JOHNSON CITY TO
HAVE SHORT COURSES

The Commercial Club is in receipt
of the following letter from Mr.. Chas.
A. Kefer, professor of horticulture
and forestry, University of Tennessee:
'The College of Agriculture of the
University of Tennessee plans to hold
short course in agriculture at some
point in the northeastern section of
the state during Christmas week, De-
cember 26 to 81 inclusive, and l have
been asked to make arrangements for
such course. naturally thought of
johnson City because of its accessible
ity for the adjoining counties to the
section. AT the short courses we held
last winter there was in attendance
from 125 to 100 and we have since been
told that there was marked improve
ment in the farming in the neighbor-
hood of Franklin and Putnam coun-
ties, where the short course was held.
We want to advertise the course
throughout the neighboring counties
and hope to bring together at least 200
people, and we would want a room
that would accommodate that many
and in case of bad weather, we would
need the use of large barn for our
stock Judging work. We would want
the local people to provide a fund of
$50 to 800 to assist in the advertising
and incidental expenses. The expense
OF the professors will be paid in an
other way. l will be pleased to hear
from your at your earliest convenience
regarding the matter.
After taking this matter up with the |
Watauga Valley Farmers Club, a COM
was sent to Prof. Keffer,
to the effect that all necessary ar
to hold the short course |
here could be made, and urging that

damage there was considerable and the
weather was too thick to ascertain it
all.
y The damage to truck farmers and
rice growers IN this section is estimated
at about 100000. Many rice planters
had harvested, but those who had not,
lost their entire crops. The damage to
cotton open in the fields runs close to
100000.
The eastern section of Savannah,

Beaufort, n. G., Oct. 19.-The worst

high tides have prevailed here, no dam

Weather conditions had become bet
ter by s O'Clock this morning and led
to the belief that the storm would not
increase in intensity in this vicinity.
AT that time the wind was southeast
and was blowing at the rate of about
thirty miles an hour.

STORM TIDE
IN OVER SIXTEEN YEARS
South Atlantic Coast Towns Are
Fearful as to Prospects of Safe

st. Augustine Oct. 18.-The entire
business section of st. Augustine is
flooded with in-rushing sea water to-
day, while the wind and waves are
still rising with no indication of when
their limit will be reached. The water
is pouring over the sea wall from the
highest storm tide in sixteen years. 1t
is feared that tohight's tide will be
still worse and that it will sweep high
over the city.
So far there has been no loss of life
and the property damage is confined
mainly to the unroofingof few houses,
the tearing down of a few poFches and
the uprooting of trees, all due to the
wind.
All last night rockets were fired in the
city TO warn the residents of outlying
sections of their peril. The roar of the
seas pounding on the sea wall could be
heard at times above the storms howl
ing.
This morning found street car traffic
tied up, some of the cars standing deep
in the water. The prospects were that
no trains would be able to arrive or
leave the city during the day. Tele-
phone lines began going down in the
wind-blown wreckage today, adding q
new difficulty to the already restricted
means of communication. All physi-
cal communication with the wireless
station on Ananastia island was cut
of by the raging sea.
By 8 o'clock this morning the wind
was blowing sixty miles an hour. The
last reports before wires went down
south of here along the Florida Easr
Coast were that the wind velocity on
the exposed keys was terrific.
Scores of persons were driven from
their homes today by the rising tide
Several hotels on the water front were
flooded in their lower floors. The tide
receded slightly about noon but is due
to rise again tonight. Two launches
were sunk in the bay but nc lives were
lost. The electric power plant was
forced to shut down.

POLICEMEN BATTLE
WITH ANNA BEL LIE,

Last night at 1870 o'clock officers
Wilson and Netherly arrested Anna
Belle Lee Chriswell at the corner of
Fountain square and Market street,
charged with being drunk and lewd-
ness. Her cries aroused many citizens
from their peaceful slumbers and it
was not long until Fountain square
was holding Roosevelt crowd, for as
many people saw last nights perform
arce as heard Roosevelt here.
1t became necessary to call third
party to carry Anna Belle Lee, mas
much as she refused to walk, and the
battle was on. After fierce struggle,
in which the woman came near being
the victor, Southern Express baggage
truck was brought into use and the
poem-famed Gamma Belle Lee" was
given ride to the city calaboose. She
will appear before Recorder Ellsworth

A step along this line was taken
last night by the official commits
sion that is drafting new city
charter, when by a vote of II to 3
it agreed to daopt the preferential
system of voting for the new city
charter. The preferential system
will enable the mass of the voters
to pick better men at the polls by
giving each voter the opportunity
to express first, second and third
choice for men whom he deems
best fitted to run the city govern
ment. 1t makes the formation of
machine states more difficult, does
away with the expense of a pri-
mary, and gives the people direct
action on the men they favor for
the various places.
At the same time the charter
commission agreed to the creation
of a civil service board, which will
supervise the filling of the places
at the city hall on a competitive
basis.
Among the provisions covered
by the preferential system OF vot-
ing are the following:
Sections 1, 2 and General pro-
visions for general and special
elections; candidates to file by Pc
titiOn.
Sections 4 and 5-Form of petit
ton to be furnished by city clerk,
rs signatures being required.
Section 6-Each Signer to file In
dividual certificate under oath.
Section TO be filed not more
than 40 nor fewer than 20 days be-
fore election.
Sections s and 9-Provisions for
amending petitions and filing with
city clerk.
Section 10-Candidates to file &C.
ceptance in IA days.
Sections II, IL and 13-Form of
