THE WORK OFTHE STORM
Crops Severely Damaged by Wind
ano Hail.
Adairsvide, Ga., June 8.- -The
section lying between this city and
Calhoun suffered much from the
storm of wind, rain and hail last
Monday. The General couise of
the wind was southeast, though
there was somewhat of the cyclo
nic feature in its movement. After
a heavy rainfall there was perhaps
lhe worst hail ever reen here at
this season of the year.
In many places the ha i Intone
were as large as hen eggs. Wheat
in shock was badly scattered,
while that still standing was
blown flat and then pelted by the
hail. Corn and cotton were strip
ped or beaten into the ground. The
cotton especially sustained seri
ous permanent injury. Much will
have to be replanted if a full crop
is made. The crops were in fine
condition, and now it is disheart
ening to look over tne devastated
fields.
The farms of J. P. Dyar, War
ren Stewart, A. M. Cox, J. W.
Gray, Mrs. Williams, Jeff Heard,
Mr. Murphy, J. P. Kinman and
others, which have been described
as being in such a fine conditn n,
were in the main track of the
storm , and their losses are h°avy.
A rough estimate of the damag
by this storm is SB,OOO to $12,000
In the Pine Log neighborhood
the storm was very destructive, in
some places vegetation being al
most totally obliterated.
A Street Car Attacked-
Milwaukee, Wis., June 8. —An
attack was made last night on a
car of the Howell street extension
by an unknown party firing from
behind a clump of bushes. The
motoiman, John E. Breen, was
fatally wounded, and Conductor
Schwartz seriously injured.
There were about 3U shots fired,
and the car was riddled with bul
lets. The shooting is supposed to
be the outcome of the recent
strike, and W. J. Garrigan, a
striking motorman, and John
Walters, a moulder, were arrested
on suspicion of being concerned
in the assault.
Enplneers Massacred.
Athens, June 8. —It is reported
here that Kurds have massacred
several French, British and Ger
man engineers who were employed
on the railway between Smyrna
and Kassaba.

ft KLUSTER OF
BULLS EYE SHOT
<
Yon have often heard the polit
ical enemies of the present office
holders in this county say that
the court house ‘‘ring” held office
by the combination with the negro
vo’ers. Now it does seem to me
that after Saturday’s battle, and
the complete victory of the old
ticket, that we will hear no more
of chat cry.
*
* *
You will remember, too, that, in
Saturday’s white primary there
was a very heavy democrat
ic vote for, 1 presume all of those
who voted were democrats, because
those who fought the ‘‘ring’’ and
managed the fight stated that on
ly democrats would be permitted
to vote. I think that in general
elections, if these same men could
be induced to manage, that Floyd
county’s democratic majorities
would take on princely propor
tions .
* *
*
The negroes, it is true have al
ways voted heavil} with tbe old
ticket. That is natuaai. The ne
groes who often, or whoever need
help of any sort, known by ex
perience, where to go and who to
appeal to.
*
* *
But the race is over and the
i
victory has been won and lost,and !
yet,l just simply want to say this,
the gentlemen who led the fight
for the various officers have put
up one of the pluckiest fights 1
have ever witnessed.
» *
•
I am free to admit, and do sa
very frankly, the Reform ticket
candidates aave been defeated with
smaller majorities than I had cal
culated upon. This, in my opinion
’8 due generally to the fine gener
alship of Mr.V. T. Sanford, tbe
hustler, who opposed'Mr. Will Be)-
siegks nomination for re-election
I had no idea that Vine., Sanford
was such an organizer. Had there
been another such on his ticket
the majorities of Saturday would
have been yet smaller, and some
of them would have changed col
umns.
*
* -k
Had Vince Sanford been backed
up in the city by all his friends,as
he was bv a few individual’s es- i
- , I
forts,and had he been more selfish
and less loyal to his entire ticket,
his own majority would have been
different. I say this, as the only,
democratic news paper in Rome
that fought for Will Beysiegel—l
say it as I stand by Mr. Beysiegel
and his hard.fought for and honest
majority. Vince Sanford is a
whole team and is as untiring as
is any thoroughbred that ever
guarded a wagon. He needed the
help he had a right to expect —
some help he failed to get.

the necessity of a categorical dec

M. Hanotaux ; d ed that the
government of Great Britain had
also urged that the treaties be
tween Madagascar and foreign
powers existed until the annexa
’ tion of that island was proclaimed
by rrance.
The attitude of the government
1 of France, he continued, had al*
readv had a good result, as it had
received an entirely favorable r<-
ply from the United States, in
which was the very important fact
that ihe government of the United
States recognized that the former
' treaties between Madagascar and
! foreign powers were annul'ed if
that island was converted into a
French colony.

Harmans Has Been Traced
St. Louis, June S.—Rev. Francis
Hermanns, of Salt Lake City, ha*,
it has been announced, been lo
cated by Chief of Police Harrigan
and Chief of Detectiues Desmond
in a city not over twelve hours’
ride from St. Louis.
Those who are in a position to
! know say that Hermanns is either
in Cinoiunati or a small town six
miles from Indianapolis, where he
is under disguise as a florist.
Hermanns was at the I nion
Station, in this city, about May
ill. The police have traced his
movements since then, and Chief
Harrigan admits that yesterday
he sent a telegram to Chief of Po
lice Pratt, of Salt Lake City, in
forming him that Hermanns had
bveu located, and telling him that
if the Salt Lake authorities would
send enough money here the St.
Louis police would bring about the
fugitive criminal’s appprehension.
Hermanns was traced to St.
Louis by means of two baggage
checks, which were issued from
the baggage room at the Kansas
City Union Station on the even
ing of May 10. The description of
the man to whom these checks
were given tallied precisely with
that of Herman s.
