No Real Opposition
Was Found by Wood

East, as well as West, are strongly in
favor of the movement
I think II can be safely said that
there is no opposition at Washington
to the plans for the Improvement Of
Pearl Harbor. Some congressman, II
is true, may not fully grasp the situa.
ton. and others, as a matter of policy,
may deem II unwise to authorize any
such expenditure at the present time,
but believe that the bills, reported
by the House Committee on Naval Al.
fairs. will be given right of way by the
Speaker and that they will pass by a
strong non-partisan vote, which Will
mean the ultimate expenditure OF
many millions OF dollars In and around
Oahu. and in addition to doubling the
accommodations at Fort Shafter, al
ready provided for There will be
large artillery post on the Honolulu
side of the entrance to Pearl Harbor
and regiment, II not two regiments,
of troops, located on the Government
reservation at Leilehua, the many ad.
vantages OF this exceptionally fine 10
cation being fully appreciated by Gen
eral Bell, chief of staff. Thus will be
ushered In new era In the history
OF Hawaii.
Aside from hearing the report of
Secretary Wood, there was very little
doing at the meeting. The Pacific
Mail proposal was taken up again by
L. A. Thurston. F. l.. Waldron, one
of the committee on the prosal, stated
that he had seen the agents of the
Pacific Mail here, who said that they
have communicated with the main of.
fee about the matter. Until further
information was received nothing
could be done.

a RELIABLE REMEDY FOR THE
Whisky and Beer Habit

Very few men become drunkards be-
cause they like liquor. II is frequent
ly the moderate drinker, who before he
realizes his condition, has become a
drunkard. The nervous system, hav-
ing become accustomed to stimulants,
Is unable to do the same amount or
quality OF work without liquor. hence
the victim drinks more and more. This
Is a state OF disease and should be
treated by orrine. 1t destroys the de-
sire for liquor, so that the drink Is not
missed. There Is no loss OF time or
detention from work when It Is used.
Orrine is prepared In two forms: No.

in food or drink without the knowledge
of the patient; No. for those who
take the remedy OF their own free will
Both forms are guaranteed. A reg

FORMER MAYOR SEEMS TO FEEL
T. THAT HE is STILL
POPULAR

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March IL.
Former Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz
walked out into the sunshine from
the Criminal Court building yester-
day practically free man.
For the first time since last June
he put his foot on the sidewalk with
cut the shadow of a guard at his
side. For the first time In nine
months he was free to go where he
desired unrestricted.
At the entrance to the Criminal
Court building an auto was waiting.
Near II for a minute or two after he
had regained his liberty, Schmitz
gtood on the sidewalk accepting the
congratulations of his friends and
attorneys. From where he stood he
could see the picturesque ruin OF the
City Hall over which he had ruled
before his downfall.
Cheered by City Employees
Over in that direction the news OF
the former Mayors liberation had
leaped as II by magic. Employees of
the city and men who had known
the Mayor when he was II power
stood about the pile of ruins and ut
the doors of the wooden shacks clus-
tered about Its base in which some
of the business of the city is now
| done. They were waiting for a
glimpse of the man who had been
Mayor. Nine months almost he had
been In prison and few of them had
Eeen his face. But they remember
ed, and as the auto carrying
Schmitz flashed past they waved
their hats, saluted and sometimes
pheered
Schmitz took 1t as an ovation, a
sort of little triumph, and grinned
ell the way to his home on McAllis-
ter street, where his wife threw her
self into his arms.
Schmitz was admitted to bail in a
sum that would ransom king. T
II. Williams and VIM. J. Dingee are
his sureties
= Today Scnmitz is again the mas
ter of his own movements. II he de-
sired to go to his lawyers Offices Il
is not necessary for him to secure
the permission of the court. II h

niously brought back to the insani
tary prison at Ingleside.

