'iWBOple.
- The" Intelligencer baa heretofore
urged upon our Board of Health and
City .;Cpnhcil -the importance of mora
rigid sanitary precautions than are being
?-observed in our city as a means of pre*
serving and improving the health of
Anderson, and we feel that it is a matter
of such general importance that it can?
not be too often brought before our peo
X .pie ibr their attention; So far, the health
Anderson has, we believe, been better
than , that of any town of its size in the
_ State, and it is with a view of retaining
this' distinction; that we. would have the
^.necessary sanitary precautions taken in
time. There have been some cases of Ty?
phoid fever here at intervals during the
past three or four years, but not more in
proportion to population than has existed
in any of our larger towns, and we have
*4$j|Ji free from many distressing epidem*
ics^Srhich have scourged some of our
neighbors; but in candor wo must, say
t_that we cannot attribute these blessings
of health-to the sanitary attention that
?as'been given our city. -There is too
much filth aloDg our streets and around
our houses,.and in time its effects are
sure to mjjyjhemselves known in im*
pure water1" and impure air, which will
effect Ike-health of our people. It will
Jfn^do to manage the sanitary affairs of
Anderson to-day?when she is a populous,
busy growing city that is
crowded with trade and alive with busi?
ness everywhere?like we did irhen the
place ' was a quiet little village in the
woods some twenty-five years ago.
People in the excitement and rush, of
business very often do not stop to think
about the sanitary condition of their
? premises or the streets until it is impress-,
ed on them by sickness. It had better be
one'before. We know that our city
officers would be quick to abate any nui?
sance that is brought to their attention,
bub this is not enough. They should
organize a rigid and frequent inspection
of the premises of the town, and seek
out the nuisances to abate them. Indi?
viduals will not report themselves, and J
^drjp^ot like to report their neighbors, so
that it will not do to wait for reports.
Keep the city clean, and thereby we will
not only maintain our reputation for
health, but we will improve it.
Genuine cases of yellow fever are re?
ported to exist in Biloxi, Mississippi,
aud neighboring cities are quarantining
the town. Fortunately frost is
fat hand.
-^Greenville will have no County fair
ear, but several days of horse-ra*
. The City of Anderson has never
offered greater advantages to tho trading
public than it does this fall in all of the
leading industries. Our merchants have
the largest and prettiest stocks of goods
ever brought to the city, and the facili?
ties for supplying groceries, hardware-, and
in fact everything that is needed in the
house or on the farm, has never been so
good in Anderson as it is this season,
Oar merchants not only have the best
and cheapest goods to sell, but they are
actually paying the highest living prices
for cotton and all kinds of farm produce.
The local business is conducted on such
a close b^.sis, our merchants pay Buch
high prices that foreign buyers do not
come here at all. Tbey cannot pay the
Anderson prices for cotton and make any
money, so they go to other towns and
cities where the local merchants do not
pay so mach. .Anderson has advantages
in railroad fHgbts now which she has
never enjoyed before, and our business
men, with their accustomed sagacity, are
making the most of it. Anderson is
moving steadily forward, and although
our people do not make a great deal of
noise over onr commercial advantages,
any person who will take the trouble to
compare Anderson with surrounding
markets, will Gad that their interest will
be subserved by trading here; This is
the place to come if you have anything
to sell, for you will surely get the highest
! price for it., and it is the place to come
if you want to buy dry goods, groceries,
hardware, drugs, clothing orVy kind of
farm supplies, for. you can get a better
assortment to select from than can be
found in surrounding towns, and when
you have made your .selection you can
purchase at * cheaper price than usually
prevails in inland markets.
The Knights of Labor are just-closing
a ten days' session pf their Convention to
legislate for the good, of tho order in
Richmond, Va., t?t which they have dis?
cussed many of the ?ubjectn connected,
with quest1,oas which are disturbing" the
relations between capital and labor. The
present sesvlou uf the Knights has not
been calculated to help the order at the.
South, for it has persistently advocated
in practice and in theory 8.?ci.il equality
among th>' race*.. there are many
?' advantages to labor from organisation,
bat there are also many dangers in it.
