The hurricane which ]msse<l
through this section on October 12th. I
18th ami 14th, was one of those
strange and unaccountable freaks of
nature that at times break cut ai d,
regardless of precedents, make a
record that beats all previous one?
and upsets all theories.
The hurricane of last week in this
section was very similiarto the August
hurricane, the wind starting
from the same quarter, northeast,
and gradually increasing with the
greatest velocity attained from a
point very near the South.
The August storm center passed
considerably to the westward of
South port while the center of the
storm last week passed through this
place.
In reviewing the features of the
hurricane of last week, four points
especially present themselves, the
low barometer, the unusual October
wind velocity, the extreme high tide
and the extraordinary anchorage
quality possessed by this harbor.
The character of last weeks storm
can he judged when it is stated that
the barometer fell to 28 90, the
1 ~1 ? -
n'wweu point ever rccortiecl at tins
place.
October is not a month for very
severe storms at this point on the
South Atlantic Coast, tho previous
record for highest velocity of wind
being fifty-one miles an hour, on October
4th, 1870.
When this record is taken into I
consideration, tho record of last
week nine-four miles an hour, with
a single minute record of one hundred
and fifteen miles, it needs no
demonstration to show tho unusual
character of this October hurricane.
The unusual liigh tide which prevailed
during the August hurricane
at Southport was greatly exceeded
by the tide of last week, being approximately
three feet above high
mark, and said by those living here
to exceed in height any tide during
the past fifty years.
Tho day of criticism oo Southport's
harbor as an anchorage ground
is past.
During tho entire storm five
schooners and a hark, with hardly
enough room to swing clear on tho
turn of the tides, rode out at anchor,
in safety a hurricane blowing nine
ty-tour miles an hour, the only accident
being the less of tho iibhooms
? J
of <1 schooner and bark which came
together in sheering, caused by tho
tide.
The test was a sevore one but it
amply proves that South port has the
Best and Safest Harbor with th
most secure Anchorage Ground of
any port on the Sauth Atlantic or
Gulf Coasts.
AT WILMINGTON'.
A Wilmington, X. 0., special
says: The oldest inhabitant was forced
to admit that the terrific outburst
of wind and wave that swept
through the city surpassed any storm
in his day or generation. Friday
night was stormy. There were fitful
showers and violent gusts of wind
that fore-tokened the furious gale
that followed early Saturday morning,
and that increased as tho day
wore 011 until tne climax of the hi#
blow was reached, near midday.
The tide was tho highest known
even in the memory of tho oldest
resident, being sixteen inches above
the high-water mark registered and
and recorded in 1853, which had
surpassed all previous known records,
it is believed, since the deluge.
Many business houses and dwollings
were Hooded, and shipping sustained
heavy damages. No lives are reported
lost. The total loss in tho immediate
section is about $150,000.
The storm seemed to havo spent
its force befoie it reached Savannah,
Gn. The city bore its usual appearance
Friday morning, scarcely a treo
or a sign being out of place. The
indications before the storm reached
tho city were that it would bo far
more severe than it was, as tlio wind
at Tituaville, Fla., on Wednesday,
was fiftv-six miles an hour and the
swell on Tybee bar was the heaviest
that has been seen in years. But

The following graphic description
of the recent storm, published by
Jtcrmission in the News and Courier,
ms written by a talented young
ladv, an eye witness of the seeno
rrom wont island, to a friend in
Charleston!
"We thought the other storm
dreadful, but oh, it was nothing to
compare with this. Harry left the
seashore yesterday morning, tio one
anticipating any danger there. By
o clock at night the tide was very
high, and by 10 the house had to be
abandoned. We stayed as long as
we could, as I and uncle were afraid
to trust the small leaky boat to the
raging sea that divided us from the
mainland. Before we left the water
was waist deep in the house. The
front was all gone and most of the
doors, and the whole structure
creaked and shook and seemed about
to come in. Harry's house with
everything in it was swept away
before our eyes as we sat in the boat
holding it to the house with our
hands on the roof. Then for two
hours we battled with the waves try
"'fe w gci mci tin) snort distance
to the woods. LJnole steered while
wo girls rowed, and still though wo
made almost super-human efforts,
the boat was beaten towards Crah
Hall, and the waves threatened to
swamp us every minute. When wo
reached the woods the water there
was too deep to wade. After awhile
the men got out and dragged the
boat, sometimes holding on to the
boat while we rowed. Then we got
out and waded ashore."

made to find the bodies of tho unfortunates
who perished in tho flood.
Some of tho bodies recovered were

The havoc wrought was great, and
scores of people are in absolute want.
Contributions for tho relief of these
unfortunate people may be sent to

Senators Who Fight tor and
Against Repeal and Relief.
Washington Dispatch N, V. World.
The President feels that he lias
dor.o his duty; that he has endeavored
to carry out the enunciation of tho
Democratic platform and to relievo
tho business interests of the country.
The responsibility for further action
rests witli Congress.
Some of the Senators who have
supported the administration aro
trying to find a way out of the difficulty.
It is known that the President
will liot sign any measure that
is a compromise of the principle involved.
That principle is that the
government shall cease tho purchase
of silver bullion. That was the
purport of his message, and that was
the declaration of the Democratic
platform. Every concession, of this
principle must bo avoided by the
compromising Senators, if they would
succeed in framing a measure that
would he signed by Mr. Cleveland.
It is probable, however, that an effort
will bo made to secure an
agreement upon which most of the
Democratic Senators will unite. The
agreement most talked about provides
for the postponement of the
time when the bill shall go into
effect. It is deemed osscntial that
the issue should not exist when the
time comes for the election of the
Representatives to the Fifty fourth
Congress. Some of the friends of
repeal believe that if there be any
postponement it should not he for
a longer timo than to July 1, 1894,
the otul of tho present fisical year.
Most of the Southern Democrats

