? Secretary Carlisle has ordered that the
United States mints at Philadelphia and
~6an Francisco be fully manned and the
foil capacity of both mints be utilized in
coining gold bullion. The Treasury
department possess from ?85,000,000 to
$90,(X)0,000 of gold bullion, which is a part
of the gold reserve of 8100,000,000. Gold
bars oaunot be used as currency, ho it has
been decided , in the present need, to coin
the bullion on hand. This bullion will
be coined into $10, 85 and ?2,50 gold
"pieces, preference being given to the first
two^denominations.
The Neuland Courier published its
usual, annual review of the business of
jCharaGfiton in its Monday's issue. The
facts show a falling off of a little more
?than eight million dollars from the year
before, but the record for the fiscal year
just ended is flattering. The total value
of the city's trade during the year was
ovsrseventy-fivo million dollars, show?
ing that Charleston held up remarkably
well under a year that brought many
adverse conditions for doing business.
There was an. encouraging increase in
manufactures and phosphates and the
fruit and vegetable business. The News
and Courier expended a great deal of la?
bor and money in preparing and putting
before the public the - review, and
Charlestonians should show their appre?
ciation of the enterprise in a substantial
\way- That paper deserves their united
apport. Not knowing what it is to be
lout an enterprising and intelligent
to push and encourage the growth
prosperity of a community, but few
i that have such a paper can fully
appreciate , the value of such an agent,
and never will, until they should be so
unfortunate as to be deprived of it at
some time. The News and Courier is a
powerful factor in Charleston's make-up.
The expedient already adopted by some
Southern banks and contemplated by
others for meeting the demand for a
largor volume of currency has received
a rather severe set-back from the Com?
missioner of Internal Revenue. That
officer has notified Collectors of Revenue
that he was informed that "banks are
issuing certificates of deposit payable in
the money or currency of the United
States, and that these obligations of the
Ibanks, negotiable notes, carrying title in
their circulation from hand to hand, are
paid out and used for circulation in lieu
of the money of the United States." He
then instructed the Collectors to report
the amount of such issues to headquar?
ters that they may be assessed for taxes.
The taxable rates of such issues described
above are ten per cent, or nearly ten
times as much as our County and State
tax rates. Of course no bank or associa?
tion of men are willing to subject their
property to so heavy a tax, nor to take
Chances in the matter. Where the issue
has already been made there may be no
way to avoid the payment at the high
taxable rates. Such banks as have not
issued will not do so now, we suppose,
until they are officially informed that
their issue will not be taxed. There is
some doubt as to whether clearing house
certificates fall under the description
given in the Commissioner's letter, and
hence they may not be liable for the spe?
cial taxes. The situation is a little em?
barrassing, but is relieved by the fact
that the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman Act; has largely restored
confidence throughout the country, and
there may be no need of makeshifts to
supply a currency.
A PRIVATE CITIZJSN DISCUSSES A PIL. ?
UO QUESTION.
We take pleasure in asking the atten?
tion of our readers to the article on our
first page from the pen of J. L. Tribble,
mi
\ The author is in no sense a politician,
and hence discusses the question from
the standpoint of the private citizen.
For that reason there is an additional in?
terest lent to the article, and the publio
will appreciate the essay, not only for the
ability with which it is presented, but
also because there is an absence of the
characteristic gloss and rant and am?
biguity and ignoraoce pervading the ar?
ticles and speeches ofipoliticians and oth?
ers who have set themselves up as po?
litical teachers and leaders of the people.
The article bears on its face evidence of
research and closie investigation and
thought, and is valuable not only for its
historical data but for the facts presented
from the knowledge, observation and
experience of ths author.
The discussion is timely and comes
from a source that will immediately
the attention of the public, We
to be able to lay before our read
tide from Mr, Tribble. I
OUR UUP TO THE WORLD'S FAIR.
The grander and most enjoyable trip
we havo ever experienced, ended last
week -when wo returned home from the
great World's Fair, and we know the
readers of the Iictelliqerceb will ex?
pect as to tell of some of the sights we
saw there. But that is easier said than
done, for we hardly know where to begin
nor will we know where to end. It is
simply impossible to do such a thing in a
newspaper article, and we will not
attempt it. We will, therefore, speak of
our trip only in a general, disconnected
way, and rely on the official guidebook
(which is sold on the Fairgrounds at a
nominal price) for many of our state?
ments, for we found no time to make a
note of anything that came under our
vision.
