ingly small.
The known dead arc:
Ben Jone, a negro machinist in the
employ of the Virginia Carolina
Chemical company.
Jake Johnson, a 9-year-o old negro
boy.
Among those whose injuries will In
all probability prove fatal arc:
Luta GLADDEN., Jesse Davis, Annie
Davis and Jessie Woodall.
The li,t is still incomplete owing
to the fact that much Of the deStruc
tion wrought was we'll beyond the
city limits. Reports from the lorna
do after 1t left Albany have not been
received.
Hundreds Of negroes in the City are
homeless tonight and many have lost
all their household effects. The in
jured are being cared for and efforts
are being made to sc cure shelter for
all. This Is difficult owing to the
scarcity OF all kinds of dwelling hous-
es in the city Under direction OF
Mayor Rawson, relief will be secured
and promptly furnished these In
greatest distress.
1t is 0)nlcult TO estimate the prop
erty loss. The Virginia Carolina.
Chemical company is the principal
sufferer, its DESTROYED buildings and
machinery having been worth prob
ably 100000. 1t is safe to say that
the total loss will be found 10 excee d
$4,000. 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 part OF the county.
The tornado came from that direction
and a, the telegraph wires are down
nothing can be heard fiom there.
