A TERRIBLE STORM.
Iealli and Destruction in the Track
of a Cyclone.
Georgia was visited by a terrible
storm Friday night, which struck in
Meriwether county and swept across
the State to the sea going out on
the coast below Wilmington. The
killed in Georgia are- at Piedmont,
Miss Daisy Hawkins and a negro
man; at Odessa, six persons, names
unknown ; at Molena, Mrs. Felt,
and four negroes ; at Woodburg, a
white child and two negroes; at
Greenville, a negro woman. The
number of injured is very great, an
at this writing it is impossible to get
a complete list.
A telegram from Greenville, Ga..
to the Atlanta Constitution, gives
some idea of the severity of the
storm, as it devastated three-fourths
of that town. It says: The cyclone
was preceded by a brilliant electrical
display that aroused the rears of all.
In a few minutes the continuous
lightning flashes were succeeded by
an ominous roaring sound, and al
most instantly the storn swept over
the ill-fated town on its mission of
destruction. In ten seconds the ac
cumulations of years were swept to
the four winds of the earth.
Several people were caught under
the falling houses, but, strange to
say, there was only one death here
from the cyclone.
The residences of Messrs. T. A.
Atkinson, 0. W. McGehee, H. C.
Hall, N. T. Wright, Thomas H.
Caudle, l)rs. A. G. Floyd, R. F. Hall,
C. A. Floyd, W. T. Reville, R. L.
W'inslow, VV. A. Black and John
Fowler were completely wrecked.
The residences of Mrs. J. T.
Wimbish, II . W. Hill, the Winslow
house, Mrs. Gresham, the Baptist
church and the storehouses of T.
M. Kener, W. L. Pinkston, Mrs.
Freeman R. Spisey, C. A. Andrews
& Co., A. H. Freeman and Atkinson
Bros., were unroofed, and the gable
ends of some of them blown out.
The Presbyterian church, the Ma
sonic institute, the postoffice and
the two-story brick building of Hon.
H, W. Hill were torn bodily from
their foundations and demolished.
The Greenville Vindicator that
had stood the attacks of political
boycotts for twenty years, succum
bed t the mighty rush of the ele
ments. Its building was lifted by
the wind and mashed into a shape
less mass of ruins.
Many negro houses were blown
down. The news that has been re
ceived here indicates that the cyclone
entered the county at the southwest
corner, going diagonally across it,
carrying desolation and death in its
wake.
Many of the cyclone sufferers are
in a destitute condition, having been
rendered houseless and homeless by
the wind, witn not a vistage of cloth
ing, except the garments they had
on their backs. They are exposed
to the biting cold. Starvation stares
some of them in the face and unless
aid is given by our neighboring
towns and cities untold suffering
will result. In one county alone
over 200 families are left destitute.
Legislative Aotes.
The Legislature adjourned sine
die March 6th at 1 o'clock. In the
Senate the bill which had passed the
House directed at the American To
bacco Company and known as the
antitrust bill was indefinitely post
poned. The Senate and House could not
agree on a bill making it constitu
tional for the Railway Commission
to apply the penalties for violation
of the commission act of 1891, and
so it failed to become a law, though
it is of extreme importance.
Chairman Spruill, of the House
branch of the Railway Committee
in a stirring speech said the respon
sibility for the failure rested not
upon the House, but upon Senator
Means, of Cabarrus, and that upon
an attempt to enforce the penalties
the case would not fall to the ground.
The House adopted an anti-hoop-skirt
resolution requesting Senators
and Representatives in Congress to
use all their influence to secure the
enactment of a law forbidding its
use in the United States. No less
than 260 bills were ratified.
The Republicans in the House
eulogized Speaker Overman in the
highest terms.
Just after the Senate adjourned
Senator Sherrill, of Catawba, pre
sented to the Democrats of Johnston
county a handsome silken banner,
given six years ago by Senator
Vance to the banner Democratic
county and which had ever since
been held by Catawba, Senator
fou, of Johnston, accepted it, ex
pressing his pride that last Novem
ber his county had led the State in
the Democratic majority.
The Senator confirmed the follow
ing appointment made by Governor
Cterr: Augustus Leazar, Superinten
dent of State's Prison, and as direc
tors J. E. Green, F. S. Spruill, T.
B. Armstrong, A. B. Young, and
Frank Stronach. This is an entire
change of the penitenitiary manage
ment under the new act. All the
former officials are out of office.
One of the incidents of the clos
ing up of the labors of the General
Assembly was the presentation of a
beautiful gold pen by the pages of
the House to Mr. Julian, the popu
lar and clever doorkeeper. Mr.
Tayler of Halifax njade a neat pre
sentation sdeech, which was approp
riately responded to by Miv Ray.
Enrolling Clerk A. K. Smith of
the General Assembly was presented
with a handsome gold headed cane
by the assistant clerks as a token of
their esteem and of their apprecia
tion of the manner in which he has
officiated during the session. Mr.
T. M. Robertson of Randolph made
the presentation in well chosen and
adpropriate words.
mm
Pronounced Ilopeloss, Yet Saved.
From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd,
of Groton, S, D., we quote : "Was taken with a
bad cold, which settled on my Lungs, cough set
in and finally terminated in Consumption. Fou
doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a
short time. I gave myself up to my Saviour,
determined if I could not stay with my friends
on earth, I would meet my absent ones above.
My husband was advised to get Dr. King's New.
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
1 gave it a trial, took in all, eight bottles ; it has
cured me, and thank God I am now a well and
hearty woman." trial bottles free at J. G. Hall's
Drugstore, regular size, 50c, and $100.
Levi P. Morton is one of the most
popular members of the out-going
administration. Democrats and Re
publicans alike have a kind word to
say for him. At the time the Re
publican National Convention nomi
nated Whitela w Reid it was said that
Mr. Morton had been badly treaded.
He ..thought so himself, but he has
the consolation of having at least
escaped defeat at the polls. His re
ception to Mr. and Mrs. Adlai Steven
son last week is conceded to be one
of the most graceful official acts of
the kind known in Washington life.
An Old and Successful Practitioner.-Few
physicians ever practice so many years as Pond's
Extract has, nearly half a century ; still fewer
can attain the universal success in treatment
which that popular family remedy has, and
where the phpsician prescribes for individuals
Pond's Expect is naed by grateful million.
Another advantage of the remedy is that, thongh
made perfect by nearly fifty years of experience,
it still posses the vigor youth.
The Watertown, N. Y., Lincoln
league has started a fund for the
benefit of Major McKinly, on a basis
of one dollar subscriptions from
grateful republicans. Let every re
publican who believes in McKin
leyism chip in his dollar. It is not
fair that the entire burden of a
failing tinplate industry , should be
borne by the author of it. He pro
bably believed in it as much as any
one, and this subscription is direct
ly in the line of protection every
body pays and one man takes the
profit.
