Charleston suffered the heaviest losses with about 150 deaths and property damage estimated at 5 million, plus telegraph and railroad disruption.

County Convention and Its Work
The county convention last Monday drew Carroll’s best citizens including many new faces. It avoided wire worker lobbying, saved candidates’ views before voting, and allowed voters to know what they were voting for. The nominees are clever and we believe they will be good faithful representatives.