The trouble is that fanaticism': and
extreme,agitation are likely to result, and
when they do, then begins a war between
labor and capital which is lively to prove
injurious to both. Li our judgment, the
system of strikes which are practiced by
these organizations are unreasonable, and
should be prohibited by law. Of course
any man has the right to change his
place of- labor or stop work whenever his
contract expires, but he should not be:
allowed to make'other men stop*' work
who do cot wish to do so, and whose,
contracts have not expired. Tim is par?
ticularly true where they go so far ax-to
stop new m?in from coming in to contract
for the places they have quit. The whole
genius of ok country, is opposed to the
system which, would allow any man, or
set of men; fo interfere with tho contract
of any other man, or set of men; and the
Knights of Labor should be confined by
law within ibis-limit. As we have said,
we think the order has greatly weakened'
itself in thm South with the wh ite labor,
by attempting to champion race social
equality. This is one of those extremes
of fanaticism which we may look for,
and which are calculated to injure the
laboring men.
"""" ? /
It is said that Grand Working Master
Powderly, of the,Knights of Labor, con?
templates coming South for- the purpose
of organizing the negroes into lodges of
Knights of Labor. If this is done it
will mean a'vast amount of trouble for
the South, and many complications for
the organization of the Kuights of
Labor. The negroes are purely agricul?
tural laborers, and contract by the year,
and any organization the object of which
is to combine this labor under the direc?
tion of a one-man power or a committee
power, is likely to prove dangerous in
the extreme.. If the order will enforce
the performance of contracts, then we
would have no objection to as much uni?
formity of action in contracting as they
might please, but any interference with
agricultural contracts would be ruinous
in the extreme, both to labor itself and
to capital. Mr. Powderly, in his utter?
ances, has shown himself utterly igno?
rant of the situation at the South, and is
therefore, a most unfortunate selection
for making these organizations, if the
order wishes them formed. His style of
talk and the doctrines he inculcates are
full of mischief for the colored man.
New York city politics, as usual, is the
absorbing theme of interest in Gotham
just now. The labor candidate, Mr.
Henry George, is making a vigorous
canvass for Mayor, and is strengthened
by the endorsement of the wing of the
Democratic party known as the Irving
Hall Democracy. .The Republicans
have nominated Hon. Theodore Rosevelt
to lead their forlorn hope to defeat, while
.Tammany Hall, the strongest of the
Democratic factions in the city, has
nominated Hon. Abram S. Hewitt for
Mayor, and his nomination has-been en?
dorsed by the County Democracy. Mr.
Hewitt will also get a considerable vote
among the conservative Republicans.
This is the first year that a labor candi?
date has ever been run, and Mr. George's
candidacy introduces a new element into
politics, which it is not easy to estimate
in advance. Mr. Hewitt, however, is an
able, upright and popular man, whose
election is generally conceded be assured
by a hand so a. o majority. He will make
an able Mayor, and will cement the con?
flicting factions of the Democracy of
New York.
Senator Hampton spoke at Summer
yille on last Saturday, and in tbe course
of his speech took occasion to refer to
the earthquake sufferers as follows:
I came down not only to try and say a
word in the Seventh District for its nom
! inee, bat that I might be close to thoso
stricken cities which have been visited
with Buch terrific calamities. I was away
from my State, but 1 know that there
was not one Ran, not one woman, not
one child in South Carolina, or in
Charleston, at least, where I first saw the
.light, who did not know that there was
not a man on this soil who felt more
deeply that calamity than I did. [Ap?
plause.] I would be the basest ingrate
that ever disgraced humanity if I could
forget the place of my birth; if I could
forget those people who have been tbe
friends of my youth and manhood ; who
stood by us in 1876; who gave us mate?
rial aid, and, more than that, who to me
personally, when I was hovering between
life and death, sent daily messages of
sympathy and kindness and confidence
and love. [Applause.] May God forget
me if ever I forget the place that gave
me birth or the people amongst whom I
first drew my breath. [Applause and
cheering.] i foel for that old Queen
City-^that discrowned queeta. I teel
towards her as the poet said ';
feven in the extreme of ill
I love thete better still.
