NINETEEN KILLED BY STORM.

1
Over One Hundred Injured, Latest
f Report of Western Tornado.
Kansas City, Mo., April 13.?Al
though the weather is fair to-night
throughout the tornado swept districts
of Kansas, Oklahoma and western
Missouri and northern Arkansas,
c
the major portion of the telephone
and telegraph wires are still down,
and only meagre reports of the death
and destruction wrought by the storm
yesterday are obtainable. It now appears
that at least 19 persons were
killed. Pour deaths are reported
: from Meeker, Okla., and three from
Plummerville, Ark., are of identified
persons.
The list of injured will number
more tnan iuu.
The monetary loss in Kansas alone
is estimated to be in excess of $600,?
000. It is thought the damage in
-other sections visited by the storm
will bring the total to be more than
$1,000,000.
Of all the stricken cities Big Heart,
Okla., suffered the greatest damage.
; Three people were killed there, 60
R1 injured, 38 fatally. Although injured
in Big Heart they were taken
to Tulsa on a relief train and they
are now 'in hospitals there. Little of
the town was left standing.
Lawrence, Kan., sustained the
largest property loss of any Kansas
town, it being estimated at $200,000.
Seventy-four residences were
wrecked in the street lines, and electric
lights were put out of commission.
The city is still dark.
In Brown county, Kan., the tornado
destroyed more than $300,000
worth of property. The tornado
swept a clean path 15 miles long and
three-quarters of a mile wide in that
section. Eskridge's loss is placed at
$75,000.
P Delightful Fish Fry.
Olar April 14.?Our champion
fisherman, Capt. W. K. Best, invited
a few friends to join him in a Good
Friday fish fry in Saltkehatchie river,
"one of whom I was which." Now
ft is said that "it is the gift of poetry
I . to hallow the place in which it
moves," so the writer concluded that
he would write up an account of it
j:> in poetry which would knock all the
I . . spots out of anything any of your
other correspondents would write, because
mine would be poetry, and so
I at first commenced this article
thus:
'.'On the banks of Saltkehatchie
"Where the winds and waves "
Just then I found that I could not
not find any rhyme for Saltkehatchie,
I and how the d-d-deuce can a fellow
write poetry on a subject that he
could find t no rhyme for, sp I just
dropped down to common prose.
" We put in for business about 3
o'clok in the afternoon, and by early
dark we had all the fish necessary
for a pine bark fry, and it was not
my intention to be personal in this
communication, but I must give some
praise to Mr. G. E. Ritter for the fine
fry and the very excellent red-horse
bread that he made. There was a
big quantity of each one of t&ese
left and by common consent this
was given to your scribe and the lady
folks at my house are epicures and
pronounced it just splendid.
The writer often thinks of a remark
that one of your prominent
men of Bamberg who moved there
from this section once made. It was
this: "The Edisto fish are good, but
nowhere that I have ever been have
I found fish with "that fine flavor that
the 'fish of Big Saltkehatchie have,"
and I agree with this gentleman. But
- what a pity they didn't give the
I stream a more poetic name. But I
am not going back on our river at
all. You know that the Indians had
a tradition that whoever once earned
& or drank in this stream should they
ever he banished away, would return
^ or sigh to return to its banks again.
This was said of Turkey Creek, and
Turkey Creek is a tributary to Saltkehatchie.
I am not a young man
any more, and remember very well
when our own George Harrod, and
Ealy Williams and others were
forced to leave her borders, but they
all returned again, only for a few
-days, at the risk of their lives.
y I intended to mention earlier that
our little party went down this
stream from historic old Jtivers'
bridge about three miles. We then
came to a high and dry island, quite
jC favorable for a camp. We found
plenty of dead, dry wood among the
? beech trees, and we had such a good
fire till some of the party wanted to
*? spend all the night, but the majority
ft ruled and we all arrived safely home
in the "wee small hours."
The weather was very kind to us,
for although it threatened to rain it
f. didn't, and the moon shone brightly,
and we joked lightly and mocked the
owls when they hooted and sang
"the lone starry hours" and other familiar
and appropriate songs and we
kg' all felt that we were good friends
and that there was some things that
ft' made this little wooden world worth
living in after all, even if we haven't
got any rhymes for our streams.
Now I never could find a rhyme for

