State Chairman Rurnqultt an ! nounced. Fire, Flood And Wind All Threaten Bestcity But Old Homo Town Emergen from Dangrr# I.iltle th< Worm- Except for Repairs to Electric Wiring and Temporary Inconveniences to People Threatened simultaneously for an Instant by Are. flood and hur ricane, Elisabeth City emerged last night from the most severe storm of the year -and what Is 1 believed to have been the highest > tide in 30 years.'. " " From shortly after 10 o'clock j In the morning to the late after- ' noon the city was without electric ; light or power, as a result : of tho havoc wrought by wind and water. Fire threatened as well, when an alarm was turned in from the Albemarle Pharmacy where a cross circuited wire be fore the current was turned off burned through the metal celling. Mo^e damage was done the Are truck Minnie Lee, however, than to the pharmacy, for in rushing to answer the alarm. In rounding the corner of Matthews and Road , streets the truck skidded on the wet pavement and went into the I curb, smashing the right fore wheel. Calm and placid an a lake of glass, the Pasquotank River last night reflectcu a starry sky and not even by the lightest ripple be trayed ft recollection of the raging spectacle that It had presented 12 hours earlier. Though water seeped through the floors of a number of atorea In the wholesale district along the water front shortly before noon Tuesday when the flood reached lta height, no appreciable damage seama to have been done goods in the stores or warehouses, and the most serious sufferers from the flood were those occupying homes or Stores In the mixed residence and business section stretching from Dog Corner to Frank New by's store on the Weeksvllte road. The floors of houses In this sec tion were flooded to a depth of several Inches, snd furniture was saved from damage only in In stances where It was possible to move it to the second floor. From the wind, the Elizabeth City Electric Light Company was the greatest sufTerer. Limbs were twisted froirf trees and strewn along the streets, csrrylng with them In many Instances a mate of twisted wires. They spat and sputtered viciously on the wet pavement until the current waa cut off all over the city, not only j leaving the stores without light but panlyxlnK all electrical puwer 1 driven Industries. Working stren uously from the time that the vio lence of the storm first began to abate until nightfall, the company sueceeded In restoring service In part of th&.biiiliiefla district by about 5 o'clock in the afternoon and In most of the buslnesa and realdence section by a little more than an hour later. Even the1 Elisabeth City Postofflce, howev er, was unable to give Its patrons any aervlce In the late af ternoon and closed the door until after 6 o'clock on account of lack of light and all over the city through the night the streets remained In abysmal darkneaa. Wait to the Electric Light Com-, pany, th* local Oas Company was the greatest sufferer, the wind tearing the roof off Its plant and ?whether he thought Governor All 8mlth would defeat Theodore Roosevelt. Jr., or Tlce versa. Mr. Hearst Raid: "Governor Smith has aome Democratic Impulse# and I have : no antipathy to him except aa h* stands for certain measures which i the big enterprises want, nut aa| for young Roosevelt. I doubt If he has any strength of his own In | New York state. Whatever | strength he has Is duo to hla father's name and I do not think this will he a controlling factor with the people." Mr. Hearst talked further on "radicalism." He laughingly com mented on the change In the pub lic mind on such things as the popular election of United States Senator, which he said was years ago regarded as a radical mess- * are. He thinks that liberals when entrusted with power do jot tear up government by the roots, as Is frequently predicted they will do, [but they ususlly when weighed down with responsibility proceed cautiously. I "I nm celled a radical." con cluded Mr. Hearst, "but I don't | think I sm. I am just a liberal; ,wlth a recognition of the fact that w? must have progress."

IUVER at RICHMOND CXttfWrUBft TO RISE Richmond, Oct. 1. ? Additional flood warnings were (sued to points along the James River east of Lynchburg and Columbia today, a SI feet maximum being reached at the latter place at midday be tween the two cities.