Leaving home on the afternoon of the
16th ult., we went to Spartanburg and
next day joined our brethren of the State
Press Association. Leaving there at 3 p.
m. we started for the "land of the skies."
Owing to some misunderstanding be?
tween the railroad authorities, we did
not board our Pullman cars until we
reached Faint Rook at 10 p. cr>., after hav?
ing spent two hours at Asheville. Next
morning we awoke in Knoxville, and,
having missed connection there, we were
delayed Ub ere about eight hours, which
we spent very pleasantly in viewing the
sights of that city. Leaving there at
noon we proceeded to Harriman, Tenn.,
where our three Pullman cere and a bag?
gage car were made into a special vesti
bnled train, which carried us through at a
very rapid speed, via Cincinnati and
Indianapolis, to Chicago, which we reach?
ed at noon Saturday, only six hours
betund the regular schedule time. Our
party numbered one hundred and eicht.
Monday morning we boarded the cable
cars for the Exposition grounds, which
were five miles distant from our head?
quarters, the Mecca Hotel, at the corner
of 34th and State streets. As soon as we
entered the grounds and got a glimpse of
what was before us, we at once realized
that in all of the many interesting descrip?
tions, we bad read of the greatest and
grandest exhibition the world has ever
presented to the view of mankind, we
had formed no idea of the magnitude or
vastness of the sam e. We at once resort?
ed to our guide book, and, after looking
over the map, we were tempted to ex?
claim, "where are we at!" We realized
then that if we bad six months' time at
our command we could not Bee every?
thing, and we resolved to attempt to see
only what we thought would interest us
most. For the first two or three days we
lost our individuality?forgot our iden?
tity with God's foot-stool, and literally
lived in the domain of dream-land and
moved through an atmosphere of ideal?
ism. This is no donbt the feeling of
ninety men out of every hundred that
enter the gates of the great "White City."
The site of the Exposition is Jackson
Park, with Washington Park ass beauti?
ful gateway to the western side of the
grounds, and in all covers an area of
about one thousand acres. The grounds
have a Lake frontage of nearly two miles,
and a more beautiful or appropriate spot
could not have been selected on this con?
tinent foi the great exhibition. It is very
accessible from any portion of the vast
city, and in transportation you have your
choice by either steam boats, steam,
horse, cable or electric cars, the elevated
railroad, or cabs, coaches, carriages, etc.
About $40,000,000 has been spent in pre?
paring the grounds and erecting the
buildings for the big show. There are
forty buildings devoted to special depart?
ments, nineteen buildings erected by
foreign governments, and thirty-four
State and Territorial buildings. These
do not include any of the buildings
erected by firms or individuals or those
on Midway Plaisance. Every nation on
earth is represented ther9, and the peo?
ple of each appear just as they live at
home?dress, habits and amusements are
all shown.
The main Exposition buildings ars
thirteen in n amber, and the names they
bear indicato vary clearly the nses for
which they are intended. Some of these
we ? ill refer to briefly, in order to give
our readers some idea of the magnitude
of the exhibition.
The Administration Building has been
pronounced the gem of all the architec?
tural jewels of the Exposition, and may
be seen from any portion of the grounds,
on account of its beautiful gilded dome,
which is 250 feet nigh. On the ground
floor is an exact' model of the Treasury
building at Washington, made of sou
venier half dollars. The World's Fair
Commissioners, representing every State
and Territory in the Union, meet in this
building every day at a certain hour. A
very cordial reception was tendered tho
Press Association here by the Commis?
sioners, and sevoral speeches were made.
The Agricultural Building, which hau
been appropriately styled the "Palace of
Agriculture," covers an area of fourteen
acres. In many ways it is one of the
most striking and magnificent structures
on the grounds. Here everything that
pertains to food products can be seen,
not only from the States of the Union but
from all the foreign countries. Informa?
tion is given the visitor by tags and
placards, so that he need ask no ques?
tions as he moves along. The building
cost only $618,000, and any intelligent
farmer could spend weeks there and
never get tired of seeing the wonderful
products of "old mother earth."
The Fine Arts Building cost ?670,000,
and covers an area of 300x5000 feet, and is
several stories high. It is simply bewil?
dering to take a view inside of it, for here
you see sculpture and paintings from
every portion of the globe, some of which
were four and five centuries old. Two
weeks could be easily spent in seeing the
beauties of this building.
