Cannot Haul Corn CROP

The railroads OF Kansas are unable
to furnish cars to nov VA lAlf OF
the corn crop. Grain men, farmers
and millers appeal In vain for trains
in which to ship to market the 1907
000, 600 bushels OF this cereal. All
along the lines OF the corn belt are
heaps OF corn waiting TO be shipped.
At some temporary cribs have been
built to store this but in the great
majority or the places 1T has been
merely piled up on the ground, and
some OF these piles contain as many
as 10, 600 bushels.
This corn has been hauled to ship
ping points with the idea that 1t was
to be loaded lnvo cars which had been
ordered, but in mort Instances the
corn got there before the cars and is
still waiting for them. Storms might
seriously damage this corn, which Ia
exposed to the elements, aud the men
who own 1t are Keeping the wires hot
with messages to the railroad asking
that their orders for cars be filled.

TORNADO SWEEPS

A tornado Of terrlnlc force passed
over Albany, Ga, at 100 O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon; coming from a
southwesterly direction ard spreading
ruin and desolation over portions Of a
dozen blocks. Several persons are
dead, Others will die as a result of in
juries and many are more or less ser
iously hurt. Viewing the wreckage

ingly small.
The known dead arc:
Ben Jone, a negro machinist In the
employ Of the Virginia Carolina
Chemical company.
Jake Johnson, a 0-year.old negro
boy.
Among those whose injuries will In
all probability prove fatal arc:
Luta GLADDEN., Jesse Davis, Annie
Davis and Jessie Woodall.
The IL 1T Is still incomplete owing
to the fact that much of the destruc
ton wrought was well beyond the
city limits. Reports from the lorna
DO after it left Albany have not been
received.
Hundreds Of negroes IN the City are
homeless tonight and many have lost
all their hCuqehold effects. The in
jured are being cared for and efforts
are being made to secure shelter for
all. This Is diticult owing to the
scarcity OF all kinds Of dwelling hous-
es In the city. Under direction q
Mayor Rawson, relief will be secured
and promptly furnished these In
greatest distress.
1t Is q nioult to estimate the prop
crty loss. The Virginia Carolina.
Chemical company is tire principal
sufferer, It's DESTROYED buildings and
~machipery having becn worth prob
ably $50, 900. it is safe to say that
the total loss will tie found 10 exceed
$3.50, 600. Very little of the destroy.
ed property was protected by tornado
insurance.
The southern Bell Telephone com
pany is among the heaviest sufferers.
Its lines were blown down In several
parts Of the city. Some little ap.
prehension is felt for Pretoria, in the
southwestern par6 Of the county.
The tornado came from that direction
and a, the telegraph wires are down
nothing can be heard fiom there.