God grant that the richest mercies that
He can give to city and to the people
may be poured out upon her and that, in
time to come, every prosperity and every
happiness may be given to them and to
their posterity. [Applause.]
The State election come3 off on Tues?
day, the second day of November.

don't fail to vote.
Tbe Augusta Chronicle complains that
the name of Augusta is omitted from tbe
designation of the new railroad combina?
tion?the Port Royal & Western South
Carolina Railroad. This is nothing to
complain about. When the name of the
city of Anderson, which is a terminal
point, is left out, wayside stations like
Augusta should not complain that they
are not included.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 16,1886.
The Cabinet Ministers are all back at
their posts, and hard at work on their re?
ports to be submitted to Congress when it
meets again in December. At the Cabi?
net meeting held on Thursday all the
Ministers were present except Secretary
.Manning. The Secretary is on duty,
but saving himself all that is possible.
It is believed that he will remain at the
head of the department, unless he finds
bis health being injured by attention to
the duties of his office. He returned to
.the city at this time to personally super?
vise tbe preparation uf tbe annual finan?
cial report of tbe department, and will
see that nothing is contained in the re
.ports of any of the chiefs of his bureaux
that is not strictly in uarmony with his
financial views.
Although the Supreme Court of the
United States met on tbe second Monday
in October, as required by law, still
fewer cases were beard the first week
than for years before in the history of the
court. Immediately upon the opening
of tbe court, and after a large number of
lawyers of ability . from the different
States were admitted to practice, the
Chief Justice announced that in keeping
with the long . established custom the.
court would adjourn that its members
might pay their respects in a body to the
President of the United States, and tha(
the call of the docket would be proceed?
ed with the following day. After hearing
argument in -one ; case the court on
Wednesday adjourned until the follow?
ing Monday out of respect to the mem?
ory of Chief Justice Chase, whose re?
mains were to be removed Wednesday
afternoon from Washington to Ohio.
Several of the Justices attended as an
escort to the body.
Notwithstanding the widely circulated
stories that none of our shipbuilders
would bid /or the construction of the new
cruisers, representatives of all the prin?
cipal ; chipbnilders in the country have
been here tbe past week consulting with
Secretary Whitney, and getting points to
be used in submitting bids for the work.
The fight for the position of Surgeon
General of the Army still continues. It
Beem? that the President had determined
at last to appoint. Assistant Surgeon
General Perin to the office, but Chief
/Medical Purveyor Baxter turned up
again with the claim of seniority, which
has delayed the appointment until the
justness and legality of the claim can be
inquired into. It is believed, however,
that the question will be disposed of in a
few days, and that Perin will get the ap?
pointment.
.Among the President's .callers' this
w?ek was the Magician Herrmann, who
has been giving exhibitions of his magic
ar??r a week past in Washington. . The
magician performed several of his best
tricks during the short interview with the
President, and the latter, intimated that ,
he would be pleased to have tbe wizard
give ' a soiree some evening' during the
week at the White'House. The soiree
was given, and the. distinguished company^
present was highly entertained and let'
into some ot the secrets of the art. ?
. Now that Secretary Lamar has ap?
pointed the board of appeals in pension
cases, composed of six. members and
provided for by an act of tbe last Con
frees, meritorious pensioners will not be
ept long in waiting for action on their
claims. A great many meritorious
claims are refused by the Pension Office,
because of the. ignorance of the princi?
ples of law and rules of evidence by the
clerks who pass upon the claims. The
newly appointed board of appeals is
composed of men who are learned in the
law, and justice will now be done the
pensioner.
The action of tbe President in requir?
ing the son of Senator Harris and also
the son of Senator Pugh to resign has
caused much unfavorable comment
among politicians now at the Capital.
