Marshall county is increasing her
productiveness for wool. Last year
the crop surpassed anything going be-
fore and the price was fair. The wool
merchants, however, it is said, lost
money on account of the low prices paid
at the factories.

No Reason for RemOnstrance.

An effort is being made TO get up
remonstrance against the paving of SO
phia street and as an inducement to get
signers to the remonstrance one of the
residents on that street informs as that
those in charge of the remonstrance are
informing that the pavement will cost
$40 per square yard.
In order that all may have correct
idea on this matter, The Independent
will state that so far the contract has
not been let and the exact cost can not
be given at this time However, Mayor
Jones tells us that he has been given
figures several months since which
show that the cost will not be one half
as much as those in charge of the re-
mOnstrance claim. South. Bend parties
offered at one time to pave for 81 15 per
square yard but if the city would scrape
down the street, they could do it for
about 81 per square yard. We give
these facts in order that none may act
under wrong conception of the facts.

MANY LIVES LOST IN STORM
West Indian Hurricane Thought to
Have Killed One Hundred
Along Carolina Coast.

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 24.-1t is now
thought that the number Of people who
lost their lives by shipwreck and disaster
attending the West Indian hurricane which
passed up the coast about ten days ago will
reach 100. Accounts, in many respects con-
f1icting, continue to come from the Abe
marie and Pamilico sound region and the
which section the greater number OF casual
ties occurred. AS this section of water is
the artery for small craft from the region
tributary to Chesapeake bay and as far north
as Philadelphia, and south to Georgia the
number of vessels ,traversing these inland
seas is always great. - Masters of craft in
from that region state that schooners, sloops
and fishing craff wrecked ashore broken
up, sunk or turned over, are to be seen al
most hourly In a trip through the sounds
and it is Thought that the total drowned will
run close to 100 II 1t does not even reach it.
On Swan, Hog and other islands and
Ocracoke and smaller points fully sixty to
seventy houses, four or five churches and
numerous stores barns and warehouses were
either washed away or damaged beyond re-
pair. AS a result numbers are homeless and
destitute and many others have lost crops
and flocks. Stock and implements and the
fishing interests have suffered greatly In
few days a fairly complete report can be
made, but at present rumors outweigh true
statements and an accurate footing OF the
damage cannot be reached.

conflict of authority between the state and
national quarantine authorities at San
Francisco, Secretary Gage. after consulta-

forts especially against the bubonic plague

that the national authority in regard TO
quarantine matters is paramount and by
his directions to the collector at San Fran
cisco the federal regulations will be en-
forced against the local authorities.
