70 BODIES RECOVERED
(By Associated Press)

Sinton, Texas, September 10
Seventy bodies of flood victims,
mutilated beyond recognition,
have been recovered here, which
is relief headquarters for the
entire surrounding bay shore
territory, which was swept by
the tropical storm Sunday.
Forty were found at West
Point, p at White Point, five
below Odem and few at Port
land. No one was killed at Sim
ton but the property damage
was heavy.
Victims found along the bay
shore are believed to be largely
from Corpus Christi, their bodies
being whirled away from the city
by receding waters of the tidal
wave. Reports from Odem, Tex
as, were that the situation in Cor
pus Christi we're increasingly
serious" 1t will probably be i'm
possible to count the dead there
until the wreckage of the glutted
streets is cleared away, as it is
recognized that many victims are
buried beneath the debris.

DROUTH HURTS TOBACCO
NORTH OF THE RIVER

Although most of the Madison
county crop of tobacco is about
up to par, and crop conditions
south of the river, were good al
time of cutting, north of the
river, there is big shortage re-
ported in several of the ,heaviest
tobacco producing counties of the
state. County Clerk w. r. Curle
of Cynthiana, who was here Sun
day, told the Daily Register that
Harrison county's tobacco crop
is almost failure. He said that
drouth had almost ruined every
crop in Harrison as well as to-
bacco, and the farmers there are
almost desperate over their con-
dition. Harrison, by the way,
is one of the largest tobacco pro-
ducing counties in the hurley
belt. There are seven or eight
warehouses at Cynthiana, and
over 100000 pounds were sold
over their breaks the past sea-
son. Those who are conversant
with the situation in that section,
are rather uneasy over prospects.
Lexington tobacco experts say
that the crop will be Is percent
short this season but that this
shortage will be made up by the
increase in acreage planted. The
Lexington market will open
around December l.
Morgan Gentry, prominent in
the Lexington warehouse busi-
ness, said that while there would
be short crop in pounds per
acre it would be made up by the
large increase in acreage in the
hurley belt. "Some of the crop
will not amount to 800 pounds
to the acre." said Mr.. Gentry,
"and there will be some so poor
that it will not be cut, but |
think the demand for colory
grades will be good and the
prices high.
"I would judge" he continued,
that about 40 percent of the crop
in the hurley belt has been cut.
That would leave go per cent of
the tobacco in Lexington's mar
ket range to be cut within the
next two or three weeks, much
of it the coming week.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

At meeting held by the members
of the First Christian Church in Rich
mond, Kentucky on the fourteenth day
Of September, 1919 the following pro-
ceedings were held and resolutions
adopted.
We the members of the First Chris
tian church in Richmond, Kentucky
joined with the people Of our country
in lamention the death of our dis
tinguished citizen, Andrew Carnegie,
but we feel that as members of this
congregation that we should take
further notice Of the death of this
great and good man because of the
splendid gift that he made to this
church. We feel that when Andrew
Carnegie left us that we had lost a
gifted and able citizen, one who loved
his fellowman. We recognize this
fact that by his energy and good
judgement he accumulated large
fortune but in doing this he kept his
own soul alive and was ever ready at
all times to lend to his fellowman a
helping hand.
charms for him and that he contribut-
ed very much to it's promotion and
elevation. We feel that he recognized
that love is the greatest power on
earth and that oft times it manifests
itself through some sweet human voice
and some charming music. We are
satisfied that Mr.. Carnegie fully ap-
preciated the power of love and that
he felt as great poet felt when he
said,
"Go tell the first man you meet
In lane or highway, in open street
That he and we live under canopy
of love,
AS broad as the blue dome above,
and thus believing his love for man.
kind drew stronger with him as years
past away.
We can not but believe that in the
spirit home to which he has gone that
he will some time sit down by the
river of life and permit memory to
sweep over his heart and permit him
to review again his life here and the
good which he did and we cherish the
hope that as he sits by that river and
fond recollections bring so many
scenes to his view he will not forget
the splendid gift he made to this con-
and while thus reviewing
his life he may hear again how
thankful is this congregation for the
splendid gift he gave to u.s.
We again express our thanks be-
cause we recognize the fact that the
organ he helped US to get, touched by
the fingers of devoted woman, has
done and will do much to help our
in the Lords house.
Therefore-Be it resolved that we
deeply regret the death of this good
man who remembered us in his life
and left us much to be thankful for.
Resolved-That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to his widow and
his daughter and that these resolu-
lions be also published in the Rich
mond Register and Paragraph and
that they also be spread upon the re-
cords of our church.
