Jacksonville, Fla, September 16
"A terrific hurricane swept over mid
die and south. west Florida the latter
part OF last week, it's greatest strength
being felt on Friday and Saturday.
Owing to the fact that it was for
several days impossible to get trains
through on account of wash outs and
all the telegraph and telepohne wires
were blown down, news from the
storm swept district came in very
slowly.
Probably half of the orange crop
was out off around Tampa and one
fourth on the east coast. Great
damage was done to growing cotton
and the turpentine industry was
seriously injured.
Two lives were lost in Tampa.
Louis Baron, cigar-msker, was
struck by falling timber, and Il. Y.
Hunnicut, motormsn, was fatally
shocked by live wire. Buildings
were blown down, the total property
loss at Tampa being estimated at
$4,000.
AT Palm Beach, serious property
loss was suffered, the opera house
and nun ber of other buildings
being blown down.
Three negroes were killed by fall
ing timber at Gainesville.
The phosphate plants at Mulberry
were greatly damaged; Barlow and
Phosphoria suffered serious proper ty
loss. :.
The loss to the orange crop around
Zolfa is between rs and 40 per cent.
the property loss about $4,000; one
life was lost.
Great numbers of vessels we're
wrecked along the coast, with little
loss of life.
THE HURRICANE IN ALABAMA.
Specials from Opeleika, Eufaula,
Ozark, and other points, tell of great

"INNsBoRo DOES NOT WANT POSTPONE
MENT

Special to The State.
| Winnsboro, Sept. 15.-The mem.
bers Of the Winnsboro bar whom I
saw this morning-and, saw a ma.
Jority Of the active members of the
bar--'were all surprised at the state
ment published from Spartanburg
thatthe Winnsboro bar had petitioned
Justice Pope for the postponement
OF the regular term, and the appoint.
ment OF special term. They we're
all unanimous in the statement that
no such petition had been sent, and
on the contrary were emphatic in
their statement that the majority, if
not all of the members of the bar of
Winnsboro not only did not want the
regular term postponed, but they
wished it held, and wished it held
by Judge Townsend and no one else.
The real status of the situation
given as nearly as possible in the
composite language of several mem.
bers of the bar, is that the bar was
put into state of uncertainty by the
announcement last week that Judge
Townsend had been appointed to
hold court in Lexington instead of
Judge Gage. They knew that Judge
Townsend was scheduled IN accord.
anoe with the provisions of the con-
stitutlon and statute law to hold court
IN Winnsboro, at the same time that
court was to be held in Lexington.
They were aware of the constitutional
objections to any other than the pres-
ent judge of their circuit holding
court in Winnsboro, &hen the Judge
OF that circuit, Judge Townsend, was
able to act. They were aware that
neither Justice Pope nor any other
authority could postpone, or call off
regular term of court, that the
court would have to be opened each
day by the clerk and adjourned from
day to day for two weeks even in the
absence of the judge of the circuit,
or that the judge of the cirouit would
have to open court himself and ad-
Journ sine die Hence at q meetinp
of the bar held some days ago, with
this knowledge and with the matter
OF Judge Townsend's appointment
to Lexington not yet absolutely set
tied, the bar simply decided to await
Developments, and took no action.
But as stated above by Senator Rags.
dale, and by others to me personally,
there was the evident desire on the
part of the majority of the members
OF the bar that the regular term be
held, and that it be held by no one
else than Judge Townsend to make
it legal and proper.
The members of the bar with whom
L talked were at loss to under.
stand how the impression had been !
conveyed to Justice Pope that they
desired a postponement of the regu-
lar term, as the only communication |
any Of them had with him was q per
sonal letter of inquiry from Mr.. j. |
E. Mcdonald. Mr.. Mcdonald did |
not have copy of his letter, which
he said, however, he would be glad |
to have published. He had inquired |
OF Justice Pope as to the assignment
of Judge Townsend to Lexington,
and had stated that if Judge Town
send was not to come to Winnsboro
for the regular term, that no one
else be sent, but special term be
held the third Monday in October.

If Germany does not lower the
bars she has raised against the
importations of American meat
products her middle classes will
be left to the alternative of starv-
alton or emigration. according to
an investigation made by the
National Provisioner, the organ
of the provision trade in this coun-
try. The paper thinks there are
indications that the restrictions
governing meat importations will
be lightened instead, to the great
benefit of American trade, for the
simple reason that, unless this is
done, Germany cannot feed her
own. With only so per cent.
more population, the United States
kills three times as many cattle,
nearly five times as many pigs,
and seven times as many sheep
annually, and when all the
great amount sent out by this
is allowed for, there is
still left three times as much meat
for every head of population as
there is in Germany. That fact,
the paper argues, makes Ms the
biggest meat eaters in the world
and the nation with the stoutest
manhood, and in time it will make
Germany come to us for some of
, UT supplies.

Louisiana w. 6. T. u.

The 21st Annual Convention Of
the Louisiana Woman's Christian
Temperance Union was held in
Alexandria, October 27-29, and
was one of the best in years.
Forty-seven delegates were pres
snt to represent the work from
different parts of the State.
The delegates were Hospitality
entertained and welcomed to the
city, and a delightful reception
was given at the fine old-time
home of Mrs. Neugent.
The State President, Miss Nav
G. Walker, had all the details of
the program we'll in hand; and
she presided with grace and abil-
ity. She gave the annual address
at night, which was an instructive,
polished production, and COM
manded the attention of her audi
ence.
Generous collections were take n
and the State organization is in
far better condition financially
than at the beginning of the year,
when the treasury contained only
ten cents. The Treasurer report
ed S127.W Notwithstanding that
Mrs. Oliver had been paid a salary
for three months work among the
local unions, strengthening and
increasing the membership. The
number of members had been
more than doubled through the
efforts of Mrs. Oliver and Miss
May G. Walker, to whom great
credit is due.
Mrs. Brownell, of Morgan City,
and Miss Mcclellan, of Ramos, ar
ranged and carried out a surprise
for Mrs. Walker by making her q
life member of the Louisiana w.
G. T. U. The ten dollars paid
into the State Treasury for that
purpose was a present from the
Second District.
The members Of the Third Dis
trict presented q fine gavel to Miss
Walker as token of their appre-
citation and esteem.
The badge of the delegates was
fastened with pin representing
the seal of the State of Louisiana
and the Louisiana w. C. T. u,
which makes q choice souvenir of
the Alexandria convention.
Good music was furnished by
the church choir throughout the
convention, many of the pastors
were present and helpful and the
press most courteous and kind.

from one to two columns each day

The Indiana Independent re-
minds Us that live stock is as
cheap as it has been at any time
during the past three years, yet
meat is selling at the highest fig
ure it has commanded since the
high-price period of the civil war.
AS a bracer to present high prices
for all grades of meats the Ar
mour and Swifts have cornered
poultry and produce supply, so
that householders are completely
at the mercy of these big pirates.
The meat trust has demonstrated
pretty clearly that it is a bigger
man than the United States gov.
eminent, with all it's courts and
antitrust laws. And the people
well, the people just pay the
