CLIMBING
CONTEST.
THE REQ WAS FIRST AMONG CON-
PETENT AND DisINTER.
ESTED JUDGES.

Algonquin, H., claims that dual hill
climb recently held on Perry and Phil
lips hills was the first of its kind to
be held in this country, If not in the
world. The result was a positive tri-
umph for the American built car, for
every starter performed more or less
creditably on either of the rugged
hills. The medium-priced, high-grade
cars scored a victory that will cause
many an intending buyers to sit up
and think; for a car of this class,
16 horse power REQ, selling for $1,250
scored the sensational victory of the
day, just as it did In the races Labor
day at Waverly, N J., despite the fact
that 1t was taken right out of stock
without any tuning up or change of
gear Better time was made by this
car on either hill than six cars sell
ing for more than $4,000, three of
which lists for $4,000 or more; while
in the $4,000 and $4,000 class it easily
defeated seven cars, four of which sell
for $500. The weights Of these heav-
Ter cars were from so to 100 per cent.
more than their sturdy little rival
New York Mail, Sept. 16.
Mr.. F. r. Gamble is the agent for
this car in Maury and several other
counties. and the demonstration by the j
REQ here in Columbia during the
rainy, muddy weather this week is
proof positive that there is no other
car on the market that can stand the
service and hold its own with the REQ.
Mr.. Gamble will be glad to talk with
any one interested in an automobile,
and will give practical demonstrations |
Of the REO'S work in hill climbing |
and it's smooth running over medium |
ground.

RAIN DOES
HEAVY DAMAGE
MAURY COUNTY SUFFERS LOSS
OF THOUSANDS BY FRIDAY
NIGHTS STORM.

The people of Maury County and
more especially the farmers, lost
many thousands of dollars by the un-
precedented rain storm Friday night.
The loss to the corn crop is extreme
ly heavy, in many of the lowlands the
crop is total loss. Fences and wat
er gaps have been washed away, many
bridges washed out and roads damag-
ed. The greatest damage seems to
have been along the valleys of Car
tiers Greek and Big Bigby. Equally as
serious damage may have been done
in other parts of the county. Tele-
phone wires are down and 1t Is impos-
sible to hear from many sections.
Duck River was twenty four feet
above low water mark at seven o'clock
this morning and rising rapidly. At
noon the river was stationary, though
reports from up the river indicate the
second rise. Ashton Bros. have moved
out of their lower mill and are prepar-
ing for the worse.
Damage in the Glendale neighbor-
hood is most severe. In the lowlands
the corn crop is practically destroyed,
the fields in many places being swept
clear of the growing crops.
The bridge over Moccasin's branch
in the w. B. Gordon lot is swept away.
Three large puddles of blood at the
bridge approach indicate that some
one probably drove horse into the
creek early this morning and the ami
NAL was injured in climbing out.
At Carriers Creek the water was
higher than was ever known before,
the bridge near DaEk's hill being
washed away No serious damage
was done at the station.
Reports from Cross Bridges neigh
borhood show great damage. Bigby
Creek was away out of its banks and
the crops in the lowlands are badly
damaged. Water rose into Hill Bros.
store, and at IL o'clock Mr.. Baird and
family and Mr.. Edwards and family,
who live near the store were driven
from their homes by the rising wat
err Water four feet deep covered one
hundred and fifty acres of the Mrs.
Clark Jones farm.
The Mt. Pleasant pike bridge over
little Bigby Creek was badly damaged |
and the approaches at both ends are
washed away. All travel to Mt Pleas
ant by pike has been discontinued

STRONG FOR TEMPERANCE
At mt. PLEASANT

A meeting of temperance democrats
at Mt. Pleasant Monday night is most
encouraging to the temperance forces
of Maury county. The meeting was
largely attended, and men who have
heretofore not favored the abolition of
the saloons from Mt. Pleasant and Co
lumbia came out strongly in favor of
this move and for the extension of the
Adams law to the State. The strength
of the sentiment was surprising to the
most ardent temperance people; so
strong indeed that the outlook is that
there will be only one ticket in the
field from the twelfth and thirteenth
districts next Saturday and that ticket
a unit for the abolition OF the saloons
from this county.
The temperance forces nominated as
their ticket from the 18th district,
Messrs. Newt Pickard, G. 8. Jackson.
F. M. Ricketts,, Mumford Smith and
Jno Brownlow. From the 18th dis
tricf, Or. j. q. HIN, Prof Jas. A. Bos-
tick, Messrs. J. P. Warnock and T. c.
Webster and Rev. Hight. The dele
gates are instructed to vote Tor candi-
dates for the legislature who will
vote for the abolition of the
saloons from Mt. Pleasant and
Columbia and for the extern |
sion Of the Adams law to the entire
state; and to vote as a unit on all |
questions.

