of the Southern Canal would be
resumed in a few days and hence
provision should be made for three
bridges over said canal and that

with that, the matter could not
be acted upon at this meeting as he
had announced on opening the
meeting the work for the day.

Leaving damage from the east to
the west coast, the hurricane pass

the wind has shifted from the
northeast TO the southwest, still
flowing thirty and forty-five miles
an hour.
The damage to the city Of Jacks
sonvlllc is confined to the sinkln-
OF several bargcs and small craft,
the destruction Of roofs and signs
and S25, 900 greenhouse near tho
city. The rain during the hurri-
cane. 5.32 inches during the in
tensity Of the storm, has also add
ed to the damage.
Wires are still down all through
the state and are very little better
than yesterday. Reports that
nave been received indicate a gale
of over sixty miles in every city
IN the peninsula and some times
mounting as high as eighty or
ninety.
The whole east coast section is
still to be heard from. A wire was
Opened to st. Augustine and Fer
nandlna this afternoon. Damage
in the two towns alone will amount
into the thousands. No fatalities
have been reported. The wires
south of Tampa and middle Flor

slblc TO get detailed information.
One other fatality due to tho
Storm has been reported. An cleo
triclan in Deland met instant death

More encouraging news comes
from the state. Outs de of the
damage to the crops, there has
been comparatively little loss, con-

storm. Every city heard from
through the state reports the elec-
trlcal plants dead In Jackson

At Sea Breeze the bridge over
the Halifax River was washed
away, as was many Of the beach
cottages.
On the west coast the low tides
are normal, and on the east coast
the high tides were as usual on
account Of the changed direction
Of the wind. TO date nothing has
been heard from the ci les south
OF Fort Pierce on the east coast,
but with that except on conditions
throughout the state are known.

HURRICANE PASSED THE SEA

Savannah. Ga, Oct. 2O-Unless
the hurricane is playing "possum
indications early tonight were
that the storm has passed to sea.
1t has been almost dead calm all
Afternoon, due, according to the
Weather Bureau, to the fact that
this immediate vicinity was in the
center of the cycle-in the hole
of the doughnut-shaped storm, as
lit were.
The conduct Of the storm has
been so erratic, however, that
shipping interests are playing
safe and staying in port until pos
tive information about the dis
turbance has been received.
The sea across the Tybee Bar is
running 50 high that vessels have
not ventured to cross doday and
tugs which put out from Savannah
in search of vessels in distress
were forced to turn back and wait
for fairer sailing. The City Of
Memphis, Boston to Savannah, has
been hove to thirty miles off Ty-
bee since Monday night. Near
the Memphis there is n five -masted d
schooner, name unknown, which
has been in distress all day. The
Memphis was unable to give as
sistance. The tug McCauley will
go to the rescue tonight OF the
sea outside will permit.
A dispatch to the Morning News
by mail from Brunswick today
narrates the facts of the storm S
visit to that port.
While no lives were lost, there
was great damage along the wa.
ter front. Two men who were
hunting marsh hens when the
storm broke, had not been ac.
,unted for this forenoon, but they
are not believed to have perished
The tide at Brunswick was
higher than it has been in decades
The water covered the docks and
backed up into the river-front
streets, several stores on New Cas-
tie Street being under water.
Fifty feet of the government sea
wall which protects the parade
ground at Fort Screven, was wash
ed away by the highest tide that
has been experienced on the is
land in many years. The railroad
tracks are still under water and

Ireceiving any extra pay. The
written opinion of the Parish legal
adviser, on the subject, having
been requested and being at hand
as follows, was read, towit:
To the Honorable President and
the Members of the Police jury
of Iberia Parish.
Gentlemen-In accordance with
your resolutions asking an opin-
ion as to the right Of your Honor
ableBody to pay to the Chairman
of the Board Of Health Of your
Parish moneys in excess of the
stipulated salary fixed by a reso-
luton of the Police Jury, for ser
vices rendered, ! am of opinion
that the salary Of such officer, hav-
ing been definitely fixed, that un-
der the provision of Article mum
bered AZ Of the State Constitution
of 1898 which reads: "The Gen
eral Assembly shall have no power
to grant or authorize any Parish
or municipal authority to grant
any extra compensation, fee or al
lowance to a public officer, agent
servant or contractor, nor pay,
nor authorize the payment for any
claim against the State or any par
ish or municipality thereof, under
any agreement or contract made.
without express authority of law
and all such authorized agree
ments and contracts shall be null
and void y Which article being
mandatory, precludes your body
from granting any compensation
in excess thereto. to any officer
whose stipend has been regularly
fixed by a resolution Of your
board.
And your further request for
an opinion as to the respon-
sibility of the parish for the eX-
ira meals served to the prisoners
while doing service on the public
roads, ] would submit that your
contract regarding the boarding
of prisoners, (while not as explicit
as it might be- stipulates bodily
that the parish shall pay 40 cents
per diem for feeding prisoners
and under such regulations any
extra charge to the one stipulated
and contracted is, in my opinion
without warrant.
Respectfully submitted,
ANDREW THORPE
Of Counsel.

