If these horrible accidents do not soon cease the next census will show a decided falling oh! in population in this country. The reports from day ta day are horrible indeed. The Savannah Press suggests that if all the Southern Governors follow thc example of the Governor of Ar kansas any pardon criminals, provided they will go to Massachusetts that State may have more intimate know ledge of the negro question. The strike in the Augusta Cotton Mills and;'if mills on Horse Creek on thc South Carolina side is ended. Every mill in the district opened up yesterday. There is some little show of fight by a few of the operators of thc King mill, but even in this mill thc strike may be considered practi cally ended. - - mm . m-? - ? The government report sent out last week says the cotton erop is in promising condition generally through out the cotton belt. Good stands of early cotton and satisfactory germina tion of thc late planted are indicated except in portions of the Carolinas aud Louisiana, with clean fields aud healthy growth in practically all sec tions. In Southern Texas thc crop has made rapid advancement and squares arc forming. Congress has passed the naval ap propriation bill. Chairman Foss of the Committe on Naval Affairs in his desire to impress upon thc members of tho House the necessity for pass ing the bill somewhat rudely dispell ed a few popular delusions regarding the American position at sea. It would havo been, he declared, to our everlasting shame if our fleets at Manila and Santiago had not defeated the Spanish squadrons, as the Ameri can forces were the superior in ton nage and efficiency. Because we had whipped a little nation with a little navy was no reason for assuming that we could defeat all comers. This criticism was no doubt needed in order that too much confidence should not be placed upon the ability of the existing navy. Of the 138 ships under the Stars and Stripes a ma jority would be of little effective ser vice in war. The increase provided in the present bill, two battleships, two armored cruisers and two gun boats, is no more than might properly he added. Without entering the burdensome competition of European Powers in the construction of fleets and the maintenance of unnecessary armaments the United States will do well to continue the evolution of its navy until its power and efficiency will be equal to any probable emer gency. This preparedness for war, as has BO often been said, is tho best assurance of peace. Where, in case of emergency, volunteers can be re lied on to create an army of whatever size may be required warships cannot be built in a day or a month. And, as the war with Spain proved, the American navy is the nation's first line of defense and its efficiency may avert closer hostilities. Union Swept by a Tornado. Union, S. C., May 35.-This place was visited this afternoon by a terrible tornado. The storm came from the north and it seems there was also one from the southwest, meeting in this vicinity- It played havoc, four deaths and considerable loss of property ns thu results. The storm from the north was preceded by n heavy rain and what appeared to bo a dark mass about ono hundred yards wide. It traveled with prent speed and people barely had time to "get in doors before the storm was upon the town. The wing1 ot tho storm passed along Main street and Mew several store doors open, doing more or less damage. Knitting Mill Hill, south of thc (own, caught tlie lull force ot the tornado, which blew down the school house and two residences, converting them liter ally into kindling wood. The occu pants flew from one ot* the houses be fore it went to pieces and took refuge in another near by, but this house was also crushed to splinters. In this house Misses Sallie Hart and Annie Lawson were instantly killed, Mrs. Maxey Sims died in nn hour and her little daughter Weva died about 0 o'clock. Maxey Sims escaped with a broken finger. Mr. Leo Sims received two bad cuts on tho head from falling timbers and was internally injured. Mr. Mabry sustained a fractured shoul der and had his leg badly burned by n stove falling on him, and he was inter nally injured. His case may prove fatal. Mrs. Lee Sims received a bad but not fatal cut on the head. Mrs. Mabry and her two children escaped with slight injuries. It took sometime to get the victims from the debris. Every physician in town was soon npon the scene, also President Nicholson and Manager Gault of Excelsior Knitting mills- and willing hands assisted in relieving the sufferers as much ns possible. The news ?prend rapidly and the hill was soon full of people from town, anxious to render every assistance pos sible. Everything that tho families had was destroyed. Jonesville reports in a telegram to Miss Rawson, the lady who was killed, that tho storm was fearful nt that Since and one of her family had been died there. Miss Lawson was dead when the telegram an ?ved. lola Dots. A happy .May greeting to you, Mr. Editor, aful your many kimi rentiers. Little MIKS Janie Campbell lins re turned to her happy home after spend ing a pleasant week at Central with friends. Mrs. Dave Greene has been very ill at her home nt this pince, but her many friends aro glad to note her being bet Mr. Z. McAlister, of Central, called around to ace his old friend, Mr. Thomas Campbell. Mr. lien Mitchell, who han been suf fering so long, we are sorry to note is worse. Hi? health is fast failing him.

Miss Corrio Mays has returned home, after spending three pleasant weeks with loved ones near Pelzer. John Holder and little son, True, visited the former's mother, Mrs. Mar tha Holder, of Williamson. Our Sunday School meets with great success. We have a large number of scholars ami three teachers. We hope our work will increase, for Cod has promised thnt when a few nre gathered together we can worship our Lord and Master. J. A. Wolborn, of Williamston, showed his well known face in our midst. Ho lins been to Texas and re ports everybody hail and hearty. Tho loin Debuting Society meets with much success. The subject for last Saturday night was "Could man live on Earth without Bin?'' That sub ject was not HO well spoken as "which was the worse-a drinking husband or a quarreling wife.'"' lt was decided tho husband was the worse. Come up. Mr. Editor, and hour them some Sat urday night. Cardens ar? very poor in these parts, and crops also, hut cotton looks very well. Willie Holton is RH tiering severely with rheumatism. We hope he will soon he up again. The fruit lices promises us an abun dance of fruit this year, especially old Held plums. Mr. and Mrs. Julius Wilson and their sweet little giri, Marie, ure visit ing tho former's brother, Johnnie Wil son, in < iconcc. Mr. and Mrs. .John Browne, of Sep ias, visited friends in lola last Satur day and Sunday. One of our best friends and neigh bor. Mr. David II. Greene, departed this wide world without any Butlering nBany one over kuew. Ho died on his way home from Anderson with his son in-law, .Junien Buchanan. Mr. Greene was apparently in good health, and his death was a great shock to his many friends and neighbors. He never look ed crosB, never looked like he wns in trouble or had tho least thing to bother him. Ile had a smile for every one, young and old, black and white. Iola feels she has lost a good man. His son, John, was in Greenville, but n tele phone told him of his devoted father's death. Mr. Greene leaves a kind, broken-hearted wife and one sou and one daughter, and a host of friends and loved ones who deeply sympathize with the grief stricken family. Noone ever came to Mr. Greene but what they re ceived kind welcome; no matter who it was nor what they wanted. They laid Mr. Greene to rest in the Sandy Springs Churchyard by the side of his loved ones gone before him. Tho be reaved family have the sympathy of their many friends and kindred. Mattie C. Holder.
