STORM_SWEPL THE WILD WAVES SING A DIRGE OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. Cifes Surrounded by Water-Terrible Condition in the Flood Sections. Property of all Kinds Damaged Beyond Estimate and Loss of Life Probable. Jackson, Miss, April 20?'Ihe Illinois Central managed to open traffic with New Orleans tonight over the Natchez branch of the Yazoo and Mississippi Yalley road, although trains are running with great caution on account of the treacherous condition of the track. The main line is still tied up below Magnolia by the high waters, and the officials do not expect to get traffic opened before the early part of next week. A bridge was washed out at Pearl river today. The situation in Jackson is rapidly growing worse, and a good size section of the southern porti< n of the city is submerged with the backwater from Pearl river. Sur nn (k.Aa Kc vatfip flDfl iUUUUCU uu IU1VV OIUWD MJ " W.VV* with the three small streams swollen beyond their banks, the city is at the same time confronted with a water famine. Leaf river has broken from its banks and is spreading out ever .the surrounding country, sweeping away fences and houses, inundating crops and drowning much live stock and poultry. Viewed from the wagon bridge at this point, Pearl liver is one vast lake stretching six or eight miles to the east and south. The Alabama and Vicksbnrg railroad bridge is tottering on its foundations tonight and will doubtless be swept away before morning. Advices from several States, from which a general idea of the flood is gained, indicate that the damage will reach into the millions, and the calamity falls especially hard on the farmers. Memphis, Tenn., April 20.?A special to the Commercial-Appeal from New Orleans says: The flood which commenced the early part of the week has already caused, at a conservative estimate, folly $2,000,000 loss in central and southern Mississippi to say nothing of the damage by the railroads. The extent of the losses have not yet been fully realized and it may be some days yet before an accurate total can be reached for mail communication has been totally cut off bat ween these localities which have suffered most and the outside world and telegraph lines suffered greatly so that the news is just now beginning to arrive by wire. In Inuhiana, too, the damage done by the unprecedented rains was general but in this State they are more inferential than positive. A special from Columbia, Miss, which was received late tonight fixed the loss in that little town and its immediate vicinity at $500,000. Many farm houses were carried away by the mad waters, the occupants barely escaping with their lives and the number of cattle drowned was great. A great maDy gins and mill houses were washed away and many sawmills saw their lumber piles melted away as if by magic. Nearly every bridge around Columbia was swept down stream. Pearl river is dow higher than it has been known for many years. Miles and miles of tbe New Orleans and Northeastern track are still uncfer water. HoDey island, tbe rendezvous of the noted train robber, Burch, is under twenty feet of water and the island, which has for years been one of the natural game preserve of the south is dow devoid of wild animals. Hundreds of deer were drowned and the hills near the bank9 of the Pearl \ * river are now the temporary abiding places of all manner of four footed life. The log boom9 in the neighborhood of Pearlington were all carried away and the los9 sustained in :nis direction alone amounts to thousands of dollars. Distressing news fiom Hickory, Miss., a small town on this road which is now completely surrounded by water and inundated in many localities. Hundreds cf hogs and cattle near this point were drowned and miles of fencing have been washed awav. The latest ad vices from tbe town of Enterprise state that the losses there have been great and much destitution prevails. Half a score of towns aie completely cut tff from the outside world as they have been since the eaily part cf the week. From Chunkey river swamps, near Enterprise, comes the Dews of a heavy loss of life. Tbe Iilinois Central road is crippled badly. Tbe Dew Orleans and North-eastern, and the Yazoo and Mississippi valley are as yet unable to move trains and the M. <fc 0. is also a heavy sufferer.