j who uro considering the matter are j
I inclined to believe that the post- j
ponoment ought to be until Jan. 1,
181)5, another indication of the dif-!
1 liculty of reaching an agreement.
This provision of postponement by
a further provision that the Secretary
of the Treasury should have authority
to issue hoods for the nmintuinenco
of the gold reserve. It is for- j
gotten, apparently, that the Seere .
tary has no money for tins purpose. I
It is said by people who are in a po- i
sition to know that such an agreement

reseutatives. The question whether j
the President would consent is np j
patently not considered. The move i
nient for agreement must go on
witliout the co-operation of the administration.
The Senators who
are managing the matter are trying
to reach a conclusion which will
unite the Democrats of the Senate,
and which will not surrender the
principles involved in the Wilson
and Voorhces bill. If the Southern
Democrats will join in tiie agreement
the bill will probably pass the
Senate at least, perhaps the House
also. Just now everything depends
upon the Southern Domocrats. That
their disposition is now wholly hostile
to their old party associates was
shown on many votes taken during
the long continuous session. These
votes wore cast in according with an
agreement reached last Sunday at
the conference of silver Senators.
The following are the Senators
who were present at that conference:
Harris, Call, Bate, Jones, Berry,
Walthall, (leorge, Vest, Cockrcll,
Pasco, and Blackburn, Of these
only three declared their purpose to
aid the mining camp Senators tilibuter.
These three were Call, Jones
and Cockrcll. Besides those named
above, who agreed to help maintain
a quorum, Mr. Voorhces on a call
of the Senate.
Colquit, Irby, Morgan, Pugb, and
Vanco were not invited to the confererence.
as thev wore sunnosed to
' . ^ ri ~
be irreconcilables. From this it
would appeal that hero is hope yet
from an appeal to the patriotism of
the Southern Senators and to their
loyaly to their section.
The following is the list of the
Senators who did not vote on any
roll call after the begining of the
contest of physical endurance: Allen,
Bntler, Chandler, Cockrell, Colquitt,
Dubois, Gibson, Ilansbuig,
Irby, Jones (Ark.) Jones (Nov.),
Mitchell (Ore.), Morrill, Powor,
Pugh, Shoup, Teller, White. Call,

Of those twenty, one (Allen) is a
Populist; nine are Democrats and
ten arc Republicans; three?Gibson,
Morrill and Wilson?are for repeal
Colquitt, Mitchel, Morrill and Wilson
were absent by reason of their
serious illness. None of these has
filibustered, except, perhaps, Colquitt,
so that the real obstructionists
would seem to be only eleven.

They were both present in the chamber

There is no better medicine for
family use than Ayer's Cathartic

them easy and even agreeable to

wcwuu nun way, aim me names grow

and I do believe there is something
in it. There were live presidents

and all the Jims we knew sit school
were hoys of eharsioter?strong in
force and will, though not overly
pious. Vou remember Jim Wilson
suul Jim Msiltbie and Jim Craig and
.Jim Smith and big Jim Dunlap, who
still lives as tho typical son of old
Gwinnett. lie was older than
Our set, but wo looked up to him and
could silways hear him before he
came in sight, lie was si Jim dandy
then and he is yet.
I know a nice lady, si preacher's
wife, who ssiys she married her husband
only because bis name was Jim,
and she still calls him Mr. <11111 with
conjugal unction. Jim ought to lie
a preacher's name for St. James was
one of the twelve and King .James
gave us our version of the sacred
scriptures. _
It was mingled with feeling of
pleasure and sadness that I read you
late biography in the Constitution
of pleasure because of the well-deserved
tribute that the writer paid
you ns a time honored citizen of
Atlanta, and for your long professional
service there. Of sadness
because it reminded me how few of

Let's talk about the dear old times
a little while for wo are getting

wo all that are left of the boys wo
mingled with in our early youth?
Sad, isn't it? Wo had scores of playmates,
hut old Father Time has cut
thorn down, the old rascal. The
Maltbries and Winns and Cruigs and
Wilsons and Terrcls and Shacklefords
and Youngs and Itampos, are
all dead. And tho boys who camo
from abroad to tho instituto?are
there any left but Tom Norwood?
Tho Lintons are all dead, I know;
Sam and John and Jim, and so are
tho two Harris boys, and Ed. and
John Goulding and tho Holts, all except
Thud, the mischievous rascal.
He is living yet in Alabama, not far
from Montgomery. Did i ever tell
you that it was Thad and Jim Linton
who stole your father's beo gum
one night and got stung so had they
had to drop it and run for their
1 ives? The Hoylos are dead, too,
and the Allans?Thomps and Bill?
what a glerious fellow was Thompson
Allan. Don't You remember
how ho licked Martin del Gardo
because Martin licked me? Martin
was a big boy and I was a little one,
and Thomps dared him to tackle a
hoy of his size, and ho tackled. I
could just go on and say dead, dead
ovory time, And all of our teachers
are dead. Dr. Wilson and John
Norton and Cargill nod Dr. John
Patterson and McAlpine and John
Grap. They were all good men,
Jim, don't you remember Penolopo
McAlpine? What a sweet, pretty
girl she was and how she was my
sweatheart, and one day when Tom
Skegga called her Pennylope I bounced
him and wo lit and tore hair
mazing.
What makes everybody die, Dr.

only three or four in a hundred who
