TOWN 4 COMPLETE WRECK
While Two or Three Houses in the Outskirts Are Standing, the Town
 Proper is Merely Tangled Mass.


 Jonesboro.-Later news from Fish CT. brought by victims of the storm and members of the relief party that went there from here. confirms the story of destruction and devastation wrought by the tornado Tuesday morning. The number of dead from the storm is not so great as was al firse reported. but three having been killed outright They were Jasper Bass. William Free and Mrs. E.Ie Stone.
 Sixteen of the more seriously in lured were brought 10 Jonesbor0 and eleven of them are now under treatment in St. Bernards hospital The other five are in private homes here The slightly injured number % or B. but only those whose in iuries were severe were brough, here.
 A relief party left Jonesboro for Fisher and returned with the injured. The relief party was made up of Dr.. Alexander. Dr Altman, Dr. Ratliff, Dr Lutterloh J R Smith, Allen ! Barton.
 At Fisher there is desolation every where. Practically the whole town was wrecked While two or three houses i'll the outskirts escaped de- struetion, those in the town proper were hurled in,o heaps Of wreekage and wonder is expressed by those who have seen the awful effects of the storm that the number of killed and injured was not many times as great as it is.
 There were many narrow escapes, some of them almost miraculous One of the most noteworthy was the es- cape of Mir and Mrs A. P Harris and their two babies. When the storm descended in its fury Mir. and Mrs. Harris. realizing that flight would be futile, gathered their littie family in the center of the room and prayerful- ly awaited what they felt must be certain death. In a little while, al though il seemed an age to them. they found themselves out of doors. their home having been wrecked and blown completely from around them without injuring them further than a few scraeehes. Other instances of escape almost as remarkable are re ported.
 There is much Restitution al Fisher and 10 relieve this Jonesboro has started relief fund and other com munities will doubtless do the same.

Fault of Newspapers.

oAA mug nam -1<cUB6E.
 The Legislature seems eager on freak Legislation and hesitant on the need full. 1t Is now bent on punishing those newspapers that did not sup port prohibition.
 The Ledger does not accept liquor advertising, but it protests against the idea of prohibiting Alabama pa pers from doing what the Atlanta pa- pers can do. what the Nashville and Memphis papers can do.
 The newspapers of Alabama have been most tolerant and even kind to the members of the Legislature. motives and controlling powers behind so many of them, known at least to the daily papers. This tolerance has ceas- ed to be a virtue and the newspapers permit and even aid in the political ambitions of men. who once elected, turn with fierce malice and dare, to speak with contempt of the news papers. The press should be true to itself. It can aid in the election of broader and fairsr men to office by beginning in time. The good Lord knows that we have need for a few more good broad men in State poli- tics.
 Said a banker. not in politics: There has been no large investment of new money m AIdDAma ln tnr00 years There has been no immigration ta Alabama in three yeafs.''
 We newspapers are partly respon- sible for this. We could have secured the election of broader men with more liberal ideas
 There must be 6 change of policy We cannot have a Legislature that may forbid banks receiving deposits of any but certain set of men. nor one that will forbid banks to lend money to any but men who think e certain way, nor one that may forbid news papers to mention any local news There are some who think that way now.
 This Legislature has started a policy that can kill State. The newspa- pers know better what to publish than men who never have studied the sub :. ject at ali.
 It is partly the fault of the press than we are in the condition we are now, for 1t could have prevented the election of certain men and could have aided in the election of others. We help hes-a-good-fellow" to get job and he has no appreciation of obligation, nor of duties.