The Dairy Building contains an excep?
tionally novel and interesting exhibit of
the dairy products. A Dairy School is
conducted here, but we did not have time
to take 1 jssous. The largest cheeso in the
world is on exhibition here. It weighs
22,000 pounds, and was made from 207,
200 pounds of milk, taken from 10,200
cows.
In tho Electricity Building are located
the most novel and brilliant exhibits of
the Exposition, and one month could be
profitably spent here looking at the won?
ders that man has developed. The build?
ing covers 5_ acres, and its cost was over
3400,000.
The Fisheries Building is one of great
interest to every visitor, and thousands
crowd its aisles every day. Nearly all
the species ot both fresh and salt water
fish are to be seen here. The groat fish
packing industriesof the country are also
shown.
The Forestry Building is very unique,
and its architecture is of the rustic order.
It contains a most varied exhibition of
forest products.
The Horticultural Building is a fine
structure, and covers nearly six acres.
The fruits and flowers of nearly every
nation are to be seen here, and it is one of
the most charming sights on the grounds.
Machinery Hall and the annexes cover
about twenty acres, and here the visitor
can stroll around for several weeks and
then not see all of the interesting ex?
hibits. To see nothing but this exhibit j
would more than repay a visit to the
Exposition. We could have spent a week
very profitably in looking at the printers'
department, which occupies only a small
spaco ot* the immense building. Here v/e
saw the first old hand press that was used
in the art of printing, as well as the larg?
est modern press.
The greatest structure on the Exposi?
tion grounds and the largest building of
the kind ever erected, the guide book
tells us, is the Manufacturers an<l Liiirnil 1
Arts Building. Its cost wus $1,000,000, j
and the floor alone consumed over ?,00i>,
000 feet of lumber and rive car loads of
nails. To say that this giant structure
contains forty-four acres of floor space I
gives but a faint idea of its immensity.
Thirty-five States of the Union and every I
nation on the earth has an exhibit in this
building. We spent the mostof our time
in this building viewing the foreign ox- I
hibits, and we regretted we could not seo
more of it.
The Mines and Mining Building is
another big structure, and perhaps dis?
plays the richest and rarest exhibit of
any. The mineral resources and pro?
ducts, not only of each State but of for?
eign countries, are elaborately illustrated.
AU of the precious stones are displayed
here, and a peep at the large, lustrous
diamonds is sufficient to make the aver?
age country editor commit the sin of
covetousness. Among tho curious ex?
hibits from the States is one by Louis-1
iana of a statue of rock salt representing
Lot's wife. I
' In the Transportation Building, which
is 960 feet long and 260 feet wide, a grand
object lesson is presented so clearly and
impressively that a child may learn in
hours and days what would otherwise I
require months and years. The exhibit ]
fully present the origin, growth and do-1
delopment of the various methods of
transportation used in all ages and in all
parts of the world. In short, this is one j
of the greatest shows on the grounds.
Tho United States Government Build-1
ing is exceedingly interesting to every I
visitor, and is always crowded. Every j
native American who goes iu there can't j
help feeling proud of the exhibit. We
could have spent wonks there and learned
something new about our grand country
every day. I
From the first, woman has been a most
important factor in the World's Colum- j
bian Exposition, and a tramp through I
Woman's Building shows, in part, what
she has accomplished in this world. It J
is a big building, too, and the architect I
was a woman. The exhibit of paintings, j
ceranmica, art work, manufactures,
liberal arts, fancy work, embroideries,
laces, etc., in this building is pronounced j
the most beautiful ever collected. {
Near Woman's Building is Children's j
Building, which is always filled to its
utmost capacity by visitors watching the
acrobatic performances of the little boys
and girls. On one side is the babies'
home. Here the tired mother can deposit I
her little one, get a check for it, ar.d it
will be well cared for by trained nurses j
until she calls for it j
Above we have only mentioned the
most prominent of the Exposition build-1
ings, bnt we want it understood thai; we
did not see one-twentieth of the exhibits j
contained therein. Nearly every build- j
ing has broad galleries, all of whioh con
tain interesting exhibits, but we did not
dare to ascend to many of them?our feet I
and legs utterly refused to respond to the ]
desires of our eyeu and mind. i
As we have always considered it ex- j
tremely doubtful whether v. j would ever J
cross the Atlantic, we spent a large part I
of our time viewing the exhibits in the
foreign buildings, and we think the time I
was well spent. The exhibits of Ger
many, France, Spain, Turkey and Sweden 1
were especially interesting, but our time I
I and limited space prompts us to move on, I
1 and we cannot refer to any of the novel j
and beautiful exhibits to be found there. J
i The buildings ereoted by the States and I
I Territories are grouped in the northern |
! part of the Exposition grounds, forming I
I a semi-circle around the Fine Arts gal- j
lories and the north ponds. These build-1
ings are designed primarily as head
quarters for the Commissioners of the
different States and Territories, but the
great majority of them are fitted up as
exhibition halls, and not a few of them I
j might be characterized as complete Ex- J
i positions in themselves, showing the
wonderful resources of each in the best
manner possible. It was impossible for j
us to visit them all. New York, Illinois,
California, Kansas and Iowa had perhaps
the most attractive exhibits. Our Press I
I Association was tendered a reception in
the New York building, and it was a
most enjoyable occasion. The managers
of the Arkansas building invited the
Association to make its place our head
quarters, and we were treated very kindly j
by them. I
Every day from 12 to 3 o'clock the im-1
mense stock pavillion is an interesting
place to vJdit. Here you see the finest 1
horses and cattle gathered from every I
section of the world. Among some of
the curiosities of the stock department is j
a pony so small that her shoes n re made ]
from $20 gold pieces, and a hen that {
walks backwards.
