Taxupu iu the Wot to St, Au^um V i law on the Cowt, Cut off from the World, ujmI the Worst Ik Feared i for the Is Lund. At 4.-0 Tuesday morning The Associated Press wire from Jaeksottville to Tampa, the last single thread of communication with any point in the Hlorm swept territory south 04 the former place, was s? .ered. With the entire Florida peninsula south of a line from Tampa on the Gulf Const to St. Augustine on the Atlantic without communication of any kind to the outside world since six o'clock Monday night when a wind velocity varying from 70 to MO miles an hour was reported, accompanied by Ill-boding .barometric changes, the effect of the West Indian hurricane in this vasi trucking und fruit growing belt is a matter of conjecture. That the property damage has been heavy", however, is indicated by the few brief bulletins that came from the eost coast and the extreme southern keys before communication was finally cut off last night. Conservative estimates place the loss to the orange growers alone at pne million dollars. Trucking has suffered taea*ily, the Florida EaHt Coast railroad is believed to have sustained many thousands of dollars damage and the property damage along the 300 mile* of the Atlantic Coast south of Sr. Augustine probably will surpass that of any hurricane of recent years. The last message from Key West reported a wind velocity of 90 miles an hour, a barometer reading 28.80. hi^h seas and water rising to alarming depths in the streets. Shortiy after that message was sent the wireless apparatus, the last remaining means of communication failed. Last year a similar disturbance wrohght 12.000 000 in thin rivlrmiiu Sniitkinpn city ami resulted in a small loss of s life. 1 The last message from St. Angus- ' tine reported the waves rushing over ' the seawall, endangering property on 1 the water front while the marshes 1 for miles around were already inun- * dated. The wind was increasing and the barometer falling. Similar reports came frotn Fort Fierce and Tittnfiville before communication failed. * Many miles of the Florida Eaot Coast railroad were under water on Monday night, serious washouts had occurred, several barges eniplo>ed on the roads extension had been sunk and traffic over most of the line has been abandoned. For miles this jroad actually bridges vast stretches of tbo ocean with m issive concrete arches and although forewarned, fears are entered for the work tug crews employed on the lower extension. KAilroml traffic on all lines south of Jacksonville practically has been abandoned. The telegraph companies report practically all wires down south of Tampa and it may he several days before communication is reestablished with the storut swept territory. The last dispatch from Tampa, received shortly before daylight read: "South Florida faces a disaster unknown in 1-vtnnt lint u-liWOi i? feared will be as hail aw the mem or- 1 able freeze of 18P5. As yet Tampa has not felt the full force of this ed- r c dying destroyer. ' "In that territory which stretches v between Tampa anil Punta Gorda lie ( many small hamlets, where thousands of fertile acres on which lux- . uriant trees hear their golden offerings. and some of Florida's richest orange groves are exposed to the hur- f ricane. It Is here that the greatest damage will t?e done to property. . "It Is further on, ncross on the other side of this live hundred miles j of devastating atmospheric dfciturhance. that it is feared the human toll will t>e collected. "Reaching a velocity of between ^ fifty and sixty utiles an hour at an ( early hour this morning the storm ('. continued without abatement. Coming first in great gusts it finally settled into a steady blow which un roofed buildings, played plug-pong with street signs, upset closed cabs, 1 tangled telephone and electric wires 1 and stripped small craft in the bay w of their rigging. M "Not aiuce early Sunday afternoon ' ha? there been any communication with Punta Gorda and other smaller towns south of Tampa. Incoming trains from that section brought V news of high winds, interrupted tel- d egraphic service, damaged shipping a and damaged orange groves. Nolh- h in.g has been heard from interior i points. r "In every port along the Gulf seaP l>oard large and small craft nestle I ivonoath the protecting lee of some u B frugal sand key. So heavy has been fi p the eea that ocean going liners have d I refused to leave their berths and b only one boat has come into the port h It- in five days." |s! KEEP MONEY AT HOME UY RAIHIN<> THK MK AT NKEDKJD IN THIS SECTION. nu>usiiixN of Hollars Art' Sent West Karli Year for Meat Which Should He Made Hight llcre. The people of the South should keep at home the thousands of dollars which they are annually sending into the West for meat and tbe farmers of the South can bring about ihis much desire^ condition and can nt the same time realize handsome profits for themselves If thny will . ugage in the raising of hoys more extensively, declares Professor I>.tn r. Gray of the Alabama Polytechnic institute who has charge of the department of Animal Industry at Auburn and is also an Expert in Animal Husbandry in the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture, in "Farmers" Bulletin 111", entitled "Feeding Hogs in the South." ju.>l issued by the department. "Hogs can be raised as cheaply in the South as anywhere else and in many cases more cheaply, but hogs an not be raised profitably on corn llone," says Prof. Gray, and in the bulletin he gives in full detail the proper methods of feeding nogs in prder to realize a profit. Figures \re given showing the results obtained from the use of various feeds n experiiuen's conducted at differ>nt points in the South. The bulletin should prove of much value to iny Southern farmer and its eirculation will doubtless result in a greuty increased activity in hog raising. President W. \V. Finley, of the Souhern Railway Company, who is very much interested in having the South nise its food suppli??s at home wilt >e glad to have a copy of this hullein sent to any farmer in the South *ho will address a request to him it 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, Wasungton, I). C., or request may be made directly to the Department of Vgriculture. Before giving details of proper feed ng of hogs. Prof. Gray makes some ,-ery Interesting observations, showns; how the raising of more hogs in he South will prove a benefit to the vhole RPfllnn t!