CYCLONE CAUSES
MANY DEATH
PART OF THREE STATES SWEPT
By STORM-DEATH LIST
MAY INCREASE

Birmingham, April pa death
list which tonight stood at more than
40 and property loss Of millions OF
dollars was the toll eXacted by series
of tornadoes which today swept a
score of towns. villages and isolated
farms in Eastern Mississippi, North
western Alabama and the southern
counties o. Tennessee.
Communication with many OF the
stricken districts was difficult, but
fragmentary reports agreed that the
tolnadoes swept down with deadly
suddenneSS, obliterating everything
that lay in their paths. In at least
one case-that OF Rose Hill, Miss
practically the entire town is believed
TO have been destroyed. and in sew
eral instances all members OF fam
lily were reported to have been caught
in the debris of the home.
Sweeps Narrow Path
Striking first apparently IN lauder
dale county, Miss, about 10 o'clock
this morning, the storm swept mar
row path across the remainder of the
State, carrying destruction to dozen
or more communities. About the same
time effects of the same or a similar
disturbance was reported from coun-
ties in the northwestern corner of Ala
bama, the extreme force of the wind
being expended before the Tennssee
line was reached, in Williamson and
Maury counties.
Meridian, Miss, the heart of rich
farming district, suffered heaviest, ac-
cording to late reports, with known
death list of twenty-one. The village
of Glen, Alcoln county, numbered its
dead at 10; Aberdeen, 10; Ingomar, 6;
Egypt, 5; Baker, 5, and Bay Springs,
4. A lumber camp near Philadelphia,
Neshoba county, lost twelve workers
killed and thirty were injured, several
of whom may die.
Score of Bodies Recovered.
In Alabama, the rural districts
around Sheffield, Gurley, Little Cove
and Waco sustained the full force OF
the storm, and, with some sections
still cut off, a score of bodies have
been recovered.
Across the Tennessee line, ,l6O miles
from blasted Meridian, tornado up
set residences and farm buildings ano
cut swarth through forests and or
chards. Only three deaths are known
to have occurred in Tennessee, how
ever.
Practically all reports Of today S
storm describe the local destruction
as having been confined to path
measuring from 100 to 500 yards
wide, within which the wind left moth
ing but the most solid structures
standing.

DIAL SCORES EXTRAVAGANCE
South Carolina Senator Favors Over.
all and Calico Move.

Washington, April 19.-Senator
Dial, Democrat, South Carolina, in a
Senate speech today, complimented
the overall and calico movement to
combat the high cost of clothing.
1--WE have been encouraged recently
by reading in the papers that the peo-
pie the country over, especially in the
South, have rebelled against the high
cost of clothing" he said, "and that
they are establishing new overall
clubs and calico brigadeS daily"
"This is a spirit that should be en-
couraged by everyone, rich or poor
Senator Dial declared. 81 am delight
ed to know that the people are begin
ming to realize that it is not the prov
ince of the government to set styles
and prescribe what should be worn
and eaten. They ought to begin to
recognize that their prosperity, like
their salvation, is in their own hands.
"The price of mems clothing has
gone all out of propotion. It is en-
couraging to see the school and col
|lege boys falling into line so readily.
The women in this country are rebel
ling likewise against the high cost Of
fabrics they use. They will look
charming from their graceful heads
to their dainty feet in any uniform
they may select. The troubles of to-
day are imitation, extravaganza, false
pride and Incidence.
Furthermore, Mr.. President, the
people of this country are long suf-
fering, but they will not stand for
every outrage. 1 noticed the other
day where the plumbers of Birming-
ham, Ala, have organized for S12 a
day, and require to be driven to their
work in automobiles, and will not al
low the drivers to be helpers. This
is autocrScy run mad. They, and all
such should be looked upon as public
enemies.
"Let us wear old clothes and refrain
from purchasing everything we can
do without, and the country will soon
get in joint again"

l.. O. HOLLOWAY DEAD.
Well Known Tobacco Man Passes
Away in Charleston.

