Searching parties went after the children but In spite of continuous rtmutlng and calling no trace was found of them and it is feared that the children have been smothered in whan the sovereigns left a hosplta after a visit to the wounded there. One 'poor .woman exclaimed: “i w'raid consent to be wounded for the klsecd-bjrthe queen.” There b great dlffipulty In ascer taining the sotual condition of affairs In that part of the stricken district nearest the volcano. The tram and railway traoks are deep under sand arid ashes, the roads are obliterated and even the fishermen who ply thMr calling'on the Bay of Naples are afraid to venture out on the water »nywhere in the vicinity of Vesuvius All these conditions make It diOlralt to give an Intelligent estimate of the lorn of property. * O is estimate is that 120,000,000 damage has been done and that 50,000 persons have been rendered homeless. Everywhere in Naples and Castel- lammare and in the lesser towns nearby out of the danger arae, are beggared refugee! who only a few days ago were prosperous end happy, though living almost underneath the shadow of the perpetual menace, the voloano of Mount Vesuvius. For these people, wtiose homes and crops have been destroyed, therd Is little consolation in the statt meat of scion tlsts that ultimately the valleys and hillsides will become as fertile as ever they were.

The at? ftitodes oHrthers, some of whom nere found kneeling In prayer, show they were killed by deadly fumes coming from the volcano. At Naples the theatres, cafes and plaoes of amusement throughout tbe city have been eluted and before all the sacred images in tbe streets can dies are kept, burning, while- smaller (mages are being carried ab: u\ in many cases being set down in the open air and surrounded by candles.

Ojta- Jano, where many lives were lost on Monday, (a now practically burled. It is now offijlally admitted that Ottajano has be?n buried. Tbe casualties there and in the surround lag villages is not known, but 300, it is be’tevad, would be a low estimate. Even Capri, a small Inland off the coast of Campania, 19 miles south of Naples,, a favorite resort for tnxrrtBts and artists, has b.en covered with ashes and has been abandoned by Its foreign population, wbiob Included several Americans. The magnitude of the disaster Is almost Indescribable Mount Vesuvius has spread desolation and terror over an Immense tract of country. The village of San Gennaro has been partially burled in sani and ashes and ^eferal houses have fallen. At that place three persons were kill ed and niore than 20 Injund. Some Idea of the difficulties en countered by authorities in obtaining accurate knowledge of the situation may be gained from tbe fact that Minister of Finanoe Salandra and Under Secretary of State Deiava were blockaded at Tori® he 11’ Annun- zlata by ash heaps and were compell ed to go to Oaatcllamm&re In an auto mobile, reaching that plsoe with great difflralty. They hoped to get a boat at Castell&mmare to take them from there to Naples, but even the fishermen refused to run tbe risk of crossing tbe bay of Naples as thev would have to pssi Mount Vesuvius, which is situated about half way be tween Castell&mmare and ^Naples. The train which brought Premier Sonnlna to Naples from Rome was considerably delayed by ashes. Tbe distress ameng tbe tens of thousands of,fugitives Is appalling. The government has forwarded sup plies of food and money, several of tbe Italian cities have done the same, and private oltis.ns are contributing money for tbe assistance of tbe suf ferers, but more help Is needed. King Victor Enmanuel has placed the royal p&laoe at Cappudlmontl. ve Naples at 1114 disposal of the injured refugees and early in the day announced hie intention of returning to Naples from Rome In or der to personally direct the relief work. Tne news caused much satis faction and when their majesties reached Naples they received a most enthusiastic greeting. Later tbe king 'and queen visited the sufferers In the hospital and were heartily cheered as they passed through tbe streets. A small boy betrg asked by his teacher to name the principal occupa tions of the United btates, answered; '‘Manufacturing and grafting.” That small boy was not far wrong. v- CANDIDATES MUST FILE STATE MENT OF CAMPAIGN EXPENSES. t nd Pledge Themselves Vet to Use Money car Whiskey to In- fUtenoe Voters.

Andrew Oarjegle, one of the world's greatest manufacturers, says to the south: “Ton have the greatest monopoly on earth, In the growing of cotton, and you hspre tbe world at your feet.” There is an estimate worth con sidering says the Atlanta Journal.

