MANY COAST TOWNS ISOLATED BY STORM FROM OUTSIDE WORLD S 3,000,000. The entire water front Is reported wrecked. • Piers were destroyed and ships were hurled Into the streets by the force of the wind. Houses were blown down and the streets flooded. These reports are brought bv fugi tives who have reached points of com munication by wire with ths outside world. Pensacola Is still cut ofT. Anxiety for Mobile. , Great anxiety Is felt for Mobile. The wires are still dewn While the wires In surrounding towns were working at Intervals yesterday, enough waa learn od to know that the storm In that vt Clnlty was of great violence. - Louisiana, along the Mississippi tlv er Is known to have suffered heavily. Reports received, however, give but a slight Idea of the damage. Water drtv en by the high wind from the gulf rolled up the river and overflowed the- whole country. Under the fllrcum- stances nothing but a miracle can have prevented loss of Ilfs. Houses Ars Unroofed. New Orleans escaped with a severe drenching and a property loss of about 87B.OOO, caused by the unroofing of buildings and destruction of a few bouses and old structures. ., Pears are enteitalned for about forty passengers who were on a boat, the Lady Amelia, on Lake Pontchartraln. . Numerous pleasure parties are known to have been out In small yachts among the Florida keys, beyond the reach of storm signals, and it la feared there . may have been loss of life among them. PROPERTY DESTROYED AT SELMA, ALABAMA. Special to The Georgian* , • Selma, Ala,, Sept. 38.—A heavy wind, accompanied by rain, haa prevailed In ifelma for nearly 24 houra. All wire connection, both railway, and commer cial telegraph companies, being cut off. hm no reporta of washouts or dain- *f0 are brought by the Incoming trains. The xmokeat*c(t 'Of the 'International Cdttoif Seed (ill Company, which whs nearing completion and had reached abuul SO feet, was blown down yester day, The heavy Iron falling on the . roof and crushing In the ginnery of ■ the company, Two of tlie gins were < badly ihunased. The damage to the alack and building Is estimated at • ab lUt 15,000. Many trees were blown down In Sel ma, and several roofa were blown off. Bo for no casualties have been report- hpeelsl to The Georgina. New Orleana, La., Sept. 23.—For the past 24 houra all effort! to reach the exposed towns on the coast, east and south of here, have failed. From Lake Catherine, eastward, these towns are: Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Missis sippi City, Biloxi, Oregn Springs, Pas cagoula and Scranton. These places fsce the Mlesleslppl sound, across which the wind has a long sweep. Some of them extend up to the brink of the sound which Is In places not mors than six to ten feet above the normal tea level. Many of these banks are more over of soft earth. Several Towns Isolated. Although the local papers have tried to reach these towns by roundabout telegrams northward Into the middle of Mlsalsstppl and thence to the coast, not an Intimation of the situation haa been received. Not only wee all rail and telegraphic and telephonic communica tion cut off with the Mississippi sound towns, but there was not any Imme dlate prospects of news by boat, a re sort which has frequently succeeded In the pest when storms have Isolated the sound towns. Apprehension was In creased by the fact that these pieces, beginning nt Lake Catherine, the scene of the flooding of the Louisville and Nashville tracks, and the farthest point eagt reached thus far, are much more sxpoaed to wind and water than the larger gulf cities which have harbors, he Mississippi river was anxiously The .... watched all day for the appearance of any one of a fleet of eight iron steam ers which are either due or overdue here. Wireless Station Abandoned. The wireless elation at the mouth of the river was abandoned early in the storm, the last report being that there wea about eight feet of water over the floor of, the operator's room. By long distance telephone New Orleans could reach only Baton Rouge and Houston, Texas, while the available telegraph wires ran to'Galveston, Houston and to Memphis. Railroad service north and west was uninterrupted. The damage reported |hu* far Is con fined mostly to the havoc of the tide driven by the wind upon the gulf coast to an unusual bright. At the mouth of the Mlesleslppl river pilots ere com pelled to abandon their tows. Twenty, live Austrian fishermen and their fam ilies spent the night In hosts on Don!- lots canal to escape the water, which Is rising over the Mississippi delta and threatening their ceblne. The rice fields are considerably damaged In this sec tion. No vessels have attempted to en- ter at the mouth of the Mississippi river since Tuesday night, but are rid ing out the storm In the open gulf. Railroads Receive No News. Louisville and Nashville officials said they were absolutely without advices as to the situation on their roAd east of Lake Catherine end do not know If their tracks are washed out cast of that point. A pile driver drifted from the Queen and Crescent tracks against the Louis ville and Nashville embankment, car- rylng down telegraph and telephone poles. Passengers arriving here over the Illinois Central tonight said that while the train waa atopplng nt Macon, Mias., a hotel collapsed there, killing two per sons. They said that heavy wind waa encountered at Macon. They had no further details. ' Spent Night In Boats, The worst damage In the city waa nt West End, a summer pleasure re tort, largely built on plera over Lake Pontchartraln and about 5 miles from the center of the city. Here the piers leading to the Southern Yacht Club were washed away, leaving the keeper, hie wife and three children maroon^l In the building. Boats from shore car tied the wife and children from Uielr dangerous position, but the keeper re mained at hie post. Portions of an amusement wharf were washed away, the water eating a path up to the foot on the lake bank, a shooting gallery and bath houses going Ip to the lake. Near West End Inhabitants of Buck- town, n gambling resort, were driven from tbelr houses, some ,jif which floated from their supports. Mllnsberg, another resort on the lake, was partly mibjnerged last night and today poles were sent them to prop up houses which appeared about to fall Into the waves. Much of the pop ulation of Mllnsberg spent Wednesday In boats. Southport, on the Mississippi river above the city, the force of the wind and waves caused two. coal barges to fill and sink while tugs had a hard struggle to save other barges from go ing down. At Little Wood, near Lake Pontchar traln, arid 8 miles from the city, T. Kongo, hie wife nnd a boy saved their lives last night by wading through wa ter which nt times was waist deep. Their house was blown down and they saw another house collapse In the wind. Great damage to rice crops Is also reported. Anti-Saloon League Holds Heated Mass Meeting.

