new counties under consideration for
several weeks past.
According to this agreement it is

to be recommended by the house com

There is possibility that six will be
named in this report
The six successful competitors for
new county honors in the order select.
ed, according to an authoritative
source of information, are as follows
jenkins county, to be formed from
parts of Burke, Bulloch, Screven and
Emanuel, with Millen as the county
seat.
Tiff county, to be formed from parts
OF Berrien, Worth and Irwin, with
I1fton as the county seat.
Toombs county, to be formed from
parts of Montgomery and Tattnall
with Lyons as the county seat.
Bleckley county, to be formed from
parts of Habersham and Franklin, with
ToccOa as the county seat.
Cromartie county, to be created
from parts of Appling and Coffee, with
Hazlehurt, as the county seat.
In case it is decided to name six
counties instead of five this year, ii
is practically determined that Grady
county will be chosen.

killed the amendment calling for that
amount, and by vote of 81 to 69
adopted another one making the tax
$500, which is an increase of $500 over
the present amount.
The $500 tax has yet to run the
gauntlet Of the senate before it can
become enacted into law, and there
appears to be a belief in some QUAR-
ters that the senate will insist on re
ducing it.
1t is not thought that the tax of $500
would result in closing up dozen bar
rooms in the state, and if such should
be the case, the increased tax would
more than double the states present
revenue from the liquor traffic, max
ing it something close to 100000.

ing Greatly Disfigured.
Albanay, N. Y, August 9.-Thirteen
dead bodies, many of them mangled
almost beyond recognition, have been
taken from the ruins of the department
store Of the John G. Myers company,
which collapsed yesterday.
The known death list which last
night numbered only five, has been
more than doubled
In addition to these it is almost GER
tain that Is or 20 bodies still remain
in the twisted mass of beams, wires,
plaster, brick and lath that was once
the main portion of one of the city's
largest stores.
A days work by skilled hands from
the wrecking crew of the New York
Central and the Delaware and Hud-
son railroads, has resulted in remov-
ing barely half of the wreckage.
s'hc injured in the hospitals are do
ing we'll, with two EXCEPTIONS Miss
Ella j. Donahue, who was one of the
first survivors to be taken out of the
wreck, has several of her vertebrae
fractured, and it is said cannot live.
Mrs. William Borst of Window, MINI,
who was one of the few shoppers in
jured, is also reported to be in a crit
ical condition.
1t is thought scarcely possible that
any of those now imprisoned in the
debris can be alive
Since midnight only disfigured
corpses have ben taken out. Fifty wo-
men employees are still unaccounted
for, and as the firm has a complete
list OF these, grave fears are expressed
for the safety of the majority. A
large percentage of those in the cen
trail portion of the building which
collapsed were women.
The thirteenth body was found this
afternoon and identified as that of
Miss Winifred Kelly, by her father
who had watched by the wreckage all
night.
A thorough search carried on since
early morning has revealed the fact
that all the men and all but one of
the women employed in the depart
ment store of the John G. Myers COM
pany, which collapsed yesterday are
accounted for.
About 80 cash boys out of rs have
not yet reported, but it is thought
1t scarcely possible that there are
many OF them in the ruins for the
proportion of boys thus far known to
be killed and injured is small.
These facts lead to the belief that
the number of deaths will prove con.
siderably less than was feared. The
dead found thus far number 13 and
there is hope that not more than half
a dozen bodies are still in the wreck.