THE RAISING OF THE
MAINE.

The president is reported t.
have approval the plans proposed
! by the United States Army engl
neers for the removal of the wreck
Of the battleship Maine, destroy G
IN 1898. from the harbCr OF Tia
Nana. The work is at t. be al
l.ot ed to ,nc Arbuc kles or to any
other firm of contractors, but IS
to be carried on by the govern
ment under the direction of the
army engineers.
The plan to be followed IN re
moving the old wreck is simple
The hull is to be entirely sur
rounded by Golfer dam of steel
piLng. When this inclosure is
complete the water inside is to be
pumped out and the wreck expos
ed, as it now lies on the mud OF
Havana harbor. Preliminary in
yestigations already made indicate
that the wreck has not sunk much
if any developer in the mud than it
did at first, so that no very con
siderable excavation will have to
be done to fully expose the ship
after the water has been removed
from the Golfer dam.
1t is believed that this process
will permit Of a thorough lnspec-
tion Of the wreck and permit the
observers to determine definitely
the cause Of the disaster. Repre-
sentatives Of Spain have been in
yited not only to inspect the wreck
when it is uncovered, but also to
watch the entire progress Of the
work. 1t will be remembered that
the court of inquiry, assembled
Immediately after the explosion,
found that the destruction of the
ship was due to some outside
agency. This verdict has always
been unsatisfactory to some, and
as it was based solely on inspec-
tlon Of the remains of the ship
that remained exposed and to the
reports Of divers, it is barely pos
sible that an error may have been
made in fixing the true cause of
the catastrophe.
Ii an examination of the wreck
should show that the explosion
which destroyed the shipe came
from within, and not from without,
the world is entitled to know it
and Spain to be relieved from the
stigma which has always attached
to the charge Of having blown up
the ship while riding peaceably at
anchor in Havana harbor.
The exposure Of the wreck will
also facilitate the searching Of the
ship for the bodies still supposed
to lie entombed in the huIl and
their removal for proper sepulcher
if found. 1t has been suggested
that after the wreck has been
thoroughly examined it should be
raised, towed out to sea and perm
anently sunk in deep water, that
being considered a more fitting dis
position Of the old hulk, around
which so many hallowed memories
cling, than to bring it to this coun-
try to be gazed upon by idle and
possibly irreverent crowds.
The removal of the wreck from
Havana is work that the gov
ernment cannot decently delay any
longer. 1t has been allowed to
remain as an obstruction to a fine
harbor too long already, and 1t
would be stretching the courtesy
and forebearance Of the Cuban Re-
public to far to further neglect so
plain a duty.--Pn.

How Old People
May Prolong
Their Lives

At advanced age the organs act
more slowly than in youth. Circu-
lation becomes poor, blood thin and
watery, appetite fitful, and diges-
ton weak. This condition leaves
the system oper to disease such as
Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-
MIA, Rheumatism, etc.
VINOL is the greatest health
creator and body builder we know
of fer old people, as it supplies
the very elements needed to re-
build wasting tissue and replace
weakness with strength.
HERE IS THE PROOF
A case b recorded In Albany, n. r., of
. woman Who felt she was breaking
down by age and was doomed to the
weak and feeble condition Of old people.
She hsd NO strength and the slightest ex-
ertion tired her, but yINOL made her
feels ten year. younger than she did b.
fore taking v1NOL.
We ask every aged person in
this neighborhood to try a bottle
Of VINOL with the understanding
that we win return their money if il
does not prove beneficial.

Negro Murderer 10 he HANGED.

Negro Murderer 10 be Hanged.
Last week Sam Medley. aged %
years, negro murderer, started on
what will probably be his last jour
ney in life He was taken from the
Gabell county jail and escorted to
the b. & o. depot, leaving at 1880
on Monday afternoon for Mounds
Vile, where he will enter the peni-
Tertiary, there to be confined in the
death cell until April 10, on which
date he will be hanged. Medley is
from Mercer county. More than a
year ago he shot and killed white
woman. the attack being wanton
and unprovoked, according to the
evidence adduced at his trial. He
shot his victim through the back Of
the head.
On trial Medley was found guilty
and sentenced TO be hung, His at
torneys secured a writ of error from
the bupTtule tOuEl. anu ptnuluB a
decision he was taken to Hunting
ton for safe keeping. After time
the supreme court ruled that he was
not entitled to new trial. There
upon he was brought back to Prince
ton and for a second time heard
his own death sentence pronounced
Then he was taken back to Hunt
ington and has been in the jail
there for more than week past.
When taken from the Cabell Jail
he was in the center of string Of

You can not feed hens that lay
colored eggs so that they will lay
white ones. If you want white eggs
get the kind of hens that lay them,
The white feathered broilers al
ways have the more attractive ap-
pearance in market, as the pin

A nest egg makes a nest more

Here is a new plan for killing

bevel the edges a little. and nail

Never breed a eve lamb until past

Breeding too young will stunt the

and cared for.
If sows are to farrow in February
or March, put them in warm, we'll
