 Our auditorium is large enough to seat all the people who should at tend if it had seats all the way to the back. On chapel mornings the little boys have to go down to the front and sit on the steps. Of course this is uncomfortable. We could easily get the chairs.

 hogs, dead chickens filtered the ground Those who were in the midst of the storm said that they saw great black cloud approaching from the southwest and then all was darkness as the cloud seemed to cover the earth. Possibly it was only minutes when the crashing uproar had subsid- ed and all was silence save the cries and means of the injured. The storm approached from the river bottom. The Summerhill plantation just over Red River in Texas, was struck and three reported dead there. It seemed to reach it's greatst intensity on the brow of the hill just out of the bottom Small bushes and shrubs in the open spaces were stripped of their bark and it seemed as no living thing could have lived there The negro quarters just beyond met the full force. AS 1t passed over the railroad the destruc- ton was less severe. The main path was only few hundred yards wide. Many housed in the white section of Ogden were intact.
 Storm Freaks.
 Numerous freaks were noted and reported. At one place car was run from it's garage and tho engine started. A buggy was noted With the spoke torn out of one wheel and the top and body intact. At one house a chimney had been picked up and thrown through the roof into wrecked room. A room adjoining was little injured. The Ed Davis porch was found in the middle of a field mile away practl- cally intact The house with others was in splinters in some drift Barb ed wire fences with their posts were swept away as if by a mountain tor rent. In the tops of trees still stand ing could be seen shreds of clothing and bedding. The most remarkable thing of all was that people went through this inferno and lived where not shrub nor branch of tree that did not bear the mark and scars of flying debris with so much as an inch between scars. It is reported at one place that a tire was blown from wagon wheel, and the wheel and tire are there to show for themselves. A tree fell across young mule colt and after being chopped out, 1t was found that it was not injured. At one place the porch was left, and hen remained on her nest during all the wind. and no doubt w:il yet hatch the eggs.
 Relief Work Going On.
 All the Ashdown physicians rushed to the scene Wednesday to assist In the care of the injured, and all is be- ing done that can, be. Relief sub- scriptions were started in Ashdown, one by Rev. s. K. Burnett, one by w. D. Waldrop and one by Ben Hunter. MT. Waldrop delivered a little nor than $500 in cash Thursday to the local relief committ.. Sc Ogden, which is composed of Roy Budd, E. A. Velvin and w. S. Crouch. The other com mittees will report collections when work is completed.
 The local relief committee request that all who have second hand furni- ture cr household utensils to report what they have to the News office that they may be listec. The wagons will call for them. It is intended to set up these colored people to house. keeping again as all they have is gone. You will know what you have that can be used. "a

PROGRAM ON FRIDAY
WANT SOME LIGHTS PREPARED
FoR. NEXT EVENING PROGRAM.

Members of the local band are
planning to render another public con-
cert next Friday evening at some point
up town. The need of lights has caus
ed some inconvenience and the band
would greatly appreciate it if some
good person would arrange some light
ing for the public library lawn or at
the flag pole The band members be-
lieve the concert is worth the lights
and want somebody to put in the
lights.
Another thin gthe band wants is an
occasional word of appreciation for
their efforts. They are not asking for
plaudits or praise. but the work has
been advanced to such a stage as that
the public might know an evening
with the band is worth coming out
to hear The band wants some lights
and a good crowd. Remember the
night. Go home and go to sleep if you
don't care anything about good music.

WATER SUPPLIES AT
SUMMER RESORTS.