We will skip over numberless other J
interesting exhibits and simply mention
the beautifnl lagoons, fountains and j
statues. Every night thousands of peo- j
pie congregate in the spacious "Court of
Honor" to view the electrical fountains,
the grandest of which is the Columbia
fountain. Here and there, throughout.!
the grounds, the visitor finds himf.elf in
the company of grand sculptural pieces
of acknowledged artistic merit.
A trip down Midway Flaisance, which I
covers nearly one hundred acres of
ground, is one that no visitor ought to
fail to take. It represents a long, wide
street with various exhibitions along I
each side of it. There are about thirty-1
five places of amusement to visit. While
some of the places are nothing more than
a 10-cent side show to a circus, there are
others that are really interesting. Here
you can hear almost every language spo
ken by human tongue, and you can see
the old and young, male and female, of I
every nation. Tho greatest attraction in
the Plaisance is the Ferris Wheel, which I
is a wonderful sight Our Association I
visited it in a body, by invitation of the
manager, and we made two revolutions.
It is 260 feet high, with thirty-six swing- J
ing coaches attached, each holding about
twenty passengers. A fine view of the
Exposition and Chicago can be ba.d from
the windows of the cars. The axle of the
wheel is the largest piece of steel ever
forged, and is propelled by an immense
steam engine. It takes twenty minutes
to make a revolution, and when you j
reach the ground you can hardly realize
that you have made such a wonderful
journey.
There is every convenience and com- J
fort on the Exposition grounds, and the
best of order prevails. The uniformed
Columbia Guards, which do the police
duty, are to be seen everywhere, and they
take great pleasure in giving any infor?
mation desired. A lady can go on the
grounds alone and seo everything she
desires to lcok at in perfect safety.
The material used in the construction
of the Exposition buildings was iron,
wood, glass, and what is called "staff."
The latter is composed chiefly of pow?
dered gypsum, the other constituents
being alumina, glycerine and, dextrine.
These are mixed with water and cement,
which makes it bard. It is a permanent
building material, and the cost is loss
than one-tenth of marble or granito. Its
natural color is white, and as all of the
main buildings are built of it, it takes
the name of the "White City." On tho
grounds', in the bright Bunlight, the scene
is very trying on tho eves, and colored
eye-glasses aro very comfortable thiugs
to have with you.
We spent two woekB viewing the grand
exhibition, and if we could have secured
a new pair of legs we would have con?
tinued it for another week, at least. The
fact is, the Exposition is both too large
and too small. It is too large
for the visitor. No one pair of eyes can
?ee it all in the six months it is open to
"." puoli'', and, as t<> digesting what yon
>-:\ that im -nit of the- question. For here
urn amut??cd samples n( everything i.h;it
the civilized world produces. There ia
too much of it, but it cannot bo helped,
fur the reason is that tho civilized world
has grown too large. Iti future years it
will be worse still, and the only solution
of the difficulty that we, can propose is,
th3ta continuous World's Fair should be
established in Chicago or sore other con?
venient place, permanently a -essiblo to
the public, to be enlarged and modified as
occasion may demand, atid when the lly
ing-machinos are porfected tho people can
visit it easily as often as desired.
