Since last Thursday he heard about the flood and he has sent fifty telegIams to his home and all have been returned unanswered Last evening as he WAS seated at the table in the banquet hall at the Ton tine hotel he had his fftieth telegram returned to him. and a notice that it was impossible for any communication to get anywhere near his home. In an interview he said that his home and business was located directly in the heart of the flood and he though that they had been entirely wiped out. He said he thought that his wife and child must have been drowned, as it hardly seemed possible that they could have escaped. He said he would start for home this morning. but that it would do no good as he could get nowhere near there. He was completely broken down over his troubles.

AT MANsFIELD's GROVE.

Large Addition to the Shore Front and
 Many Improvements for the Season.
 An antidote for spring fever is zone from the sound And it is pleasure to note that at the famous picnic grounds and grove at Mansfield's fla nous shore house fifteen acres of shore front has been added, making these grounds more delightful than ever for picnic parties and sumemr banqueters. The facilities for comfort and pleasure are unsurpassed. There boating, bath ing and fishing can be enjoyed to ones hearts content. In addition there are photograph galleries, shooting galler- ies, ball grounds and a dancing pa- vilion. This season Charles R. Bartlett has given his personal attention to the appointments and accessories of the place and the visiting public can rest assured of being we'll provided for. The shore dinners will as ever be a great feature this year and are apt to be- come as famous as the Staten Island clambakes.
 There is no finer place along the shore for societies, churches and Sunday school picnics. It will delight you eX- ceedingly to visit Mansfield's grove.

NEW USES OF THE GUM LOG.


 yew years ago about the most worthless thing which could be con- ceived of was a bum log, such as could be found in great numbers in this sec tiOn and in many parts of the Cadoli- mas. The only thing fully equaling it in Worthlessness was a gum tree grow ing in the forest. To-day it is an ac- knowledged fact that the gum tree has added enormously directly and indi- rectly, to the profit of truck raising in this section of Virginia and North Car olina, and incidentally it is responsible for an industry which gives ample pay ment to thousands of men and women in the community.
 Not many years ago practically all the boxes, crates, baskets and barrels used in the shipment of truck came from the north. They were manufac- tured chiefly in the state of New York, and every year the trucker had to send away large share of his last years profits to pay for receptacles in which to ship his present years crop. The barrels and boxes came to Norfolk empty and were sent back filed, but the money they cost never came back.
 One red letter day a man conceived the idea that the gum tree, which grew in profusion in the forests and swamps, would make slaves and boards for truck barrels and crates, if means could be found for splitting it. Be it known that it is as hard to split a gum log as it is to make Theodore Roosevelt change his mind. So he set about the devising of machinery with which the logs could be worked up. Other men became interested and the result of their united labors is seen in the pom derous machinery in the barrel facto- ries in and near this city to-day.
 The factory of the Farmers Manufac- turing company in this city, which may be taken as an average, used about for ty thousand feet of gum logs every day for ten months year in the manufac- ture of boxes, barrels and baskets. The company turns out and sells right at the factory door every year three hun- dred thousand truck barrels.
 Nobody knows how many berry bas- kets, holding quart each, are made dL LHe ldCloiy. Wdo Lolu at LAlC OAlA>C that the figures were certainly not un- der eight million; that they might reach ten million.
 The company manufactures from the raw material all these berrels and box es, and sells them to the truckers who reside almost in sight of the factory.
 A gentleman who has studied the subject closely told me to-day that the cost to the farmers of the barrels and boxes made here was only about one fifth of that of those made from more expensive wood in the north and trans ported hither. Where the trucker spent ten dollars for barrels a decade ago he now spends two dollars, and sends as

THE COTTON CROP.
Actual Growth Will Amount to Nearly
100000 Bales.

