NOT BITE THE TONGUE
P. A. puts new joy
into the sport of
smoking !
YOU may live to
be 110 and never
feel old enough to
vote, but it's cer
tain -sure you'll not
know the joy and
contentment of a
friendly old jimmy
pipe or a hand rolled
cigarette unless you get on talking-terms
with Prince Albert tobacco!
a
P. A. comes to you with a real reason for all the
goodness and satisfaction it offers. It is made by
a patented process that removes bite and porch!
You can smoke it long and hard without a come
back! Prince Albert has always been sold without
coupons or premiums. We prefer to give quality!
Prince Albert affords the keenest pipe and cigarette
enjoyment I And that flavor and fragrance and
i coolness is as good as that sounds. P. A. just
answers the universal demand for tobacco
without bite , parch or kick- back!
Introduction to Prince Albert isn't any harder
than to walk into the nearest place that sells
tobacco and ask for "a supply of P. A." You pay
out a little change, to be sure, but it's the cheer
fullest investment you ever madel

the ''primary <taus??.nf the floods which
readied their highest |?olnt shortly af

tilt ions were further aggravated when
the ilauis holding ba<:k the waters of
l4ik?- Osceola a' Henderson villi* and
Kanu^a Ijiko, hi Kanuga. were carried
away, the tides thus liberated sweep
ing down through thr French Mroad
Valley, through Henderson county, on
luist Aslievllle and into the adjoining
county of .Madison. Communication
with the latter section l.?\ either tele
phone or telegraph lias not yet been
established, hut it is feared that thr
entire town <>f Marshall has hecn wip
ed oft" the map.' ,
At 1 o'clock this afternoon fears
were entertained foi the hlg dam at
I^jikc Toxawa.v. the hursiiul; of which,
it is said, would send the waters sweep
ing through South Carolina and would
create conditions worse than those of
the Johnstown tlood.
Hundreds of children from the cot-J
ton mill section of the city, wlmse
homes were swept awa.V early this
iiinrulug, crowded the City Hall this
afternoon. Hastily formed relief com
mittees are making every arrange
ment for I lie sheltering and feed inn of
the city's homeless. i
The town of ltlltnio.rc, In |? | nut twen-,
t.v-flve years ago. hy the late (Jeorge
-Yaudcrhilt. is almost entirely under
water, ranging in depth from three to
five feet., and is completely cut otY
from the city of Aslievllle hy a raging
torrent of water, the Swanannoa.
wlilcll at some points is now a mile
wide. 1 1 was here the first loss of !|fe
fio far re|?orted was recorded. when
Oapt. I.ipe and two daughters were
drowned in an effort t?? esca|H* hy l>oat
from their home, which was swept
from its foundations hy the vapidly
rising water*. Three women, who
reached the tree tops from the second
f<s?r of their house across the road
from the i,i|H* home, were rescued tills
afternoon hy boatmen.
The property, losses of lumber and
iuuusirial plants throughout the sec
tion will reach an appalling total.
WcmhIm orking plants along t lie French
Bron 1 1 were washed away* thousands
of dollars* worth of lumber l?ei?g dash
ed MgaiiKt the abutments of concrete
and bridges which span the
French Mroad at this |*>iut.
The municipal ?as and electric light
plant- are half under water and the
City tonight Is without gas and elec

ebvtie motive power. including the
newspaper oftices of tile Aslievllle Citi

be in darkness tonight. Tomorrow

Karly thi~ ii?? ?I'liiiiir a two-story

At 1<> o'clock tonight it was report"
t-d that the big dam at Lake ToXaway
was still holding. No auttiontic re
port* have Iwn received as to t Vic ex
tent of the catastrophe in Henderson
\ille and Madison counties.
The city of Ashcvillc proper is jn no
danger from the flood, the waters bc

and railway sin-thuis of the city. Res
idents of this city, who have Ihhmi made
homeless, are being housed and fed

Thi^lotal damage to cotton mills,

This does not include Josses sustained

suffered much damage. The worst suf
