Proceedings OF Sunday School Convention.

The annual Sunday School Convention
Of the Beaverdam Association convened
with Double Springs ohnroh (Auderson
county, on Friday, March 20, 1907.
Owing to the small number in attend
snce the organization was POSTPONED
until the next day. Notwithstanding
only few were present, some splendid
..s!ks were made. Rev. j. u. Moore
talked on practical Sunday school ques-
tions. We think it unfortunate that
these talks were not heard by more peo-
pie. 4.asc \.
The attendance was larger the next day,
and after songs of praise and devotional
exercises the convention organized by
eleoting Rev. j. 81. Stone moderator and
T. NJ. Elrod clerk.
Many important questions were dis
cussed by the speakers of the convention.
Among the number that we think will
bring good results was "The Propriety
of Superintendents' and Teaohers'
Conference to meet in Conjunction with
the Convention" The idea expressed
was that If the superintendent of the
Sunday schools would meet and ex-
change views as to the best methods Of
conducting schools good results would
come from 1t. A live superintendent
means live school, and much enthu-
siasm GOULD be aroused In meeting of
this kind.
w. j. Jones, T. M. Elrod and j. O..
Alexander were appointed O committee
to arrange program for the occasion.
The following were appointed an exc
cutive committees: Rev. A. p. Marett. #.
M. Elrod, X. M. Cary, @. r. D. Bnrns
and II. p. Wood.
The time, place aud program were left
In the hands of the executive committee.
It is hoped that the next convention
will be an interesting one and interest In
Sunday school work increased, as 1t Ia
much needed.
It was expected that Sunday would be
the best day of the convention, but q
cold rain caused disappointment
The delegates and, visitors were we'll
cared for by the good people of Double
Springs. Their Kindness will long be re.
membered. Clerk.

Death AND RUIN IN TORNADO.
SWEEPS THROUGH LOUISIANA, MIssis
slPPI AND ALABAMA.

New Orleans, April GA soore OF per-
sons were killed to-day by tornado
which swept over 800 miles across por-
tions of Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama. Parts Of four towns we're devas-
tated with damage exceeding $4,000.
The wind damaged property, crops and
telegraph wires throughout Its course.
The tornado began at Alexandria, La,
soon after O'Clock this morning, killing
four persons, probably Fatally injurlng
three and seriously injuring thirteen
others. Soon after daylight 1t ,ueared
the Mississippi river, killing Ave persons
at jackson, La, while ut Bauyou Sara.
La, at least half dozen others were re-
ported killed. There was one fatal In
jury at Jackson.
The tornado next appeared at Carson,
Miss, where the greatest property dam
age was done, and disappeared about
noon near Selma, Ala, whore the inhabi-
tants saw wbirling clouds rise into the
air as they crossed tho river. A negro
was reported killed near Selma. ~.
At jackson three female inmates Of
the insane asylum and two negroes were
killed. ~
Alexandria, o town of about 10000 In
habitants, had fearful experience.
When the tornado struck, the electric
lights went out, the orsoking of falling
buildings could be heard above the noise
OF the wind, and vivid lightning flashes
showed such sights as an empty Iron
Mountain passenger train rolling over
and over. A heavy hail storm added
to the general discontinue. Tho main
portion Of Alexandria escaped tho worst
of the tornado, which out o path through
the northern portion of the town, resi-
dence quarter.
About o score OF homes were demol-
ished, fifty were damaged, and alto
Qether ahnnt nne hundred h.!!a.Is5
were wrecked, including several business
houses. A freak of the wind drove q
small section of house into an empty
passenger coach, wedging these two
bodies almost inextricably together. In
the woods about that town the tornado
cut down trees for about nine miles.
Several houses were blown down at Pine
vile and injuries were reported. The
hail did much damage to drops.
At jackson, La, the insane asylum
was wrecked, with loss of about $780,
600. In addition to three inmates being
killed many others were injured. Seve-
raj cases of chronic hysteria are reported
to have been shocked into what their
physicians declare may prove permanent
recovery.
At Bauyou Sara several passengers on
the steamer Betsy Ann had q thrilling
escape. The Betsy Ann was severely
wrecked. While breaking timbers from
the steamer and from the shore few
through the air the crew got all the pas
sengers safely ashore.
At Carson, Miss, the Mississippi Gen.
tral depot was blown down, also a
church, o school house, two business
buildings and several cabins. From
Carson the storm CROSS Oh t',e State limo
into Alabama, where 1t began to lose
much Of It's power.
Peculiar weather conditions prevailed
all day throughout South Louisiana and
Mississippi. Sudden rains were followed
by clear skies and gusts of wind we're In