But we advise everybody who can pos?
sibly do so, to go and see this great show.
It is doubtful if another another such
Exposition will bo opened on the Ameri?
can contineut during tho next century.
One can go there and spend ten days,
aud cover all of his expenses with sixty
dollars. We met with no extortionate
prices, except in the restaurants on the
Exposition grounds. Tho prices in the
city restaurants are very reasonable, and
you can get a meal at any prico from fif?
teen cents up.
One sight of the wonderful architect?
ural beauty, one view of the marvellous
laudscape-erfect is worth the expense
aud fatigue of miles of travel. If wo
could not have entered a single building
on the ground, had enjoyed only the
lake view of the "white city" and got
one glimpse only of the beautiful col?
umns, domes and wondrous sculpture,
we would have felt repaid for our triu-?
ISo visitor should go to Chicago to see
the Fair only. The city is itself a world's
fair, to a country editor, especially. We
could have spent several weeks viewiug
the sights of the greatest city in America.
It is only about thirty miles long aud
twenty miles wide, aud you cau visit any
portion of it for live couts. There are
hundreds of placos of interest to the vis?
itor, among which are the beautiful parks
and the magnificent public buildings,
libraries, churches, etc. Among o'her
places, we visited the observatory of the
Masonic Temple, which is twenty-two
stories high. From that poiut one can
get some idea of the size of the city.
Lake Michigan is on the east, and as far
as the ey e can see on the north, west and
south there is nothing but buildings and
buildiugs. The Illinois River runs
through the city, aud several of the street
car lines go under it through tunnels.
The Press Association was the recipient
of many courtesies aud attentions, and
our badges were pronounced the pretti?
est that had been worn on the Exposition
grounds by any organizatiou or society.
It consisted of a red piece of silk ribbon,
two inches wide and six inches long,
with a miniature palmetto tree at the
top, and the following printed just be?
neath it: "South Carolina Press Associa?
tion, Columbia-Chicago, 1893." This
badge would admit us into a great many
places of amusement free of charge.
The Association was invited to visit the
great packing house of Nelson Morris &
Co., where we saw thousands of hogs,
cattle and sheep butchered, and then fol?
lowed tho carcasses through furnaces and
refrigerators, until we beheld the ilesb
ready for shipment. Besides the sheep
and cattle, this house has the capacity for
handling 10,000 hogs a day.
Messrs. Barnhardt Bros. <fc Spindler,
the anti-trust typefounders, invited the
press gang to visit their immense foun?
dry and see the manufacture of type,
which was greatly enjoyed, and from
there we were escorted by a member of
the firm to an elegant steamer on the
lake, and, after a pleasant ride, landed
us at the Exposition. During our stay
in the city the representatives of this
firm treated our members very kindly,
and whenever we need anything in our
offices they will certainly be remember?
ed in a very substantial way.
As we have stated above, our head?
quarters were at the Mecca Hotel, on
State street, which is one ol the best
equipped and largest hotels in the city,
having 650 rooms. It has entertained all
of the Press Associations that have visit?
ed the Expc ition, and the majority of
the visitors from the South make it their
home while in Chicago. It is couducted
on the European plan, and its terms are
very reasonable. The hotel was built by
Mr. Scoville, formerly of the Kimball
House, Atlanta, Ga. It is on the line of
cable cars and only a short distance from
tho elevated railroad. Go there and you
will be pleased with everything.
The Mississippi Press Association were
in Chicago with us, aud made their head?
quarters at the Mecca hotei. Of course,
it was a great pleasure to meot them.
Our trip was made via Ashoville, Knox?
ville, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, over
what is known as the Monon Route. The
scenery along this route is perfectly
grand, and it is worth the trip to see it.
We passed through only twenty-seven
tunnels between Knoxville and Cincin?
nati.
Capt. A. P. Darrow, of the Pullman Car
service, was in charge of our train, and it
was the general opinion of our party that
no railroad or other corporation in this
country has a more genial, courteous,
accommodating employee in its service
than ho. In short, our Association fell
in love with him, and, as a little token of
our appreciation of his kindness, he was
presented with a gold-headed cane, prop?
erly engraved, after we reached Chicago.
In conclusion, let us say that Mr. C. H.
Prince, the indefatigable and energetic
Secretary of the State Press Association,
deserves the hearty thanks of every mem?
ber for his successful mauagomentof our
excursion. He left nothing undone that
would tend to the comfort and pleasure
of each member of tho party, aud his
name will ever be pleasantly remember?
ed with the many beautiful scones at the
World's Fair.
