DEAD IN VALPARAISO
NOW NUMBER 1,000
Social Cable—Copyright.
Valparaiso, Aug. 2.—The city to calm
today and the people are optimistic.
Carefull estimates place the property
loss at less than $100,000,000 and while
the death list will be awful, the first
reports, It Is now believed, were
ot- less exaggerated, and the best Im
pression now is that the number of
dead will be near 1,000 in Valparaiso
and perhaps as many more at other
points In the provinces which were af
fected by the shock.
The authorities are putting all the
able-bodied men to work clearing away
the wreckage and some progress is be
ing made. Martial law still is rigidly
enforced and short shrift Is given to
the crooks found guilty of looting.
There are still 60,000 people depend
ent upon the distribution of food and
while there are rations for them for
several days yet, the authorities will
be glad when new supplies begin to
come In.
President-elect Montt and retiring
President Fresco have been powerful
inlluences in getting the situation In
hand. News which comes in from the
surrounding country Indicates that the
heaviest damage was done in the pro
vinces of Valparaiso and Aconcagua.
Business houses are beginning to
open up again and plans are being dis
cussed for the rebuilding of the city.

BALDWIN COUNTY.
Mllledgevllle, Aug. 22.—Baldwin
county gives Hoke Smith 200 majority.
Vote Is light.
Reliable advtcea come from Savan
nah Wednesday that Colonel Walter
W. Shepherd, a resident of Liberty
county, but whoae law ofilce la In Su
vannah, Is running a phenomenal race
for congress from the First district
for the long term to succeed the late
Rufus E. Lester.
Some time ago Savannah had tacitly
decided to be "hands off" In the race,
.ml It was generally understood that
J, A. Brannen, a prominent attorney
of Statesboro, would be given the long
term.
Colonel Shepherd did not say any
thing, but ijulctly disappeared from
his accustomed haunts, and began a
Mill hunt. He worked quietly but ef
fectively, It seems, through the ten
counties of the First district.
According to the advices coming to
Atlanta Wednesday, the Liberty county
man Is polling a remarkable vote, with
splendid chances of receiving the nom
ination for the long term. Colonel
Shepherd was one term In the state
senate from that district, and he also
served for some years as Colonel Les
ter's private secretary. He Is about 35
tears of age, and said to be an aggres-
slt e, capable young man.
Colonel William Clifton, "the llberty-
lovlng cltlsen from McIntosh," seems
pretty sure of receiving the nomina
tion for the unexplred term, ending on
March 4, 1607.

o'clock, 665.
Voting opened up briskly at the
fourth ward polls Wednesday morning,
and within the first hour and a half
200 ballots were cast. The city and
county voting places were about
yards apart, and the Intervening space
was filled with heelers of the various
candidates. One .energetic partisan
had the name of hls favorite on the
widest part of a broom In* boxcar let
ters, and waved It at each approach
ing voter.
The first man to cast hls vote in the
ward for state and county officers
was H. Howto, and for city officials
was Hugh D. Carter.
No trouble of any kind had been re
ported at the polling places up until
2:30 o'clock. Goodwill was conceded to
have had the advantage earlier in the
day, but at this hour the Joyner men
claim that their candidate Is running
neck and neck with Goodwin and will
carry the ward. Both Dr. B. E. Pearce
and M. M. Turner claim to be In the
lead for councilman.
Hoke $mtth to easily far In the lead

been no fighting and only cne “cussing”
match within earshot of the noils. This
feature and the belief that there will be
a record-breaking vote cast are being
talked of widely.
It has been estimated tfiat betve.'n
1,000 and 1,250 of the possible 1,337
voters registered will visit the polls.
The gubernatorial race was settled in
the minds c: most of those who kept
close to the polls about noon, and since
that time the chief topic of conversa
tion has been the mayoralty race.
Much -monev has been flashed >n
both slues. Bets that Joyner would
carry the city were refused, and the
Joyner men refused money that Good-
win would c arry three or more wards.
It is believed that Smith will poll
three votes to Howell’s one.

to nothing.

Registration, 401.
City vote up to 2:30 o'clock, 298.
State and county voto up to 2:30
o’clock, 310.
The Eighth Is taking It serenely.
With the, smallest registration of any
ward In the city, the voters go quietly
up, cast their ballot and go away to
business. Very few workers or hang
ers-on were about.
At this hour It looks like a practical
split between Howell and Smith. Joy
ner to leading for mayor, and the vote
for oounty treasurer to so divided that
no one can tell who is leading.
Indications are that almost the en
tire registered vote will be polled.
