San Antonio Flood
Forty-seven Bodies Recover
ed-Estimated Death List
Stands at 250 to 300

san Antonio. Sept. 1.-the list
Of known dead from the flood Of
early Saturday was II late today.
The dead and missing are estimat-
ed at approximately 250 by OFF,
ciais engaged in recovering the
bodies while Police Commissioner
Phil Wright estimated that it might
reach 500. Many residents con-
sider these figures high.
TIE property loss is placed at
$5, 10000 by some business men
and those in charge Of reclama-
tion work. Estimates both lower
and higher also are heard. While
it has been declared that possibly
the majority of the estimated dead
floased down the streams. the
searchers believe that as the
wreckage and driftwood is cleared
away others will be found.
''he efforts Of the rescuers today
were confined principally TO recov-
eriag bodies. work Of rescuing the
marooned having been completed
yesterday.
The fact that most Of the bodies
recovered have been fully clothed
showed that the victims either were
warned or heard the approaching
rush of water in time to make prep
ara tionS to leave.
The city proper has been Grip
pied day from the flood. There
have been no lights nor street car
service because of no electric pow
er. Water has been running in the
mains in a few portions Of the city
and the pressure is weak at these
places. City officials said late to-
day that the water pressure would
be turned on before tomorrow and
it is thought electric current also
will be available tomorrow.
City building Inspector John L.
Richter, estimated the damage SC
buildings at approximately $780,
O00. He said that no large build
ings have been damaged perma-
nently and that none is in a dan
gerous condition. Hardly any Of

ings or stock.
Precautions to prevent an cpl
denlic are being taken. A check by
D. D. Harrigan, city engineer, show
ed that 13 Of the 27 bridges span
ming the San Antonio river are ,vir-
tualiy undamaged At first it was
thought all but four were damaged
but with the removal Of debris and
driftwood today, it was found that
l3 still are safe and sound. Only
one bridge was washed away.
The rapidity with which the wa
ter receded after the rains stopped
is accounted for by the city being
at the head waters of the three
streams.
A rigid restricted area was roped
Off today and guarded by policemen
and soldiers from Fort Sam Hous.
ton.
The Red Cross and other similar
organizations opened relief head
quarters yesterday and all last night
and today bread was passed out to
the hungry and clothes given other
sufferers.
There was limited telephone serv-
ice today. Small automobiles We're
backed up to the dynamos, rear
wheels lacked Up and belts put over
the rims for power. :
City officials estimate that the
total effect of the BOD will not be
cleared up for a month.
Part of the business district will
resume its natural course, .omor-
row, however, merchants in various
parts of the citw displaying signs
today that they would resume
business.

KEEP IT IN CIRCULATION"

The Alpena (Mich.) News, in
paying its bills recently. has been
sending with its checks slip
bearing the above caption, under
which is, the following statement:
The usual custom of holding up
bills until the tenth of the month
ties. up large sums of money which
at this time could be used to good
advantage. The News will so far
aas possible hereafter pay all in
voices as soon as they are presented
and audited. II the plan appeals
TO you, give it trial.
It is plan which ought to rec
onmend itself instantly, in any
city, without argument. Nearly
everybody in recent years has got
into the habit of delaying payment
more or less. Firms and individ-
uals seem to expect longer credit
than they used to, and often de-
rnand.it as if it We're a right The
result, obvious enough to anyone
who thinks the matter over. is to
slow up business all around. 1t is
cash and liquid credit that turn the
wheels of industry and commerce.
The faster money moves, the faster
business moves.
There is particular need Of such
-aeceleration just now, as the AL
pena paper suggests. Nothing would
do more to revive business activity
and prosperity than. the prompt
est possible payment OF bills by
everybody.
1t is a heroic thing to start this
reform alone, as the News appears
TO be doing. For success, it needs
general cooperation. The example.
however, is infectious. The chances
are that any business institution
which adopts this policy and at the
same time gives it sufficient pub
licity will soon profit itself, in the
response of its own customers and
in the general Improvement in the
community. Prompt payment of
obligations is bread cast upon the
waters.

TOO MUCH REGULATION.

=
AS the most basic means Of meet
ing the crisis brought about by the
ravages of the boil weevil the
farmers of Sumter county are be-
ing urged by the experts of Glenn
son College and the Department Of
Agriculture to adopt a new farm
ing programme. One Of the most
important items in this programme
is that every farmer acquire two
cows to each one. horse farm. that
he operates and go actively into
the dairy business. The bankers
and business men of this city, in
cooperation with the. farmers, are
using their. most energetic efforts
to develop market for the dairy
products of the entire county by
the ablishment of a creamery
in Sumter. According to reports.
made to the mass meeting OF farm
ers on Monday. the establishment
of a. creamery Of sufficient ca
pacity to take care Of all the cream
that may be produced in the coun-
ty is, reasonably assured, nearly all
the necessary capital having been
pledged. This was most encourag-
ing and gave rise to the hope that
the farmers of the county, being
guaranteed market for their milk
and cream, would go into the bus
mess OF dairying.
But the. enthusiasm that was
growing has been chilled and the
prospect of developing a dairying
industry is not as bright as it. was
a. few days ago. Like dash Of
cold water came the drastic and
complicated rules and regulations
promulgated by the Sumter Board
of Health. If these rules and reg
ulations are enforced to the letter
not one farmer out of a prospective
hundred will even. consider buying
dairy COWS. To comply with all OF
the restrictions and regulations set
forth by the Board Of Health is an
impossibiIty for the vast majority
Of cotton farmers, whose interest
is sought to be enlisted. If the
Board of Health desires to kill
outright at its very inception a
movement that promised to help
revolutionize the farming system Of
Sumter county and save the farm
ers from the financial ruin that is
certain under boil weevil condi-
tons, unless money producing
crops can be found to take the
place Of cotton, it has only to for
mulate and enforce burdensome
and drastic regulations and restric-
tions covering the production and
marketing Of dairy products. To
ensure a pure and sanitary supply
OF milk for the people of Sumter
it is not necessary that the local
Board of Health undertake to pre-
scribe the architecture and loca-
ton of cow barns and milking
houses. All that is essential is that
the Board of Health establish q
standard of purity of milk and by
freauen: tests by the Health Off
Ger ascertain whether or. not the
dairymen are keeping their milk
up to the standard. Those who
fail to produce pure and sanitary
milk can be penalized by the revo-
cation of their permit to sell milk
in the city. The people are not in