Columbia, April 13.?Gov. Bleas
announced to-day that, if in th

Supervisor Goodwin is upheld by th
courts, he would withdraw constable
from the counties having no dispen

In such counties the law provide
that the constables shall be paid ou

Fifty Years of Great Achievement.
Fifty years ago this week thi
South was on the eve of a great war
Wrought up to a state of tension b;
the prospect of a conflict with thi
North, which however is ended, i
was recognized, would involve the ex
penditure of millions of treasure an<
the sacrifice of thousands of lives
business was at a standstill. Thi
pall of commercial stagnation ha<
spread its panoply over both side
of the Potomac and men without em
ployment roamed the streets, hungr;
and anxious. For four years thi
hands on the clock of industry stop
ped moving. When they resume<
half a million brave fellows had beei
laid away beneath the sod and tei
billion dollars had been consume*
in powder and armament.
No 50 years in the world's histor:
have seen greater changes anywheri
than have been wrought since thei
in the South, which rising from thi
smouldering embers of industria
prostration has taken her plac<
among the most progressive, an*
most enterprising sections of the na
tion. Unaided by the rest of thi
country it has solved the tremendoui

of the war with an intelligence, initi

best traditions. Beset with discour
agements on every side, handicappe<
by lack of capital, and encompasset
by difficulties that called for the ex
i
ercise of extraordinary firmness, tact
industry and judgment, it has opto
mistically kept its face to the risinj
sun and succeeded where pessimisn
suggested failure. It has stimulate<
agriculture and given a new impetui
to manufacture. It has encourage<
the extension of railroads througl
undeveloped communities, promote*
irrigation for the arid .waters an<
fostered drainage for the lowlands
It has infused new life into the cot
ton industry, now worth $900,000,

West in its ambition to wrest fron

Oxford processes, which do here ii

Child Injured by Horse.

Camden, April 14.?While playing

JJ ? ?
t Mackey, the 3-year-old son of J. T.
Mackey, cashier of the First National
bank, was kicked and pawed by
the family horse. The little boy's
skull was crushed, and as a result
his side is completely paralyzed beg
ing caused by the indentation pressy
ing against the brain.
s As soon as his condition was
e learned he was carried to Columbia
_ on the morning train. An operation
8 will be- performed to relieve the
v pressure against the brain and cure
a the paralysis. The accident is not
. necessarily fatal. It is not known
f whether the horse was vicious or
s merely prancing and playing with
_ the boy, as it was accustomed to
B doing.
1 Agreement in Kirk Case.
Aiken, April 12.?Monday afternoon
Judge Prince heard the arguy
ments in the case of "Mrs. Georgiana
* Hamilton vs. Herbert E. Gyles and
s others, composing the city council of
e Aiken, H. H. Wyman, and others,
composing the board of health of
f the city of Aiken, T. G. Croft and
1 Mrs. E. C. Legare." This case came
5 as a result of an injunction secured
8 temporarily several weeks ago to forbid
the board of health or city coun?
cil from destroying by fire or other
8 "wise the house formerly occupied by
Miss Kirk, the alleged leper, who
died some time ago.
The parties consented that the tems>
porary order should be continued
ti until a final adjudication of the quese
tions concerned in the temporary or['
der, principally the same as were
brought up when the case of Miss
s Kirk was in the courts, namely, that
> the form of leprosy from which Miss
= Kirk suffered was not malignant, etc.
Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps?
No, never. Its foolish to fear a

weakness, aches in the bones
s and muscles and may' induce deadly
e typnoia. cut nuectric tuners ae,
stroys and casts out these vicious
germs from the blood. "Three bot1
ties drove all the malaria from my
system," wrote Wm. Fretwell, of Lut
cama, N. C., "and I have had fine
health ever since." Use this safe,
sure remedy only. 50c. at Peoples
