FARM LOAN BOARD ITINERARY
Includes Only Western States For the
Present-To Visit the South
At Later Date.

Washington--It is stated at the Of
fees ~ the Federal farm loan board
that when the itinerary Of the board
is announced it will include only the
Western states for the present, the
South to be reached by the board
probably the latter part OF September
The itinerary begins August Fl at
Portland, Ore, and after that the cap
ital of each state will be visited The
hearings in the South will be at Nash
vile, for Tennessee; at Little Rock
for Arkansas; at Montgomery, for Ala
ALBANIA, and Atlanta, for Georgia.
II is not likely that any Federal re-
serve bank city w!ll be selected as
bank city for the Federal farm loan
bank because the treasury department
does not want to confuse the work o.
the Federal reserve and the Fedora
farm loan boards.

URGING REGISTRATION.
State Registrar of Vital Statistics Vie
its Washington.


Washington, D CDR. H. H. Shout
ders, state registrar of vital statistics
for Tennessee, and Senator Shields
met S. L. Rogers, director of the cen.
sus. by appointment last week, and
presented arguments and facts which
they believe entitle Tennessee to ad-
mission of registration area Of the
United States.
In order to do this 80 per cent Of the
births and deaths of the state must
be filed with the secretary Of the state
board OF health at Nashville.
The department bases its estimates
Of Tennessee on reports secured from
postmasters and rural carriers, while
DR., Shoulders stands by the reports Of
the health officers OF the counties and
their local registrars, which he claims
are more nearly accurate.
The physicians of Tennessee are
very anxious for this recognition on
the part OF the Federal government
and Senator Shields is hopeful Of sue
cess, owing to the strong presentation
of facts by DR.. Shoulders.

LAKE WAS ARTIFICIAL ONE
Toxaway Dam Gives Way, Sending
Waters Over Unlnhablted South
Carolina Country.

AsheYille, ~ C-The Lake Toxa.
way dam, weakened by the recent
floods, broke Sunday night, sending a
great wall of water down the valley
toward Western South Carolina.
Warnings sent cut from several cities
are believed to have enabled most per-
sons in the path of the flood to reach
safety.
The lake, an artificial body OF wa
ter, was created in 1902 by eastern
capitalists. II covers $50 acres to an
average depth OF 30 feet. The dam,
an eighth OF mile long and 80 feet
high, was completely destroyed. The
town OF Lake Toxaway suffered only
minor damage, though the lake was
completely drained.
The released waters rushed through
the Toxaway River valley, a compare
lively uninhabited section, towards the
Chuga river in South Carolina. An
derson, Wallhalla, Pickens and Sen.
eca counties comprised the territory
immediately threatened and warn
ings were telephoned to all places that
could be reached
Toxaway is the third and largest Of
the lakes in the Western North Caro-
lima mountains to go out since July /,
when heavy rains caused serious
floods in that section.

1877 WAR VESSELS
IN THREE YEARS
NATIONAL DEFENSE PROGRAMME
VIRTUALLY COMPLETE, AP-
PROVING INCREASE.
SECOND LARGEST IN WORLD
House Accepts Building Plan-Seere.
tary Daniels Declares Measure so
Nearly Complete and Perfect
It viii Stand as a Model.

Washington = Congress virtually
completed the national defense pro.
gram by finally approving the great
increases in naval construction and
personnel written into the naval bill
and urgently supported by the admin.
istration.
The house accepted the building pro.
gram, to which its conferees on the
measure had refused to agree, by a
vote of 2S3 to 81, with seven of the
members present not voting. The per-
sonnet increases, on which there also
was disagreement in conference,
were approved without a record vote.
The personnel and construction sec
tions, which already have the approval
Of the senate, authorize an increase In
enlisted men to 74,700 and the build
ing of 1877 war vessels within the next
three years, with four battle cruisers
and four battleships included among
the ships for 1917 Previously the
house had refused to adopt a conthu-
ing building program, had authorized
only five capital ships, all Of them bat
lie cruisers, and had provided for q
personnel of only $4,000.
On several less important questions,
including appropriation for improve
mentof navy yards, the house insisted
on its disagreement to senate in
creases and voted to send the bill
back to conference for settlement of
these points. An early agreement is
expected, however, and the measure
may be sent to the president for his
signature within a week.
Secretary Daniels issued a state
ment pointing out that the building au.
thorizations In the bills were the great,
est ever passed in any country and
would give the United States, in the
opinion of naval authorities, the sec
ond largest navy in the world. He
declared the measure $50 complete
and nearly perfect that it will stand
as a model for all navy bills for future
legislators"

president of the Dixie Highway AS
ISOLATION, has called meeting of the
board OF directors Of the association
to be held in Detroit, Aug. rs.
The Detroit meeting of the board

western divisions OF the Dixie high
way from Michigan to Florida.
The most notable achievement is
the closing up Of all the gaps on the
eastern division between Detroit and
Chattanooga, of which the recent let

COUNTY ENGINEER REMOVED
First Application Of the Custer Act
In Madison Is Against E. G.
Buck.

Jackson.-E. G. Buck, county engi.
neer, was ousted by a decree of Chan.
cellor ]. w. Ross in suit brought
against Buck by a number of citizens.
The chancellor held that the custer
act of 1915 does apply to officials EN-.
ployed by the county court and that
Buck had been guilty Of nonfeasance,
misfeasance and malfeasance.
The two main charges against Buck
were that he made contracts with
road commissioners and magistrates,
and that he sold material belonging to
the county. 1t is likely that an APP
peal will be taken to the supreme
court.
The removal Of County Engineer
Buck is the first application OF the
custer act in Madison county.

Asheville.-No lives were lost, as

to crops and homes. No houses were
washed away.
After the waters left the passes

WILL STAY IN CAMP.
Movement Of Troops Is Temporarily
Suspended.


Observation-Disclosures for the re-
naming modified units of the nation
al guard to proceed to the border have
been suspended by the war depart
ment. No official explanation has
been made. but 1t is known that the
delicacy of the railroad strike situa-
ton has been the moving considera-
tion.
The suspension OF the orders pre-
vents the immediate movement Of the
troops from Kentucky, Ohio and Yer
mont, and the movement of all other
modified units which were to have
gone forward as soon as they were
equipped. Some of the Kentucky,
Ohio and Vermont troops we're about
ready to go TO the border.
II Is clear that the suspension is not
revocation Of the orders, and that
if the railroad strike situation clears
up the troops will be moved to the
border line