Hon. W. D. Evans, President of the
State Alliance, is not in favor of a stay
law or of an extra session of the Legisla?
ture.
The cotton crop of this year, according
to the Augusta Chronicle, will bring into
the United States ?200,000,000 in gold.
There will be a plenty of money, too, to
move the cotton crop. Wall street under?
stands the situatiou. As soon as cotton
begins to move actively, the balance of
trade, as between this country and Eu?
rope, will rapidly turn in our favor.
Gold will pour in for our cotton and the
financial situation will bo greatly im?
proved. _
Shell Back Home.
Dispatch to Greenville News.
Columbia, S. C, Sept. 9.?Congress?
man Shell, who was recently injured by
a cablo car in Washington, passed
through the city to-day in the private
car of Superintendent McBee, of the
Richmond & Danville road. Many
friends called ou him and found him
rapidly recovering. Captain Shell said
he thought Governor Tillman had acted
very unwisely in his recent expressions
about the financial situation wherein he
spoke of a stay law in this State and
about the advisability of hanging some
one for the monev troubles. Captain
Shell said, that a stay law would prove
disastrous to tho farmers. He said that
he would favor most heartily some plan
whereby the farmers could store their
cotton and issue a circulating medium
thereon as a moans of temporary relief
from the panic and its effects upon the
South's iitaple. He expressed himself
rather warmly as to the circular justsont
out by the United States treasurer as a
tax on the local circulating medium of
the country. He says it is an outrago
and if carried out means simple prohibi?
tion of these issues and throws tho South
back upon tho mercy of tho money lend?
ers of New York who havo recently ex?
torted from the people about a million
dollars in premiums upon currency, by
virture of the country's extremoty.
Captain Sholl said he thought there was
great probabilities of a compromise in
the Senate on the silver question. Said
he, "Mr. Cleveland is becoming uneasy
over the delay in bringing matters to a
close and favors any plan which will in?
dicate to tho country the financial policy
wo expect to observe. Tho silver men
will stay there forty Christmases before
they will weaken and though there is now
a majority in the Senate for repeal, thero
is a general aud most commendable- de?
sire both by that body as a whole and by
the president, to give tho country a plan
which will insure a return of confidence
and a speedy strengthening of the busi?
ness situation. It seems to mo that tho
popular measure of compromise is the
one to repeal tho Sborman law and then
pass a law requiring the silver bullion
now in the treasury to be coined at onoe.
If this is done thero will be an early ad?
journment of Congress, If not it is
probable that this extraordinary session
will be allowed to run on into the regular
session."

STARVING!
Iwfliity TJuuiManri Sc? Island Suirerorn.
Columbia Male.
Tue people of tho Union havo been
culled upon to help tho starving sou island
sufferers!
For several days it has been obvious
that the condition of things was much
more serious on the sea islands than any?
one supposed, even up to a week after
tho fearful hurricane. The reports have
been so slow in coming in that tho real
situation could not bo ostimated. "When
the appeals from Colleton County began
to arrive, telling not only of death and
starvation, but of sickness, the peoplo
began to entertain sorions fears.
But all previous reports were laid in
tho shade yesterday when Dr. J. W. Bub
cock roturned to tho city, aud made a
verbal report to tho Governor, tolling of
the desert condition of tho territory and
making tho appalling statement that over
20,000 peoplo, survivors of the recent dis?
astrous hurricane work, were staring
starvation and pestilence in the lace;
that they had no future to look to for
relief till after the winter had passed;
and telling the Governor that unless ex?
tensive relief was given immediately
thousands of survivors would havo to
die the worst of all deatliH. Ho brought
along some samples of tho spoiled water
soaked potatoes, that those poor people
are now trying to sustain life with.
Hogs would refuse to oat such food if
food it can be termed.
The worst fears of the Governor were
realized and ho at once set the machinery
of the government at work to accomplish
the socuring of necessary relief. The
people of the State have done nobly in
sending in contributions, but what they
can do is, as Governor Till man says, a
mere bagatelle when the real needs are
considered.
Governor Tillman saw at once that the
present mode of attempting relief was
entirely inadequate to meet the emer?
gency. He intends to establish a large
central relief committee in Charleston,
that city being a port and having quick
railroad connections.
The first action of the Governor, upon
receiving Dr. Babeock's verbal report,
was to wire the following:
Columbia, Sept. 7.
