Distress in the StOrm-swept Section.
Other Matters.

WaYcross, = Ga, Oct. 4.--Innumerable
tales of suffering continue to come from
the storm-swept communities of Charlton
and Camden counties, Georgia, and Mas
sau and Baker countless Florida, on the
ST. Marys river. Not only is the white
population in the pale of suffering, but
the black population. Those families that
were left homeless are becoming more
and more distressed. Some of them are
staying with families that cannot AFFORD
to keep them. Their hosts have small
houses in most cases that are barely ade-
quate for their own families, and their
means are too limited to allow them to
stand the expense of caring for their des-
titute neighbors long. The question that
confounds them all is, How are the des-
titute families to rebuild their houses and
support Themselves" With neither
money nor credit, the question may con-
tinue indefinitely to present itself. The
appeal that reached Waycross Thursday
from billiard in behalf of the half a
hundred destitute families in that vicin-
lty has met with some little encourage
ment, something like $40 having been con
tributed to the relief fund up to yes
terlay noon. The people of Waycross
have not been canva ssed at all for sub
scriptions to the fund but the list has
been Kept at the store of b. II. Levy Bro.
&c Co. Had a solicitor called on the people
during the past few days several hun
breed dollars might have been raised.
From the reports that have reached here
it would seem that if relief is not speedily
sent to the sufferers their condition will
be terrible. Hundreds of whites and
blacks are thrown out of employment by
the running of the turpentine firms in the
wake of the hurricane The impossible
condition of the public roads still exists in
the rural communities and nothing can as
yet be obtained as reliable information
as to the effect of the storm in those To-
calities.
Coils. Brobston and Kraus, two good DEM
ocratic workers of Brunswick, addressed
a large crowd yesterday at Nichols. the
northern terminus of the Waycross Air
Line. An old-fashioned barbecue was
feature of the occasion, and this made
the day a success. The crowd was COM
posed of hundreds from Coffee county and
about two hundred from Ware and Pierce
counties.

Many improvements on the Plant sys-
tom hotels and grounds are being made,
and the west coast of Florida will soon,
as a result of the enterprise and great
disnlav of taste of the director of their
Trorlx Mr.. H B. Plant, bear off the palm
as the most completely equipped winter
tourist section in the country. Florida
has long made good its claim to the dis
tinction Of affording the most agreeable
climate. the most royal sports and the
most perfect health during the winter
season of any part of the country, and
under the efforts of the Plant system.
this claim is losing all chance of dis
pute.
Three great enterprises are all fast
nearing completion. One is a magnificent
hotel and the others were conceived but
as additional means for the qualification
and pleasure of the guests of Tampa

have been more than satisfied with the
nerfect attention that was shown them,
and the many facilities that were afforded
for amusement. But, characteristic OF
Mr.. Plant, a way was seen of rendering
tbe hotels guests greater amusement,
recreation and instruction in the know
ledge of Florida and her resources and
deveIopments, and the Casino, an impos-
ing structure that is to serve the Tampa

the exhibit made by the Plant system at

position i'll Atlanta a year ago. The door

decorative in design.
The BeleView is the name of the latest
of the systems additions to It's hotels.
This gem among hotels will be opened

that could have been selected, Mr.. Plant
having chosen it after a careful search
for a better. Everything that makes a
guest happy has been provided for in the
erection of the Belleview, and the grounds
with winding drives, beautiful terraces
and wooded landscapes, will be the most
beautiful in Florida.
With all these additions to the already
well night perfect facilities the west

DOG AND HEN CHUM TOGETHER.
Black and Tan Scratches Up Worms
for Baby Chickens.


From the New York Mail and Express
Black-and-tan dogs are not expected to
earn their own living, any more than dolls
and other such pets; but the Indianapolis
Sentinel reports an interesting exception
to the rule. AS the story goes, the mis-
tress of the dog Is also keeper of hens
One of these was sitting upon clutch"
of thirteen eggs, and Don. the black-and-
tan, soon became very curious TO know
why she stayed in the barn so closely
The dog, as It appears, had formerly
been given to teasing the hen snatchlng
her food away from her, and otherwise
making himself torment; but this inter-
course had been gradually turned into
friendship, and the two would sometimes
be seen lying and squatting side by side
in the sun, on bit of carpet In the
back yard.
During the three weeks that the hen sat
on her eggs Don used to pay daily visits
to the barn, and sometimes would STAY
with her by the half hour.
Then the chicks came out OF their shells
Don was intensely interested. All day
long he scarcely left the barn. The next
morning. when the hen stepped off the
nest and with a cluck called her brood
after her, Don followed.
The hen fell to scratching, and the fluff
fy chicks darted hither and thither, pick
ing up the titbits which the mother had
uncovered.
'GoodP said Don to himself. Il can
help In this business" and to the terror
of the chickens he ran in among them
and began turning up the soil at a lively
rate Then he sat down and waited.
The mother hen called back the chicks
to the newly scratched earth, and soon
they picked II clean. Then the dog took
another turn. And so the good work pro-
ceeded, to the great delight of all par
lies

that Bass was armed, was prepared for
