TELEGRAPH LINES ALSO SUFFER

Louisville, Feb. Mot in many
years has the south been subjected
to such a severe stress of weather as
has prevailed over the territory from
Texas almost TO the Atlantic coast
and from the Ohio river many miles
toward the Gulf of Mexico. Damage
from rain, snow and sleet was wide
spread. From the peach district of
north Georgia, Alabama and Tonnes
see come reports of heavy money loss
by reason of damage to fruit trees;
from Texas is heard much of the in
terruption to business and nearly ev-
cry city in the south reported dam
age to telephone, telegraph. street
car and electric lighting service,
while in vast stretches of the country
between cities and telegraph compa-
MES have lost heavily on account of
damage to poles and wires, to say
nothing of the loss of revenues by
reason of impaired facilities.
The city of Atlanta, which under
normal conditions has about $50
wires running in every direction, was
shut off entirely from the outside
world for many hours today. and Ma
con, Ca. could find no means of com
munication beyond its city limits.
Vicksburg and Matches, Miss, have
been shut off by wire for SO hours.
Many newspapers appeared in the
smaller cities yesterday without a
line OF telegraph news and others
were served under difficulty. Conser-
vative estimate from Chattanooga
places the property loss from the un-
precedented freeze in that section of
the fruit belt at 100000. Chatta-
nooga, for the first time in its histo-
ry, was completely icebound.
The sun shone in Shreveport. La,
today for the first time in a week
and it was the first day in that time
that the temperature registered above
freezing point.
The Ohio river is icebound to its
mouth. In Louisville dynamite was
used to break a gorge which threat
ened damage to many boats. There
is no prospect of resumption of river
traffic for some time to come.

CLOSE CALL.
Chief Wood and Stationman Evitts
Thrown Out of Buggy.

Fire Chief James Wood and Sta
tionman Sam Evitts, had narrow
escape from serious injury last night
at ~ o'clock while going to the 8re
at Tenth and Harrison streets.
They were riding in the small bug
gy the chief always uses in making
runs, and near Seventh and Harrison
struck a pile of sand or dirt and Chief
Wood was thrown about 80 feet, but
fortunately alighted in such a posi-
ton as to cause only few bruises.
Fireman Evitts was also thrown
out, but held onto the lines and
stopped the horse. Both men an
swered the alarm and this morning
are none the worse for the experience
except a few bruises,
Chief Wood discovered this morn
ing that his shoulders were pretty
badly damned" and Is worse injuI-
ed than at first thought. He is in
dignant over the action CT the con-
tractors who left the sand or build
ing material in the street unprotected
by a light. and this afternoon war
rants will be issued. II 70 said,

the matter.

THE !. &.
Is still Making n Record A. a Divi-
dcnd Payer.

The Illinois Central recently cele
brated its 10Oth consecutive semi
annual dividend by giving its stock
holders an extra half OF per cent.
In addition to its regular dividend
In the so years covered by the llli-
nois Central an average of 6 l-2
per cent. on the stock has been paid,
the, total amount being 100000
900. The Pennsylvania railroad COM
menced paying dividends In May,
1866. and has paid out an average
OF per cent, the total amount be
ing $310.O00.0O0 or about $4,000
900 more than the present capital

ANOTHER SOCIALIST FAILURE.

The fallacy of socialism has been
demonstrated time and again when
ever there was an opportunity. At
various times people mostly of SINH
lar temperament, ideals and re-
sources have banded themselves to-
gether into a socialistic community
but never were they able to adhere
to their principles for long. If peo-
pie of one thought and purpose did
not or could not do 1t, how. can ex-
ponents of the fallacy consistently
claim that a county, state, or ma
ton, embracing people of every kind,
creed and condition, could or would
succeed?
The largest and most successful
socialistic society in existence is
now about to dissolve. A dispatch
from Iowa City, Ia, says;
after fifty years of successful
operation, the famous Amana social
istic society in Iowa county faces a
serious prospect of dissolution. 1t
has lasted longer and been more ma
terially successful than any other So
cialistic community ever formed in
America.
"From an initial membership of
about 100, with a meager property.
1t has grown to 1900 and over 49,
100000 in property, The society is
composed of Mennonites, similar to
the Quakers, They own most Of the
lands in three townships and have
seven towns or villages, and are
model farmers. The society oper-
ates the largest wooden mills in Iowa
turning out product that is famous
all over the country. Everything is
held in common, and the bylaws
provide that a Withdrawing member
may be given certain small amount
for every year he has been a mem
her, The accumulation of property
has grown to such point that a
distribution of all the holdings
would net about $4,000 to each
member, while the average with
drawal apportionment Is only about
$500, Some of the younger element
who want to withdraw, but do not
chose to pay SO heavy a price, are
supposed to back the dissolution pro-
oeedings which have been started in
the district court They allege that
the society, organized purely for be-
neyolent and charitable purposes,
has utterly exceeded its charter pow
ers, and demand its dissolution and
the division OF the property. The
movement will be determinedly OPP
posed"
This will be the fate Of all such
societies. There is nothing TO be
