Be Over 350-Steamer Safe.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct t. - Last
night s reports from the sections OF
Louisiana and the Mississippi gulf
coast swept by Wednesday night :
storm brought the number of know
dead to 202 and the missing to 80. Els
Inmates of the property damage stood
at approximately 100000 Will
the exception of few isolated points
reports have been received from the en-.
tire district, and general Indications
were that the total death toll would
not exceed $50 The exact number OF
fatalities cannot be determined until
the waters recede. A large section of
the area now under water was unin-
habited marsh land, and it is believed
most of the people living on plantations
along the river needed the widely dis
tributed warnings of the weather bu-
reau and reached places of refuge be
fore the storm.

The Neighbors Say

If he is regular in attending church,
he is too pious.
If he doesn t attend church, he is ON
the road to perditiCn.
If he sends his family away for the
summer, it is more than he can afford
If he doesn t allow them a vacation
he is called stingy.
If he happens to be successful in
business, he achieved success unfairly.
If he dcesn t succeed, he missed his
calling.
If the piano is silent, why don t they
buy player?
If they have a player piano, it an.
novs the whole neighborhood.
If he gives freely to charity, it is
done for show.
If he doesn t, he is classed as n
tightwad.
If his wife does her own work, she
is ''killing herself" for the family.
If she has servants, she ought to be
more economical.
If he dies young, he led too fast q
life.
If he lives to a ripe old age, he is
living beyond his time.-Clinton Church

Farmers of Maury county who have

last two years would be perfectly will.

There is hay to cut and the wheat is

poets exception the absence of stands
could hardly be better. Most of the
corn has been well worked, in fact
the ground was put in apple pie con.

the ground. Farmers are enthusiastic
over the prospects of this crop and
the conviction is growing that with
no untoward accident to wheat and

HOLDS FINAL DECISION ON
AMERICAN DEMANDS.
ARGUES The LUsTANIA CASE
Declared That English Boat Was an
: Auxiliary Cruiser, and Asserted
That Destruction Of Ammunition
Was An Act of SeIfdefense.

BERLIN, May 31.-Germany with
holds its final decision on the de-
mands advanced by the United States
government in connection with the
sinking of the Lusitania, until the re-
ceipt Of an answer from the United
States. to the note which Herr Won
Jagow. the foreign minister has deliv-
cred to Ambassador Gerard, in reply
to the American note received by the
German government on May Is.
In It's reply the German government
declares that 1t is not its intention to
submit neutral ships in the war zone,
which are guilty Of no hostile acts, to
attacks by submarines or aeroplanes,
that 1t is investigating the circum-
stances in connection with the attacks
on the American steamers Cushing
and Gulflight, and in all cases where
neutral vessels, through no fault of
their own have been damaged, Ger.
many will pay indemnification. 7,
The reply urges that in the caske of
the Lusitania, which Germany alleg-
es was armed and carried large stores
of war munitions, 1t was "acting in
justified selfdefense in seeking with
all the means of warfare at its dis
position to protect the lives of its sol
diers by destroying ammunition in
tended for the enemy" 800 y
The German government recalls the
proposals submitted by the United
States government to Berlin and Lon
don, designed to end the submarine
warfare and the shutting out of food
supplies from Germany which, it de.
clares failed of their purpose because
of the refusal Of the British govern.
ment to agree to them. .

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Germa.
ny's reply to the American note con.
corning the sinking of the Lusitania
with loss of more than 100 Amei.
can lives produced feeling of pro-
found Disappointment here. Dissatis.
faction at the failure of Germany to
answer the demands of the United
States was reflected in government
circles generally.
President Wilson had retired early
before the text arrived, but from a
reading OF the summary published to.
day and Ambassador Gerards fore
casts, he had an accurate impression
of what it contained.
Secretary Bryan would make no
comment. Other cabinet officers were
reticent, but there was little conceal.
ment anywhere that the answer from
Berlin had produced grave situation
in the relations between the United
States and Germany. Just what
course of action the United States
will pursue is undetermined.
