Tan giers Sound,
Aug. 20, 1916.

Dear Folks:
We laid up at Hampton Roads
for two days, coming up here
to Tangiers Sound this morn
ing. They took us ashore yes
terday at Fortress Monroe and
drilled us. That is we had a re-
view there-just the $500 civil
ians were in it. Quite an anus
ing sight to see the rockies try
ing to act like real marines. Of
course, it was a pretty sight to
see the men all in white except
for black reckties and belts and
brown leggins. 1t was the first
real walking we have had for
some time, so we are all little
sore today from the exertion,
but we all enjoyed it just the
same-lands looks good to us
under all circumstances. We are
somewhat disguised at times
over the slack and non-system-
like manner in which things
are handled here on board this
ship. We were caught in Sc
we're rainstorm On our return to
the ship and ali of us got soaked.
Well, instead of planning things
ahead and making us as COM
Portable as possible under the
circumstances, they kept us wait
ing in line on the deck for about
Is minutes before we received
the order to disband. 1t seems
all orders must go through the
executive officers hands and ]
suppose if he is asleep everyone
and everything must stop until
he wakes up. 1t seems the jun
ior officers haven't a thing &c
say. The wind was real strong
and because of our wet clothes
we were very cold, having come
about three miles in a boat from
shore, so we were all pretty
much disguised with such ar.
engagements on the ship. Also
they told US not to fill our can
teens on the ship. We drilled
for over two hours and were al
quite thirsty, but we had NJ
time to get water ashore, so we
returned to ship with the can
teens as empty as when we start
ed out. | am having a splendid
time and wouldn't have missed
this trip for the world, but many
things could have been done tt
improve our conditions and make
life more pleasant for us.

SOUTHERN STATES ARE
 RUINED BY HEAVY FLOODS

ATLANTA, Co.,, July 1.-The condition of the lowlandG through out the entire south is very serious Rainfall has been heavy and con- tinuous for more than ninc days; all rivers and streams are now over- flowing; small brooks are raging rivers and easily navigable where they are not torrents; farms are under water and crops in many places a total loss. Every valley is a heavy sufferer.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July H. The weather continues terrible. Rain day and night and fearful rain at that, falling in torrents that de- fly description, have subjected all the lowands to inundations. Cotton crops are ruined, cane fares little better and in many places stock have been swept away. The loss will be many millions and the en- tire cotton crop is, in many lower levels, total loss.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-07-12

ATLANTA, July 1.-The loss as a result of the torrential and continuous rainfall in the south is not confined to property. In this state eight are dead. known to have been drowned, their bodies having been recovered, and seventy-eight are missing and it is almost certain that they are dead.

FIND VOLCANO IN MINDANAO
Recent Eruption Was Apparent, Lieu
tenant DonneIly Says of the
Discovery.

MindanaO has new-volcano, accord
ing to the Mindanao Herald. Lieuten-
ant Donnelly, while on a hike into the
interior of Lanao province, discovered
an active volcano In the Piagayungan
range of mountains, which heretofore
was not known to exist. Lieutenant
Donnelly says Of his discovery in the
following report:
"June 5, 1916, the undersigned, in
command of combined detachment
Of the First Cotabato company, and
the First General Service company, on
reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad
northwest through the Plagayungan
mountain range, came in sight of an
active volcano which from all indica-
lions had recently erupted discharge
Of volcanic ash and either smoke or
flame.
From the fact that foliage in the
forest on the mountain sides three
miles to the southeast had been
scorched as though by flame, hot
smoke or toxic gas, and that ground
vegetation of scrub grass and weeds
had been partially destroyed, leaving
the stalks intact and the scorched
leaves retaining their form, 1t was
thought that the eruption had been
recent. At all events, so recent that
the wind had not blown away nor de-
stroyed the fragile remnants Of the
burned foliage"

WEALTHYFARME KILLSS SELF
Cuts Throat With Razor, Dying Al.
most Instantly--Had Large Acre
Gge OF River Land.

. Johnson, City, Tenn.--Will G. Long,
one Of the most prominent and pro
gressive farmers In East Tennessee,
owning handsome river-bottom farm
in the Austin Springs section, took his
life Sunday morning in the wood shed
at his home. He arose early, as was
his custom. Appearing morose while
Mrs. Long was preparing breakfast,
she asked If he was not going to Sun
day School. He replied that he did not
know. He then went to the wood shed
and with his razor cut his throat from
ear to ear. He fell face downwards,
death being almost instantaneous.
The body was soon discovered and
friends notified.
Mr.. Long was in well-to-do circum.
stances, but has met with reverses
during the last few years. Last year
the crops on his fine farm were prac.
tically failure, while this year the
surging river took away a most valu-
able crop. These things weighed
heavily on his mind. He was an en-
thusiastic good road man, and made a
strong but losing fight for the county
bridge, connecting Washington and
Sullivan counties. This was located
on another fork of the road, and con.
tributed to his fancied trouble.

Slayer of Cousin Convicted.

Jackson, Tenn.-Walter Brown, who
is charged with killing his cousin,
Newsum Brown, in August, 1914, en-
tered plea of guilty in the criminal
court Of Chester countye and was
sentenced by Judge J. w. Ross, sit
ting for Judge N. R. Barham, to life
term in the penitentiary.
Browns counsel had fought out the
question of his present sanity, and
upon the jurys returning verdict to
the effect that he was sane, Brown,
deciding not to fight the case any
longer, entered plea Of guilty. 1t is
alleged that Brown entered the field
where his cousin was at work and
shot him down without provocation or
without giving him chance. Brown
remained in hiding for two years and
was recently caught by the officers.

Japan Chronicle, report Of investiga-

the amount for the preceding SIX
months and $10,966,4S8 over that of
the corresponding period last year.
The highest rate Of increase was seen
in the exports to India, followed by
the exports to Siberia, while the ex-
ports to the Philippines decreased by
about one-half, as compared with the
preceding half year.
