A terrille force, struck Gainesville
Ga., Munday June 2, out of a clear
f?Uy, causing fearful loss ol' life tu that
city and New Holland and White.
.Sulphur. As near as can be calculat ed
at present thc results are 8{i women
and children dead and perhaps 40
more fatally Injured, with a property
loss ol" something like $.100,000. The
death list is yet imperfect, not all the
bodies having been recovered and
iden titled; Many of them were mangled
ed beyond recognition, the only means
of identification being Hie records of
the two cotton mills, in which most
or the victims worked.
Thc dcatli-dealiug storm appeared
suddenly a little before 1 o'clock and
within two minutes it had killed near
ly IOU persons, torn two stories from
the ti vc- lloor brick factory of the
Gainsville (.'olton mills, demolished
almost 200 collage, razed two brick
stores to thc ground and blown down
innumerable outbuildings. I ty what
appears to bc a miracle, thc tornado's
fury was con tined to the outskirts of
the city, the main business and resi
dence portion not being touched. Tor
rents of rain accompanied the wind,
but within live minutes after its li ist.
onslaught thc sun was shining upon a
scene of fearful desolation.
Thc list of thc dead is con li ned
mainly to operatives of the Gaines
ville Cotton mills and thc Pa colet Cut
ton mills, and two-thirds of them
were v-omen and children.
Unconfirmed reports from White.
Sulphur, seven miles from Gainesville,
say that about 12 persons were killed
there. Their names are not yet
obtainable and hopes are expressed
that this report is unfounded.
IN TIT13 TWINKLING OK AN KYK.
The tornado did ils appalling work
in such incredibly short time that it
is dim ult to get a coherent descrip
tion ol'its character, lt appears tu
have swept down from the
southwest, striking the Gainesville
mills with a roar like the re Port "f
artillery. After lifting two stories
from Ibis structure il swept on to the
northward, leaving a trail of distinc
tion along Summit street, which is in
habited almost exclusively by negroes.
Nearly 100 cottages tit' colored people
on this street were leveled to the
ground, hut hy a fortunate circum
stance the tenants were all absent hav
ing left the eily in Hie morning to
take pattin a negro picnic.
The furious wind next descended'on
the plant of the l'aeolet Cotton mills
at New Holland, two milt s from the
Southern station. This is one til' the
largest!mills in thc south, employing
more than 000 hands. The storm
spared the Paeolet factory, but entire
ly demolished 100 ol' its cottages,
standing near by and tenanted by ils
operatives. J 1?re the fatalities were
greatest, upwards ?if persons being
buried in thc ruins of Gie cottages.
Bodies were blown hundreds of yunis
and many of them when picked up
bore no semblance lo humanity. The
trunk of one young hoy was lound
with the head decapitated as if hy
the guillotine.
From New Holland the torn?til)
swept onward to the east ol' White
Sulphur, a town of about 100 persons.
Thc extend of its destruction there
cannot now be definitely told, but re
ports so for received indicate consid
erable loss of life.
TKUUIIIIA MANOLKI).
Thc bodies of most of thc dead in
the two cotton mills were fearfully
torn and mangled: the skulls of many
of thom were crushed and thc limbs
broken: some were torn and crushed
about the abdomen with the viscera
visibly protruding. The local physi
cians who gave first aid to the injured
say the sights were horrible beyond
description. The death list is expect
ed to bc of nilli:ii greater magnitude
hy morning, as nearly .'10 are believed
to bc hurt beyond hope ol' recovery.
SUlUI KONS KUOM ATLANTA.
Gainesville has only 12 local physi
cians and their services were found
entirely inadequate fur the situation.
Surgeons from Atlanta and other
points came, so that the number in
the city now is about lo and all pos
sible care and attention is being given
the injured people.
At a meeting Monday night of
physicians, newspaper men and citi
zens of Gainesville a relief committee
was formed with Janies If. (?ray ol'
Atlanta as the chairman. Supplies
will be rushed into the stricken city
rs rapidly as possible. Gainesville
feels able to take care ol' the immedi
ate needs ol' the sniveling, but unless
supplies are received much distress is
likely to result, as the families visited
by death and mutilation were almost
without exception dependent, upon
their daily labor for support.
The property loss. iL is now esti
mated, will reach about *:ioo,ooo.

