Many Lives Lost and Many Houses
Are Destroyed.

A dispatch from Monterey, Mexico,
says the Santa Catarina River has
returned to its banks, leaving
score Of desolation and destruction
in the southern part OF the city.
Fourteen lives are known to have
been lost, and estimates place the
number as high as fifty. The exact
figures will never pe known, as the
Barrio OF San Luisito, where most
OF the damage occurred, Is inhabit-
ed by the poorer classes mostly, and
many occupied houses were washed
away. Over 900 houses have been
washed away in this one district, and
practically all those left standing are
more or less damaged.
The people returned to the strick-

the time in cleaning the deposits of
mud from the houses. Many fami-
lies have lost all their possessions
and there is great suffering among
them. In the city proper several
houses caved in as a result OF the
storm and the damage all over the
city has been great.
The Monterey bath house was
flooded by rain. One man lost his
life In the swimming pool. Houses
throughout the lower sections OF the
city were inundated and the fami-

WAR TO THE LIMIT
WITH NO QUARTER ASKED OR
GIVEN WITH CONTROL

zation as the Stake Is Declared by
the Progressive Republicans.
War to the limit with no quarter
asked or given and with the control
OF the Republican national organi.
zation the one great prize at stake
Is officially declared b ythe Progress
sive Republicans.
The Republican National Conyen-
tion Of 1912 is the promised field OF
the spectacular battle Of the cam
paign already initiated. The tariff
and how to revise it furnishes the
line Of demarcation between the on
posing forces. A dispatch from Chi
cago says:
Senator Albert B. Cummins of
Iowa homeward bound from Wash
ington. flung down the gauntlet and
for all practical purposes officially
and formally delivered the political
ultimatum which opens hostilities
between the Progressive and the old
order, which has aligned In Wash
ington by Senator Aldrich.
The big items emphasized by Sem
ator Cummins as critical points to
be pushed to the fore by the Pro-
gressives are these:
1. Placing in control at the head
OF organized Republicanism men
who will stand absolutely by plat
form pledges.
2. Struggle for this policy at
every convention, local, Congress
ional or State between now and 1912
where there are enough Progressive
Republicans to make 1t worth while.
3. No general revision of the tar
IN for perhaps a decade, but re-
vision from time to time in partic-
ular schedules as expert investiga-
tion demonstrates to be necessary
and at the same time conforming
with the broad principle of protec-
ton.
4. Appointment of an expert tar
in commissioner at the earliest prac-
ticable moment to furnish this in
formation to Congress.
5. And, particularly, no oppo-
sition to President Taft-whom the
Progressives believe to have a thor
oughly progressive program in hand
for his administration-at least un-
til the Presidential policy demon
strates the contrary.
What immediate step will be
taken by the Progressives?" Sena-
tor Cummins was asked.
1--WE shall present the issue fatty
to every Republican convention be-
tween the present and the National
Convention of 1912 where 1t Is pos
sible for the issue to be presented.
That issue is: Shall the men now
in control of the party's destinies
be permitted further to disregard
plain party declarations?"

Brave Engineer, Fatally Hurt
Told Rescuers
TO ATTEND OTHERS
Passengers who Were in Bristol
Wreck Tell Graphic Story of the
Bravery of Engineer Bush, Who
Was Fatally Hurt in the Accident
That Wrecked His Train.

Passengers who were on the
Southern train wrecked near Bristol.
Va, Thursday evening larrived at
Atlanta Friday night, bringing de-
tails of the bravery of Engineer
Samuel Bush. OF Knoxville, who died
Friday as result of his injuries.
Bush was slowly and painfully
working his way out of the wreck
OF his engine. scalded and fright
fully bruised, when the few pas
sengers who retained their senses.
dug into the mass OF twisted and
burning iron to meet him.
He was lifted out upon the ground
and hurried call for physicians
resulted in the discovery that there
was not a doctor on the train.
AS the passengers began a hunt
for whiskey to stimulate him and
were breaking open suit cases in
their search, Bush asked for a last
look at his old engine, as hopeless
a wreck as was its engineer.
When they came to him with the
liquor, he begged them to look after
Iho CohioIl ol the passengers. Told
that no passengers had been injured.
he said:
That's good. But before 1 take
this whiskey. I want you men to
smell my breath and testify, II need
be, that I had not been drinking
when this happened"
Although suffering horrible ago
nies, the brave engineer would not
tounch the stimulant until four of
the men had smelled his breath and
promised to bear witness to his sob
riety.
All an engineer has Is his rec
ord" he said feebly, land he cannot
afford to have anything against
that" And Engineer Rush went out
upon his last run with his record
spoiless.
Engineer Rush was a native OF
Bedford county, Virginia. being a
member OF an old and widely known
family in that section of the State.
He had been in the service OF the
Southern Railway for more than
thirty years. He leaves an estate
valued at 100000.

COMPANY TO MAKE PICKERS.
Preparing to Equip Two of Fourch-

The Augusta Chronicle says a
company has been formed to perfect
two of the Fourcher cotton pickers
and put them in the field for the
final and thorough test. Organiza-
ton was had a few days ago.
The stock subscriptions foot up
between $4,000 and $1,000, and
were made by a number of gentle
men of Augusta in stock-takings OF
$3.50 to $500 each. This prelimi-
nary company secures an interest In
the different patents. If the picker
develops into the success that is hop
ed for 1t and claimed for 1t, the fur
ther capitalization for manufacture
OF the machine will be quickly pro-
ceeded with.
The plan Is to have the inventor
go to one of the big manufactures
OF the east and perfect and turn out
two pickers. The sum named is
fully ample for that purpose. Eve
ry facility will be provided to en-
able Mr.. Furcher to manufacture the
pickers. He will leave for the east
in few days.
One of the best known and one
of the best equipped manufacture.
In the country has been arranged
with in which to make the pickers
When the machines are complete I'd
they will be tried out in the cottoI
field and on this practical test o.
the perfected picker will depend tht
fate of the invention.
