O%, Tbailday afernoon last the Inost violent tornado, whirlwind, or something of the kind, passed over this unfortunate town, leaving des truction mnd desolation Is its train. The. dtLy had been an unusually mild and balmy one, scarcely a cloud float jng i the sky, until about four o'clock in the afternoon, when t dense black cloud was seen rising in the west. It rteadily and rapidly approached, overonsting the whole heavens with its itsidnight pall. The wind began to blow furiously, accompanied by vivid fl,.shes of lightening and deaf ening peals of thunder. Suddenly an awful, ominous roaring was heard in the West, and in a few moments the storn bad swept past scattering every. thing in its pitb, except the most sub. stantial buildings. So far as we have been able to learn the destructive fury of the blast was first experionoed at the plantation of Mrs. 11oden, five miles to the west of the town. Hero all the houses on the place were totally wrecked. The saw and griet mill of E'lijah D. Walker were the next buildings to feel its force. They were both level. ed to the ground. From this point its track is marked by scattered fences and uprooted trees till 'it struek the town on the hill near the old Male Academy. The firat houses in its course were the large flour mill, built of brick, formerly the pro perty of Major N. R. Rves, and the small brick building occupied by David Jones, colored. The former of these it damnged badly, and the latter it entirely demolished ; burying Jones and his wife in the ruins, but not in juring either of them seriously. Wi p. ing out orexi.tence three or four small houses belonging to Mossrs.Smith & Molton, and one belonging to Allen Farrar, colored, it passod on to the sub. sturtial aesidence of Mr. John U. Mo. Fadden. All of his out buildings, three in number, were demolished. The rosidenoa was too strong to yield to the storm ; though the chinineys were eartied away, and the house itself airained and partially uteroofud. Between tnis point and where it cross ed the railroad track, it des:royed two smLall huscs belonging to F. 1. MuNinch, one of A. N. MNmnoh, three of lon. S4uel MuAlily, two of William Qutelabau mu, and one belong. img to tio Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railro:td. Several of these hou8es W010 occupied at the time. t none of the occupants had any bone., broken. In some Cases they wore fam.teied in the ruins and had to be extricated. Tio first building en countered on crosting the railroad was the hlge steai will of W. R. Robert6on. The brick walls of the building suecessfully resisted the storm. It wa,, however, unroofed and all the wooden additions to the 'naln building entirely wrecked. The mil. )er, Huarrison Bailey, hearing the roar ing of the approaching storm, at. toempted to escape from the building. As soon as lie meached the ground lhe was eaught up by the w bi.rlwind, and carried to the distance of at least a hund red yards, where lie war lodged against nan elm tree. He hjs no re collectio,n, he says, of passing through the ar; remem~nbers nothing fromt tihe titme be jumiped out of the mill till ire found himsel'f at the t.ree. From this point the storm took Its courso along the back street extend ing from the railroad to the reidene of Major G. W. Melton. This street was built up almost entirely with amiall, one story houses, all of which, witm one or two exceptions, wont down before the- fury of the blast. 'The princip ad sufferers eon this street were Mr. WiHIIiamn Nicholson, estate of Johnm Killian, deceased, John Mo Cauthren, George McCora'ick, Miss Isabella McCaifferty, A. II. Davega, Mrs. IHaird, William Ross, Mrs. S. ]N. Albright, Dr. S. E. JBraitton, and Major James Piagain. Ott thme promai ses owned b~y each of these persons at least one house was enti-ely destroyed and' ini, several instances as maany as four. The next place in thie path of the destroyer was the handsomoeresi deuce and grounds of Major G. W. Molton, Intendant of the town. The house being large and substantially built was very slightly damaged. The chief ornament of the grounds Was the socient forest trees that sur r.onnded thme house. The great ma jority of these were either torn out bythea roota', or t wisted cit above the ground. Their loss is irreparable. TUhe Major estiamates his los~s at $5,. 000.

Four mifes east of Chester The out buildings on the plantatfop of Mrs. Polly Gooch were destroyed. Beyond this point we bear of no damage except the overturning of some fenoes and trees. Gentlowen of the high est veracity assure us that they find in their Golds, seven miles east of the town, planks measuring eight and ten feet long that wtro borne there on the wind. .On Friday afternoon a meetIng of the citiz.-ns of the town, presided over by Rev. L. U. Hinton, was held in the Court House, and measures taken to ato6lt the sufferers. We are glad to say that the committee charg. ed with the duty of collecting sub. soriptions are meeting with a willing and liberal response from those citisens who were so furtun.ate as to escape the track of the storm. In addition to the lots of their houes, the sufferera in many oases lost all tho contents of their homes,their clothing being wil1. ed away on the wings of the wind, and their furniture being smaihed by the falling timbers.