The peculiar ideas of the President, not
only about retaining Republicans in
office, but now in disfranchising compe?
tent men because they are the relatives
of Democrats prominent in national
politics, are not at all relished, and elicit
very severe criticism from most Demo?
crats that meet here from tbe State.
Senators Harris and Pugh have hereto?
fore given the President their most cor?
dial support in the Senate cbamber in
furthering his civil service policy, but
this winter may show a marked change
in their views and sense of duty concern?
ing tbe subject. H.
WIND AND WATER.
The Towns of Sabine Pass and Johnson's
Bayou Destroyed by Tornado and Tidal
Waves.
New Orleans, La., Oct. 16.?A dis?
patch to the Times-Democrat, dated John?
son Bayou, last evening, says:
The village of Johnson's Bayou is a
high ridge on the seacoast and the bayou
from which it takes its name runs through
the inhabitable portion of that ridge on
which also is situated the post office sta?
tion known as Radford. They are in
Cameron Parish, on the Louisiana shore,
6 miles east of Sabine Pass. The bayou
is 19 miles in length and varies from one
to four miles in width. The ridge faces
the gulf 12 feet above the sea level, and
in the rear is a dense and impenetrable
marsh. The population on last Tuesday
morning numbered 1,200 souls. To day
85 of that number are counted with the
dead. Forty-five of their bodies have
been recovered and consigned to graves
in the shell reefs, while the decomposing
corpses of the remaining forty lie fester?
ing in the marshes. Radford was very
thickly settled and populous. It boasted
its cotton gin and cotton and cane plan?
tations, It was tbe head of navigation,
and its stores were many?principally
those run by J. Paveto, who also opera?
ted the gin and turned out annually 800
bales of cotton produced in that section.
Cotton and sugar are the chief products
of tbe ridges, which are composed of the
richest ana most fertile grazing country,
and the parish had 8,000 bead of cattle
and horses, owned by the thriving com?
munity. Communication with the outer
world was through two steam vessels,
both owned In Johnston's Bayou and
Radford, while a fleet of trading vessels
plied the waters of the bayou.
At 4 o'clock Friday afternoon, a storm
descended upon the bayou, and the
waters rising with the wind swept through
the lower stories of the buildings driving
the affrightened people into tho attics
and upon the roofs. By 10 o'clock the
first ridge, twelve feet above the sea level,
was ten feet under water. House after
house fell iu or was swept away, either
burying tho doomed people in the debris
or hurling them into the hissing waters.
The cotton stores next succumbed, and
Radford and Johnson's Bayou were de?
stroyed as completely as if an invading
army had done the work. It was a night
of terror, described by the survivors as
appalling. The people could only cling
to each other and pray for mercy and for
tbe souls of those whose despairing
shrieks rang in their ears. For twelve
hours tbe storm raged over the devasta?
ted settlement and then came a lull.
Hope revived as the waters receded and
the storm passed away and the survivors
gathered on the elevated points viewing
the scene of desolation around them.
Houses that stood the action of the storm
were ^completely gutted. There was no
rood or dnhk, salt wftter having invaded
every thing. 'Then there began the search
for the dead, and those whose bodies lay
prisoned in the ruins of houses were
speedily recovered.
The people, save a few who have large
stock interests, say they have abandoned
the place forever. They are descendants
of a race of people who in the past made
Johnston's Bayou a vast orange grove.
The frost came and ruined them, and
then they turned to cotton and sugar and
stock, only to meet the fate of their fore?
fathers. Of 8,000 head of stock which
once the bayou boasted, 6,000 are
drowned, while the remainder will die of
thirst, as all the water is salt. There is
no estimating the loss, as there is no way
of ascertaining valuations, hence it is
sufficient to say that the towns arc de?
stroyed and abandoned.
New Orleans, October 16.?An ar?
rival from Sabine Pass brings the follow
, iDg ?
There is not one inhabited home in the
lace; not even the sign of a store or
uilding could be found, and not a dol
I lar's worth of goods, so far as w e could
learn, was saved by all the merchants
combined. Eveiy vestige of property is
gone. The schooner Silas lies out on the
land about four hundred yards from the
water, and is a total wreck. The iron tug
Fowler is beached near Muskete Point,
but will be saved. The Railway for six
or eight miles is a twisted mass of iron.
