day was rapidly recovering from the
food conditions Of yesterday and last
night The water on the streets had
fallen until this afternoon the side

feet of water ran through the main
business and residence streets Of the
city; the telephone and telegraph
communication was stopped; that no
train has been within mile of Au-
gusta for forty-eight hours, 1t Is re-
markable that there has not been
greater financial damage and loss of

For several years Venezuela has been
without direct telegraph communion
tion with the outside world. The only
way to send a cable dispatch from the
republic has been TO mail II to some
point where the cable touched.
In 1887 the French Gable company
obtained a concession for the opera
ton of lines, and continued working
until about 1904. There arose, however,
many clashes between the company
and the Venezuelan government. which
ended finally In a complete rupture.
The company thereupon discontinued
its service. and committed its interests
in Venezuela to the care of the French
government, which gave assurances
that II would afford the company full
protection against any arbitrary ac-
ton.

GRAIN MEN RESENT
VOTE OF EXCHANGE
President c. S. Laumeister Fails
to Secure Election to the
Board of Directors
Shipping and Lumber Members
Are Charged With Doing
"Spite Work"

c. s. Laumeister, president of the
Merchants exchange was defeated for
the office of director at the annual
smaller nmber of votes than either of
the other IL candidates. Accord
ing to several prominent grain men
the defeat of Laumeister is credited to
the shipping and lumber members.
who, it is said, are opposed to giving
the grain faction a majority of rep
reservation on the board of directors.
This statement was denied by sew
eral prominent shipping men, who de-
clared that the grain men at present
have majority on the new board. The
nominating committee nominated IL
members of the exchange to be voted
on at yesterdays election. Laumeister
was not one of those nominated. The
grain men, of which Laumeister is a
leading factor, figured that this was a
slight upon them, and in accordance
with one of the bylaws. drew up petit
tion requesting that his name be placed
upon the ballot.
Laumeisters name was put upon the
ballot, but he received only 100 votes.
while the other nominees were credited
with an average Of 1S8 votes. When
the result was posted upon the board
in the exchange much Indignation was
| expressed by the grain men. They then
said that Laumeister's defeat was due
to spite upon the part of the shipping
and lumber members.
1t was reported on the floor of the
exchange that, in order to defeat
Laumeister automobiles were hired to
carry to the polls members who other
wise would not have voted. One of the
prominent grain men protested that it
would have been only a matter of COM
mon courtesy to elect the retiring pres
ident to the board of directors.
Members of the exchange connected
with shipping and lumber interests
denied that any plot to defeat Laum-
eister or any. other grain member ex-
listed and cited for proof the fact that
out of the IL directors elected five were
grain men and the other six scattered.
The new directors of the exchange
elected yesterday are:

"YOU COME HOME!"
FIAT OF GLENN'S WIFE
Georgia Representatives Fight
for Simpler Dress for Women
DispIeases HeIpmeet

ATLANTA, Ga, July 21.-"Quit your
durn old foolishness and come home"
was the postscript to long letter re-
ceived by Representative George Glenn
today from his wife, who has viewed
with apprehension and some jealousy
the result of her husbands campaign
for simpler toilet for the women of
today, in order to give men a clearer
idea of the real woman as she Is, with
out the aids of the modern dress maker
and drug stores.
Glenn's bill prescribes a penalty for
women who make up" and win hus-
bands under false pretenses. Il am
going back to Whitfield county on
Sunday" said Glenn, mo matter what
the danger"
You will find that Whitfield is TAX
ing that bill of yours mighty serious
ly," said NJ. c. Tarver, who has been
elected to succeed Glenn in the legis-
lature. The people up there are on
your trail. and you will have to do
some tall explaining to ever enlist the
sympathy of the women again in your
political campaigns"
Glenn is being bombarded with let
ters from angry women all over the
United States. Some are humorous,
others serious. Probably the most
amusing of all was one inquiring:
Whats the matter with you? Are you
trying to drive us out of business?'
Glenn says there must be consider
able truth IN what he alleges about
women's makeups, or they wouldn't
get so mad about his bill.

always carried a pistol and threatened
to kill himself when she would not do
as he required. on one occasion when
she displeased him he attempted to
strike her with his fist, but the blow
missed its object and instead landed
on the door of a room into which she
ran, shattering 1t from top to bottom.

RECEIVER ADVISES,
'4DON'T TSELLCLAIMS"

Louis II. Mooser, receiver OF the
Market Street bank, has addressed a
circular letter to the depositors ad-
vising them not to sell their claims at
this time and suggesting that those
who have exchanged their pass books
for bonds in the Market Street securi-
ties company recover their books and
surrender the bonds. He states that
it is his plan, unless circumvented by
the directors of the bank, to pay a
dividend of % per cent in the near fu-
ture and to distribute the assets of the
institution as rapidly as possible.
Mooser is somewhat handicapped at
the present time by the efforts of the
old management to retain control AS
part of their plan to reSurrect the in
stitution the old directors organized
the Market Street securities company,
issuing bonds in exchange for the de-
posits. Bonds to the amount of $780,
600 had been sold when the court ap-
pointed the receiver. The deposits
amount to s1,O0O,000 and the old man
agement believes that on this showing
it should be allowed to continue in
control 1t has stated it's intention to
appeal from the order of Judge Sturte-
want appointing the receiver. Mooser
states IhaI aIter conference Will
many attorneys he is led to believe
that the appeal "is frivolous and that
the same cannot possibly be sustained -
A bond will be required in case of an
appeal and Mooser says he has been
informed that the pass books held by
the bank management will be offered
as security. The receiver adds that
he believes the bank management has
no power to do this
In conclusion Mooser asserts that
"if the Market Street securities COM
pany Is enabled to keep the accounts
and pass books no person who holds
any of the bonds of that company will
receive any money for the period of
five years" He argues that the Sc
curities company could, as assignee,
collect the dividends and pay only the
interest to the depositors until the
bonds matured five years hence