A MASS OK UUINS.
The entire pathway ol' the storm,
extending two miles from the Gaines
ville mills around the outskirts of the
city to the Pacolet mills at New Hol
land is st mass of ruins, but form
nat ely the cottages in the trail of til
tornado between the Soul hem stat ion
and New - Holland were those of ne
groes who were all absent from the
city Monday lu attendance on a col
ored excursion.
Musi ness is almost entirely suspend
ed throughout the city, thc attention
of everybody being given to the care
ol' thc wounded and suffering. There
is no lack of medical atteution, many
surgeons being present from Atlanta
and oilier cities. There is great need,
however, of closing* antiseptics and
other medical supplies.
The local militia have been called
out for police duty. The city is very
orderly and quiet' and only a few In
stances ol' pillaging have been re
pelled.
TOUNADO'S WOltK COM I'LKTK.
Tile work or the tornado was com
plete. From the factory whore lt
li ist descended upon the doomed city
to the hills beyond New Holland
where it rose into thc upper air, the
destruction of property is appalling.
Along this entire course tor a dis
tance ol' two miles there is not a fence
standing, nota habitable house, most
nf the latter being reduced to strips
like laths anti scarcely a tree left.
At New Holland the storm did its
worst. Nothing but thc barren red
hills are left there to tell thc story of
bbc awful disaster.
Kor a distance of three-quarters of
i mile on the hillsides and in thc val

, and
probably not more t han (50 or 70 per
cent of the planting was finished up
ta that date. Then the heavy rains
commenced through Kansas, Missouri,
Nebraska and losva, and this prevent
ed the farmers from continuing their
work in the' Heids.
The wet weather has contlhued so
long that the farmers have been un
able to look after the corn which they
had planted, and it is now becoming
so late that, even if good weather
should arrive, itisdoubtful if it would
be advisable to add much to thc corn
acreage, for the reason that it would
be likely to bring the late planted crop
into the season of frost, when it was
in a critical condition.
Probably a large percentage ol' the
early sown corn will be all right In
the advent, of good weather very
soon. At best, it is feared that there
will be a corri shortage in thc fall of
from :t0 to 40 per cent. Oats arc said
to have been affected almost as much
as corn. Wheat, however, has, up to
the present time, not been materially
alfected although the long continued
wet spell will probably make it two
weeks later than usual.
A Woman's I Icu rt.
Some one has truly said that there
are three things that man is destined
never to solve-perpetual motion) the
square or a circle, and thc heart or a
woman. While he may go a liule
way into thc labyrinth of the last
with the thread ol' love, which his
Ariadne will gladly give him at the
door, he wili never solve it.
"Tim dim chambers arc fragrant
with precious things, for through thc I
winding passages Memory has strewn
ruc and lavender, love and longing,
sweet spikenard and instinctive be
lier. Home day, when the heart
aches, she will brew content from
these.
'.There aro harriers which bc may
hot pass, secret treasures that he may
imt soe, dreams that he may not guess.
There are dark coiners where there
has been torture, of wliich he will
never kpow. There arc sba lows and
ghostly shapes which Penelope has
hidden with the rn'rest fabrics'nf her
loom. There are doors tightly locked,
which lie has no key to open: rooms
which have contained costly vessels,
empty and deep with dust.
"There is no other step than his,
for ho waiks there alone; sometimes
to the music of dead days and some
times to tlie laughter ol' a littlechild!,
The petals of crushed roses rustle at

"lt is a lender thing. So often is
it wounded that it cannot see another

"Vet, after all, it isa simple thing.
For In times of deepest doubt and

the tender look, the whispered word

old-time grace of the lover's way."
Gi?Raip and Slander.
Thc Atlanta News says gossip and
slander have grown apace since the
creeds of the old south were swept
away by war, and were clinked by the
gross materialism of the age. Virtue
on wagging tongues is held lightly and
character is of small esteem. Good
names are bandied in idle gossip and
fair reputi in man or woman is injured
in the careless whisper of the street.
Rumor robs like a highwayman and
slander stabs like a bandit with never
a code, save the doubtful process of
law, to make them afraid. The age
cf personal responsibility was the age
of purity and lhe age of courtesy, lt
had Its limitations and it can scarcely
be justified in tile law of God or mau.
Hut this much at least is true: That
in tlie time ol' its best expression it
must be set down as one at least of
tlie essential glories of the old south
that no man spoke lightly ot th? honor
ol' woman or of the good name ol' his
fellow-man.
A PitKNCii woman fell into a cata
leptic trance May 21, 188.'l, just after
giving birth to a child. All these

limbs rigid and in a profound lethargy.
Various doctors for a few years tried
all known remedies. They had a line