WIN.SBOROa Wednesday Morning, May 1. 1872. Dead Issues. In view of a probable combination of the Democratic and Liberal Re. publiean parties in the next Presiden tial election, the question very natur ally arises, upon what basis of com promise will the coalition be effeot ed, or will there be a necessity for any compromise whatever. Arguing from a liberal standpoint, we cannot see that a possible necessity for a compro mine could spring up, except in the school of the "Bourbons" or "Im praoticables," men who are still dis posed to fight over the battles of the late war, and run after shadows. We contend that what were the cardinal principles of Democracy ten years ago are dead issues now, and cannot In any way cnter Into a political con test. Even the question of the va lidity of the 14th and 15th amend ments, which was an issue in the eam. paign of 1868, is regarded as settled by the great majority of voters of the country, and although their constitu ti'tna1it.v may be a debatable subject, as it unAoubtedly is, to all intents and purposes they are parts of the constitution, and minut be recognized na such until decided otherwise. A Democratic President cannot abate their force, or retard their operation, and it, is vain and foolish for the Democratic party to fight against a principle that cannot be reached. The living issues of the day requi~re all the attention of D~emnorats, without turning to waste time over questions settled at leaset for the present. The rapid approach of the general govern ment to contralization anad doepotism is a far graver issue than any over which political battles have here tofore been fought, and ertainly de mands the conavbinatrion of all conser vative oitizens to arrest if. The De mocracy cannot afford to delay a mto meuit in seurching for arnd exhuming something already dead, but must take a progressive stand, and meet boldly the seguiremsents of ther times. To aobiove final success, it must be a party of progress,. not live ten years behind the age, but keep pace with it. In this wawy only will it accomplish its mais4ion, and fulfil its destiny. It', for a time, it becomes necessary to sacri floe the party name, what matters it, so long as it may advance the general interests of the party. It must work only in the- present,.and for the future. 'The past cannot be recalled, and the lesues of the past lie buried with it. Let themi remain there now. No good can result by oalling them~ back, and there is no wisdom in brooding over unattainable ideas. We ourselves do. not intend to waste our energie. in struggling with dead issues, but purpose launching out in the world of progress, and grapple with living, ' vital quos. tions.. Life is too short to employ its moments in followingL after ideals and phantoms, and while our strength lasts, we hope to use it in striving af ter practicable objects. P'opsauas' Evils. In our last issue we called atten Lion to one of the many rapidly grow ing evils that afflict soeisty at large, and endeavored to present it to. the public in a way that would make an~ imopreesion both solemn and lasting. To-day we propose to examine anoth er evil under which mankind is suffer ing so much, and expose it in all its hideonenuesa., -We refer to the nation. at evil, dronkenness, '.which is fast gaining groupd even in our owna copi. nauni'ty. and wh'ink is ei'diA 6ti signing 0a 14 an Ounrtinate to the lowest ept of ry and perdi. tion. The pdrOire '6( so great an abuse Is fearfal to cont"mplate, and no higher duty could be diabarged by philanthropists every where than to engage in an earnest effort to sup press what is even this very moment destro.ing human souls. Were we to attempt.to. give our- readers eyen an approxi(hato Idea of how much woe intemperance, in the. popular. sense aq applied to the use of spiritu ous liquors, has caused throu$hout the wide world, langoage woUld fGll Us, and the recital of the individual his. tories of drunkards would be disgust ing and repulsive, nevertheless the tale would go to many a fireside, fiiding in the home of the inel.riate a full vindioation of its truth. It would be proven, alas I too true. If tiue and space permitted, how many intances of wrecked happinest, and desolate homep, could wo cite, the sad work of the Boning bowl, and the de pravity of man. Families of wealth and position have been often in a few short mionths reduced to squalid pov. erty and beggary, and the lone widow and orphan children left to tell the mournful htory of the husband and father's fall, and remain to perpet uate the name of a drunkard. A miserable fate, indeed, and a bitterl heritage, but unalterable. We aisk our readers, in all candor, if we have not drawn a picture true to life, and one that they have been sometime or other, perhaps often, compelled to look upon. A glance at it may cause feelings of sorrow and remorse in the hear to of many of our neighbors. Let it be so. That it nisy have a benefcia'l and wholesome effect is our only object in painting it in such true colors. Young man, you, who are just en tering upon the threshhold of life, look around you, behold the awful ef fects of strong drink, and if you would fulfil your destiny as a nan, and live honorably and usefully, shun the deadly poison, and save your soul from its curse. ChIaageis. Six or seven years ago, our town began the slow vork of reouperation from the disasters encountered during the late civil war, and to.day we look upon the results of energy and enter prise where only a few years since stood charred bricks, and bapeles. ruins, tire mementoes left behind by Sherman's -'bummers." It is gratifying to krow that, net withbtanding adverse circurntmnees, odious taxatian, and an oppressive government, our citizens have suc ceeded in building up many waste places within our corporate limits, and we have good ground for indulg ing the hopa that, beforce nry more years roll around, every trace of war in our midst will be covered up with substantial n.arks of improvement, and ante-hellum prosperity retamn to us. As evidence eo progress in a mate rial way, we can state that no less than fifteen or twenty new store-hous es have been erected in town sInce May 1865, and there are efforts being made that will add, if suotcessful, at least a half dozen more to this num-* 1,er before the close of the pre-sent year. In addition, there are in ope:a tion a large tannery and ga ist maill, a carriage and wa~gon fastory, two ein manufactorics, wood,.,hops, black asmith-shops, and othor home etel p,rss that refk-ot great credit upon the originators, and upon the indus trious oharneter of' our community.
