FLEE FOR SAFETY

Galveston. September 21.-An exodus of approximately $500 people. many of them out of town visitors; the shifting ton to the mainland; the vacating of ground floors in the business district and the securing of all shipping in the harbor marked Galveston's prepara- tions today in anticipation of the West Indian hurricane supposed to be sweep ng down on the Texac coast
 While the barometer here early to- night remained motionless at 29SO, there was general rise in the tide end an appreciable hurricane swell At i'3o o'clock, a twenty mile an hour northeast wind was blowing.
 Every resident on the island has been warned of the approach of the storm Brig. Gen. J. F. Wolters, cooperating with the local weather bureau, today dispatched motorcycle messengers of the Texas National Guard to get word to all persons living down the island. Many others were notified by telephone.
 Camp Hutchings, where for over three months the National Guard troops have been bivouacked. today was dismantlcd and the militia moved to Fort Crockett This was done upon the invitation of Secretary of War Baker. General Wolters stated
 A cordon of military police was thrown around the interurban station early to- day and the ordera "Women and chit. dren first" was given.
 Later however, this order was modi- fled to permit men to accompany thei- families. According to c. G. Morse. gen. eral superintendent of the Galveston Houston interurban lines, $500 persons left over the interurban lines
 Passenger trains departing from tho city were fixed to provide accommodi tions for the hundreds who sought to quit the city. Tn addition, automobiles carried many families across the Cause way to Dickson and other mainland cities.
 While no immediate danger was feared today most of the business houses of the city, including the cotton exchange and several of the cotton congresses, closed down early in order to permit em- ployes to make preparations for the storm.

FARMERS ASSEMBLE
Huge Mass Meeting Held at Athens
 and Important Steps Taken

Athens. September 21.-(Special.)-- The farmers of Limestone county to the number of 700 or 500 met at the court house today at the call of the presi-H dent of the Limestone branch of the American Cotton Growers Association in mass meeting and after being ad- dressed by Congressman Ed Almon, R. Witt and Charles w. Sarver, strong resolutions were adopted advising and insisting upon the farmers holding their cotton seed for $60 per ton and also holding their first white cotton until the price reached 40 cents. X resolution was adopted unanimously to decrease the arceage another year st least S3 per cent
 One of the most important things done by the mass meeting was the or ganization of a corporation with S100.- 900 capital for the purpose of building Londed warehouses, and the stock was largely taken by various communities. 1t was the most enthusiastic meeting ever held in this county. and the at tention given the speakers by the large crowd present and the enthusiasm dis played by the farmers from every sec- tion marked what is believed will be the beginning of one of the most benz eflcial and helpful things ever put on foot for the help of the farmers.
 The farmers are deeply interested in the movement and it begins to look as If they had determined to stand for their rights Books are open now for subscription to the warehouse project.

FORD CUTS FLIVVER PRICE

consumption is growing less and less through ,the self-denial of peo- pie who realize the injustice Of the situation,
 Labor is being thrown out of employment, but notwithstanding this there, has been little change in the cost of living.
 Although rich in natural re- sources. the country's progress is being held practically at a stand- still through the greed of profi- teers Now is the time to call a halt to war methods, war prices and war greed. It may be neces- saryT-for everybody, to sacrifice a little, but in the end it will be most profitable. for the sooner we, get the business of the country back to pre-war conditions the sooner will the lives of our peo- pie become natural and progress prosperity and contentment be re- stored"