Hon. John P. Ficken, Charleston, S. C.:
From information derived from Dr.
Babcock, who has just returned from
Beaufort, aud from letters describing the
condition existing in Colleton and the
islands between the two Edistos, the
number of starving and destitute people
cannot be less than twenty thousand, and
the liberal contributions already made
and being made are a mere bagatelle in
comparison with what will be needed to
carry these people through the winter,
and, in any degree, place them on a self
supporting basis. We must make a
general call for aid, and the business of
relief must bo systematized and con?
trolled by one central committee, whose
labors will last far into winter.
The relief committees which have
already been appointed were hastily se?
lected, and I did not realize the magni?
tude of the labor before us. Please con?
fer with the committee in Charleston and
then como'hero at the earliest possible
moment, so that we may advise in the
matter. The work of relief is just begun.
B. F*. Tillman, Governor.
In the afternoon as soon as Dr. Bab
cock's written report was received the
following executive proclamation was
issued calling on the people of the United
States for aid. This appeal and Dr. Bab
cock's report was sent all over the coun?
try last night. It speaks for itself:
To the People of the United States:
Tho hurricane which swept the South
Atlantic coast on the 27th of August was
unparalleled in its severity. It spread
desolation and ruin throughout the entire
State of South Carolina, but the soa is?
lands spreading northward along the
coast of South Carolina from the Savannah
river to tbe Kurth Edisto inlet, were the
greatest sufferers, by reason of the
severity of the wind and the unprece?
dented'height of the tide. The sea in?
vaded the land. Hundreds of houses
have been swept away by the waves or
blown down by the wind, and while the
exact number of deaths will never be
known, it cannot be less than 1,000, and
vegetation has been as completely blasted
by the salt water as though it were the
breath of the simoon. What was a pros?
perous and bloc ng expanse of rice
fields, gardens, and farms is to-day a
desert with the very land marks destroy?
ed, leaving the people without shelter,
without food, without the possibility of
getting work, except for a limited num?
ber, to confront tbe terrors of starvation
until another crop can be grown. Owing
to the fact that nineteen-twentieths of
them are negroes, and that means of com?
munication with the remote islands has
been destroyed, I have only within a day
arrived at a clear understanding of the
situation and the horror it unfolds.
Dr. J. W. Babcock, superintendent of
the State Lunatic Asylum, and an/accom?
plished physician, who went to the scene
of the disaster, on the first of September,
as my official representative, returned to?
day and his official report accompanies
this appeal. I do not deem it necessary
to dwell upon the picture he draws. I
have not felt justified hitherto in asking
for help except from our own people.
The people of the State whose losses by
the storm will run up into the millions
have responded nobly and immediate suf?
fering is being alleviated, but starvation
or pestilence will claim many thousand
victims before the winter is over if our
efforts are not supplemented by the char?
itable in other Statos.
I pledge my official word that contribu?
tions shall reach the people for whom
they are intended; that tho charity which
may be given shall not be misapplied;
that laziness and idleness will not be en?
couraged, but the money and provisions
which may be donated shall be applied
to the support of these people so as to
enable them to rebuild their houses and
take a new start in life with the new
year. There are not less than twenty
thousand thus destitute. Bread alone for
these storm sufferers will cost not less
than ?75,000 between now and March,
while practically eleven months will
elapse boforo they can grow any. Medi?
cines, bed clothing, anything that can be
used in a house?bocause everything is
gone?will be thankfully received. We
can buy these things with money; but if
money iB not to be had don't hesitate to
contribute. Send all contributions of
money to me. They will be acknowl?
edger?-through the p.ress and will be put
in '.ank to be checked againt as needed.
Send all other contributions to the cen?
tral relief committee at Charleston, S. C.
My efforts to relieve these unfortunates
are stimulated by the feeling that, being
negroes, ignorant aud helpless, they are
peculiarly the wards of the Executive.
A common humanity pleads with those
who are able to help these poor wretches
in their destitution.
B. R. Tillman, Governor.
Dr. Babcock's report is as follows:
Columbia, S. C, Sept. 7,1893.
His Excellency, B. R. Tillman, Governor,
Columbia, South Carolina.
