James B. Forgan of Chicago, in which he declared his perfect accord With the plea for co-operation in bank examination made by Comptroller Murray earlier in the convention, The movement for the establishment ¢t uniform bills of lading,which would be safe as negotiable instruments, re ceived impetus from the convention and strong endorsement of the neces ity of an ample cash reserve in bank ing institutions was voiced. © Before adjournment the standing law committee made its report recom. mending that the association advo ite legislation in all the states to % «~the making of a false state ment to obtain credit; to punish the making of derogatory statements af fecting a bank; to define the erime of burglary with explosives and fix the punishment for it, and legislation rel ative to the payment of deposits in trust, Without opposition, Lewis E. Pier son of New York, former vice presi dent, was electéed president of the as sociation, and F. O, Watts of Nash. ville’ was made first vice president, being advanced from the chairman. ship of the executive council. Secretary Fred Farnsworth of New York; Treasurer P. (. Kauffman of | Tacoma, Wash,; Assistant Secretary William G. Fitzwilson of New York, and General Counsel Thomas B. Pa ton of New York were re-elected by a unanimous vote. No definite date was fixed for the convention in Los Angeles next yar, The 1910 convention will be held, however, between October 15 and No vember 15. 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 ment in American railroad securities 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 vent overcapitalization, American railrcads would have no difficulty in cbtaining in Europe all the money necessary for their development.” | Bishop Seth Ward Dead.
