Charleston, S. C., Aug. 28—Via
Summerville, S. C. —Seven persons
known to be dead, many injured and
property damage of more than sl,-
000,000 seems to be the sum total of

Tom Dooly, drowned.
In addition to the above the Cassi
dy family, number unknown, caretak
ers at the Wappoci Phosphate Works,
are missing, and are believed to have
been drowned.
People on Island Safe.
Great relief was felt when it was
learned late today that the people on
Sullivan’s island were all safe, hav
ing been taken off by the ferry boat
Lawrence, which tied up over night at
the Mount Pleasant wharf.
The harbor is filled with the wreck
age of small boats, schooners and
launches, many piers are washed away
along the water front and in the city
the streets are strewn with fallen
trees, roofs, fences and other debris.
Among the principal buildings damag
ed are the customs house, post office,
St. Michael’s church and the Wahoo
fertilizer mills, which were practically
ruined. The street car, electric, tele
phone and fire alarm systems are en
tirely out of commission.

NEW HOTEL
FOR DALTON
REAL SOON
RUMOR HAS IT THAT THE BIV
INGS ESTATE WILL BUILD ONE
ON CORNER OF KING AND
PENTZ STREETS.
■l' r~ I -
The Argus learns upon good au
thority that the Bivings estate will
erect a sixteen room hotel on the cor
ner of King and Pentz.
An effort was made to verify the
rumor but as Carl Bivings was in
Rome and Dr. Troy Bivings was in
Atlanta The Argus could not get into
communication with either in time for
the issue of today. It is known that
an offer has been made the Bivings
for its rental as soon as it can be com
pleted. There is not a more desir
able spot in Dalton for a hotel than
the one at this corner. The Argus
knows enough to say positively that
a new hotel will be built soon and
thus add much to the present lack of
hotel accomodations. The hotel will
>e equipped with all of the modern
requirements. The details that The
Argus is possessed of will be verified
in a day or so. At any rate the new
mtel will not be built a day before
it is needed.

HON. GORDON LEE.
Mr. Lee in a letter to a Dalton friend
makes himself clear on the Sher
man-Johnston Highway.
That Hon. Gordon Lee did endorse
the proposition to do what he could
to have congress appropriate money to
build a pike road from LaFayette to
Atlanta by the way of Rome, Buchan
an, and Waco, is said to have been
admitted by him in a letter to a Dal
ton friend.
Mr. Lee did not however, make any
effort to change the Sherman-John
ston route or get an appropriation for
such a change. He merely said he
would make an effort to got the gov
ernment to aid in the building of the
road on the west side of the Seventh
congressional district. This action
on the part of Mr. Lee does not mean
that he will not also do bis best for
the Sherman-Johnston highway. Os
course, there can be no objection to
Mr. Lee wanting to help all he can.
It is believed that the text term of
congress will be more of a good roads
one than any heretofore and Mr. Lee
will no doubt be one of the leaders
in the movement.
The Rome Tribune says the drinking
cups must go. Well, we always pre
ferred the old-fashioned gourd any
how.