Sir: Asa result of the investigations
made at your request, I Bubmit the fol?
lowing report:
Three days were spent in making per?
sonal visits to the islands around Beau?
fort, and I there found tho situation so
serious as to demand immediate atten?
tion. The facilities for communication
between the tier of islands and country
between Charleston aud Savannah at
best are poor, and just at this time a:
especially so. In addition to visitir
numbers of the islands inquiry was mac
through reliable souicesof existing coi
ditious in parts not personally inspector
It is with regret that after a careful ii
quiry I must confirm the reliabili;y i
tho published accounts of tho number <
deaths, loss of crops aud devastate <
that section.
All that portion of South Cffolii
known as tho Sea Islands and thos* pa*
of Colletou, Eerkeloy, Beaufor a'l
Charleston counties subjected o ?e
water influences were moro or los s<'i
ously damaged by tho cyclone, aid Jgh
tide of Suuday, August27th. The esfac
tion of crops and homos was m<ro Spe?
cially noticeable on the expose itfnids
which include: John's, wdmlaw,
Edisto, Port Royal, Coosaw. St J?lena
aud the othors adjacent. Thctfritor.y
adjoining Corabaheo, Ashepoc >ncl th3
neighboring rivers was foun':o uavi
suffered serious losses.
At the lowest estimates fulj700 Iivis
wero lost. The corouerof Ben01'1 places
the number ot 800.
The storm swept away at la* one-half
of tho homes on the island/facing (he
ocean such as Coosaw, Cornet. Helena,
Edisto in mauy places. I m* ?t?te that
on Lands Eud, Polly Wai and Hope
Plantation, the survivors ,e crowded
into the few homes that ihstood tho
storm.
These islands are inhabit by a popu?
lation of about 45,000 pflo most of
whom are dopendent up their crops
for support. Some incc? is derived
from work in tho phosph' mines. Tho
tido covered most of tbe/mds, and tho
low lands on tho mainld, and had a
most disastrous offect on tho crops.
Tho salt water entirely tod such of the
cotton, potato and pea c^> as it covered,
and the wind storm bled?wn the corn
crop. The high tide a long submer?
sion of tho rice ornp hjj ruined it. In
short tho planters of Ul?octiou have no
right to expect more fen an oighthof
tho ordinary crop.
With their homesfestroycd, their
crcps ruined, and the pspbalo Industry
paralyzed by the los/ its equipment
thero is very littlo for tbeso people to do.
Thoy liavo no resources; nil of it was In
tbe destroyed crops. They firo willing
euongh to work, but thero is nothing foi
them to do. The pooplo uro to-da}* Jiving
on stilted potatoes they have gathorod,
togothor with tho corn saved. This can?
not last lon^. There are from 20,000 to
20,000 people who have to be supported
almost entirely until another crop can be
planted, about April, when they can se?
cure advances. Thoro is no other solu?
tion.
Tho history of this section shows that
after the less severe storm of 1817,1854,
and 1871 an epidemic of malarial fever o1
a malignant type followed. Thore is
now a serious possibility of such an
epidemic. In addition to the great loss
of human lifo there have been a greit
many animals drowned and thore his
boon extreme carelessness in tho bur.al
of tho bodies. Tho water supply is
brackish. The people are forced to 1 ve
in crowded houses, in many localises
and with tho abort supply of provisions
the conditions are far too favorable for
tho spread of tho fever. Good food uid
clothing are sorely needed and will lo a
great deal,to minimize tho possibility of
n spread of any troublo. A numb?rof
cases of fever and diarrhoea havo jeen
reported already.
Tho central relief committee at Jeau
fort has for the last few days beep dis?
tributing rations among the needj on a
careful basis. It is realized that lib food
stuffs contributed will have to las very
many months, and on that accoun limi?
ted supplies are given those knowi to be
deserving of help. From what J could
see, there is no oncouragomont of Uleness
nor is thoro any disposition to aluse the
charity by assisting those who arrablo to
find work. Tho superintendent* of tho
Phosphate works advise mo t)at they
have daily to turn away hundred* of men
who seek work.
Tho seriousness of the situaion can
hardly be overdrawn. The disress and
impending dangers of starvation appeal
for prompt assistance.
Competoht relief committeosiave been
organized with colored reprsontation,
and the distribution of the applies is
being systematically and cautiusly man?
aged.
"In addition to tho supply o: food there
is a necessity for clc thing. Jost of those
who survived saved only theclothing on
their backs and are without proper rai?
ment for the winter season.
Additional medical assisf.nce, larger
supplv of medicines and dsinfoctants I
regard as prime necessities. Respectfully
submitted, j. W Babcock.
