were killed outright, three fatally in

wounded by cyclone which swept tn,
country for distance of two miles il
this county at 7:aO o'clock last night
The cyclone passed four miles south @

Those killed outright are: J. Cocoon

John Banks, H. o. Clements, infant

ones which have, been verified, it is Ger

way of the storm nothing was
left Standing. Hundreds of peo-
pie escaped through fleeing to
their cyclone caves. The frame house
in which John Banks lived, about six
miles southwest of here, was swept
away. Every member of the family OF
six people were injured and Mr.. Banks
was killed. It is believed that three OF
his children will certainly die.

was crushed by timbers and his house
blown away with only the foundations
left standing. The infant, child of
Henry Batemar was struck on the head
by n hailstone while in Mr.. Bateman's
arms and instantly killed.
The disastrous work was that of a
cyclone, which was accompanied by the
most wonderful hailstorm which was
ever known in this section. The cyclone
seemed to nave slowly, but it warped
and twisted everything in it's path.
Telegraph poles and trees were snapped
at their base as if so many rank weeds.
Some very miraculous escapes followed.
Many suspected a cyclone and fed
to their caves. OF all the escapes re-
ported, however, that of farmer by
the name of Dyer was the most remark
able.
Dyer's entire family was sick. He
lived with his wife and three children
in a frame story and half house,
which was picked off its foundation and
carried twenty-five. feet. His invalid
wife was in bed and with her was an
infant. Although the furniture was
turned topsy-turvy Mrs. Dyer and child
were safely deposited in the bedclothes
without even a severe jolt.

DEBTS AS A BASIS,

state Bank Notes Must Necessarily BE
BASED On Debts - Give Us National
Money.
It is given out Chat Secretary Carlisle
is in favor of repeating the Sherman
silver purchase law, and of repeating
the tax on state banh circulation. 1t
is Intended that states shall grant
charters to corporations, and that the
government will guarantee thcGnotes.
Our objections, in brief, are:
First-Debt,
The basis" of the notes--Svhat?
Debt.
A state without debt could have no
notes of its own! Tfat, in itself, would
be an encouragement to keep in debt!
Or, at least would be an inducement
for bankers to have corrupt l@bby at
every meeting of the @cgislature, to
work through schemesoof extravaganza
in order to not only keep the state in
debt, but to increase indebtedness in
order b furnish them with basis for
their notes. The basis is debt. The
people must be kept in debt, and forced
to pay usury. in oeder that Shylock may
have Il basis for his notes!
!. Uncle Sam should issue all money,
everything in the shape of money in
the United States Let him issue prom
ises toAeceive, not promises to pay.
Let these promises to receive fiat
money! be receivable by the govern
ment for any and sll debts due it, and
let them be declared "A legal tender ia
payment of any eaad all debts, public
and private.
Such money will be ''ssdeemed" every
time they are passed over to Uncle Sam
in payment of taxes, etc.
They would be far better than any
state bank money could possible be
and their cost would be. nothing in COM
parison to state bank notes. The man
in Maine or california would kno1
they were ''gsDd.
National bank or state bank issues
are IN the interest ST Shylock.
