NEW DECATUR
Mckinley Club Organized-Wedding of
 MT. Malone and Miss Lund

New Decatur, September 25.-(Special.)- A number of leading Republicans met at the city hall last night and organized McI<in- ley Club with about fifty charter members. The following officers were elected: Charles Bassett, president; Thomas Turner, vice president; Henry B. Scott, secretary and w. w. Nelson, treasurer. Speeches were made by Charles Bassett, Col. c. c. Sheats, G. A. Hoff H. B. Scitt and others.
 One of the most interesting characters present was Col. c. c. Sheats, who played prominent roll in the Republican politics of Alabama during ante bellum and recon struction days. The colonel was delegate from Winston County to the secession con- vention, which met in Montgomery January z, 1861, and was one of the twenty-four members of that body who opposed seces- sion.
 In 1862 the colonel was expelled from the State Legislature on account of his alleged disloyalty to the southern Confederacy and was imprisoned for treason, but was soon released, as General Thomas of the Union army caused the arrest of General Me- Dowell and held him as hostage until the release of Colonel Sheats in exchange.
  years, Colonel Sheats still retains much of his fire and vigor of former years and last night the city hall rang with his elo- Quence.
 The Mckinley Club is strictly a lilly white" organization and has among its members some of the leading men of the city.
 The club will at once rent permanent
 ThnrSdav night.
 The Republicans of Decatur Will organize a club next Saturday night.
 The New Decatur club-is the first McINin- lev Club to be organized in North Ala bama.

NOT AS BAD AS
 WAS REPORTED
Rumored Destruction of Two
 Texas Towns Proves False.
THE FLOOD SITUATION
Great Destruction of Farm Property But No Loss of Life-Marble Falls and San Saba
 Heard From

Austin, Texas, September 25.-The ru- mored destruction of the towns of Marble Falls and San Saba sent out last night proves to be false. Chief Train Dispatcher Fischer of the Austin and Northwestern road, personally communicated with Marble Falls and San Saba this morning, and both were reported intact with no loss of life or city property, but great destruction of farm property along the valley. A tele- gram tonight at o'clock from M. Henry of San Saba to the headquarters of the Austin and Northwestern road in this city says:
 Colorado river on a fifty-foot rise and still rising. Several bridges washed away. San Saba river twenty-two feet rise Cot ton on lowlands ruined"
 Official reports from points west of San Saba to the same headquarters report that great damage has been done to crops all along both the Colorado and San Saba rivers. At noon today the Colorado was re- ported falling at Marble Falls above here, but reports tonight say that 1t is rising again, showing that the waters of the San Saba and Llano branches, as well from the upper Colorado are just beginning to be felt there. The river began at this point to fall this afternoon. There has been an im- mense quantity of debris floating by all day, comprising trees, etc. Sections of fences, fragments of small frame houses and some dead cattle also 1oated by. From reliable reports from all sections of the flooded valleys above 1t would seem that while there had been considerable damage to crops ard farming property generally, there has been no loss of life reported up to tonight as most of the people in the valley received timely warning.
 Reports from south of here indicate that the valley was inundated and much damage done to farms, but no lives lost.

 In the central and eastern portions of the cotton belt cotton picking has prog ressed rapidly, generally under very la vorable weather conditions, and is nearing completion in some sections In central and northern Texas the heavy rains Of the latter part of the week caused much dam age by beating out open cotton, but in the southern portion picking progressed rapid ly under favorable conditions.
