Clouds of dust floated over this sec tion Monday night and Tuesday, but as far as it could be learned, no great damage resulted. Reporting more than 275 persons killed, Alabama bore the brunt of the storm that blew down homes over wide areas. Thirty-three were killed in Georgia, 16 in Tennessee, 2 in Kentucky, and 2 in South Carolina. The twisting winds struck first near Marion, then at Northport, both in the west central portion of Alabama. Twenty-eight were killed at North port and scores were injured. At Mar ion 18 were killed. The storrp then appeared at Detnopolis, Faunsdale, and Inden, all in the same area. It -struck next in the central portion, sweeping over the towns of Lemax, Columbiana, Thorsby, and other com munities. ft At the same time a tornado dipped down on a half dozen communities in Tennessee. Five members of one fam ily were killed near Pulaski when they were buried beneath the wreckage of their home. Five others lost their lives near Conasauga. Another man who was picked up and blown from sight by the wind has not been locat ed and is believed dead. Other scat tered casualties were reported, and at Cleveland the storm snatched an in fant from its mother's arms, dropping it into a well where it drowned. Striking in the northeastern and northwestern sections of Georgia, a , tornado took more than a score of lives near Dalton, Cartersville, Athens and Rome. Single' casualties attrib utable to the storm were reported at Decatur, Atlanta, and Milledgeville, Ga. A path a quarter of a mile long was left in Whitefield and Murray Coun ties in north Georgia, and churches, homes, and barns were wrecked. Am bulances at Dalton, Ga., in the vicinity of which 5 persons were killed, chug ged over storm-littered roads, search ing the near-by rural communities for deaS and taking medical attention to the injured. . At Dalton, an unidentified white man was blown to the top of a tree, the wind blowing a piece of wood through one of his arms. He hung suspend ed until daylight, when he was res cued and taken to a hospital believed fatally injured. One man was killed near Spartan -4' burg, S. C., and at Gaffney, *S. C., a negro woman lost' her life in the col lapse of her dwelling. Rescue workers pressed into wreck ed cotpmunities and homes throughout the tornado-ravished areas, working tirelessly in aiding the hundreds of in jured, and in providing shelter (for those left without homes. * The Red Cross was organizing in Alabama for quick relief of the injured, and Gov. B. M. Milter appealed for contributions for the storm sufferers in a formal proclamation to the peo ple of his state. Saying "there will be great suffering unless they are aided properly, Gov ernor Miller's proclamation called on people of the state to contribute relief funds for distribution through the Red Crow. • ' Cotton Production In County Off 12 Per Cent A few over 3,000 bales of xotton were ginned in Martin County from the 1931 crop, it was announced this week by the bureau of the census, the number being 417 bales under the 1930 productioh.

I Jurist Not In Favor Repeal Of Any Liquor Laws Now On Books ' •* I The eighteenth amendment is re sponsible for an increase Jn lawless ness and an increase in disrespect for [law, Judge J. Paul Frizzelle told 28 local Kiwanians at their regular lunch eon held in the Woman's Club Hall I here last Wednesday. "But," the judge declared, "I am not in favor of the re peal or alteration of any of the liquor laws now on the books." And he challenged others to live up to the laws as Ipng as they are on the Statute books. Citing many of his statements made before the grand jury here last Mon day in the superior court, the jurist challenged the- small group of civic 1 ( leaders to go out and mingle with youth and aid the unfortunates. "It jis your! duty to eradicate perverted j views of life entertained by youths a bout you. ''Give them stimulating thoughts; furnish the young with worth-while ideas," tlje speaker plead ed with his group of listeners. . j The spendthrift standard of living [.experienced a few years ago has van i ished for many of us, the judge de clared in so many words. In an effort . to maintain that standard, responsi . ble youths from good families have . stooped to robbery and even killing, . the judge citing one case where two youths, members of prominent Bur i lington families, robbed a hosiery mill. . "They found it necessary to work, but : they were unwilling to and they de cided to steal, rob, and even kill, if , necessary, that they might enjoy the , pleasures of life," lie said. Continuing, he said, "We live in a day when it isn't sufficient to see our , own household disciplined; we owe a [ duty to society and the unfortunates. , We must take time to inculcate into i our youths' thoughts real thrift, econ , omy, sacrifices, and self-reliance. We must rededicate our lives to the vir tues of men and women of a genera tion ago." The judge, hesitating a while, said, "It looks as if the complete down fall of our civilization will have to tumble before we will recover." " With warm- praise, the jurist re ferred to the work of Kiwanis as a valuable one, spurring local members on to greater activities. His talk was well received and greatly enjoyed. The meeting Wednesday was one of note with the organization. Six new members'; Messrs. V. D, Godwin, J. C. Anderson, D. R. Davis, ( . C). Moore, Iverson Skinner, and Garland Barnhill, were received into the local group, and a committee was named to talk with members who have not been attending regularly. I The sentence jmposed upon Mem i ber Norman Harrison during Ladies' Night at the club recently is being complied with fairly well, it was re ported. • : Near Train-Truck Wreck Reported Here Yesterday ' » --- A large Ford truck, owned by A.