QERSTLE & CO., FOE SALE BY J. REUNION OF SPECIAL INTEREST, j The Palmetto Sharp Shooters and the Sixteenth Michigan Are to Meet at Louisville. The Louisville correspondent of the News and Courier, in writing of matters pertaining to the reunion of the Confederate Veterans next month, | gives the following relative to a special meeting between Federals and Confederates: While the Confederate Reunion committees are arranging for the lii Reunion of all Confederates who will come to Louisville in May, various individuals are arranging for minor reunions of special parlies. Several blue and grey reunions will be held, among which is one that is of especial interest to South Carolinians. It is the meeting of the Palmetto ShapBhooters and the 16th Michigan. These two regiments fought each other at Gaines's Mill, on June 27, 1862. The following letter from Col. James A. Hoyt, addressed to Major Thomas D. Osborne, chairman of the printing committee, is self-explanatory: <kGreenville, S C, April 4,1900. "Mr. Thomas D. Ooborne, Louisville, Ky. Dear Sir and Brother: I am planning for a special reunion of the Palmetto Sharpshooters and the 16th Michigan regiment, who fought with each other at Gaines's Mill on the 27th of June, 1862, and hope that quite a number of each regiment will be present. If feasible I wish to arrange a place of meeting on an evening that may be agreed upoD, when we can have the camp fires lighted again and both sides can be heard from in amity. Possibly we might want a banquet or | something to eat just as starting point for getting together. The assembly may be very small, not over a hundred in any event, I would suppose. I am in correspoedence with some officers of the Michigan regiment, and can let you know hereafter as to the prospect. I would j like to have you co operate in mak-1 the neccessary arrangements, which is a great deal to ask cf you. But I would presume upon "auld acquaintance!" 41I ought to say that the two regiments faced each ether at Gaines's Mill, apart from the other troops, and that the Palmetto Sharpshooters stacked arms in front of the 16ih Michigan at Appomattox, when they surrendered in 1865. Very truly yours, James A. Hoyt. Major Osborne will aitend to the matter for Col. Hoyt at this end, and he says he will do all he can to make the reunion of these two regimeDts pleasant for all who come. Major O.-borne is a member of the staff of the Courier-Journal, and he attends to the advertising part of the big affair that is to be "pulled off"' in j May-June. He says that the re- j union of the Palmetto Sharpshooters ; aod the 16th Michigan regiment will I be, perhaps, odc of the most notable | of th9 minor reunions that are to be I held. In almost every neighborhood there is some one whose life has been saved by Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, or who has been cured of chronic diarrhoea by the use of that medicine. Such persons make a point of telling of it whenever ODDortunitv offers. i I ' hoping that it may be the means of saving other lives. For sale by J. E. Kaufmann.

After a week of walking up and down he found himself penniless, and no work in sight. Then he went from bouse to house: "Ef you please, sub," he begaD, when his ring at the front door was answered, "Can't you give a po' cullud man work ter do, or somepin' ter eatf' And the polite answer invariably was, "No, Mister?very sorry, but have nothing for you." Every one who answered his ring addressed him as "Mr.," but shut their doors and hearts against them. Finally, he rang the bell at a brownstone front. A gentleman appeared and the old man begun: "Boss, I is starvin'. Can't you give me some vittles?" ' You darned, black, kioky-beaded rascal !" exclaimed th8 gentleman. "How dare you riDg the bell at my front door ? Go round the backyard way to the kitchen, and the cook will give you something?you black" But just there the old man fell cn his knees, exclaiming: "Thank de Lawd, I foun' my own white folks at las'!

Wherever The American Cottoo Company's Roundlap presses were operated last season higher prices prevailed for cottou whether baled round or square. In order to get cottoD, square bale buyers were obliged to pay mors than the market price, and more than cotton was selling for in neighboring towns where there was not a Roundlap plant. In some cases the premium paid by square box ginners in competition with Roundlap gins duiing the greater part of the season was as much as half a cent per pound above the price ruling at other old-style gins id tbe same county. JLhe inevitable result followed. Cotton (*Dd the owners' trade with it) was drawn for long distances to Itoundlap points to tbe profit of the entire community, and at the expense of towns that did not ei j iy the advantages of round bile competition. The effect of such object le.ssons has been a demand for lljundhp presses for Dext season which will tax the full capacity of The American C >tton Company's worts running day and night. JOHN R. TOLBERT DUMPED. Removed as Collector of ihe Port of i Charleston for Dumping Whisky. Washington, April 18 ?The President today sent the following Dominations to the Senate: Frank W. Hackett of New Hampshire, to be assistant secretary of the nav;; Itob< rt M. Wallace, collector cf customs at Charlestons, S C; First Lieut. S. D. Sturgiss, Sixth artillery, to be a captain. C Hector of Customs John It T-1bert cf Charleston, whom Mr. Wallace s icceeds, is removed on the recommendation of Secretary Gage to the President. This action is taken upon the recent, report of government agents in which it was shown to the satisfaction of the Secretary that Tolbert and other officials and emloyees of the Charleston customhouse secreted liquor in the building for illegal purposes. Wallace, it is said, will dis- j miss the deputy collector and at least one janitor and possibly others, who are alleged to have had a hand in the storing of the liquor. The clerks who are presumably innocent of wroDg doing will not be disturbed. Mr. Wallace is accredited to Sumter, S. C. SATISFACTI N IN CHARLESTON. Charleston, April 18 ?News of the removal by the President of John R. Tolbert, collector of the port of Charleston, caused little surprise here, April 1st a special agent of the treasury department, accompanied by several dispensary constables searched the custom house for contraband liquor. 20 empty 10-gallon casks were Jfound and evidences showed they had been dumped into the drain. The case against the collector was strong aod upon the report of the Fpecial agent Tolbert was removed and R. M. Wallace of Sumter nominated to the position. Tolbert has never been recognized except officially by the people here, being regarded as unfit in every way for any position of importance or dignity. His removal will be a distinct relief to Charleston. Wallace is a Confederate veteran and is well thought of here notwithstanding his strong Republican sentiments. Copper Colored Splotches.