The return of summer brings the
vacation period to most workers and
eyes are turned toward the country
and the seashore and mountain re.
sorts, where the pleasure of outdoor
life may be fully enjoyed. 1t is nat.
ural and is most desirable for every.
one, who can, to take advantage of va.
cation period for rest and for outdoor
recreation whenever that is possible.
Where records of disease and death
are carefully kept it is shown that,
unfortunately, rates of sickness from
typhoid and other diseases which may
be carried by water. often increase
decidedly in the late summer and
early fall because persons have been
infected at summer resorts and have
taken sick shortly after returning
home.
Such sickness is very often due to
poor sanitary arrangements at sum-
mer hotels and boarding houses, to
careless handling of food products
or to the prevalence of malaria-carry.
ing mosquitoes.
The water supply of a summer re.
sort of any kind should receive the
most careful attention because it
may infect many persons during a
season, becoming in way a public
supply.
A spring of good quality at it's
source may easily be contaminated by
surface closets, sewage drains or
barn-yards. For this reason every
spring ought to be protected by drain
age bitches. Again, polluted back
water or overflows from creeks may
pollute a spring or we'll on low
ground.
Ordinary dug wells are generally
poorly protected at the surface as
the tops are not made water-tight ami
surface water flows in at, or Slightly
below, the ground level. 1t often hap
mems. too. that water spilled on the
dirty wooden platform goes directly
back into the well.
Cess-pools, surface closets and sew
age disposal plants of any kind should
NOT be located nearer than 10000
feet from the source of drinking wa
ter.
Before selecting place for your
summer outing find out, if possible,
whether the sanitary conditions are
good and whether real, effective eff
forts are being made to protect the
CHESTS from flies and mosquitoes.
These insects are not merely pests,
hut quite dangerous to health. By
little care and foresight you may save
Yourself a severe attack of sickness
and a most unpleasant ending of your
vacation.

Will Be Built as Soon as Possible to Meet Pressing
## Demand for More Room.

Naldosts, Ga. August 20.-A new
$4,000 dormitory which will house
nearly 200 additional girl students, will
be built by the South Georgia State
Normal College at Valdosta, as soon
as plans can be made and the con.
tract let
This new dormitory which is needed
today to meet the. demand of South
Georgia girls for admission to the in
stitution. comes as the result of an ap.
preparation made by the state legisla-
ture. in its recent session.
But ii will take a whole year to
build it and get ready for the new
students; and, in the meantime, these
coo South Georgia girls must wait.
There isn't an inch of room for them
now. and President R. Fl, Powell is
regretfully turning down new applica-
tions every day.
SO eager is the South Georgia girl
for an economic education in what she
regards as her own institution, that
undoubtedly by the time the new dor
mitory is built they will not only
fill it, but there will be another over
flow like that OF today
The new building given by the leg

the dement's the institution has been
giving to the section which it splen-
didly serves; and it will enable it to
extend these advantages over wider
area in response to an ever-growing
demand. The work it has done as
a state institution. has developed an

The South Georgia members, devoted
in their efforts, have won for is the
strong friendship of the members from
North Georgia: so that there was prac-
tically no opposition to its request
at the recent session.
The Spanish Mission style of archi
lecture was adopted by the South
Georgia State Normal College at the
beginning of its career some seven
years ago: and this style will be fol
lowed in every new building which it
ereets. The plan of the institution
for all future time was made at the
very beginning. This style, both beau
tiful and simple, is we'll illustrated
in the reproduction above of the adj
ministration building.
The Valdosta College now takes care
of approximately 200 girl students
from all parts of South Georgia, and
the new dormitory will practically dou-
BILE its capacity.
For the present, however. it is
sQuarely up against stone wall, be-
cause the present dormitory is already
crowded. and every bit of available
boarding house space in Valdosta has
been taken.
South Georgia girls. in practically
every county in the sectionl will watch
with keen interest, for the completion
of the new dormitory, which will open
to them the door of promise and CT
hope.

DIR. BOWLING URGES VACCINATION AS A
 SAFE PRECAUTION

In view of the fact that several iso- lated cases of smallpox have been re- ported to the health department within the past few days. Dr. J. D. Bowling, county health officer, issued a statement to the public last night urging every per son who has not been vaccinated against the disease to attend to the matter at once. "We are not anticipating an epidemic of smallpox" said pr. Bowling. nor do we intend the warning as a scare, but it is advisable that all persons be vaccinated. There are many newcom- CTS in the city who hail from towns or cities that do not enforce a compulsory vaccination law and the cases reported may be due to that fact. At any rate, it is better to be on the safe side.'

 KILLED AT CROSSING

J. IT. Huffman, white man of about 70 years of age. who has for the past several years been employed as flag man on the Alabama Great Southern railroad, was instantly killed when run over by a switch engine driven by Engineer Ed Ellis at the railroad crossing at Twenty-fourth street about 12 o'clock last night.