Preliminary returns to the chief of the
bureau of statistics Of the Department of
Agriculture indicate that the actual growth
q cotton in the United States in the years
1854 will amount to $780,, ,O39 bales of an
average net weight of 49O.s pounds.
The area picked or to be picked Is esti-
ms ted at 2S.0f4, $50 acres, a reduction of
S92, ,495 acres, or 800 per cent from the
acreage planted.
The total production of lint cotton is
estimated at 4,SS9, ,796. .267 pounds, an aver
age OF 174.4 pounds per acre. The esti-
mated production by states in pounds of
lint cotton per acre. is as follows:
Virginia, $50; North Carolina, 210: South
Carolina, 17S; Georgia. 15S: Florida, 142;
Alabama, 161 Mississippi, 211: Louisiana,
223: Texas, 143: Arkansas, 1876; Tennessee,
200; Missouri, 232; Oklahoma. 223; Indian
territory. 231.
In addition to the reports Of It's regular
correspondents the bureau of statistics has
had the benefit of an investigation of the
effect OF the boil weevil upon the cotton
crop of Texas for 1903 conducted under the
direction of the chief of the division of
entomology. The results of this investiga-
ton have been given due weight In the
present report, and the details will be pub
lished later by the division of entomology
Through the courtesy of the officials of
the census office the department has also
had access to the estimates made by the
census agents as to the amount Of cotton
remaining unginned. These estimates were
turned over to the department too late.
however. to receive full consideration, and
they were, therefore, not used in making

CAN'T COME INTO ZION
DOWIE ISSUES ORDER THROUGH
CHIEF OF POLICE.
Every Person Not of the Faith, Unless
Government Official, Will
Be Arrested

CHICAGO, December 3.-"All who have
not Zion in their hearts cannot come into
Zion," is the order promulgated today by
John Alexander Dowie, through his chief
of police. The order to the Zion guards" +"
the police force Of the Dowiete town Of
Zion City, continues:
From now on arrest or escort to the city
limits every person who either is not of the
faith or United States official. We will
bow to the government alone"
Zion Guards Doubled.
Following this order the usual force Of
Zion guards was doubled, many Of them
patroling the outskirts of Zion City with
ponies.
The lace factories, lumber mills and other
industries continued in operation today
and, contrary to expectation, Dowie trade
checks" were taken instead of money at the
general store, a Dowie institution in the
hands of the federal receivers.
There was rush for the general store
that threatened to clean out the stock
Many who had exhausted their ready sup
plies of money and were unable to purchase
provisions with trade checks" yesterday
were in extreme need of food.
Better Off Than Most Bankrupts.
Federal Custodian Redesk said today
that his inspection of Dowie's books led
him to believe that Dowie is better off
financially than any bankrupt he had
ever known.
The custodian added, however, that the
receivership would undoubtedly last sew
eral months. Receivers Blount and Cur
rie arrived in Zion City today and took up
the work of examining into the condition
of Dowie'S finances.
The receivers are at loss to under
stand where they can get the money to
pay workmen employed in the factories.
Says They Will Work for Nothing.
Dowie, however, declares his people
will work for nothing provided they are
furnished with food. While there is
enough provisions in the city to feed the
people for a week now that script is
being accepted, 1t is feared by the receiv-
ers that hard times may come when this
is gone.
A prominent canning provision COM
pany has refused credit to Zion agents
and announced that cash would be re-
quired for all provisions furnished In the
future. This is said to be the attitude of
other supply houses with reference to
Zion,

Causes Panic

DETROIT, Mich, December 3.-Ninety
guests and employees of the Hotel Campus
on Monroe avenue were driven out into the
cold by fire which was discovered in the
basement of Selling & Mays store under
the hotel at an early hour today.
No one was injured despite the panic
which followed the ringing of the fire alarm
in the hotel. About forty Of the occupants
of the hotel were women and few of them
stopped to dress, but rushed out on the fire
escapes and down into the icy alley at the
rear of the building.
They were given shelter at neighboring
hotels, stores and the police station. Most
of the guests were theatrical folk. The
financial loss to the store and building is
about $4,000.
