 Wire communication had not been re-
 stored to Pensacola early tonight, and
 no word had been received as to dam
 age done in that city by the storm.
 That the wireless plant in Pensacola
 was not demolished was evident when
 the naval radio station here got re-
 sponse to their calls
 Reports from Biloxi tonight stated con-
 siderable anxiety was being evinced
 there for the safety of crews of four
 schooners and one power boat which
 were out in the Louisiana marshes at
 the time of the hurricane. Several hun
 dred small schooners. shrimpers and
 oyster luggers sail out of Biloxi regu-

 Some officers here expressed fears that they might be assigned when displaced by consolidation, to the depot brigade of division and be left at home but Governor Gardner was assured that the depot brigade in every case would &C., company to the front the divisions to which it was attached. It will be base from which officers and men to replace casualties are drawn.
 The chief objection of the military authorities to filling up existing guard regiments with national army men from the same state, thus preserving every guard organization. lies in the fact that the regiment would be composed of two thirds wholly untrained .men. Should the guard regiments be filled with national army men, their departure for France would be delayed many months, while the green men are trained and the war department wishes to expedite the prep aration of guard divisions for active ser vice.

C., September 2s.-Heavy and continuous rains at Goldsboro today have again caused the southeastern sec ton of that town to be flooded, accord ing to reports here tonight, which added that late today large part of the popu- lation in the flooded area was forced to vacate their homes.

ACCOuNT oF SPEECH

Petrograd, September @.-(Delayedo Premier Kernesky took the initiative to- day and faced coldly what may be the supreme test of the power of his govern ment. At the very beginning of the dem ocratic congress, called by the maximal- ists and the council of workmen's and soldiers delegates, to question his power, and perhaps to demand a new govern ment, the premier accepted the challenge.
 He told the congress that his regime had saved Russia in its darkest hours.
 The government also indicated Its poll icy of firm continuation of the war, when General verkhovsky, minister of war, pledged the convention to final victory over Germany if discipline in the army was restored. The generals reference to the return of discipline and his announcement that the officers would be named by their superiors, in- stead of elected by the soldiers, was applauded only mildly
 KORNILOFF REVOLT
 M. Kernesky in a speech referred to the revolt of General Korniloff and de- clared:
 'I prevented it. I destroyed it. | was informed from the beginning
 When the premier declared that the good of Russia necessitated the observ- ance of order and discipline, one of the most dramatic heckling incidents which punctuated the address occurred.t w He had reached a pause in his address when a loud voice in the gallery shouted
 SPEAKER INTERRUPTED
 You are the great mischief worker of the country"
 From bedlam of misses and applause voices on the floor challenged the heckler to arise in the gallery.
 A common soldier in the back gallery arose and with arms folded across his brown blouse stood calmly facing tor rent of misses from the supporters or Premier Kerensky
 There was an air of tense excitement as result of rumors that the agitator, Lenine, was in Petrograd. and would at tend the convention. This died down, however, when he failed to appear. l The applause which greeted Premier Kerensky indicated that he had a small minority with him. The socialists sup | porting him contend that he has a ma I jority of the convention. The government ministers had a meeting late tonight to discuss the effect of his appearance, but none of the ministers would talk. A crisis probably will come Saturday, when the l work of preliminary organization has been completed, and the radical left pre- sents it's extremist programme.

kERENSKY BELIEVES RUSSIAN NATION IS BACKING HIS POLICY
Delayed Report From Petro- grad Tells of Premier's Firm Stand Before
 Democratic Congress

Petrograd. Friday, September %-(De- layed.)-The attitude of Premier ker- ensky and the other members of the pro- visional government today is that the premiers bold address and his dramatic reception by the democratic congress is evidence that the nation is with him, but there has been no relaxing of the Ker- ensky forces efforts to combat the Bol- sheviki left and the uncertain center fac tion, led by M. Tchernoff, spokesman for the workmen and soldiers. M. Souskis, premier Kerensky's secretary in state ment to the Associated Press, declared:
 "The nation is with Kernesky. The opening convention proved that or course, the Bolshevik minority Is only small part of the people of Russia. The center, led by M. Tchernoff professes to be for the premier, but against any coali- tion of the ministry, including constitu- tional democrats. That is impractical and impossible. The government stands firmly a pa inc rip

GEORGE HOLLOWAY FIRES ON
BROTHER SHED AFTER BE-
ING SEVERELY CUT.

Following an entertainment on
the Walter Gurr place Saturday
night at which Hayner was the re-
freshment and Shed Holloway the
host, came trouble on account of the
liquor supply not being unlimited.
According to Nose Coleman, a
member of the party, and an eye
witness to the tragedy, another guest
George Holloway, a brother of
Sheds wanted more liquor than the
host wanted to give, and even offered
quarter for another drink. Shed
took the money but offered no liq-

for the liquor or his money back, he
replied that George has given him
no money.
After several useless attempts for
his quarter George left the house,

Since YEAR 1899
THERMOMETER DROPPED in
DAWSON TO EIGHT ABOVE
ZERo-GARDENS SUFFER.

The blizzard that swept Georgia
and the country Thursday night and
Friday brought Dawson its coolest
weather since 1899, when the ther-
mometer went to eight degrees be-
low, which is 16 degrees lower than
the lowest Friday night, eight de-
grees above.
Many farmers report their oats
and other forage crops to be injured,
especially where planted with a drill,
while gardens were all practically
killed
Dawson peach growers say that the
warm weather in January rushed
their fruit to such an extent that
this spell will damage the crop con-
siderably.
Many bugs and insects, including
the boil weevil, felt the effects Of
the extreme cold.