RYAN DOESN'T WANT AN OFFICE
Friend Of Millionaire Says He's Not
Hunting Political Honors.

Richmond, Va, May I3.-"The re-
port emanating from this city to the
effect that Thomas F. Ryan had ute
rlor motives in participating to very
limited extent in Virginia politics has
done that gentleman a grave inius-
tlce, said one of the closest personal
friends of the Nelson county and New
York millionaire who was in the CITY
today. Il saw the suggestion some
time ago that possibly Ryan might be
seeking some political preferment. al
ludlng to his membership on the state
committee, and the extensive improve
ments to his Nelson county estate.
FROM that, the report has grown and
been added to and made to appear that
Ryan is seeking everything in the
political scale, from member of the
state senate to member of congress.
United States senator, governor, and
finally president of the United States.
happen to know that Ryan is after
nothing of the sort and that there is no
political office he would accept. He
told me this personally, less than two
weeks ago. What is more, RYAN is
preparing to retire from active business
and to make his future home on
MS handsome estate in Nelson
county. He will there engage in farm
ing, cattle raising, horse raising and
such other pastimes as will appeal to
him. He will quit business. He has
already accumulated enough, and he
now desires to give up business cares.
de wants to live with his family. his
books, his horses, on his farm where
ne will be free from the many cares
that have engrossed him for so many
years.
1t would seem that this report will
settle once and for all time the rumors
that have been current as to the activ-
lty OF the great financier, in Virginia.
This report has been in circulation for
many weeks and has given rise to many
suggestions. 1t was pretty generally
believed in this city at one time that
Mr.. Ryan was either after the puber-
material chair at the end of the present
term of Governor Swanson, or that he
aSplred to wear the senatorial topa.
The possibility of his presidential aspi-
ratlons are believed to have originated

Virginia Cattle Best In World.

Richmond, Va, May IA prom
inent cattleman from Kansas CITY.
when interviewed on Cary street yes
terday regarding the state of the mar
ket, had the following interesting in
formation to give out respecting South
west Virginia as a cattle producing
section.
1t is not generally known" said he.
that that vast and rich domain, being
part and lying west of the Appa-
lachlan chain, and known locally as
southwest Virginia, is the greatest cat
Tie producing section in the world. I
speak from the standpoint of quality.
not quantity.
IL would probably interest you to
learn that it is not at all unusual for
Ohlo cattiemen to purchase from the
owners Of fine blue grass farms in Vir-
gnia their output of young two-year-
old steers. That these steers are taken

markets and sold at an enormous profit
Nelson, Morris & Co., Swift and
- the armour Packing Co., the
National Packing Co., Schwarzchild g.
Sulzberger, with other packers of
national reputation, have their BUYERS
constantly in Southwest Virginia.
Here every fall majority of the
tat cattle raised is purchased and shin
ped West. There is also a considerable
portion of this cattle exported annually
direct to the markets of Liverpool, at
winch port they outrank in quality and
price all cattle shipped from this coun-
try.
you may think that 1 am putting
TINS little strong, but by reference to
the statistics compiled in the Depart-
ment OF Agriculture at Washington if
WIN be found that but two localities in
the world furnish grasses with the fat
tenlng qualities of that grown in South
west Virginia-a portion of the State of
Iexas and part of the steepes of Bra
zil."