Itefnre thc waters of a mighty Hood
Pacolet, S. C., has been swept from
thc map and thc great cotton mills of
that place lind Clirtou, S. C., are
beneath the surface of a cloudburst's
onward rush, completely wiped out
by the storm. As thc Topeka disaster
was eclipsed by the Gainesville horror
so it now seems in turn that th : loss
of property if not of ll fe in thc Georgia
city will bc eclipsed by the great wave
of devastation which has swept
through and over the great milling
districts of Clifton and Pacolet with
such destructive violence.
Thc dark shadow of the storm sot
tied over Spartanburg Friday night,
hanging above the city like some grim
spectre of death. With increasing
vehemence the elements prepared for
their invasion of the doomed district
until the storm reached the propor
tions of a giant cloudursl when thc
downpour from thc black depths of
heaven swept away thc dams which
in turn settled into one vast, swirling
stream which roared throughout the
valley where the mills are situated
and thc rushing waters roared in
tri u in ph above houses and homes
whore only thc day before the spindle
and thc loom wore at work and a
thousand laborers were happy.
It is estimated that the property
loss will reacli ?2,000,000. At Pac
let thc following damage has been re
ported:
.Mill No. I has been washed com
pletely away.
Mill No. 2 totally destroyed.
Mill No. :t is partially destroyed.
The dams of the three mills arc
swept away and the waters rush un
checked through the wide gap thus
opened. Thc warehouse of Mill No.
1 with it total stock of goods and cot
ton was swept away, while the hotel,
the leading churches and almost every
building in the doomed little ci^y has
been swept away or totally destroyed.
Mill No. I at Clifton has gone down
before the rush of waters and Mill
Nd. - is moving before thc Hood with
only a question of time before it will
follow thc fate of the others.
Pacolet and Clifton arc situated in
the deli les of two valleys, between
lofty ranges ol' hills towering on either
side. Most of thc homes of the work
men are located in the valley with the
hillls in which they are laborers, hut
a few straggling dwellings skirt the
hillside above tho homes below. Only
the homes nu the hillside were saved,
as tho valley was (IO feet beneath a
mighty Hood, lt was just at dusk
that the tl rat approach of the storm
was noted Friday night. All thrungli
the day the drip and drizzle ol a dreary
rain had fallen but as the afternoon
wore ou the sky grew darker and
nightfall fell fast.
.lust at thc hour when the sun
should have been setting behind the
western hills the storm broke over the
doomed valley in all its fury. For
over! bonis the terrille downpour con
tinued ii. all the fury or a giant cloud
burst and tile angay waters soon
loosened thc fastening of the dam
above thc mills and humps of the ter
ror .stricken families who, peering
with white faces and terror-stricken
looks ouL into the blacky pitchness of
the night, knew little of tlie doom
thal lmng over them.
Just above the valley three dams
are localed, equal distance apart, one
above the other. Slowly but surely
t he li ist dam gave way before the
surge of waters which took on renewed
force ai toe storm continued. The
works of man soon gave way before
the dread onslaught of heaven and
with thc total destruction of the tirst
dans the two remaining fell in swift
succession. With thc last dam down
there was nothing between the be
leagurcd little valley with its people,
homes and factories but thc rubbish
in the pathway and the slight barrier
of trees and fences.
The Hood of angry waters hit the
villages of Pacolet and Clifton with
terrille force. Homes were swept
away by the onward ebb of the rush
ing current like straws upon the
bosom of a stream. There was no
drift to tlic water but a mighty rush
that carried all before it. Factories
and churches, houses, homes, public
buildings, all su tiered the same fate.
A greater number of thc homes were
located on the hill-ode and these,
located as they were above the patli
bf the storm, were saved from destruc
tion. Following thc storm a heavy
gale arose which swept along in the
path of the cloudburst adding terror
to the fearful havoc already wrought..
The scene ot* devastation is almost
complete.
The latest news indicates that thc
loss of life and the damage to proper
ty will he appalling. Thc detailed
loss is not obtainable as yet, but the
most conservative estimates put loss
Of life in the neighborhood of one hun
dred and damage to property at
something over two million dollars.
At Clifton the drowned are said to be
in thc neighborhood of Hf ty.
It seems thc river rose with a
startling suddenness and destroyed
the mills along ifs banks before the
people of the conni y had hardly re
alized what was happening. Not
only t he mills lint all the railroad and
county bridges have been washed
away. The Southern railway bridge
near here, thc highest and strongest,
between Atlanta and Washington, is
down and traille on the road has been
tinned around by Columbia.
A special from Clifton says the Con
verse mill, which had 51,000 spindles,
is entirely gone. Fifty people have
been drowned there. Names are not
obtainable as yet, but there is little
doubt that this number has perished.
11 is feared that even more will bc
found when the waters of the river
have receded sulliclciitly to allow the
rescue work to be prosecuted. Four
thousand people arc thrown out of
work by the destruction of the Con
verse mills alone.