*? ? ?.v * o u^uica [bowing the consumption of home uised and western animals in Birmnghani, Ala., in 1907, proving that n that year alone more than a milion dollars wont out of Birmingham nto distant states and which should lave gone into the pockets of Southern farmers. Other reasons why Southern farmers should raise more logs are stated as follows: "I'ork can he made as cheaply, md perhaps more cheaply, in tnc South than in any other section ol he country. And there are many vasons why our Southern farmers ihould introduce this line of animal iroduction into the farming system. ")ne of these reasons is mentioned ihove, the money spent for moat by he Southern people would he kepi it home. Vnother Is the influence t would prohahlv have on the price >f cotton. It will never he possible 'or the South to control the price ot otton until the Southern farmer daces himself in such a position hat he ran hold the crop after it a prod need. So long as all tile farmers ire required to sell the entire crop of '.otton each fall, so long will i;s irice he in unreliable and unstaple me. The only way by which a farner can place himself in a position i here he will not have to sell all his otton each fall is to produce soniei II.I u.ufj 111 iiuumon id cotton; and tinluestiunahly one of the best supplements to the cotton crop would be he raisin.? of hoes. The hog busiiess can be so managed that the iwner can have money coming in rotii it at least twice a year, which could enable him to hold his colon as long as he pleases. "Furthermore, the hog is especally adapted to the farmer with mall capital, as but a small amount >f money is required with which to iegiu the business, and returns be;in to come in a few months after it s started. The sow is a rapid proucer. Money is turned over rapidy.

Corn fairs are being held in a number of counties of the state, and there are many farmers who have reported a yield of over 100 bushels on one acre and several who show more than 150. A conservative estimate of the amount of money to be offered in South Carolina this year for yields is ?30,000. There will he prizes at the corn exposition aggregating $10,000 in value. Tlu* different counties of the slate will give in ail about $10.000 for prizes to the members of the boys' clubs. Tile state corn contest c ?uimission will award large prizes. Th'-se prizes are being given by the s:ate and Federal governments, commercial bodies, business concerns and private individuals. The result of the increased activity in the culture of corn is that at leas* r.0,000.000 bushels of corn will be produced this year, which will be an increase of 13.000.000 bushels over the crop produced last year. The crop last >ear .was X.OOO.OOO bus.11 Is greater th;ln in 1H08. The increased production of turn in South Carolina means thai several million dollars will be su\?d to tlie farmers in the state and that the corn cribs of the West will lie moved nearer home. The climax of the Increased production of corn will be the South Atlantic States Corn exposition, w hich is to nc held in Columbia from December 5 to S. The ex post ion will l>o held for South Carolina, North Carolina and (Jeorgla. The president of the exposition is A. 1?. Hudson, of Newberry. INK OF IJMK ON Southern I tail way Issues Pamphlet on the Subject. A pamphlet containing information which should be of the greatest interest and practical benefit .0 the farmers of he South and which htay bo had for the asking, has just been Issued by the land and industrial department of tlie Southern railway. The pamphlet treats of "The Cue o. Dime on l-and." and tells of the great benefits to be derived in this way. Quotations are given from agricul iur.il authorities'and from bulU . rs issued by (he l:nited States d< pari ment of agriculture and various *tate doparments, telling on wait kind of land lime should lie used, for what crops it will bring the best results, and how it should '*e applied. Tor improving sour soils s uit as are found in many parts of the South, agricultural authorities agree that there Is nothing so beneficial as lime rime with the aid of leguminous plants it enables the sv's to draw from the atmosphere the nitrogen so necessary as plant food. The large deposits of lime in the various Southern States in.ike the use of lime for agricultural purposes inexpensive.

Miss Krnnia Norton, the 17-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Yancey .<ui i.viit living in me lower eml of Stewart ville township, about one* mile below John Station, died a snicide Tuesday morning. l>r. W. D. James, of the James Sanatorium, was called to see the girl and reached her side only a few moments before the ends. She was far beyond any help when he arrived, having taen strychnine several boors before he reached her. The cause of the sad event seems to have been disappointment in an affair of the heart. She ha 1 Suit her home on a runaway marriage trip to South Carolina with a young man whom she was engaged, and had got as far as Red Ranks wh?*n she was overtaken by her father, who seems to have opposed tlie match, and brought her back home. Afterwards she was discovered in the throes of death from a dose of strychnine which she had mlmims. tered to herself. Her father had the strychnine for the purpose of poisoning rats and troublesome dogs. It is said, and had it locked up. but the girlo succeeded In Retting to it in some way with the very latal result stated above. The young girl is said to have been a very fine looking in perfect health, and the only cause ascribed for her rash act is that stated above. SPAIN SINCE 1890 Politically Sfw?in possesses four Rn-at guiding forces: "Con^ervadores." "l.iberales." "Kepiiblicanos" and "Cariiatas." Of llie^-e only the Repubiuii.ua and the Oat-lists have a clear and definite programme, and it ni.i.v citu be said that only the latter have a n at watchword.
