WHOLE SOUTH Is ISOLATED.
Not in Many Years Has Such Serious
Stress of Weather Prevailed.

Louisville, KY, Feb. s. - Not in
many years has the South been sub
jected to such a severe stress OF
weather as has prevailed over the ter
ritory from Texas almost to the At
lantic coast and from the Ohio river
many miles toward the Gulf of Mex
leo. The damage from rain, snow and
sleet has been of a diversified nature
and widespread. From the peach dis.
tricts of Northern Georgia, Alabama
and Tennessee come reports of heavy
money loss by reason of damage to
fruit trees: from Texas is heard much
of interruption to business, and near
ly every city in the South reported
damage to telegraph, telephone and
electric light service, while in the
vast stretches of country between
cities telegraph companies have lost
heavily on account of damage to poles
and wires. to say nothing of loss to
revenues by reason of
Impaired Facilities.
The city of Atlanta, which, under
normal circumstances has about $50
wires running in every direction, was
shut off entirely from the outside
world for many hours yesterday, and
Macon. Ga, could find no means of
communicating beyond its city limits.
Vicksburg and Natchez, Miss. have
been shut off by wire for thirty-siX
hours.
The telegraph companies have thou
sands OF men at work in the sleet-
bound territory. but as these squads
can work only during the day time
the restoration of the wires will be
tedious and long continued.
The telegraph companies, owing to
impaired facilities, We're forced to
route kilograms originally intended
between cities only a short distance
! apart, owe territory covering thou
sands of miles, and involving much
delay.
A conservative estimate from Chat
tanoOga places the property loss from