 cept Ford and Dodge have been more or less affected. Reports current else- where would lead one to suppose there has been some laying off of workmen. The less efficient have gone. There has been no cutting of wages. though out side this industry there have been one or two temporary shut-downs, which may lead to a rehiring of men at lower rates.
 The extent of this retrenchment may be gotten from these figures Members of the Employers Association reporting to headquarters here employed at the peak in April a little less than 20o,0o0 workmen. Tdday the same concerns em- ploy between 17.0oO and 1S,0o0 less. The cut in the automobile industry is little over 10 per cent.
 The effect of all this seems to be cer- tain prudence among workmen. It has not produced anger or radicalism. IL has stopped extrayagant buying, promot- ing saving. In lustrial cities a rapid growth of sayins = deposits is reported within recent weeks Workmen coming in with their money are asked the req son for the increased deposits They say ."Tbese good times and high wages may not last forever: it. is a good thing to put by a little money while they do. Employers report that labor is more efficient This is partly due to the wedding out of the less efficient and partly due to a different spirit among hose remaining at work.
 HARD ID ESTIMATE EFFECT Now politically, the effect of this pru- aence on the part of labor Is not easy to estimate. especially as Detroit IS en cren shop town. The automobile irdus- tr, for exafri.ie has only one unioa. that of the bodymakers. Union labor here is no, strong. What there Is of IL .- rery radical. It does not follow Goinoers. but 1t goes in for pc'tical action more strong lv than Gompers does. and there has been one little recent sign here of union labor in politics which Michigan has re- marked

 Comparatively few local residents have left. although outgoing trains were crowded with tourists. Along the water front every possible orecaution has been taken. Sail boats Of the fishing fleet and pleasure craft have been moored behind the munici- pal wharf.

New Orleans. September 21-(special) Red" Tort5elson wasn't a big asset in a pitching way during the season, be- cause they prevented his use of tae moist delivery. but Chester made up for it in a hitting way.

Phil Morrison Is. .Invincible and .BaronS Win Game

Sylacauga, September 2L-(Speeial)- Baronial standards triumphed over Syla- cauga today, when the Birmingham Southern Leaguers successfully carried out their little transforming expedition, defeating the town champions of Syla- cauga, to 8.
 Young Phil Morrison, Baron pitching recruit, was the hero of the occasion, not only leading in the hitting, with three clean bingles, but also rising to the occasion on the mound. He struck out twenty of the local athletes, allow ing only two hits. The other three were made off Tom Gallagher, who pitched part of one inning for the Barons.
 Morrison had the town batters guess ing. In the pinches he whffed them over with the proper amount of stuff, and there was no such thing as hitting him with any amount of success.
 The Barons' lineup was as follows:

MARSHALL HEADS GROUP


 Vice President Marshall will head an- other group to be composed of Senators Walsh of Massachusetts and Walsh of Montana, Garter Glass of Virginia. Un- derwood of Alabama, Hitchcock of Ne- braska, Owen of Oklahoma, Simmons of South Carolina and John N, Parker, the Eprogressive leader of Louisiana.~s
 Inaddition to these men, pretty near ly every democratic candidate for Con- gress and state office, former Governor Folk of Missouri, Francis J. Heney of California, former Secretary McAdoc and former National Chairman Cum mings will be assigned to strategic points which the democratic managers believe can be won to the democratic cause.
 In the democratic view the repub-
 lican belief that the presidential
 contest is all over but the shout
 ing is not all Justified by the facts
 in the case. Reports from the first
 survey made by state leaders en-
 courage the opinion of the demo-
 cratic members that Governor Cox
 stands more than fair chance of
 winning Illinois. Iowa, Maryland,
 West Virginia, Indiana. Kentucky,
 Missouri Oklahoma. Colorado, New
 Mexico, Arizona. Utah. Nevadn, Montana, one of the DakOtas, and as a remote chance Idaho and Min
 nesOta.
 It is conceded by the democratic man. agers that only startling reversal in existing form will give them chance to carry any of the New England States, with the possible exception oi New Hampshire and Connecticut; New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michi- gan. Wisconsin, California, Kansas, Ne braska. North Dakota, Washington and Oregon. Wherefore they will center their fighting battalions in the states which seem to hold out an even chance to success. particularly West Virginia Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Minnesota and Illinois.
 A survey of the conditions under which the democratic national commit tee is working reveals a decided i'm provement during the last two or three weeks. The various cogs in the na- tional machine are functioning harmon iously and about half the number re- 1uired to manipulate the republican machine are performing great deal more work.
