KILLED BY TORNADO
Serious Loss of Life and Prop
erty It Albany, Georgia
SEVERAL i !, I:I, DEAD AND MANY HURT
Havoc Was Wrought Over Portions
of Dozen Blocks, Largely in Ne
gro Quarter, and the Fact That
Scores We're Not Killed Outright is
Amazing in View of Wreckage
Left:

Albany, Ga, special.-A tornado
of terrific force passed over Albany
at 1 80 o 'clock Wednesday afternoon
coming from southwesterly direction
and spreading ruin and desolation
over portions of dozen blocks. Sew
eral persons are dead and others will
die ,as the result of injuries, and
many are more or less seriously hurt.
Viewing the wreckage left by the. tor
lnado, it seems a miracle that scores
were not killed outright, the tribute
claimed in the way of human lives be-
ing. astonishingly small.
The known dead are:
Ben Jones, negro maehinist in
the employ Of the Virginia-Carolina
Chemical Company.
Jake Johnson, 9-year-old negro
boy.
Among those whose injuries will,
in all probability, prove fatal are:
Lula GLADDEN., Jessie Davis, Annie
Davis, and Jessie Woodall.
The list is still incomplete, owing
to the fact that much of the destruc-
ton wrought was we'll beyond the
city limits. Reports from the tornado
aftersit left Albany have.not been re-
ceived. Hundreds Of negroes in the
city are homeless and many have lost
all their household effects. The in
jured are being cared for and etferts
are being made to secure shelter for
all. This is difficult owing to the
scarcity of all kinds of dwelling
houses in the city. Under direction
of Mayor Rawson, relief will be Sc
cured and promptly furnished those
in the greatest distress.
It is difficult 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 to exceed
$l5O,O0O. Very little Of the de.
stroyed property was protected by tor.
nado insurance.
The Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany is among the heaviest sufferers.
Its lines were down in several parts
of the city. Some little apprehension
is felt for Preoria, in the southwest
ern part Of the county. The tornado
came from that direction, and as the
telegraph wires are down, nothing
can be heard from there.

and investigating aiind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed Of q wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham.
builder and real estate operator, anil
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge Of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
ir the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
5.sountifully provides In the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods Of
all kinds; so, If we but take the pains
to find them, In the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies eX.
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses OF the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief OF these was rare combina-
tion Of the choicest medicinal, roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and ncighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
nial year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
10 the world.
