In Arkansas where; the greatest , havoc Was wrought^ the Red Cross is at work ih Hempfctead and Miller , counties ^here hundreds of families ' * are 'homeless. Tents have been furnished by the national guard and blankets are being rushed to the suf> ferers. The extent of property loss can not ' be determined for days. In Arkansas on many plantations in Miller and counties, a rich farming section, practically every builc^g was destroyed; newly planted crops washed out, orchards ruined, roads * v and bridges badly damaged, almost all telephone and telegraph wires destroyed and railroad tracks washed ?* nlocp* Farm houses UUW ait manj ^ i v : some distance from the direct path of the storm were damaged. Estimates of the property loss in these two counties tonight, exceeded $2,000,000. At Atlanta, O'Farrell and Avinger ^ ' across the Arkansas line in Texas, many farm houses and outbuildings were destroyed and crops in these sections are said to be almost a complete loss. Heavy property loss in Tennessee * is reported at Newport, Lynnville and ^ ConneTsville. In Shelby county alone K the county commissioners tonight es ^ timated, the loss frsroads and Bridges was $75,000. In Mississippi, in addition to actual loss from the high winds, much farm land will be inundated by the rapidly rising streams throughout the state. ^ A number of railroads in that state report tracks washed out and damage to road beds by the unprecedented r&infall. A repoi. received tonight from Amite county says ten farm fr houses were destroyed by a storm F * . late Saturday and ten persons injured, one fatally. ' In Alabama property loss in Birmingham is estimated at $200,000 with ten injured. Heavy rains and high winds in several parts of North Alabama, also are, reported to have ^ * caused heavy property and crop loss.

Finney and the public health nurse, Miss Theressa Lightsey. At these conferences children under six years of age will be weighed, measly ured and examined. A record will be ^ kept for the office and a record given the mother. A comparison of the ^ condition of the baby with the condij tion of normal babies of that age will be given the mother. The babies ^ will not be scored as this is not a contest with its consequent decision of the best baby. Just as many mothers and fathers were glad after medical inspection of the school children, to know what defects in their children needed correction now to save bad results later, so | parents will doubtless be quick to i ----- XT.: u M.? seize bins uypui cuxni>,y tu novj inspection nlade of the children under school age. While the doctor making i the examination gives no medical ad' vice ye* ne will make recommendation I in regard to simple diet, living conditions, etc. If any medical treatment is needed the physician will suggest that the family doctor be consulted, nUlinii?V> on/?Vi fyoo+rmDnf ie riftt (?nm. aiuil/u^a O UVJi vxvuvuivav ??wv vv.M , pulsory, of course. ' 1 No child suffering from, or lately ' exposed to, a contagious disease, will ,1 be eligible for the conference. To prevent crowding and unnecessarywaiting, it is thought bettef to examine the children by appointment. Any j mother, therefore, who desires to have a child examined should call up or write to the chairman of the enrolli ment committee who is near her or ? call Miss Lightsey in case there is not a conference arranged near.

Sligh was born May j 3, 1847, and departed this life Satj urday rAorning, April 16th at 8:30 o'clock, making his earthly pilgrimage 7? years, 11 months and 13 days. He had been in lingering health for sometime, but his death was a shock to his many friends, as Friday I morning he was taken suddenly and I oil n-oc that lovinar Uli Tl MM ; V*V. w w ? hands could do, the Great Physician would not let him stay longer. j While yet a young man he became a member of Tranquil Methodist, 4 church in Jalapa, in which town he I was born and reared, but some years j later he moved his membership to I Poni'e T.ntliorjin rVinrch near Po j kJ t* X ?*U1 junw**v*v... _ maria. . | In .1869 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Setzler, moving to Pomaria' in the same year," where he lived un-' til his death. He was preceded to the j grave by his 'Wife in 1912, her remains being laid to rest in St. John's cemetery. At the beginning of the Civil war| he was one of the first to hear the call to duty, tp which he responded willingly. Besides a host of friends he leaves ! to mourn"their loss-four daughters - { Another Soldier's Body For Home j j The remains of Private Bennie J.; Foljc arrived in Newberry via the Southern R.

