Summary of the Situation iuaGalves,
ton, q 7~r
N. Q. PieaYune, Oct. ..

AZ ~ ASeJ NASt ~"
John L. Sprogle, Jr., of the lihiladel-
| weston in charge of the NORTH &meri-
| cars relief expedition, reaches IHis city
| Yesterday morning on his return East.
To the Picayune man who saw him at
| the St. Charles Hotel Mr.. Spr0gle made
some pithy summaries of the Galveston
| situation, the results of his observations,
| stretching over tho entire period
"My estimate of the dead is from 600O
to 5000: not to exceed 10000 at the out
side. ] allow 5000 to 1000 dead in the
| city of Galveston, with from 1000 to 3009
| on the mainland and On Galveston is
land. =,
"Galveston will rebuild, but it will
never be u great residence city again
| Galveston women will never consent to
live there with their children. .
Property loss, $4,000, 900; insur-
aDce, 100000.
mot over 60 per cent Of the debris has
been cleared away. There are proba-
| to be cleared.
"They are finding from fifty to seven
| five bodies a day, which are burned as
| fast rs they are taken from the ruins.
"The ministers of the churches did
not prove Il success as distributing
agents. and the Red Cross Society seems
to be the best agency in the tield.
"The New York Merchants Associa-
ton has sent Mr., CorWine to Galveston
to investigate and report the conditions
found there. His report will probably
be followed by tue raising of Il large
loan to be offered the merchants Of Gal
| weston, provided through the New York
Marchants' Association.
Mr.. Corwine says Galveston is nrces-
sary, from IL shipping and business
standpoint. as q regulator of rates fHr
the great Southwest. Without Calves
| ton the rate situation would be in the
| hands of u very few. The merchants
| association of the metropolis has this III
| mind when it offers a loan of unlimited
! proportions to the merchants Of til"
stricken city.
""There will be many failures among
the building and-iu loan associations,
| whose assets we're largely in houses. and
which have been swept into the gulf.
Miss Barton estimates that there ale
5000 persons homeless in Galveston to-
day.
"Her scheme is To provide homes for
them by sending out III urgent. appeal
| to the lnmbermen, the hardware men
| and the dealers in building materials to
contribute sufficient materials for the
| erection of 5000 cottages in Galveston.
"She says provide the materials ami
let the men bniid their W honies-"

The Southern Farm Magazine.

At the last meeting Of the State AEli-
cultural Society OF Georgia, ex-Gover-
nor William j. Northern made an tar
nest plea for business methods in farm
ing. He argued that rs in medicine,
ia merchandising and in manufacturing,
80 in farming, the fundamental princi-
pie nf success are Intelligent aud thor
ougil understanding of all details and
activity i'm pursuit. He said that success
at farming in the South demanded
abandonment of negro ~tehaHtry and
partnership IN crops, II system OF farm
bookkeeping, an acquaintance with the
market price of products, avoidance OF
waste of time, material and energy,
avoidance of debt and persistent in
dustry. Mr.. Northen's speech was SO
the October issue of the Southern Farm
Magazine. In connection with it should
be read the letter from Christian Becker
Of Anderson. Texas. Ex-Governor
Northen speaks from the standpoint of ii
broad view OF agriculture and its rela-
tons to the whole country, while Mr..
Becker writes from the individual farm
| er's standpoint. It is quite interesting
to note how they both agree. Bearing
| upon this subject are reports of the
meeting at Raleigh OF the commissioners
OF agriculture of the Cotton States and
the faImers' institute at Clemson's Col
lege, S. C. The regular departments
| are full of entertaining and instructive
matter, particularly the hints given to
housekeepers as to preparations for the
| fall and winter. A number of general
| articles dealing with cotton batting,
| wheat, the relations Of farmers and
commerce ard the experience of settlers
in that section contribute to the value
and interest of the October issue.

Accuracy in Prescriptions.

A broader term than many suppose
Some people imagine it relates only to
chemicals or preparations bearing the
same name as that appearing on the
prescription. This is one step only.
To complete the sense of the term each
ingredient must be pure-must be Ca
pable of exerting the highest medical
effect. We believe in accuracy of this
kind. It has given the esteem of the
physicians and the confidence of the
public. Will take good care of your
prescription. We don't charge extra for
this carefulness. Accuracy is here.

GOEBEL'S EVIDENCE in
REPUBLICANS HAVE NEXT INNING IN
KENTUCKY HEARING.
Democrats Win in the Legislative
Centests-General Buckner's Views
on National Politics.

FRANKFORT, KY. Jan. 1s.-The hear
ing of evidence-in-chief on behalf of Goe-
bel and Beckham, the Democratic con-
testants for Governor and lieutenant gov
ernor, before the joint legislative contest
board was completed to-day and the hear
ing of evidence for Governor Taylor and
Lieutenant Governor Marshall will begin
tomorrow. They have five days set apart
to them, after which Goebel and Beckha m
will have one day in rebuttal The contest
notices of Governor Taylor and Lieutenant
Governor Marshall were rendered to-day,
but the attorneys for the contestants
asked and were granted till tomorrow to
examine them and prepare their objec-
tions to the filing of them or to take such
other action as they may desire. Not more
than fifty witnesses testified on -enalf of
the contestants. The witnesses to-day
were mainly from Louisville and the prin-
cipal evidence was in regard to the alleged
military interference there. Among the
witnesses from there were Gen. John b.
Castleman, Sheriff Bell, Chief of Police
Hanger and other officials. The feeling be-
tween Goebel and anti-Goebel Democrats
was evidenced by some spicy questions
and answers between Colonel Breckenridge
and some of the Louisville politicians
who testified in behalf of Goebel, notably
when r. Lee Suter, member of the Board
of Public Safety, was on the stand. The
sparring between him and Colonel Brock
inridge became highly interesting, though
each kept within the bounds of courtesy.
The colloquy between them finally became
so sharp, however, that the chairman
called both to order.
The Goebel attorneys, at the conclu-
sion Of the sitting of the contest board
tonight. objected to the deduction from
their time of several hours which had been
taken up in argument over pleadings and
other preliminary matters, but Chairman
Hickman announced that they had ex-
hausted their time and no more would be
allowed. The legislative contest commit
tees trying the contested House election
cases will report tomorrow unanimously
in favor of seating Mckinney Dem.), who
is contesting the seat of Representative
Taylor of Trigg county, and in favor of
Crawford (Dem.), of Breathitt, whose seat
is contested by a Republican.