Our steamer found the remaining inhabi?
tants suffering for food and water, and
from the night's terrible exposure, and
the work of relieving them was at once
begun. Having supplied all who were
hungry and thirsty we set out for Beau?
mont with" ninety-tbree residents of
Sabine Pass aboard, mostly women and
children, and on the way across the bay
Mrs. Otto Brown and a number of others
were picked up. A boat was-sent out to
Johnston's Bayou, and returned to the
steamer in the afternoon with the most
distressing reports from that community,
hundreds of persons being drowned as
well as the fearful and complete destruc?
tion of property, including thousands of
head of live stock. Cameron Beach
Hotel was seriously threatened, but saved
by the cattle crowding into the lower
story, thereby preventing the building
from floating off with its upper stories
filled with terror stricken humanity.
Capt. Bailey, a bar pilot at Port Eads,
reports that there were twenty six lives
lost during the recent storm on the ba?
yous leading from the Gulf in the direc?
tion of and back of quarantine station.
The Emily P. hps just arrived at Beau?
mont with sixty two survivors. Thirty
seven bodies of persons who were drown?
ed at Johnson's Bayou have been recover?
ed and sixty-five are still missing.
To give some idea of the velocity of
the wind, a silver spoon was blown from
the residence of William Harris a dis?
tance of twelve miles.
Mr. Lo'ise Broussard lost $25,000 worth
of cattle. Some reports say .much more
than that. All the cattle not lost will
die, as nothing is left for them to subsist
upon, the salt water covering everything.
Mrs. Otto Brown floated twenty-five miles
on a feather bed. She had her child
with her, but it got benumbed and died
in convulsions. During its struggles it
knocked the mother into the water. The
waves pitched Mrs. Brown back on the
bed, and sbe was saved.
Capt. F. A.. Hyatt and William Guy
report.that they bad singular experiences
as members of the relief committee. On
their way to the Pass tbe train, on which
tbey were travelling, stopped on a dump
five miles from town. Water was all
around this neck of land, oo which was
placed tbe track, and was fully eight feet
deep. Tbe hands'of Messrs. Hyatt and
Guy were blistered from fighting snakes,
which literally covered the dump for a
distance of five miles. There were
thousands of water moccasons from tbe
overflowed district taking refuge on the
narrow Btretch of land, and every step
across they had to fight their way through
twisting serpents many of them deadly
and larger than a man's arras. Wild cats,
also, frenzied at the water's fury, rushed
pell-mell upon tbe pedestrians, while
coons and every variety of animals
snapped at tbe passers-by with bydropho-'
bic rage. Many times the pedestrians
left the land and swam around among
reptiles rather than try to pass them.
Capt. Hyatt alone killed over one hun?
dred i and fifty snakes during his walk of
five-miles, which consumed about ten
hours. Guy says no money could tempt
him to make the trip over again. In
stepping about in tbe dark he was tripped
up and thrown by snakes two inches in
diameter and fully five feet long.
? The Canadian Pacific Railroad
claims to have the highest bridge in tbe
world. It is 248 feet above the ground.
? The Boston Traveller prints a list of
the men and women in San Francisco
who are worth $1,000,000 or more.. The
entire number of millionaires thus given
is 104.
? There is said to be one blind person
to every 1,400 of the earth's inhabitants.
Tbe proportion is least in New Zealand,
where one person out of every, 3,550 is
sightless, and greatest in Cairo, Egypt,
where every twentieth person is blind.
This estimate does not include lovers, nor
that other numerous class who won't see.
? Prof. George Darwin, of Cambridge,
enys in his opinion there are no grounds
for supposing that an area of earthquakes
is beginning in tbe Southern States. He
thinks that it would be safer to speculate
in favr-r of immunity for the future on
the ground that experience shows that a
new line of cracking is not as likely as
an isolated settlement.

Produce Exchange received last week a
