lation that surround the town like a pail
Of darkness there radiates a beam Of hope
and encouragement-hope that the death
list may not be numerous reported
and announcement to those who are SC
bravely and devotedly assisting In the work
of relief.
The story of the storms work Of desola-
ton has already been told. All that re-
mains is the compilation of an accurate list
of the dead and the chronicling and burial
of the victims. Figures from all available
sources and giving credence only to those
reports which are believed to be trust
worthy, the following Is a summary OF
the effects of the tornado in Gainesville
and its environs: One hundred killed; 10
injured. of whom probably twenty will die
500 homeless, their residences having beer
wiped out of existence; property loss OF
about half a million dollars. none of which
was covered by storm insurance.
The death list so far completed includes
thirty-two at the Pacolet cotton mills a,
New Holland. all OF whom were killed In
the demolition of the company's cottages
and thirty-six at the Gainesville cottor
mills. near the Southern Railway station
where the tornado first struck.