Mr.. L. o. Holloway, widely known
man of Lake City, died Sunday night
at IL o'clock in a Charleston sanitor-
ium. He was fifty years of age and
was one of the most respected clti'
zens of Lake City, where he has been
engaged chiefly in the tobacco busi'
ness.
Mr.. Holloway went to Lake City
about fifteen years ago, from Durham
n. c., representing the American To,
bacco Company as buyer. He held
this place until about four years ago
when he, with G. R. Bowen, bought
the brick warehouse owned by ]. D
King. In this enterprise he was sue
cessful. He married Miss Eva Rol-
lins, who with five children, survive
him.
Mr.. Holloway was taken to Charles
ton Sunday afternoon by special train
over the Atlantic Coast Line and car
ried at once to the sanitorium. He
was known to be in desperate con-
dition and it was hoped that AN i'm
mediate operation would save his life.
The deceased was we'll known and
popular throughout the tobacco belt
of Virginia and North Carolina.
His body was taken to Lake City
Monday for interment.

THURSDAY, APRIL p, 1920

State C0nSCaDle ErcnelueiSel anu
his staff of deputies, having cleaned
up Florence county, dropped down to
Kingstree last week and inaugurated
a "clean up" crusade in old Williams
burg. In Florence, if reports are
true, they got what they went after
illicit distilleries and moonshlne IL
quor-yes, plenty of it, whiskey, Stills
mash and the proprietors of numerous
low-bush manufactures.
They did not tarry long in this COM
munity-only a few days-but long
enough to capture number Of stills,
a quantity of mash and several gal
Ions of white tightening" juice con-
densed from concoction that the pro-
hjbition law of the land forbids max
ing or using. The stills captured were
crude enough, being made of lard cans
and iron pipe.
In the section known as "Hells Half
Acre" four stills were captured and
destroyed along with several barrels
of mash and two or three men (coI-
ored) were arrested. Near Salters
Depot, there is a colored settlement
called Little Germany, and IN this
settlement lived colored man named
William Matthews, rather inclined to
be bad. He was suspected, and a
quantity of whiskey was found in his
house, but when the officers started
their search, Matthews started to fight
and was using a foot ADJ, a most
dangerous weapon in fight, on the
officers when Constable Darrow shot
and so severely wounded him that he
died several hours later Thursday af-
ternoon.
The constables were assisted IN
in their work by Sheriff Graham and
Deputy Sheriff Cockfeld, the latter re-
ceiving a painful blow on his arm
from Matthews adj.
It is indeed lamentable that so early
in the game of illicit distilling that,
rather than submit to the law, hon.
icide had to be committed here in what
we believe and preach to be one OF the
most law-abiding communities in the
State, and the great question arises:
"Is it going to do any good; is the
killing of Matthews over a few quarts
of poor whiskey going to deter others
from making t."
Very largely, public sentiment seems
to be averse to the present prohibl-
ton law and there is no room for the
entertainment of any doubt about the
increase and spread of moonShining-
the evidence is already cumulative
and comes from many quarters, both
urban and rural, that Illicit manu-
facture has already developed to tre-
mendous proportions. 1t Is the COM
mon talk that fermented and distilled
beverages abound in some cities-are
as easily procured as ever they were.
Some of the ardent may be old stock,
but the reasonable guess is that new
sources of supply have already de-
veloped. Moonshining is no longer
confined to the Tennessee or Kentucky
mountains.
But the rural moonshiners have by
no means abandoned the game. Not
lard cans only, but garbage cans, dis
carded oil barrels and even trunks OF
hollow trees can be scooped out and
turned to account as moonshine still
tanks.

Mormon Temple
in Hawaii Ready

seventy years of effective work by the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints in Hawaii. On December II,
1850, only three years after the great
migration of the Mormons to Utah,
the first party of Mormon missionar-
les landed In Hawaii, a little more than
thirty years later than the first Chris
tian missionaries from Boston. In this
first Mormon party was Elder George
Q. Cannon, lately counsellor to the
first presidency of the church in Salt
Lake City. He remained in the islands
number Of years, learned the native
language and translated the Book of
Mormon into Hawaiian.
Joseph f. Smith, the late president
Of the church, came to Hawaii in 1854
rs missionary, being but sixteen
years old at that time. He remained
in the islands four years and returned
In 1886 for a stay Of two years, dur
Ing which his son, Elias Wesley

Of the Hawaiian mission, was born.