Some months ,igb Esther Marvin took a course of training as a nurse and when she bad passed her exam inaMons,,she was asked to look after Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Rhodes, of Hempstead, L I. r whom she had known 'from childhood. Both were offer seventy five yean old and very sick and feeble. ’ She nursed them night and day, and seldom-left their bouse. JShe expected only a smell reimbursement, but was dumbfound grew on every soil and was common to every nation under tbe sun. As Mr. OarnegleIntimated, though, there Is a gleam-of hope ahead for tbe south. He names one of the condi tions* here that promises to evolve for tbe south a full measure of reward from the natural monopoly which, ahefenjoys. - . “Even In my day you have become a great manufacturing center,” be says, “and this indrstry is leaping ahead with tremendous bounds. ” The south is beginning to manufac ture her own product in the rougher and less costly form, and therein lies the hppe that some day she will be ablet financially to manufacture It into U|e finer material of which the cotton staple Is capable, and. thereby come Into her -full reward. At pre- seot the mills of the north, and of England, France, Germany, Japan and other nations reap the profits from the manufacturing of the finer grades of cotton goods—profits which in comparison to those the scuth re ceives from the raw material and the rougher manufactures are simply en ormous. The flrei.qiiMUoiL.Ao wblcS the cotton growing statek^'muiC apply themselves, according 1g tbe best murdered wire 'trained In the road way and was badly charred before rescued from the fire.

Such a situation is'nothing short of a reflection upon tbe south’s business ability. Men like Andrew Carnegie come here amongst us and repeat time and after time that we have the “greatest monopoly on earth in the growing of cotton,” but each succjcdlng season finds the south marketing the crop just as though It have beep, .the benefiolasJWMrftesiren* erostty to tbe extent of more then 9200,000, was memorable in more ways .u ... than one Friday. Returning from authorities, la that ot marketing the tlie Tuskegee anniversary, be made a crop. The several states have learn ed the art of growing ootton. That is the monopoly of whloh Mr. Car- negie-flpeaks, because no other nati n and no other seotion of this nation knows this art or has the natural en vironment even If they should acquire tbe knowledge. Now thMe states must learn the business of marketing tbe crop so that a profit may b) gain ed commensurate with the time, toll and natural difficulty attendant upon the growing, together with the com parative rarity ot the staple. Until this lesson Is well grounded; until the aims of such organizations aatbe Southern Cotton Association are realized, the south cannot hope to enter upon the full measure of her reward in connection with her “mon opoly." In the- first place, she will not be flnanolaUy able to develop her manufacturing plants to their full capacity of turning out the finer pro duet of ootton goods. Though six Luodred millions of dollars are poured into thr south annually for her oot ton, still It Is not enough to enable the cotton producers to become cot ton manufacturers of tbe higher type; that Is, of tbe type which enjiys the greater profits from tbe Industry. Most of that enormous sum goes right back to the source whence It con es, and mainly for the purpose ot bringing back to the south the finished product manufactured from her own raw material. Should tbe ootton states ever reach tbe point where tbe cotton crop could be marketfed in a business-like man tares, publicly declared himself along ^ these lines, and well known men in the commercial world have said so be fore him. manufaoturlng enterprises advance in even a greater degree than Mr. Car negie describes as “leaping ahead with tremendous bounds.” ' Atf the situation now stands^ the ■ruth' offers magnificent opportunl ties for the investment of capital 1c cotton manufacturing enterprises of the higher type. Andrew Carnegie, ed when biy the terms of their wHl ©ne of the world’s greatest manufac- whlch was recently filed for probate, she received bonds and property worth nearly 970,000. Since then all sorts of propositions of means for Investing her fortune have been made to her from “staking” a mining scheme to promoting a company for the manu facture of balloons. Sbe has also re ceived scores of litters containing pro posals of marriage. Milled His Wile. Jesse Timmons killed bis wife near Keysville, Ga., in an unusually horri ble manner. It seems that they had separated. Timmons met his wife on tbe roadway in company with anoth er woman. He walked up to his wife in a friendly manner, and when al most within touching distance open ed fire with a revolver. Four bullets took effect and she wss killed Instant ly. Her clothing caught fire from the fl lines of tbe gun. Timmons forced his wife’s companion to accom pany him about a mile, preventing her giving the alarm until he had made bl> escape. The oar DM nf him Cotton R port. Secretary Hester’s analysis of the cotton movement for the seven months of the season from September 1 to Maroh 31, Inclusive, shows that, compared with tbe crop movement of last year, Texas, Including Indian Territory, has brought into sight this season In round figures 152 00C bales less; other Gulf states, which Include Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri and Oklahoma, have marketed 959,000 less, and the group of Atlantic states, which in clude North and South Oarollya^ Georgia, Florida.
