If i An Account or the Expcrlcnco* of a f Family During the Xl?ht of All- f i tflisl 27th. f On the 27th of August I was 011 a visit of a * few weeks to :ny parents at Cuosaw, Heaulort v County. ! >. The house Ik a tour room build ~ me, with uhall running bet ween, with a room * buIn i>ti each fide, wllh a wide piazzn running n along the front ot the house from one wing 10 | K j. the other. Bunk of the house is a two-room V (. kitchen, Joined to the Iiouhc by a twelve foot j e j. gangway. Both the house aud kitchen are 1: ? about three feel from the ground. The house v l( is set back aboutuUO feet from the Coo?aw rlv- v er. a salt water stream about two-and-a hall a or three miles wliie, with a front yard well |K tllleii with choice llowers and shrubery, a back C .. in. s?mi> Iiu-va line irult trees, and at " c | the side of the Mouse a good 8 zed garden.js ' I Tiie house faces the south. j ? About 1 o'clock on Sunday, August 27th, It j a began raining, the wind blowing quite slifliy I o from the north-east. That continued all the e f afternoon and evening. We thought nothing o k of it as it is quite frequent on Ihe sea coast, b especially in the fall ol the year, to liave little E squalls. n At 8:80 o'clock I retired to nty room, which ft was the wing built on the east side of o the house, unending to go to rest for the a ulylit. 1 looked out of the window on the ft east side and saw that a large umbiella china It tree had been blowu down by the wind. I tl told the rest of the family, and afier they had d all looked outatttl sal down to read a little, 'i At 9 o'clock, knowing the tide would be full in little over an hour, and that it was the time tor a full moon harvest tide, I looked out A ,r to see how it was. I saw water all out in front b; moi the yard and went and told my father. He thought It must be rain water. I got my umK brelia and went to the front Kate to see. On attempting to open the gate I found two and a half inches of water on the side walk. In a little while It was in the yard. 1 went in and got ihe >ard stick and began measuring n every few minutes. By 9:45 It was six inches t at the front steps. By 10:15 It was nineteen " inches at the steps. 1 then found it in the 1 back yard to be about a foot deep. By that s time the hoard borders around the flower w beds were floating about, and also the plank st walk from the steps to the gale, There was some 800 cords of wood piled up In front of the in house, and that began floating away. 5 At about 10:4.1 we beard a great crash and fli could see that a large shed in the ship yard bad gone down. On the marine railway, tc nearly in front of the house, was a laige ni dredge and washer. At toe wnari, neariy in ui front of ihe house, were three wankers aud to ^ a dredge. We saw all of these beginning to rock up and dowu and float about. Pieces of M ? lumber began floating up against the front pi i lencewnd soon beatltdown. Ati0:45tbe nl t water whk twenty-tlve inches deep at the front - steps. We all suit], surely It will not rise any ri " more, for it Is now a hall hour afterthe tide 1 should turn, and at about that time for about a! . twenty minutes It was almost slack water, uutaoout 11 o'clock, the wind shifted to the ?>1 t east by south-east and began blowing a great ct I deal harder, and the tide soon began rising quite rapidly again. By 11:45 the water was W 1 up to the front piazza. We could see that all . the four large houses in the ship yard had CI gone, all the wood had gone, the fence had be all gone, and wecould see large, dark looking in objects floating up the river, which afterwards ' proved to be llie dredges and washers Irom St ' down the river. The waves began coming In p< ' and beating against the house. Large quan ' lines of lumber were floating up, and worse cl ' than all, we could see that the dredge and at wmmI) boat, which had been on the marine ui r railway, were comlug towards us. tl i The waves soon began beating In at the front lb I door so thai we had to close and lock it. at l We all then got together what valuables we al hud. fastened them around us, put the lamp it j out In the trout rooms,and ail wentto the back gi ? room so as to more ensily net out should the pi ii drrdtie uud wiibhcr slr.ku lliuhouoe. We then ei turned ouratteutlon to getting the trunks, A etc.. off of the floor on to the. beds out of the di ' water, which wat then, at 12.-o0, some six si h lnch? s on ihe floor. We could hear the water ei " rushing and gurgling under the bouse, and tti could hear the wave* beating against it, and bi i Hie whole house groaning und swaying like s a ship in a storm nt sea. dl y i went frequently and looked out of one of w the front windows, and by 12.45 the six posts b< 5 that supported the roof of the piazza had teen it beaten uway, and the whole Jfront piazza cl . was gone with the six chairs, two benches cl and a trunk mat were on It. In trout of ibe 1c house, neatlng against it, was a large rnor that di J bad come ofl' of one of the ship yard slicds. cl - ZNeXl 10 inm wan llli: ?u>u wmi, nuu new III of that wa?