Shreveport, La, May 14.-The
town of Gillian, 80 miles north of
Shreveport, is reported wiped out
by a tornado, and a number of
people killed. A relief train is en-

Later advices to The Times say
that all houses in Gillian except
two are demolished. Gillian is a

one inhabitants.

The Postal Telegraph Company
here has received a message saying
that about half of the inhabitants
of Gillian, La, either have been
killed or injured, and urging that
relief be sent at once.

victims to the list of the dead. The
monetary damage is placed at
half million dollars. The cas-

aMn Petticoats Now Made of Soft
and Clinging Observation-Disclosures

BY MONS. GENE DE PONTIAC.

The summer gown resurrects to
some extent the lingerie ruffies OF
the petticoat, since princess slip
for every gown is hardly possible to
the average woman. When a slip Is
not worn, a short boned girdle Of
lawn, finished with lace at top and
bottom, Is tackled into the lingerie
frock.' It fits snugly, holds the
twaistband in place and makes the
skirt fall smoothly over the hips. But
the petticoat must be tightly fitted al
most to the knees, and the fiounce
must be deep and fiat, trimmed with
fat insertions and straight lace edg-
ings rather than frills. Some Paris
iennes affect the soft lawn jupons OF
violet, pink or blue, but they must
of course correspond to some note in
the costume. Lace-trlmmed pongee
Is popular for wear with silk gowns,
andifthe extreme Of sinuosity be AIM

corsetieres build corset and petticoat

to have the petticoat merely fiounce

corset.
The fancy for color in lingerie
gowns is not confined to slips or EN-
broideries. Batiste and lawn are
shown not only in solid pale tints, but
in deep chambray-like shades-rasp-

AbbeviIIe Forms
Hoke Smith Club.

Special to the Fitzgerald Enterprise
ABBEVILLE, Ga, May Ia
The Abbeville Hoke Smith Club
held a rousing meeting Thursday
night at the county court house.
Col. J. L.. Bankston was elected
president, and Col. o. l.. Little
was elected secretary. The presi-
dent was instructed to appoint
five vice presidents who were to
form working committee to use
their best efforts to carry the
county by as largea vote as posi-
BILE.
There was several short talks by
some of the members. All talked
on very encouraging lines for the
peoples candidate.
There were several people from
different sections of the county
and they freely predicted that
Hoke Smith would carry the
county by three to four hundred
votes.
Rochelle organized a large Hoke
Smith club last night with about
100 members.

dot, which may be self-color, white
or black. Golden and tan tones are
especially popular in cotton stuffs
and look delightfully."- fresh and cool
in combination with white. Nothing
however, could be more refreshing on
a summer day than gown of sheer,
white, lace-inserted lingerie, with a
pale green silk fiounce and touches of
pale green embroidery.
Still another variant OF the colored
lingerie shirt-waist appears in waists
embroidered with a darker tone of
the same color-light blue embroid-
cred in darker blue, pale pink en-
broidered in rose, maize in brown.
The corselet belt is effective and
very popular, reaching we'll over the
hips and carried up just below the
bust, thus preserving the short-waist-
ed effect. Sashes may also carry out
this idea, or gauzy scarves of muslin,
nlet, Cluny or Irish. An adaptation

die fashion and brought forward
again over the hips, with the long
ends hanging in front and finished
with fringe or embroidery. Some
times the scarf is tied on the side;
sometimes 1t falls from the high
wasted back like a Vatican pleat.
Most of these sashes, however are
made in sections and not actually
wound around the waist, as even
an additional fold of mousseline Is
avoided. All sorts of girdle ideas
are worked out in narrower ribbons,
and shoulder scarves with floating
ends drape bodies in all sorts of
picturesque and original ways. With
the exquisite gauze and lowered rib
bons now to be had in all the shops,
q simple summer frock can easily be
made to have quite elaborate air.
The wearing of artificial flowers as
boutonnieres has not taken hold in
this country, where women seem to
prefer the genuine article, but 1t is
pronounced vogue among the smart
women abroad. The blossoms are

Convicted Out Of Their Own
Mouths.

Shooting Off the mouth is very |
much like shooting off gun. In
the hands of a hunter who is
excited and shoots wildly in his
eagerness to secure game, it often
happens that he shoots a fellow
hunter; andso the fellow who shoots |
off his mouth, in his eagerness to
get what he is after sometimes
overshoots the mark and wounds
the cause he is trying to serve.
The Commerce News is a raving,
rabiG Joe Brown supporter, and in
print it shoots off it's mouth with
the most intense earnestness and
tireless energy. The game it is at
ter is to make votes for Little Joe,
but shooting off it's mouth with
this end in view cannot have any
other effect than to open the eyes
of the voters TO the menace that is
contained to the state in his candi-
dacy. Says the Commerce News:
1t cost Little Joe $1,000 to
publish the list of the Fulton
County club in the Sunday
Journal and the triWeekly.
Well, it was money well spent,
for many who saw it in the
Journal now say that even the
Journal has deserted Hoke and
is now for Little Joe
1t must be assumed that its in
formation as to what was paid to
have the ad referred to printed in
the Journal is correct; and also
that, as champion of Joe Brown,
it is correctly informed as to the
purpose sought to be accomplished
by the printing Of the ad. "Many
who saw it in the Journal now say
that even the Journal has deserted
Hoke" is not exactly correct, for
Their isn't a fool so big as that in
Georgia. But the ad. was put in
the Journal for the purpose of
making the people believe that
A tlanta was overwhelmingly for
Joe Brown. The list contained
nearly or quite as many names as
there will he votes cast in that
city. The people of the state
were to be made to believe that
Governor Smiths home city and
the chief city in the state was al
most unanimously opposed to him.
and be so led to flock to Joe
Browns standard.
This claim was false claim.
The count of the votes will show
that Atlanta is for Hoke Smith.
But even one who may doubt this
now, if he is capable of reasoning
at all, knows that it would be-
impossible for the governor to be
practically without friends or sup
port in the capital city which was
also his home city. Without re
ferring to the exposition of this
fraud that has been made every
body knew that the claim was
false, and that the list that was
published was a fraud.
So then, to gain votes for Joe
Brown, in the absence of some
thing worthy, a bare faced fraud
was palmed off On the people, and
for this the Joe Brown managers
paid $1,000. There must be a big
fund where SO much money can be
spent for just one item, for the
printing of this ad. in the Journal
was only one item of large ex-
pensc account incurred on account
of the Joe Brown campaign. Who
puts up this moueN?
Here then the Joe Brown bOos-
ter shooting off his mouth, in an
endeavor to catch votes for little
Joe, let's out the fact that some
body is putting up much money
for Joe Brown and that one big
sum, at least, has been spent to
