FREE RANGE DEFEATED
Opponents Carry Georgetown Elec

Georgetown, Sept. 10.-Citizens OF
this county who have been waging a
long fight against free range fol-
stock we're much gratified today
when it became certain that they had
carried yesterdays's informal election
on the issue, though by a small ma
jcrity. The majority against free
lange will be about thirty-five.
The result of the election will
stand as a recommendation, a man
cate, it IS hoped, to the county's DEL
egation in the State legislature.
About two years ago an election held
to obtain an expression of the popu-
lar will on the same issue was car
RED for free range; this time its op-
ponents made an active and deter
mined campaign, with the defeat OF
free range as the outcome.

DAMAGE BY HURRICANE
Property Loss Key West Estimated
Two Millions Dollars

Key West, Sept. 10.-Not a house
in the city escaped injury in the
hurricane that swept over Key West
last night. Three hundred and twen-
ty houses, most of them frame build
ings, were practically razed. Two
church edifces were wrecked.
In the main part of the city five
retail store buildings were tipped
over as though part of a card pack.
Plate glass windows in many store
buildings were blown in by the force
of the wind and stocks of goods ru-
ined by water. So far as is known
there was no loss of life in the city
proper, nor is there any report Of
persons seriously injured despite the
flying debris, but the steamer Gram
pus, with the crew Of fourteen men,
sank in the harbbr.
The federal building was badly
damaged by the storm.
Conservative estimates place the
property loss at not less than two
million dollars.

A FINE TRIP OFFERED
By ID. ]. Epps to Prospective PuF-
chasers of Buick Autos

Mr.. D. j. Epps, local agent for
Buick Automobiles has just received
a letter from the manufactures OF
this popular car at Flint, Michigan,
which, in view of the unsatisfactory
conditions existing in freight trans
portation and the unavailability OF
freight cars in which to ship cars.
suggesting that parties of prospective
BUYERS be made up and go by rail to
Flint. get their cars and drive them
home.
We quote here from the letter
above referred to:
Freight cars are not available.
and only in a few cases we are abe
to obtain fiat cars. GondolaS are not
allowed to come south of the coal
fields. Box cars are being used for
the grain in the west.
1--WE will ship you as much OF your
allotment as we can. When drive
aways start we shall endeavor to get
enough cars to put ahead On your
allotment in order that you may or
ganize driving crews of fair size
and bring through more cars than
would be due you in any one
month"
Mr.. Epps, has a number OF appli-
cants booked for Buick cars, and IN
view of the transportation conditions
mentioned he proposed to pay rail-
road fare to Flint, Mich, and return
expenses to any who wish to take
advantage of this opportunity OF
making a delightful trip to Michigan
after their car. This expense would
really amount to more than tne
freight on a car, but it will give
prospective buyers a chance to Sc
cure their car much quicker than oy
waiting for it to reach here oy
freight besides the pleasure OF a
trip to Flint.
