TORNADO CLAIMS LIVES.
Three Persons Dead and Several In.
jured In the South.

Memphis, Tenn. May 7.-Three per-
sons dead, several others injured, con.
siderable property loss and demoral-
ization of traffic resulted from the
storm of wind and rain which swept
over southern Arkansas, western Ten.
nessee and Mississippi. The wind,
which attained almost the proportions
of a tornado, razed a number of small
buildings and tangled telegraph and
telephone wires, while the rain, which
was the heaviest reported In years,
caused numerous wash-outs along the
lines OF the different railroads, delay
ing traffic besides causing other
damage. The greatest damage and
the loss of life occurred in Arkansas.
At Marche, the Polish settlement was
badly damaged and John Lukasse-
wicz and an unidentified man were
killed, Venceslaus Sczczepaiank sus-
tanned injuries which will probably re-
suit fatally, and several other persons
were less seriously injured.

can find out what 1t has to do with

Every Dollar Must DO $50 Worth OF

First. We should find out how much
money We have. or learn who Is the
man that Is to buy our cotton. Ac-
cording to statistics OF the United
States mint. in 1873. thirteen OF the
principal countries Of the world had
$4.590.030.000. We also find that
on December 81. 1906. the supply OF
the money OF the world was $6,sSS.-
100000. less the difference In the
value OF tho silver money and silver
bullion In silver standard countries.
This shows our money has increased
only about so or 60 per cent In the
last twenty-five years: while our cot
ton has increased from 3.93O.50S
bales In 1879 to i3.5l0.9s2 in 1907