> the dredge, all pushing agaiust the Hi e house, and every lime a wave would come th<- fe J whole mass would recede bo me four or live m left and come ag .iusl tlie house with a cra-b, ct i but luklly lor up, the roOf prevented the H j dredge and washer lrom coming up to the 01 house, or else they would have crushed right hi . through the middle of the house and taken P ' everything with them. The wlud was then H due south. 0 a At about 1.30 the wind shitted back to the tt south-east, and the dredge and washer then hi elided on by the roof, the washer going be- tt ' yond the bouse and passing; but the dredge H coming in a little nearer struck the room tiu't w formed ihe west wing, which was my father's ei study, and contained, besides the furniture In gi It, over L',000 voftimes, most of them valuable di works. The di edge wa? carried on u big wave al a against the study, and the first lick stove In 1 the whole south side. It then receded some 11 seven or eight feet, and coming In again on p! the next wa\e went right through, carrying hi the whole room with it, furniture, hooks and ri 1 everything going with a crash that shook ft the whole house like au earthquake. It made ni r me feel right fnint and I turned away and ei went to the back room where my father, in X mother and sister were and told them what Ic g bad happened. Ic n At that time, about 2 o'clock the water was Ic from fifteen to eighteen inches all over the bi I bouse. The Iront door had been stove In, the k door In the n< x'h'lll likewise, waves beating w 'l against the trout of the hou-e clear up to the hi .. roof, and the waters rushing through the halls st . from the front to the back of the house with is almost the current of Niagara river. fr The wind had gotten up to u furious speed, tt T "r* li.orn^.1 of Iho rotu t\f fpn m fll ninety to one hundred miles an hour. The st y lurulture, etc., was floating nil about In the rooms, and outside whs large quantities of , lumber from the wharves, houses etc., beat* Ing and pounding against the house with the I waves, the house shaking and trembling like a leaf before the wind,and all together making a sound and a roar that was deafening. i We, feariug that the house would be beaten " off the pillars, floated back and dropped, and we all injured or killed in it, decided that the nest tiling to do was to go out of the back of 0 the houselnto the water and try to get to a O r nelehbor'b two-story house some 500 or 600 feet O back of us. I went out into the water and 18 e found it was up to ray arm-pits. I then went back into the house and reported and D ' we all lour started out. As my sister stepped bi out upon the gangway that connected the ci y kitchen with the house she went through, di .Some of the flooring had been washed up and n >. washed away. We got her out and she then Si Jumped down Into the water. There were no V Hteps?the steps were gone. She then took r? my father's hand and got him down. We then got our mother down. I then Jumped fl into the water and we all four clinging to- oi !S get her, started out to walk to the neighbor's It s. nouse. But as soon as we got from behind the h protecting shelter ol the houxe we found that it we could do nothing at all. The wind would blow;us awny; the waveB would beat us n down, and the under low would sweep us cl > under. Anyone orull of these things would tl huppen to us if we attempted logo any fur- g< >f ther. So we tnrned and made our way with b great difficulty to a large peach tree back of II the kitchen. it I left my father, mother and sister olinging to the tree while I made my way back into the tl house, anil getting the kitchen Key went back it and got into the kitchen and through to the 1J ir next room, opening the outside door of it. >r Jumped iuto the water. Going back and get- w s, ling my parents and sNter we all waded S around to that door?no steps there either? b D and managed somehow to all get up inlo the room.and from thence iuto thekichen where It we sal in almost perfect silence forthe next f> 1 hour aud a hall Willi our feet dangling iu the h water, which was near two feet deep, listen- n ini; to the raging of the elements outside II which were makluu a roar worse than a thou- o sand pieces of artillery. a a About four o'clock we could seethe water e rs was beginning to recede, and in fifteen mln- c utes it was all out ol the kitchen. I then p .. went Into Lhe house and not a