WATER IS RECED|NC
IN FLORIDA TOWN;
DAMAGE IS SLIGHT

MOOREHAVEN, Fla. Oct. 10
little early last evening, but the wind
rose again during the night and thN
water reached its highest about &"
a. m. At s a. NJ. the water has fai-
len so rapidly that the highest point
in the middle of the streets in places
can be seen, making walking easier.
The wind is much quieter and the
water in the lake, though still rum
ming in at a l. rate, is running
off as rapidly. No visible damage
was done to any buildings, and only
a slight damage to floors in the
stores and to stocks.
The dredge Panama was started
IN to assist in strengthening the
dykes. but the strong wind made the
cumbersome vessel unmanage
half mile from where she was to be-
gin her work.
A steady stream OF rural resi-
dents were arriving, making their
entrance into the city via the banks
Of a. canal as all roads and bridges
have been reported washed aWa%'
They brought along part OF their
live stock. However, they reported
crop and live stock losses would be
exceedingly heavy.
All high buildings in the city
were. reported filled with refugees
from the lowlands outside the city.
They further reported that the en-
tire section was under water.
The negro section of the city was
completely inundated, this part OF
the towns population being provided
with shelter in packing. houses.
The gale started Churning the
lake into a fury shortly after mid
night Tuesday. -Four hours later
the dykes showed signs of weaken
ing. An alarm was given. r. w.
Nolte. a member of the staff OF
the Democrat, a local newspaper
related today the fight made to saw?
the city from the flood by a small
band of citizens.
Hampered by the high wind and
heavy sprays from the lake. the
army fought with sandbags, filling
in broken places in the dykes.
Shortly before daybreak citizens be-
lieved they had conquered the swirl
ing waters. The winds velocity in
creased and the dykes began to
crumple. With sandbags, Nolte said,
they charged and recharged the on
rushing water, but in vain. Watef

volunteers had to scramble to safety.

AID VALOREM TAX
SYSTEM DEFENDED
BY COMP TROLLER

Georgia's ad valorem system Of
taxation was ably defended before
the special tax commission Wednes-
day morning by Comptroller Cen
eral William A. Wright, whose long
experience with such problems
ranks him as a recognized expert.
The general declared that the state
does not need q new system OF
taxation.
You have law enough now" said
he. what you need is administra-
ton and enforcement, amendment
and protection. There is enough
property in this state escaping taxa,
ton annually to support most hand
somely every institution in the
state"
General Wright's defense of the
present ad valorem law was sup.
ported in part by j. K. Orr, promi-
nent Atlanta merchant and head of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
association of Georgia. MIR. Orr,
conceded, however, that as last
resort, a graduated income tax on
gross incomes with a maximum
rate of three per cent and few eX
emptions might be necessary.
Mr.. Orr thought it unwise 20 con-
slider seriously abandoning the ad
Valorem system.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-A bill for an

however, allowed Charles G. Palmer,
attorney and grand dragon of the
realm of Illinois, of the khan, to
amend the bill and the injunction

The three klans are alleged by
Attorney Palmer TO have seeded and
aligned themselves with Emperor

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 9-An
unrequited desire 10 maintain

the police today to have been the
principal motive behind the suicide
here yesterday Of the Rev. John Wiz

room where he apparently had shot
himself several hours before.
In a letter addressed to his wife.

the Rev. Mr.. Jones said:

anywhere on the divorce question

Horde Of Pole Cats
Storms Virginia Town;
Citizens Are In Panic

WINCHESTER, Va, Oct. TO-
Business( has almost been blocked at
Stephen City, thriving Frederick
county town, eight miles south of
here, by the appearance Sunday of
a horde Of skunks, or pole cats.
Where they came from in such large
numbers no one seems to know. And
how to get rid of them is a prob
lem that is harrassing the town
council, the police force, the county
board Of health and school trustees.
The presence of the pests has dis
rupted business, and it is feared
schools will have to be closed up.
No less than sixty of the animals
have been killed, but they seem to
be SO numerous, especially in the
suburbs, that the attempted exter-
mination has had little effect upon
their numbers.

DRY AGENTS HOME
DYVAM|T TED; BABY
AND MOTHER HURT

STEUBENNILLE, Ohio, Oct. 10
The home of Charles Pearce, So,
prohibition enforcement officer at
Smithfield Ohio, west Of here, was
blown up today by dynamite.
Pearce, his wife and baby escaped
serious injury.
The blast partially wrecked the
city hall opposite the Pearce home,
the Spragg restaurant the home of
Mrs. Mary Merryman and broke
windows in three score residences.
The dynamite, placed under the
front of Pearce's house, wrecked the
structure and it collapsed inward,
the walls and roof falling into the
basement. Pearce, his wife and II.
months-old baby, were thrown in
the cellar with the debris.
Pearce extricated himself, rescued
his baby and then with the aid of
neighbol dug his wife from the
ruins after an hours hard work.
The baby was cut and bruised. Mrs.
Pearce had her back injured and
suffered greatly from shock.
Mrs. Ierriman's home, adjoining,
was so Badly wrecked that the aged
lady, who had been seriously ill, had
to be removed from the tottering
structure with ladders to the second
floor.
The damage caused by the explo.
sion is estimated in excess of TWEEN.
ty thousand dollars.
Miners en- route to work claim to
have seen four strangers standing
on a corner near the Pearce home
and others report they saw an auto
mobile with several men passengers
leaving the town at a high rate of
speed shortly before the blast.
Sheriff Ed Lucas and deputies of
Jefferson county are working on the
theory that liquor law violators
prosecuted by Pearce were respon-
sible for the outrage and according
to latest reports, are seeking sus-
poets at Piney Fork, mining town
near Smithfield.
Pearce claims he has received no
threatening letters, but has been
openly threatened by bootleggers ar
rested recently.

Farmers to Blame
For Own Troubles,
Wallace Declares


SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 10.-Sec-
retary of Agriculture Wallace at
the worlds dairy congress, declared
today farmers are to blame for
their own troubles. They have
made the mistake of producing too
much food. Production must de-
crease and prices increase until the
gap between prices for farm pro-
duce and what the farmer must
buy, is closed before farmers find
themselves in as secure a position
industrially as other business
groups, he said.
He believes the readjustment now
in progress will straighten matters
out for farmers and that President
Coolidge will work out some system
which will benefit them.
