IN WEST TENNESSEE.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 20.-Owfng
to the pressure of the water OF Wolf
River against two spans of the Illi-
nois Central Railroad bridge across
that stream, they were swept away to-
day, and all northern traffic over the
road has been suspended.
Five small houses, located on Alaba-
ma street, near Johnson avenue, have
collapsed and fallen into Bayou Gay
oso.
The county's $4,000 steel bridge
over Hatchie River, at Randolph road,
has been destroyed.
The county schools have closed in
most of the districts, owing to the inn
possibility of the roads.
All roads leading to the country
from Memphis are closed with the
exception OF the Pigeon Roost and
State Line.
Twenty-Five miles of county levees
are under water and the greater por-
ton is probably destroyed.
The McQuinn dry docks are almost
a total loss and ferry boat in Wolf
River has been sunk.
More than fifty county bridges are
reported washed away.
The Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railroad has suspended bust
ness and other roads are in fearful
shape.
It is estimated that already the food
losses will approximate quarter OF
million dollars in Shelby County.
Railroad officials say that the storm
is the worst ever experienced in this
section of the country. The Louis
vile & Nashville is handling the
Southern Railway passenger business
to Chattanooga and the Nashville,
chattanooga & st. Louis business via
Mckenzie and Humboldt Water is
over the tracks of the Illinois Central
at Jackson and trains on the Frisco,
Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt are
all behind their schedule time.

M'KENDREE LOT
BRINGS $4,000
HISTORIC SITE TENTATIVELY
SOLD TO JOSEPH FRANK, SUB
JEcT TO RATIFICATION.

Although the historic McKendree
site on Church street was sold at
auction Thursday to Joseph Frank
for $S1 900, trif1e over 81 900 a front
age fot, it is very 1robable that the
Church Conference will not ratify the
sale. Considerable dissatisfaction was
expressed on many sides Thursday
after the result of the sale was known
and when the Quarterly Conference of
McKendree Church meets in called
session tonight to receive the report
of the committee appointed to conduct
the sale it is certain that an effort will
be made to prevent ratification. 1t
is too early to tell whether the dissat-
isfaction will result in the sale being
nullified, but it seems the consensus
of opinion among a number of leading
members of the church that the con-
ference will not agree to let the his
toric site go for $SI 000 Only a few
days ago a written offer of 100000
from c. c. Christopher was declined
by the committee, and the opinion is
freely expressed that as much can
easily be secured for the property if
the sale Thursday is nullified and the
property again placed on the market.
The sale Thursday was attended by
one of the largest crowds that has
ever attended an auction sale in Nash
vile. The sale was conducted by G..
S. Moore, of Springfield, as auctioneer
for the -Cocluill- Finegan Real
Estate Company.-Nashville Ameri-
can.

That's what a prominent
druggist said OF SCOTS
Emulsion a S h ort time
ago. AS a rule we don t
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The a ct on of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul.
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

Cd In the interview of Senator Adams
10 which reference as made, the author
Of the Adams law stated that he
thought that high license would be
more effective in the large cities than
absolute prohibition just at this time.
Continuing, Senator Carmack said:
In addition to high State license,
would make it obligatory upon the
counties and cities to impose a license
equal to that imposed by the State. /
I'M sorry to say it, but l believe that
prohibitory law applied to Memphis
Il this time would simply result in
Increasing the power of corruption.
n other words, the law would be en-
orced only to the extent and for the
urpose of compelling political sup

cense law-if the license were made
Ugh enough-would break up many OF