lamp. My sis- t ter made a tire )n the stove, BDd alter sweep- t It j?g out the slush und mud the best we could, p weui into the house and got some chalrH and n Heated our parents by the fire. Before Q o'clock t Je nil tlie water bad gone buck into the river. ii We then went out to the front and look a b n view, clinging to the nearest thing at hand to keep the wind from blowing us over. The d ?B force of the wind was nothing to whut lt had e V been, but still with sufficient force to throw c !t<! u person down. And what a view met our 1 it gaze, nothing but wreck und desolation on every side, wiieie before had been heavy, sub- s Blaiillally built wharves were only a few piles j v ,y left; where had been a fine ship yard with] two marine railways and five or six shops|e was a dreary waste ; where had beeu piles of i nicely piled lumber, hundreds of cords of he wood, elevated tailroads and derricks for car- S U- ryliiK the phosphate rock to aud from the j a8 drying sheds?all was kou9. The drying sheds were nearly completely | c ts torn to pieces, aud the boiler houses, etc, t were wrecks. The U redoes, waxhers, lighters, | c :81 and tug boats were all, except one tug, the | c D* Cecillia, high and dry on land, und as far \ back to the inland as the eye could reach was js, nothing to be seen but fallen trees, parts of | f houses, aud wreckage of every description. ; I As we turned our eyes to the spot where we ' I ra stood, we saw that the study aud all iu it was > , corpnletely gone, tlie room next to it washed | I ' ?Iaoh Quun tlioimiiitlp tarn flu-nv. ItiM nip. 1 t,r UU> tlv?M, - - . (lure* toru fr<>tn tbe walls, the mulling ripped I ey j up from the floor, tjnd all washed away, and j | as we were only able to tiucj a very few things afterward, either far or near, we sUppogp most I ar 1 of the things must have been swept back Into | 1(j: the sea on the swift receding tide. i( j The front piazza gone, the roof spilt open at | I the gable, and the whole front part of the ! f !8S bouse leaning wuy farward, with many ol Hie ; | I pillars under the house i?otie, of all the fence | 1 nothing left but two posts; out of forty-eight | af, chickens all gone but two; out of uiueteen lrull tree* all down but four. All the doors In the front of the house had )een dashed open, some of them taken away, md nearly everythlng*in the rooms drenched vlth salt water. As we looked toward the church where my at lit r had been preaching every Sabbath for iver eight years, we saw that the tin roof was :one, the win-lows and doors smashed In, and ivery thing Inside ruined. A large threetory barn, built and used in ante-war times, vas ubout'.25J feel to the back of us. In that nuny of the negroes took refuge from their hantles, but about 2 o'clock, feeling It giving way, they all made a rush losret out, some ettlngon floating roofs, pieces of timber, <fcc., iere saved, but five got canghtand were kill d in I he falling l>arn. These live, with an old legro man blown out of his shanty, and two ?blte men drowned in the sinking dredge* ^ere all that were drowned at Coosaw out of , population of about 2ffl. Out of twenty-two white dwelling houses at !oosaw, three are complete wrecks, six more r less damaged, and the remainder only liehtly injured, mostly by the water and nid. The tide should have turned logo out 110:20.Sabbath night, at which time it had nly men about thirteen feet, but the sir-tig ast and south-east, wind kept it in til) 4 *? > o? hour it ClJCf immunjf IIII/I un>iii ?v ....... ad risen In Coosaw river about eighteen feet. !ut when 11 dill turn and begin logo out It fin out very rapdly, falling somenineor ten set In lews than two hours. Our house was 11 about the highest piece of land at Coosaw. nd the water was from live and a half to six ;et deep around It. At other plates In Coosaw , was from eight to nine feet. For the next iree days Coosaw looked like a large launry, with the whole place covered with wearignpparel, bed clothes.etc., out drying. A few days alter the storm the whole coun y around looked as In the middle of winter. II vegetation, trees, etc., having been killed y the salt water. W. H. M. LAYMAN'S SERMON, r?

