HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE LOSE LIVES
IN HURRICANE ON COAST OF FLORIDA
Investigation of Deaths of World
War Veterans Being Made;
Bodies Being Burned

Between 200 and 500 persons lost
their lives and property damage of
millions Of dollars was wrought by a
tropical hurricane that swept north
ward across the Florida keys early in
last week, moved up the west coast,
then northeastward across Florida
and southern Georgia, and finally
spent itself Wednesday night and
Thursday in heavy rains over the
southeast and wind squalls along the
Carolina coast.
Greatest los tof life in one locality
was in an FERA camp for World war
veterans on Matecumbe keys off the
Florida mainland, where as many as
Is Or 100 men were reported killed.
The men had been sent from Wash
ington, under the Harry L. Hopkins,
relief administration, and were en-
gagged in highway construction work.
In an Official count" by the Red
Cross Thursday night the casualty
list from the hurricane in the Florida
keys was placed at 256 dead and 252
injured. Most of the victims were
World war veterans, who had been
sent to camps along the keys by the
Washington authorities during the
summer.
After the storm had passed, vast
amount of work was faced by relief
organizations in carrying succor to
the destitute survivors Of the stricken
area and in clearing up debris.
President Roosevelt Thursday issu-
ed an order from his Hyde Park home
that the veterans in the Florida
camps be given full care by Federal
forces.
He insisted at the same time that
an investigation be made to determ-
inc why the veterans were not evacu-
ated before the storms fury demol-
ish their camps.
Considerable citrus fruit loss as
result of the storm in Florida was
indicated. Estimates Of the Florida
Citrus Exchange place the storm toll
of Florida's already slim citrus crop
at 100000 boxes-750, 900 Of grape
fruit and 100000 of oranges.
The wind reached a velocity of At
miles an hour at Wilmington, while
high waves and winds dashed the

NEW ASSOCIATION OF BAPTISTS

An association composed Of delega-
tions from Union, Wolf Knob, Pleas
ant Home, Sugar Grove, Bethel, and
Zion Hill Baptist Church will con-
vene with the latter church which is
about one mile north of Sturgills. The
session begins at 11:00 a. m. on FRI
day, Sept. 81, and includes the tive
succeeding days. Rev. Eli Graham
will preach the Introductory sermon
The doctrines which these churches
hold forth are, in some ways different
or unlike doctrines preached by other
Baptist denominations. They believe
in the Trinity, the Bible as being CIV
en- by divine inspiration of the Holy
Spirit, the universal atonement of
Jesus Christ for sin, salvation by
grace through faith and repentance,
and being born again by the Holy
Spirit, and enduring to the end, the
unity, liberty, and equality of Gods
children, the ordinances of water
baptism, Lords Supper, and foot
washing as belong to the church
which is composed of all regenerate
persons, the final eternal reward of
the righteous and eternal punishment
of the wicked. They are termed open
communionists because they contend
that it is right for all people who
are born of Gods Spirit to worship
together and take the Lords Supper
together.-Reported.

KINGFISH OF LOUISIANA SUCCUMBS
TO BULLET WOUND MADE BY ASSASSIN
Huey Longs Spectacular Rise to
Fame in Keeping with Tragic
but Dramatic Death
TO LIE ON CAPITOL GROUNDS

Huey P. Long, dictator IF louisiana,
died Tuesday after having been shot
through the abdomen by DIR. Carl A..
Welsh Jr., 3O-year-old Baton Rouge
eye SPECIALIST. DR.. Weiss shot the
senator as he stepped from the house
chamber of the capitol building in
Baton Rouge, Sunday night.
Weiss, member of family po-
ltically opposed to Long, Immediate
ly dropped dead, his body riddled by
40 bullet wounds inflicted by Longs
heavily-armed bodyguards.
The bullet from Weiss gun struck
the senator in the right side, pene-
trated the colon in two places, in
jured a kidney and passed out of his
body in the back. An emergency oper-
alton and five blood transfusions
!. failed to save him.
y Life Spectacular
Long was AZ years old and his
spectacular career sounds like fiction
instead of fact. He was born in
log cabin from which he rose from
a printers devil and baking powder
salesman into place of power not
only in Louisiana but in national af-
fairs. He so ruled his own state that
he is known as the Louisiana King
fish.
Nothing stood in his way of achiev-
ing a political end. He crushed NUM-
cipal governments, unseated election
officials and used old and new politi-
cal strategems to beat down opposi-
tion.
Many ambitions were fulfilled, but
one he did not live to realize. He
wanted to create a s'little District of
Columbia" in Baton Rouge parish
from which to rule him empire and
make of Louisiana modern
'Utopia.'
Heshad definitely stated that he
meant 10 run for President in 1886.
His hatred of the New Deal had be-
come almost, az. obsession in the last
two years. He called it the est. Vitus
dance" regime. A few months ago, he

welt for nomination at the Chicago

BOOKS TO INACCURATE NEW RENTAL
SYSTEM ARRIVE IN COUNTY OF ASHE
Parents Must Apply to Teachers and
Not to Superintendent; Rent
for One Third Price

The State Purchase and Rental
Commission members have been
working day and night to get school
text books out to the counties where
they will be rented to pupils of the
state schools under the new rental
system that was authorized by the
1885 General Assembly. The texts are
to be rented for one-third of their
list prices.
The shipment for this county ar
rived in jefferson the latter part of
the week and Superintendent Miller
and his office force were making
every effort to get them distributed
into the various school districts at
the earliest possible moment.
The principals Of the central
schools are urged to get their allot-
ments as soon as possible as the
books will be given out on the plan
Of First come, first served"
Mr.. Miller states that the books
will be handled through the central
schools and that the principals Of
those schools will be responsible for
delivering them to the various schools
| in their districts. Then, if the books
are lost or destroyed during the year,
the teachers who gave the books out
are responsible to the central school
principals and the central school
principals are in turn responsible to
Mr.. Miller who has to make settle
ment with the state authorities. I'm
der this system, students or parents
must apply to the local teachers and
not to the superintendent for the
books.
Mr.. Miller is sure that there will
be enough books to fill all the needs
and for this reason he is urging each
family who can to buy secondhand
books. In this way, the students OWE
the books outright and are not re-
sponsible for loss or destruction.

noon, the body Of the slain political
chieftain will lie in state in the ro-
tunda of the huge statehouse which
