We respectfully submit that
the citizens of the town should
show more interest in the re
sult of this primary than has
been so far manifested. As is
well known, those named at the
primary will be elected to the
various offices. The affairs of
the town are large and varied
and it is to the best interest of
the town that its best citizens
be named to fill all the posi
tions. It should not be forgot
ten that those who preside
over the business affairs
of the town of Lumberton have j
control of the public business
of over 3,000 people, and
about $2,000,000 worth of
property. Besides, the pres
ent indebtedness of the town is
more than $105,000, and it is
evident that business men who
will give their time and atten
tion to the work, and who can
manage the business affairs of
the town with economy, are
needed. It seems to us that the
debt of the town is now large
enough and that it should not
be increased. The taxes of the
town are high perhaps higher
tkan they should be.
We do not propose to suggest
names or choose between the
various candidates, but we do
urge the voters to attend the
primary and vote for those they

SWEPT BY CYCLONE.
Death and Destruction Wrought
In Three" Soutbeia States.
Atlanta, Ga , Dispatch, 24tb .
A wind of cyclonic proportions
swept over portions of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama late
today, leaving a trail of dead and
injured. Tonight the number of
killpri is estimated at close to a
hundred and the number of in
jured at over a hundred, with
many portions of the afflicted
districts to hear from.
Most of the dead are negroes,
erhaps a dozen white persons
were caught in falling buildings
and either fatally injured or so
seriously disabled as to require
medical attention.
In Louisiana it is estimated
that a score of small towns were
destroyed or partially wrecked
These include Amite City, Arca
dia, and Independence- Bel
Grove. Melton. Lorman, Pine
Ridge, Quilman Landing, Pair
childs Creek, Purvis and Lum
berton, Miss., are reported se
riously damaged by the storm.
In Alabama, Dora was the
chief sufferer. This town is also
kaown as Bergen. Four or
more persons were killed. Fifty
persons at the lowest estimate
were injured. At Bergen cars
were blown irom tne rauroa j
tracks and considerable other i
property destroyed. Reports
also say that the storm struck
Albertville, Ala., late today and
destroyed nearly the entire
northern portion of the town. A
cotton mill was blown down, the
storm ranging northward ,doing
much destruction to life and
property. An unconfirmed re
port from this section gives the
death listas from thirty to thirty
five with scores of persons in
jured. " i

Alabama and Georgia yesteraay
and last night. It left a patch of
death, deselation and want in its
wake, seriously interrupted com
munication between cities in the
South and brought about chaotic
conditions in many smaller
towns.
Mississippi bore the brunt of
the storm. Reports from that
State indicate that the loss of
life will be by far the gaeatest of
any section through which the
storm passed.
Estimates of those who lost
their lives as a result of tornadoes
in Mississippi places the death
list near 300, with a thousand or
more injured. In Texas, Lou
isiana, Alabama and Georgia the
death lists ae also large with
loss of life in Arkansas and Ten
nessee. Authentic information
is, in many instances, lacking
owing to the crippled facilities

of time to form anything like an
accurate estimate of the damage.