About the same hour the night op erator at the Hapeville station was annoyed by seeing a prowling negro near.the station, and flred at him. S. A.

Many persons will find great help by leaving off the ordinary bread entirely and using In Its place Orape-Nuts.

There Is no possibility of this food assuming the form of wads of dough On the contrary.

Sept. 28.—The political situation In Texas prsaents some queer condition!, the like of which have not been witnessed In this state in years. One thing that makes It Interesting Is ths split In the Republican party, there being two state Republican tickets In the flsld. But the moat Interesting part of the situation Is that as to whether Joseph Weldon Bailey, Junior United States senator from Texas, should be ■ent back to the senate. Mr. Bailey, before th, evidence given by Henry Clay Pierce, wo* the Idol of the Dem ocracy of Texas, and anything within the gift of the people of this state would have cheerfully been bestowed upon him. Since the, charge has been published to the world that Senator Bailey, while representing the people of Texas In the highest legislative body of the-country, had also used his tal- snts, Influence and energy toward fur therlng the plan* of the Standard Oil Company, la more than many voters of Texas will stand for. Bailey Had No Opposition. Senator Bailey had nd opposition for renomlnstion during the primaries held on August 28, and as a result he was renominated by the Democrats for this high position. There were many voters In the state, however, who had charged that Senator Bailey was not true to his party, and he ran from 15,000 to 20,000 votes behind the ticket. Since the testimony given by Henry Clay Pierce haa become commonly known, this op- position has become more pronounced. At a mass msetlng of Democrats held In Wood county, a few days ago, reso lutions addressed to the representatives In the state senate and legislature were adopted asking them tn vote and work against Mr. Bailey being again sent to the senate. Meetings have been held at several other places In the state for the same purpose and a petition, which was circulated at Dallas. In the nature protest to the legislature, was signed by many people. Houston, Aus tin and other Inrger points in the state, have taken similar action, and the In dications. are that one of the hardest fought senatorial conteat* In the history of Taxaa will be witnessed when tho legislature meets next January. Fight Among Republicans. The tight among the Republicans Is also creating quite a great deal of In terest and the indications are that this party will turn loose more campaign funds this year than ever before. The "reorganized” Republicans, or those fighting the present state chairman and his adherents, are confident that they will poll more votes at ths No vember election than the ''regulars,” providing that their names are placed on the official ballot. Just at this time (he right of the new wing of the party to have their names placed on tho ballot la being contested by the regular faction, nnd the matter will not bs settled until the first Mon day In October, at which time the man damus proceedings Instituted by the re organizers to force Secretary of State Shannon to place the names of their nominees on th* official ballot will be heard before the supreme court of the state. if, FAINTS IN STREET E Veteran Educator Is Rest ing Fairly Well Friday.
