THE CYCLONE SEASON
Now in Full Force and General
Effect.
Two Persons Killed and Twenty
Wounded in Two Georgia Coun-

Serious Damage in Kansas and
Arkansas.

Eaton, Ga, July IA terrific cyclcna
clone swept across this and Morgan
counties about o'clock this afternoon.
But meagre accounts have been receiv-
ed. It is known, however, that two
lives were lost, and number of per-
sons severely injured, several of them
fatally.
At Wizards Station, on the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic railroad, every
house was
TORN TO PIECES.
Henry Adams, (white) and Bob
Hardy, (colored) were killed outright.
Buildings, fences and crops ON the Mar

the falling timbers. Perry is injured
internally, and will probably die. His
wife is in a critical condition. The

business was considerably below the
output. China is still the best buyer,
in which market specialties have been
we'll engaged There has been some
business for Calcutta and Bombay in
jaconets, but the inland demand has
been generally disappointing. Sui
other eastern markets have taken sew
eral lines of fine bleaching cloths
South America has been a small buyer
For the home trade distribution has
been fair and unsatisfactory. Export
sales have been almost confined to AIS
for Japan. English users buy from
hand TO mouth only. Stocks are grow
ing and margins dwindling. The Burn
ley strike has been settled. The dlvi-
dends declared this quarter so far are
a pleasant surprise, but are considered
mostly the result of orders taken early
in the year. Most concerns are now
working at a loss or at bare cost. EX-
ports for June, all eastern, show a
large shrinkage, while North and Cen
trail America and Argentina took con-
siderably more cloth. Yarn exports TO
Bengal and Burmula have doubled.
Other countries except Germany are
taking less.

The opinion is very exhaustive and

wholly imperative.
-. That when It's provisions were re
enacted in the penal code Of 1895. 1t
was still imperative for want Of some
court 20 try the offense.
So That the law was repealed by the

A. That there is now no law upon
The statute book of Texas prohibiting

payment or tender of the license fee
prescribed for such exhibition. there is
no lawful power in the State under
present laws to interfere with the eX-

Judge Clark gave the matter at issue
careful study and patient research, and