He Is one among our best young ; ed. j A cyclone was reported to pass over us last iturday night, but we are glad tobedlsap- | )lnted, as It did not come. Alter hearing a sermon In one of our lurches a week ago, a few thoughts arise, id 1 wish them to come out through the col- , inns of the Press and Banner, and th it Is ie dlsclplesblp to whiskey. This Is a subject ] lat our country Is more or less Interested In, ( id I feel that there cannot be too much said . >out it. If by some geuerous flat of the cup- f allstsof this country, or by a new law of the jvernment of the United .States twenty-five | jr cent., yes one hundred per cent, wen- add- , I to the wages of the working classes of merlca, it would be no advantage to hun- , reds, yes, thousands of them, unless they f opped strong drink. Until they quit that Ml habit the more money, the more ruin, , ie more wages, the bigger the holes In the j igs. My plea is to the working people, who are | isclptes to the bottle, the beer tuug, and the ine dusk, and what I say to them will not ( s more appropriate to the working classes | tan to the business classes and tbe literary j asses and the professional classes, and all asses and all ages. Take one good square , ok at the suffering of the man whom strong , rink has enthralled, and remember the dls pie of alcoholism suffers the loss of self re- j >ect. Just as soon as a man wakes up and uds that he Is the captive of strong dfluk he | ?is bemeaned. I don't care bow reckless he iay act. He may say, I don't care, tie does , ire. He cannot look a pure man In the eye. , e knows that his course is bringing ruin up- , 3 himself and family. He loves them. If e could stop now he would. He canoot. ; erhaps he could six months or a year ago. ! e has gone too long. He does not try now. h, it Is a sad thing for a man to wake up in , lis life and feel that be is a captive. I might ave lived au honorable life and died a Chris- , an death, but there Is no hope for me now. , e is dead, but not burled. Ood only knows J bat the drunkard suffers. Pain flies on ev- | y nerve, and travels every muscle, and , laws every bone, and burns with every time,and slings with every poison,aud pulls , I him with every torture. What reptiles crawl over his or. eping ] mbs! What fiends stand by his midnight f lllow ! W hat groans tear his ear! What | orrorsshiver through his soul! Talk of the j ick. Talk of the inquisition. Talk of the ineral pyre. Talk of the crushing juggerr??%? l-Ia foolo ihom all of. nnno Hfti'A Vnil /er heeu lu a hospital aDd beard the Huiferig there? Bat still strong drink leads to the ins ol homes. If lie could not get whiskey i any other way he would sell his family lu- i i eternal bondage. How many homes have I ien broken up in that way. No one but Ood nows. Do not tell me man can live happy < hen he knows he Is breaking his wiles < eart, and clothes his children In rags, but 111 this subject takes a deeper tone, and that , the unfotiunate of whom I speak sutlers om the loss of the soul. Oh, look not upon le wine when It Is red, when It movetb Itself ight In the cup, for at last It biteth like a Tpeut aud stlugetb like an adder. Nick. TEACHERS IN COUNCIL, 1 [liinte* of Proceeding** of the Abbeville Teacher*' AnsocIuIIoii. The Teachers' Association of Abbeville ouuty convened In the chapel of Erskine allege, Due West, S. C., at 10 A. M., Aug. 81, I 9:{, President J. C. Cork In the Chair. The exercises were opened with prayer by r. Lai Dan, followed with vocal music most ?autlfuilv rendered by the L?ue West Alusiit Club. The opening address by the Preslsnt was brimful of good suggestions and ear est exhortation to the teacnersoi tne county. In the absence of the secretary, T. P. bright was appointed temporarily, and the 'gular programme entered upon. Mr. w. Z. McGhee of Greenwood, S. C., the rston the programme, gave an able address n the subject, "Why am I a Teacher?" and > answering the question showed that he ad gotten hold of the true purpose of teachfce subject was thoroughly dlocused by a umber of the teaobers present, and It was learly shown that, while the money side of le questlou cannot be Ignored, still moneyettlng Is not the sole object of the teaoher, ultodo good as only those tilling the poslon of teachers have an opportunity of doig. At the close of this discussion the Assocla;on adjoflrned for dinner. At 3 p. m. the meeting was again rapped to order by the resident, and the regular exercises resumed. The first on the program for the afternoon ras a paper by Mr, T. F. Wright, of Ninetylx,S. 0. .Subject: "The Need of School Llrarles." After the discussion of this paper by both idles and gentlemen, the Association was ivored with an address by Mr. Arthur Klbsr, of Newberry, S. C., on "School Governjent." He said, "among the many diflciences oj ur common schools probably the greatest Is lack of enthusiasm on the unrt of the teachr. The main requisites ana the keynote to on trolling the school are hard study, thorough reparation aud complete self control in the eacher." Among other things he suggested hat the teacher should never promise a pull any future punishment; that he should ever doauythlng that will cause the pupil it lose selr-respect; never appear dictatorial n his manner and have qs few rules as possile. but en'orce rigidly all Hint he may have.