Tonight is a night Of tension. Re-
ports Of missing men, even Of missing
families, are being reported from
man to man. The Augusta Chronicle
got out its Thursday edition in abbre-
Waited form at p. m. The Augusta
Herald, afternoon, could not be pub
l.shed Wednesday or Thursday.
Reviewing the loss situation, doz-
en- prominent citizens in the Albion
Hotel tonight put the municipal loss
at $250,O00. The loss to merchants in
1883 was $1O3.0OO This time it can
be no less. The loss on cotton is not
severe, only $500 bales being water
damaged. The loss to freight in de-
pots is $4,000. The loss to railroad
terminals will not be more than $780,
900, including the loss Of the South
ern bridge. This bridge was to have
been torn away and does not affect
the Southern service. The consequent
loss of the shutting down of the big
cotton mills and other industries can
only be conjectured.

camden, Aug. 30.-The body of the
little Hinson boy, who was with Mr..
Geo. RADON when the bridge went
down. was found in Baum's swami
today.
Mr.. Savage's colored drivers body
was also found some miles down the
river today.
Mr.. John Mickle's two mules and
wagon. and horse with a fine Texas
saddle. were found at the old ferry.
No one around Camden claims the
horse and saddle. so it is supposed
that 1t came from above Camden.

RAILROADS FARING BADLY.
Traffic on the Coast Line Will be I'm.

Florence. Aug. 27.-Traffic between
the North and South via the Atlantic
Coast Line will be considerably delay

Onrush OF the waters from the storm
swept mountains Of North and South
Carolina to the sea. Up to noon to-

Spartanburg. Aug. 27.-Spartan-

Railroad traffic has been resumed be-

and gas companies are working on
full time. Since Tuesday Spartanburg
has been almost completely cut of

have been received from Charleston
since Tuesday until today, when We'd

rier was received. The cotton mills
have suffered very little damage from
the food. The only serious damage
was at Pacolet No. 2. The dam at
the mill washed away. The steel
bridge across the river was also
swept away. The county has sustain
ed heavy loss by bridges being carried

as the SeabOard Air Line people are

Florence and Fayettville, but this
arrangement had to be abandoned to-
day and the Seaboard trains are run
around from Raleigh to Columbia via
Wilmington. Goldsboro and Florence,
as that is their only chance Of getting
though. Several Seaboard trains
have passed through here since last
night and they are al more than 12
hours late.
Wateree Bridge, at Wateree, on
the Coast Line is threatened with de-
struction. Lynche's Creek trestle,
between Sumter and Darlington, went
down last night and no trains are
operated over that division. The sit
uation is indeed serious and there is
no telling what will happen next
AS yet no trains have been wrecked
by washouts on the Coast Line and
the officers have given positive in
structions to run their trains with
every possible care and precaution to
avoid accidents. 1t is stated that IL
the Seaboard gets trains over their
line within two weeks they will be
doing well, there being so much OF
their road bed and so many bridges

SEVERAL NEGROES DROWNED.
Fire Added to the Horror of Storm
in Augusta.

Augusta. Ga. Aug. 28.-Flood wa
ters' at Augusta began receding this
afternoon. They reached the height
OF 40 feet. probably as high as the
food OF 1888. which caused damages
to the extent Of one million dollars.
Rain has ceased in the upper val
ley and there Is danger of no further
losses. The damage is approximately
s76o.oo0 to $1,000. 900. and consists
OF damage to stocks Of goods and pri-
vate property. losses on the streets,
destruction Of the city and one rail-
road bridge across the Savannah
River and breaks In the canal banks.
There are dependent on the canal for
power eight large and small cotton
mills. At the time Of the 1888 flood
like breaks required one hundred
days to repair. Thousands Of mill op-
eratives will be idle for three to four
months.
While the food was at it's height
Ave fires broke out. adding terror to
night OF terror. The Mcdaniel
builders material establishment in
North Augusta burned. A train of 40
cars belonging to the Southern Rail-
way burned in Hamburg, Just across
the river. Nixon's lime. cement and
hay warehouse; a huge quantity of
lumber belonging to the Georgia Rail-
road yards. In the city. burned. There
were severa! other small fires. The
flames from the burning structures H.
Illuminated the skies and sent horror
to the hearts Of the people.
The Augusta Railway and Elec-
trio Company cannot run their cars
for three days. No power plant Is In
operation; the telephone lines are
not doing business; the railroads are
accepting no passengers. The water
service Is crippled but intact. The
gas company Is impaired. but not shut
down. ID
There have been ten or fifteen
drownings. mostly OF negro Iaborers.
