DEATH LIST STAGGERING
The News From Chile and Other
South American Republics Bring
Untold Stories of the Aw
ful Destruction.
There continues confusion of re
ports as to the magnitude of the dis
aster to Valparaiso caused by the
earthquaks shocks which began oil
Thursday, August 16 ail'd continued at
frequent intervals throughout that and
the next two days.
Dispatches received Jiere this eve
niug state that a moderate estimate
of the fatalities is 2,000 and that
tile property loss may boas high as
$25,000,000, which latter is greater,
than the loss at Sail Francisco owing
to the earthquake and the fire which
devastated that city last April.
A refugee who arrived at Santaigo
places the known dead at 100 and
other messages indicate that, the first
reports were greatly exaggerated.
Dispatches to the state department
at Washington places the fatalities •it
500. These conflicting statements
at this time cannot be adjusted, it
is evident that even yet confusion and
panic prevails and until order is re
stored it will be impossible to ascer
tain with accuracy the loss of life am.
property.
The dwellings in the city have been
abandoned by the inhabitants who
are existing as best they can in the
plazas and streets. Food is already
scarce and high, wather for drinking
purposes, is lacking and disease is
feared. The government is doing an
it can to bring in relief. The crip
pling of the railroads leading into Val
pariosa continue a factor in the situa.
tion for an indefinite period, relief sup
plies can only be obtained through
other means of transportation, the
seaboard affording the best of these,
At Santiago many of the best pub
lic and private buildings were wreck
ed- The loss of life there was aug
mented by the panic which seized
the people .many ol whom threw them
selves from the balconies of their
homes. The destructive force of the
earthquake warn distributed over a
large area of the country, many
towns sustaining serious damage.
Washington, Aug. 20. —The advices
from the earthquake zone continue
to bring bad news. A teiegiam from
Dima, [Peru, received this evening,
states that Hie entire island of Juan
Fernandez or Rotiitison G , 'usoe island
lias been wiped out. On this isianu
was a penal settlement belonging to
Chile.
Washington, Aug. 20.—The war de
partment has received a telegram
from Secretary Hoot at Buenos Ayres
announcing that lie has left that
city on account of the awful calamity
in Chile. The secretary stated that
he only limited his visit to a sim
ple call of condolence.
Valparaiso, Aug. 20 —The latest re
ports from ait sections of the earth
quake districts continue to bring in
terrible stories of loss of life and
property. The death list has gone
into the thousands and the property
loss is estimated at over $25,000,000.

OUTLET IS
NOE AN ISSUE
—t—
friend of Ihn Congressman
Asserts That No fight is
on Him
SOME VERT PLAIN FACES
The Politicians, Whistling to Keep
up Their Courage, Are Trying
to Force Congressman Brant
ley to take Brunt of it.
Mr. Editor; An effort is being
made so strenuously to transfer the
issue between Hoke Smith and the
brotherhood of candidates” for the
governorship to a fight between Hok.s
Smith and Col. Brantley in Bruns
wick that it: is well to ask ourselves:
wherein the antagonism arises?
Mr. Smith has made no fight on Col.
Brantley. Mr. Smith’s friends in
Glynn county are supporting Mr.
BranTToy, just as they did in the
past and just as they will do in the
future, because of his benefit us a
worthy congressman to bis home town
and its interests as the only seaport
in his district. This would be so aside
from Iris personal popularity at home.
Then, where l.<? the issue?
zbTlien partisans of Mr. Estill in the
county will surely find it difficult tn
explain wily Cos. Brantley needs "vin
dication'’ because of the fact that a,
majority of his friends and supporters
do not take to Ills individual choice
of the gubernatorial candidates.
it is the purest esseuce of humbug
gery that was ever attempted to be
worked upon intelligent voters.
When the point is reached that a
voter must follow his friend ip office
in supporting ids Individual frienu
seeking office lie no longer occupies
the .position of friend bat becomes the
abject tool, liable to discount when
needed.
Col. Brantley may ’aivj ms p-iliM
t-al enemies but it Is not because Hoke
Smith Is a candidate for governor and
Brantley is tor another candidate for
that office.
it is rather a discredit to any man’s
intelligence and independence that he
should be appealed to to subordinate
Ids political convictions to those of
Ids friend and while in- ..ha i/e ol
the Eleventh district to Col. Brantley’s
personal preference would be pleasing
to any man, yet we do not bedeve
that Col. Brantley would ask such sub
serviency just for self glorification.
No ,we are going to vote for Hoke
Smith and most of us are going to
stick to Brantley, probably when he
finds that the most sinister motives
against him will show up In the house
hold of his present most urgent fol
lowers.
The issues in this campaign cannot
l:e‘ void'u:.<-d in any such manner.
Brantley’s Friend.
Have enough civic pride to vote
against Estill. Ho has never been
the friend of Brunswick save when
he wanted her votes.