I was afflicted with a terrible blood disease, which was iu spots at first, but afterwards t spread all over my body. These soon broke ou t i n to sores, and it is easy to imagine the suffering I endured. Before I became couviuced that the doc tors could do no good, I had spent a hundred dollars, which was really thrown away. I then tried various patent medicines, but they did not reach the disease. When I had finished my first bottle of S. S. S. I was greatly improved and was delighted with the result. The large red splotches on my chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entirely. I regained my lost weight, became stronger, and my appe'tite greatly improved.

A CYCLONE Wrecks Buildings at Ross" Quarry in Lexington. Columbia Evening Record, April 19. A small siz'd cyclone struck Ross' Quarry across the river in LexingtoD county yesterday afternoon. It did not completely destroy all the buildings and machi' er., but very little was left. It came up with the suddenness that such winds come and a heavy rain was falling. Big derricks were twisted about cs if they were small affairs and largf trees were torn up by the roots as if * Lot? ircro eonlinco. All smoke sf acks lu> J ? w %. r?o- - were twisted to pieces and blowD away and engine and tool houses were demolished. The most remarkable feature about the cyclone was the escape six men had from death in the office building. The men bad taken refuge in there from the rain. As the wind swooped | down it tore up by the roots a very lirge tree and burled it upon the building, smashing it into kindling wood. Not one of the six was hurt and it can only be accounted for by calling it a miracle. They were net even badly bruised though 'hey were struck by some of the falling iim bers. Tho bouse was a small affair and was lightly built. The extent of tbe damage the cyclone may have done elsewhere in the county before its fury was expended could not be learned. For fine gunpowder.

Some years ago Justice of the Peice Beasley, of Missouri, was personally interested in a lawsuit, beiug a party thereto. In was necessarj for him to make au affidavit, and he deprecated the idea of making it be fore another justice or notary and depriving himself of a fee. So he filled out an affidavit, swore to it before himself, signed it as justice and as witness and awaited developments. He was sure that he would win and thus be able to tax the costs up to the otherside. When the case came up before Judge Kelly, the affidavit was offered in evidence and promptly objected to, the reason being given that a justice could not swear himself. "Let me see the affidavit,'' said Kelly. It was handed up to the Judge, who scanned it carefully for a few moments and then asked: "Mr. Beasley, will you kindly tell me how you appeared before yourself when you swore yourself and identified your own signaturt ?"' "That was very easy, your honor," said Beasley. "I borrowed a IcGkiog glass and went through the formalities before it." Beasley was somewhat astonished when Judge Kelly sustained the objection. The Jew Turned the Joke. .On the j )urney from Vienna to St. Petersburg, Cumberland, the well know anti spiritualist and thought reader, entertained his fellow passengers by guessing their thoughts One of the travellers, a Polish Jew, who took the whole thing as a hoax, offered to pay Cumberland the sum of 50 rubles if he could divine his thoughts. Visibly amused, Cumberlard acceded to his request and said: "You are now going to the fair at Nijui-Novogorod, where you intend to purchase goods to the e: t nt cf 20,000 rubles, after which you will declare yourself a bankrupt and compound with your creditors for 3 per cent." On hearing the word*, the Jew gazed at the speaker with reverential awe. He then, without uttering a syllable, drew out of the leg of his boot, a shabby purse, and handed him 50 rubles. Whereupon the great magician triumphantly irquired?" "Then I have guessed your thoughts, eh?" "No," leplied the Jew; "but you have given me a btiiliant idea." naamm Reliable persona of a nivchnwral or inventiv c nun J desiring a trip to the Paris Exposition, with good salarv and expenses paid, should write The PATENT KECORD.