He says Mag was the finest buggy horse in the country. Dr.1 To/>nKc waited on her and did all i IJJV/J U vuvww in his power for her but she died any-t way. May she rest in peace! Sam. Gilder, Aged 78 Years. Probably the most notable incident recorded in the long memory of the last of the minstrels is the writing of, the song that will forever thrill the [ people of the South. That is "Dixie." j And it was that incident which gave Gilder his chi'_f claim to renown. "I remember it as well as I ever j did," he said yesterday. "I was trav- j eline: with Uncle Dan Emmett when 1 | | I he wrote 'Dixie.' We were crossingI ! from Cairo, 111., to Paducah, Ky., ( when one of the rivermen said to | : Uncle Dan, Those green fields over j there are Dixie.' He was inspired by I j the sight?little wonder that he wrote ! f such a bit of music. j j "Three days later I was singing and | j dancing it, and there never was a! | minstrel show song that went bigger, j And there never will be a song that | will go as big again." j Mrs. Mason, who had just installed an electric cooking stove, asked her maid, Norah, what she thought of it. "To me, mum/' said Norah, "it seems like a great invintion. When you and Mr. Mason was away for over Sunday, mum, I burned it all the time, mum, and there seems to be jplinty of electricity still left!" I STEAMROLLER | MOVES IN SENATE I REPUBLICANS GRAB PLACES ON j COMMITTEES Democrats Protest in Vain at Tactics i Employed by Party in Power I ttr _ _ v j A " !1 1 O rpL - T"> L wasmngion, /vprirxo?me xvepuolican majority in the senate today put through its program of reorganization ! of committee, giving the Republicans ! an extra place on each of the 10 mai jor committees. By a straight party vote, 44 to 25, the Republicans changed the rules after several days of controversy with the Democrats, who charged that an unfair proportion of committee representation was being "grabbed" by the majority. Discussion of "steam roller" tactics entered today into the partisan squabhie. On the eve of a vote on the Re publican rule, Senator Brandegee, Republican, Connecticut, in charge of j the majority program, denied that the Democrats were being treated unfairly or had cause for complaint. "Criticisms are purely profession^ al," said Senator Brandegee. "The Republicans are responsible to the country for legislation and must have control of committeee. That's not tyranny; that's representative government?the rule of the majority. The steam roller is itbout to start." | Senator Reedj Democrat, Missouri, took sharp exception to the "steam roller" suggestion^ "Steam rollerisnji defiles the lips of a senator," safd Mf. Reed. "It means abuse of power, denial of rights." That the subject was "disgraceful" if meant seriously, was asserted Xv S/ajnatn* who said that he understood -Senator Brandegee's reference to . be humorous. Senator Brandegee responded that he meant "majority rule." Action of Republicans in amending the senate rules-to give the majority nine members and rthe minority six on each committee was denounced by Senator Reed as .an "intolerant and arbitrary exercise-of power." He de-j clared that eventually it would react upon the' "progressive Republicans." Washington, April 18.?In view of tHe general insistence of every Southerner in congress that he is first of all the friend of the farmer, it is regarded as a remarkable coincidence J aeeiVnmonf nf Democrats ! tild t 111 U1& UUOig V ? , to house committees today no man from the District of Columbia to Louisiana was made a member of the committee on agriculture. The great Southeast?Virginia, l^orth and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee?is without representation! on this committee, which seeks to conserve the basic industry of the South, if not the nation. There is some sat-1 isfaction, however, in the certainty t +i,of fwn SnntViernfnrs will be members' 1/1AC4 1/ WTI v of any conference committee which considers agricultural appropriations legislation, the two being Senator Smith of South Carolina and Repre-j sentative Byrnes of South Carolina, the latter a member of the most powerful of all house committees, that on appropriations.
