man life and money loss, wind
storm in the history of the State
swept over the handsome city of
Meridian at $50 o'clock Friday
evening of last week, killing 21,
seriously injuripg % and other
wise injuring hundreds of the
people, a Id laying in ruins many
homes, public buildings, indus
trial plants. and demolishing four
blocks of business buildings in
the heart of the city, The dam :
age to property is estimated at
one million dollars, tho the first
estimates sent out were far in
excess of that sum.
The destructive wind came
from the southwest, as is the
usual course of tornadoes in the
south, travelled In a northeasterly
direction across the city, and is
said to have reached a velocity
of 12) miles an hour.
The first building of size struck
was the fertilizer factory, an i'm =
mense structure and with it's
sheds valued at $4,000, was de.
molished. Many cheap tenement
houses in the vicinity, occupied
by employees, were blown about
like wisps OF waste paper. Here
sevt raj lives were lost. Follow
ing came the A. & v. and M. &
O. and N. e. railroad depots, the
Avenue Hotel, Thornton S Trans

Lyle Grocery Co., Meyer Neville
, Hardware. Co, Y. M. @. A., Null

Co., Cumberland Telephone, Co.,

works and lighting plant, and
scores of other brick and frame
business and residence buildings,
and out through the northeastern
portion Of the city where the Me,
ridian cotton mills were damaged
to the extent of $4,000, and sew
eral dead were found in the frame
tenements adjoining.
The scene and conditions are
said to have been indescribable.
A heavy rain with deep darkness
followed the fearful wind; fires
soon sprang up among the wreck
of buildings; th. streets were fill
ed with debris, and broken wires
storped the street cars, extin-
guished the electric lights and
made movement dangerous until
the current was shut off at the
power houses. !.
A minute of stunned paralysis
and then the brave people began
a search for the dead and rescue

Shipment of Liquors
TO Prohibition Towns.

An interesting controversy has
crown up between the people of
some of the towns and counties
of Mississippi, on one side, and
some Of the express companies,
on the other, concerning the
shipping of splrituous liquors in
to those communities that have
established prohibition against
the sale of such liquors.
By the Mississippi State law
the people of any city, town or.
county in that State may deter
mine by general election wheth.
er or not they will permit the sale
of liquors within their territorial
limits, and when the people in
such election vote that the town
or county shall ''go dry" the
sale or all spirituous liquors is
prohibited therein.
But the railroads and the ex-
press companies carry such Ii
q lors into the "dry" towns. and
the authorities have been trying
60 put stop to it by proceed
ings against the railroad and ex.
press companies. Such causes
have been tried in the United
Stotes Court, which has given
Judgment in favor of the trans
portation companies.
These decisions are had under
the United States Interstate Com.
merce law, which is held to give
the United States full and exclu-
sive power over all commerce
between States, and that State
laws cannot interfere. Parties IN
one State have right to ship
liquors or any other merchantai
/ BILE commodity into another
State, either to purchasers or to
coasignees who are willing to
take charge of the shipments.
No State law can prevent this,
bat 1T can p 0hibit the sale, after
the liquors get into such State,
and prosecute any violation Of
the prohibition.
] Under a recent decision of the
Supreme Court of the United
States IN regard to certain rail-
roads which are not only engag-
ed Il transporting coal, but also
in mining it, the said railroads
are forbidden to engage in the
IselIing of their coal in compete
I Ition- with coal dealers that are
mot railroad eperato' 8, and the
same rule would apply tc trans
tportation companies engaged in
carrying liquors.. It would for
bid them to engage ALTO In the
sale Of such liquors.
However that may be, it 10 easy
enough for coal transpOrters or
any other railroad or express
companies to evade the law if
they so will it by establishing
agencies. La view of the entire
situation, their is no effective re.
lief against such possible abuses
as are complained of by the Mis-
sissippi prohibitionists, except
action of Congress. Congress
can enact law prohibiting the
sb pment by transportation comr
panies of liqaors into commune
ties where the sale of such intox.
lcants is forbidden by State law.
The matter has already been car
ried to the attention of Congress,
and all that can be done is to
await it's action.-N. O. Plcayune.
