AGAINST SALE
Of THE STATE ROAD

ATLANTA, Ca, August 3-That the
sentiment of the house of representa-
tives Overwhelmingly disapproves the
proposition to sell the Western & At,
lantic railroad, which is owned by the
state of Georgia, and is worth more
tnan all other property owned by the
state put together, was conclusively
demonstrated yesterday by the rapid
action on bill which has for its OBJ
ject the placing of the question in the
hands of the people.
introduced by Representative Estes,
of Lincoln, and thirty-five other prom
Trent members Of the house, the bill
provides for constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the sale of the road
unless a majority Of the qualified vot-
ers have authorized the sale and ap-
proved the terms of the sale submit
ted to them in detail.
The Western & Atlantic committee
Ct the house, which had previously
been placed in the embarrassing atti-
tude of favoring the sale of the road
net Immediately following the ad-
j0urnment of the house and unanim-
ously recommended the passage of
the Estes bill
The general opinion among the
members of the house is that the agi-
tation for the sale of the Western &
Atlantic railroad has its source in the
private Office of the directors of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad; and
tie members Of the house do not
propose to let the road be sold unless
the voters of the state, to whom the
road belongs, approve the terms of
sale and authorize the sale to be
made.

SOME FLOOD STORIES
STRANGE AND FREAKIsH

May strange and remarkable stor-
les are being told of the recent foods
along the Flint and Chattahoochee
rivers. Many freaky demonstrations
are reported. From cambridge comes
the story that, ], T. Saunders, a
farmer, living near Fairchilds, on the
Chattahoochees river, is now in posi-
ton to set up almost a complete stock
farm as the result of the overflow of
the river. He rescued from the river
% head of cattle and 40 OF hogs that
came floating by his place on drift
wood and tangled in tree tops. Many
that had drowned were allowed to con-
tinue their course. Many of these
were full-blooded stock and none of
them have marks or brands by which
they may be identifedw. Mr.. Saunders
telephoned to parties in town today in
an effort to locate the rightful owners.
Another man found a herd Of cattle
and hogs marooned on an island of
timbers, brush and mud, and built
gangway out to them and penned
them on his place. In this lot are
seven Hereford COWS and about 80 or
40 head of Duroc-Jersey hogs. These
lave not yet been identified. On an
island in Spring creek, which was
higher than it has ever been known
before, IA head of sheep were found
on an island.
Another story told by people living
along the Chattahoochee is to the eff
feet that a church was seen to go float
ing down the stream, carrying with it
a man, woman and two children.
Whether they were ever rescued, or
whether the building sank with them
has never been learned. Attempts at
rescue were vain at the point where it
was seen, as the river was two miles
wide there, and they were in the mid
die of the stream.

CRISP CONTINUES
EFFORT FOR BRIDGE
OVER FLINT RIVER

Cordele and Crisp county continue
to speculate on a bridge over the Flint
river at Huguenin's ferry. Part of
Crisp's hopes along these lines are in
the federal appropriation from which
Georgia has secured a share, should
the highway commission feature be
perfected.
The following editorial appeared in
the Cordele Dispatch of this week:
at is not as yet matter sufficiently
developed in the state legislature for
the people of Crisp county to know
just how much of the federal fund they
are going to have at their disposal but
it is alost certain that there will
be a handsome amount coming to this
county. Georgia got the largest ap-
portionment OF the fund coming to the
Southern states and that means that
the people in this county are going to
get considerable fund.
The highway commission is not yet
a certainty, but the present session of
the Legislature must provide such a
commission or lose the fund and that
means that the commission will be
forthcoming. There will be some
means of preserving to the state this
large federal road fund. 1t is more
than three million dollars.
"Details are to be worked out and
with the fund may come provisions
as to how it shall be spent. But Crisp
county will get its portion in some way
and when it does come, it will be such
al amount as will go long way to-
wards supplying what will be needed
to construct a bridge across Flint
river at Huguenin's ferry. The fed
eral fund may never become available
for this specific purpose, but when it
becomes a local fund for our roads,
other portions of our own money can
be used to construct the bridge and
the county commissioners ought to be
setting their stakes to that end now.

CLOUD BURSTS KILL
IN FLOOD

MIDDLESBORO, Tenn, Aug. Eff
teen to twenty persons were drowned
and much property damage caused by
a cloudburst today on Blair's creek,
near Tazewell, Tenn, details of which
reached Middlesboro early this after
neon. Nine bodies of victims have al
ready been recovered.
Tazewell officials and residents of
that community are organizing relief
parties, but the region of the cloud
brsrt is remote and isolated, commun-
ication being cut off, following the
disaster. Blair's creek has length
OF ten miles, and it is estimated that
hundreds of persons live directly in
the path of the food which is sweep
ing everything before it.
Two bridges on the main line of
the Southern railway between Middles-
boro and Knoxville were destroyed by
the rushing waters, and one house
located near the flooded creek has dis
appeared, and no trace of the family
Occupying it can be found.

Show opens 4 p. m.

sioners were busy again Tuesday of
tie present week on plans to get a
bridge over Flint river at Murray's.
Sumter is not going to help us, nor
can the commissioners of that county
be blamed for their efforts to hold for
Americas every dollar of trade along
the Flint river that they can retain.
1t will be our business to construct
tile bridge at Huguenin's and the soon
er we do it the sooner will we add
great wealth in Cordele, and thereby
make Crisp a far more wealthy county.
Americas knows the value of the trade
along the Flint river. When we begin
proper appreciation of it, the bridge
will be forthcoming.

 This stirring military drama will fit .n nicely with the list of plays already lffered hy this popular company for it is entirely different To anything yet presented and touches upon a subject of absorbing interest.
 The play is written by Earl Deer tlegers, author of the story of Seven Keys to Baldpate" and promises to outrank in popularity this great suc- cess.
 The author has taken incidents at tending the outbreak of the grea. European war for his theme and pre- sents it in a most intelligent and in teresiing manner.
 All the scenes are laid in the Eng fish fortress on the Rock Of Gibralte.' a short time after war was declared.
 It shows the great German spy sys- tenn and their great but futile effort to gain possession of this the greatest fortress in the world.
 The play shows the pitiable plight Of the travellers who were caught abroad and the arduous duties of the a D written with Knowledge and expert ence ard though it Is a military play without hattie, something unique. t Is one of the best constructed drams s of the present season.
