The residential and business sec

Equally as great damage was done
TO property in the county by the
rushing waters. Brushy Fork Creek
running directly through the city,
became a rushing torrent of muddy
water in a few moments.
The burst of water from the
heavens was the worst and most
destructive in the history of Ken
lucky. So swift was the rise of wa
ter that horses and cattle in the LOU
isville & Nashville railroad yards
were caught and drowned before
railroad men could release them
from their pens. Most of Car
isles inhabitants had retired for
the night when the cloud burst,
heralded by terrific thunder claps
and vivid lightning, suddenly en-
quilted the town. Houses were lift

Among those rescued were per-

ed in the Ferris wheel. They were
removed from their perilous posi-
tion with the greatest difficulty.
Rescue after rescue, attended
with great danger, was made in some
instances, men with ropes scaled
walls to reach the maroOned inhab-

trapped in the upper apartments Of
their homes by the rushing water
were Mayor AL. Peters and his fam

terrified people in that section of the
town sought safety on the roofs
while their dwellings shook under
the pounding of the water.

Carlisle has presented a scene of de-
vastatior of such extent that the
stunned property owners have not
been able to take accurate stock OF
their losses. Hundreds of sight
seers from Paris visited Carlisle
Saturday and Sunday and reported
the scene as being one almost be-

WEEKLY BANK CLEARINGS

The report of clearings of the four
Paris banks for the past week shows
q decrease Of $50, 9,01S.30, as COM
pared tC the previous week. The
decline is partly ascribed to the fact
that the August business of the
community was of a dull nature, and
partly to the fact that workmen are
laying UP a sufficiency for the win
ter.
The money market is easier, large
sums being put into circulation
through the various enterprises at
work in and around Paris. The re-
port follows:

Republican League Plank Raps Treaty
But Declares for Concert of Nations

cording to the estimate of the Harbord
commission, organized by authority of
President Wilson, we would be called
upon to send $4,000 American boys to
police Armenia, and to expend $276,-
100000 in the first year and 1885,
100000 in five years, This estimate
is made up on the basis that we would
have only rowing bands to fight, but
in case Of serious trouble with the
Turks or with Russia, force exceed
ing 100000 would be necessary.
"No more striking Illustration can
be found of President Wilson'S disre-
gard of the lives of American boys or
American interests.

DAIRY INTERESTS
ORGANIZE HERE
County Dairymen's Association Form
ed Yesterday In Columbus.

The dairymen of Lowndes county
have formed an association, not for
the purpose of boosting the price of
milk, cream and other products of
the dairy, but for mutual helpfulness
in the betterment of conditions gener-
ally and for an exchange of helpful
ideas.
The Lowndes County Dairymen's s
Association was formed yesterday
morning in the office of Mr.. G. F.
Sherrod, Mr. Sherrod acting as chair
man Of the meeting. Mr.. w. D.
Bishop was chosen secretary.
The first regular meeting of the
association will be held in Mr.. Sher-
rods office next Wednesday morning
at ten o'clock. 1t is earnestly hoped
that all dairymen of the county will
be present. In order for the organiza-
ton to become effective and to ac-
complish good results, there must be
close cooperation on the part of all
who are interested. An association
of this kind can be made to do great
good for the community if effectively
conducted, for there is no article of
food so. commonly used by persons of
all ages as milk.

MRS. Gait RESIGNS.

GENEVA, Switzerland, June 12.-
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait resigned
the presidency of the international
Woman's Suffrage Alliance at the ses-
sion of that body held this afternoon,
She delivered a sympathetic speech
saying that though she felt like a
mother to all, after 16 years as presi-
dent of the alliance, her age and her
diminished energies compelled her to
relinquish the task, which, in her
opinion, required younger woman.
The delegates, on proposal of a
British delegate, protested against
Mrs. Cats withdrawal, and begged
her to reconsider her judgment. Her
decision, however, appears to be final
London was chosen as the perma-
nent seat of the international Wom-
ans Suffrage Alliance.

Extensive repairs are now being
made at the Gilmer Hotel. This pop
llar tavern is being made more pleas
ant and more slightly. Rooms have
been re-plastered and re-papered,
paint has been literally applied, and
the whole interior of the building has
been ovcrhauled.
Painters are at work at present on
the exterior of the building. The
stone and brick-work is being painted
red, and the lines of plaster are being
penciled. When the workmen COM
plete their labors the Gilmer's gen
aral appearance will be in keeping
with it's spirit of hospitality and its
excellence as temporary home for
sojourners.
The fame Of the Gilmer is not con-
fined to Mississippi, nor to the South.
AS far away as Los Angeles, Calf

Hays, in Charge.

DR.. Hardy R. Hays, of Jackson.
Miss, has been here for several days
making arrangements for the estab.
hshment of a free clinic in Columbus
for the treatment Of veneral diseases
In the beginning, the clinic here will
take care of patients in Lowndes
county only, but later may be enlarg.
ed so as to. embrace more extended
territory.
The headquarters of the clinic will
be in the First State Bank Building
An experienced trained nurse. Mr.
Stone, will have charge of the rooms
and will look after the welfare of the
patients. The clinic will be in the
immediate charge of a Columbus phv-
sician, who is yet to be chosen.
The clinic is an institution of the
United States Government, and the
treatment to be given here is the
latest known to modern medical
science. The city council of Colum.
bus has contributed one thousand dol
lars to the support of the clinic, and
it is hoped to obtain like contribu-
tion from the board of supervisors OF
Lowndes county Inasmuch as the dis.
eases to be treated, if not properly
looked after are sure to exert an evil
influence upon generations yet un-
born, it would seem that the com.
munity cannot show too much liberal.
