-Savannah, Sept. 27. The plan
terson the Savannah river suffered
, heavy damage today from high
water and still further destruction
is apparent tonight- Five and
six days ago there were almost un
precedeuted rains up river, from
Augusta upward. The freshet
xras due to arrive in the rice sec-"
tion today. It came in time and
was met by an immense volume of
.. tide water piled up in the" river by;
the sixty mile northeast gale at
Tybee. As a consequence many of
the plantations are flooded and the
cut rice is ruined. The water is
still rising and the wi ld - blowing..
The weather officer reports the
West India storm is to grow strong-
er hero. Planters, therefore, look 4
for many of the dikes to go tonight
and tomorrow. The extent of the
damage cannot be approximated
tonight.'

Charlotte, N. C, Sept. 28. A
vey, Pgty affair occurred here to
night in front of the store of the
Tapp-Long Company, one of the
largest dry goods houses in the
city, in which a union painter
named Clayton wa slashed across
the back with a knife. The Tapp
Loug Company recently had a job
pi painting done and did not give
the job to a union pdinter, claim
ing that they could get the " work
done cheaper by another bidder.
To-night stickers appeared on
boards and other places here on
which were written the words:
"Unfair firm. Tapp-Long Com
pany work scab painters and sell
scab shoes. Keep away." Sev
eral of these were placed in front
of the Tapp-Long store. One of
the clerks saw a man putting a
sticker on the window, it seems,
and made a rush for him. A warm
8cufile followed in which a man
named Clayton, a union painter,
was cut across the back. Two
Union painters have been ' arrest
ed.' '". " ' .
Of course each side condemns
8troQgly What Jthe other has done.
Thia is the first clash between
union men and outsiders that has
occurred here !

ler enabled to hold faster to the
horns of the altar. Bad weather
iscoiring on, and the frosts and
snows of winter will soon bo here,
. and 0 1 how many shivering forms
may be seen kneeling beside the
fading embers, scantily 'clad, and
almost frozen for want! of fire-
wood and coal, and comfortable,
warm bedding. Perchance they
will hear the church bell ring
arid see the warmly clad tipoing
lightly to the sanctuary of wor
ship, but for tlie lack of suitable
clothing, and absolutely, the
necessaries of life, they arej kept
away. What a field for doing
good and serving the Master lies
all around us. Merely asking a
neighbor or friend to go to church
and hear the preacher, is not I
enough; this is good as far as it
goes; .but, a burning, zealous
Christianity, a desire to do good,
and save sinners, to alleviate hu
man suffering, to feed the hun-
Nf?ryi clothe tho naked, and visit
the sick, and 'minister to the
widow and the orphan, is5 more
nearly in tho direction of the
path our Savior trod, and better
calculated to teach sinners the
rway bf life, as well as to impress
: upon the minds of the ungodly
that tho life of a christian is not
merely a .life of profession, but
likewise a life of good works
. and good deeds.
If those who sit in
. could see more of the practical
teachings of Christ illustrated in
the lives of the "children of
light," and hear less public prot
estations of self righteousness,
the cause of Christianity would
be creatlv aided, and the hill of
! Zion made much easier to climb.

'rare sympathy, rarer penetration

cusses with brilliance and keen