FREE BRIDGE
Commissioners to Meet Next Tuesday
 Afternoon.

County Judge F. l. Kerwin has called meet 'ng of the bridge com missioners for next Tuesday after noon to discuss the various matters pertain ng to the construction of the free bridge ordered by the last levy ing court of the county. The com missioners will meet in the offices of the county judge, and a number of matters of importance are to come be- fore the meeting. County Judge Kerwin states that the preliminary work on the free bridge proposition VII go forward as rapidly as the cir cumstanees will admit, but declares that progress will necessarily be slow. While County Judge KerWin would give ont nothing about the matter, it is understood that the matter Of the bond given by the North and South railway company as a guarantee of gccd ia th. will come up for discus sicn. and it is considered ono of the possibilities of the meeting that Judge Kerwin will demand a different form of bond from the company. When asked relative to the purport of the meeting. Judge Kerwin declined to make any statement for publication, simply stating that the meeting was called to discuss the various phases of the free bridge propcsit on.
 A meeting of the hospital cemmis- sioners has been called for the same date, and like the former meeting will take place in the county judges office at the county courthouse.
 Judge Kerwin will sometime this week appoint the courthouse commis sioners, who will have charge of the construction of the impr aments or dered on the county courthouse.
 It is the intention of the county judge that work on both the county hospital and the remodelling of the courthouse will begin 'n April.

NEW CHURCH OHIO STREET BAPTIST coNGRE- CATION SOON BE IN NEW
 EDIFiCE.
Large Force of Workmen Is Now En- ployed to Rush 1t to
 Completion.

Inside of six weeks. or two months at the most, members of the Ohio street Baptist church will be able to attend services in their new edifice Worlmen are now busily engaged in putting on the slate roofing, and when this is finished the interior work will be started, and pushed through to completion as soon as pos sible. If the weather is such that the work can go on interruptedly, it is not thought more than six weeks will be consumed by the rest of the work
 A large force of men is now em- plOyed on the building. The lathing has been completed, but the work of Blastering has not yet been started. AS soon as the slate is all on the roof. the interior work, such as the plas- tering. flooring, and hang ng the doors, will be started. When this is completed, the furniture pews, plat form, pulpit, and other necessary ar tlcles will be installed. Rev. s. H. Campbell, pastor of the church, said Saturday morning that he thought he would be able to address h s congre- sation from the pulpit of the new edifice by the first or second week in April

THE NEWUnI0N DEPOT
Will Be Used by the Cotton Bell, as Land Has Been Purchased in East End Upon Which to Lay Connecting Track.

Preparations for another step i'll the Improvements which the Cotton Belt road is inaugurating i'll Pine Bluff took place Saturday morning. when the company closed @ deal with Major Anderson and wife, colored, whereby they secured possession of a part of two lots at the corner of Missouri and Third avenue at cost of $1,o00. The lots are part of Drew Whites addition to the city of Pine Bluff, and are described as lots 3 and 1, block 9, of that addition. This is an important move, as settles the question of whether or net the Cotton Belt is to use the new union depot, which has been in the minds of citizens of this city for months
 This piece of property just pur- chased is sixty feet long, and the Cotton Belt will cut across from the Iron Mountain tracks at Missouri street, go across the bayou, and join the Cotton Belt tracks at the main lead in the yard. This gives them a
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1906-02-25

clear right of way except for q small corner West of Missouri street, which is the property of Mrs. McGhee. They Will be obliged to secure possession of this property somehow. either by buying it outright, or by securing it's condemnation in ease it can not be purchased otherwise.
 The other connection with the iron Mountain tracks will be made some. where in the west end Of town. al. trough the officials of the comDanv have not decided just where il will be. It is generally thought that the connection will be made at the junc- ton, as that is the most convenient place, but the local representatives of the company are moi yet ready to make any statement regaf iin@ this phase of the matter. The land al ready bought, however, will give the company in2ress to and egress from the new depot, and they will use it as much as the Iron Mountain or any of the other roads.

BURGLAR'S
 OWN TOOL
Had to Be Used to Open Russell
 Safe.

After working on the big Mosler safe, which burglars attempted to blow open in the Russell Grocery con- 'any' establishment several nights aeo, experts gave up the hope of opening it. and resorted to the use of [ 2 very tools left by the burglars in t;;eir nasty flight. The drill went through the great steel door easily, and the safe was opened Friday after noon.
 In attempting to blow open the safe, burglars, who were evidently amateurs, broke off the combination, rendering it useless, and the Russell people found it impossible to open the safe without drilling into it. No other drill for the work could be secured here except that used by the burglars themselves, and this soon af- forded them ingress to the safe.

 The site selected for building the factory is just west of the mammoth repair shed and nearly alongside the main tracks of the Cotton Belt, at the wards. The structure, as already an nounced, will be built of structural iron and steel, and will be most sub stantial building.
