Nothing Definitely Known of Senator
Royals Candidacy.

In last issue of this paper mention
was made of rumor to the effect
that Senator j. Powell Royal would
be a candidate for reelection on an
independent ticket against Mr.. r. o.
Crockett. the nominee of the party,
for the Senate from the district COM
posed Of the counties of Tazewell,
Russell, Buchanan and Dickenson. 1.
was also stated that that no credence
was given the rumor by Mr.. ROYALS
closest political friends in the alb
sence of any positive statement from
Mr.. Royal himself. So far as this
paper is informed Mr.. Royal has
come. to no conclusion as yet. No an
nouncement has been authorized of
his candidacy. What Mr.. Royals f.
nal decision will be is, therefore, un-
known in thise office, at this writing.
Should Mr.. Royal finally decide to
enter the race, as an independent, the
contest would be lively one Owing
to family connections and relationship
the fight between the two Republican
candidates it is believed by friends,
would be one of the hottest known for
years. Just how the Democrats, who,
it seems, would hold the balance of
power, under the circumstances, would
vote, cannot be guessed at this date.
1t is stated by several of the "know-
ing" ones that many Democrats, ex-
pecting no opposition to Mr.. Crock
ett from their own party, have al
ready pledged themselves. This, how
ever, is only conjecture.

Rphurad

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
Sept. l3.-Discussing the question,
"Should exports be restricted as a
means Of reducing the present high

the Federal Reserve Board, in his
address to the convention of tho

sharp distinction between foreign
trade with those countries which arc
able to pay cash and trade with those
whic NUT be financed through credit.

"to sell to any nation any goods for
which that nation may be able to pny

dead lips denied me by the living"

Probably the most definite news came
from Corpus Christi Tuesday night
in the statement that fifty-six bodies.

had been discovered between Portland

brought across Neuces Bay by q resi-

HEAVY TOLL in
TEXAS STORM
Three Hundred People Believed
to Have Perished in Corpus
Christi-Attempts to Iden-
tify Bodies Abandoned.

Corpus Christi, Texas, Sept. II.
Darkness fell on the storm-stricken
city of Corpus Christi and enyirons
tonight with the list of dead from
Sundays hurricane lowering around
the 800 mark and with q heavy rain
which fell almost continuously
throughout the day hampered the
work OF clearing the debris and in
creasing. the sufferings of thousands
of homeless.
All attempts at identifying the bod
les had been abandoned because of
their conditions, and burial parties
sent sent out along the shores of Neuces
Bay were hurrying the corpses to
nearby towns for intelment.
The bay front is lighted tonight by
n score or more of huge boniires which
cast sickly yellow light over the
wrecked portion of Corpus Christi,
adding strange pallor to the scene
OF desolation left by wind and rain.
into these fires are being cast the
carcasses of cattle drowned when the
tidal wave swept over Mustang Island
which lies across the mouth of Cor
pus Christi Bay.
Heavy rainfall to the east of Cor
pus Christi was threatening to stop
relief trains hurrying here over the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass Rail-
way. Last reports said tho Neuces
river was rising rapidly and that
railway bridge between Robstown and
Odem was in danger of being carried
away.
The food situation, serious from the
outset, took a moer acute turn today,
with the arrival of several hundred
refugees from the surrounding coun-
try. Most of these were cotton pick
ers who had been left destitute as the
result of the destruction of all cotton
fields in this section. The fear was
freely expressed tonight that when
the limited food stock in surrounding
towns is exhausted more than thir-
ty thousand persons would become
entirely dependent upon relief sup
plies now being brought here.
