directly in the path of the uncOntroll-

wiped off the map. The 400 inhabi-

had warning of the approach OF the

thought TO be doomed. Five hundred
men employed there worked all night

The Rev. J. Z. Cathell of this city
one of the most prominent public
speakers in the country, has just re-
turned from a lecture trip through
Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri. Speak
ing on the political situation in these
states Mr.. Cathell says the predom-
mating sentiment is for Taft although
in Iowa and Indiana his chances are
somewhat affected by republican fac
tional fights"
Mr. Cathell states that there is a
strong Taft sentiment in Kentucky,
but Bryan will probably carry that
state by small majority. He makes
the remarkable prediction that Taft
will carry the state of Tennessee. He
says that in Tennessee the democrats
are strongly opposed to Bryan, while
Taft is favored because he is in sym
pathy with Rooseveltian policies.
