BLOWN AWAY, i ________ 1 Pathetic Tragedy ot the Recent Storm in the Quit. M1NY LIGHT HOUSES Or Solitary Reefs tad Islands Were Twisted, Crumbled or Swept Into the Sea, aad Their Keepers and Their Families Made to Suffer. It was a tidal wave that wrought the direful havoc?that strange and awful marine phenomenon, mysterious of origin, whloh is the ever prosent dread of those who dwell along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The news dispatches have told of the mischief that wan done dnrlDgthe reoent series of hurricanes on that coast; of the enormous destruction of proporty, and of the great number of human lives lost. Hut in all this history of tragedy the most striking and romantic feature has been the literal wiping out of a whole series of light stations?the very outposts established by the Government to keep watch upou the storm Hands, and to restrain them from Inflicting preventable daruge. Not on any known ocact of any of the continents was there over the equal of this spectacle. Between the mouth of the Mississippi River and Mobllo, Alabama, no less than fortyfour lighthouse structures were either uprooted bodily and toppled Into the sea, or ro recked and twisted by the impact of the great wave that they are now uielfwn ruins. Whother they stood on the main land ooast or upon the islands that fringe it, none could withstand the weight of the dreadful wall of water. Tnough the skill and oxperionoo of Government engineers had heen exhausted and had been believed to have made these structures Impregnable to muoh tleroer pressures of wind and wavcB that had ever been recorded, this oafcaolysm oruahed, twisted And otherwise disabled them, or even obliterated with them the very shoals on whloh they stood. In most Instances, happily the keep ere of the lighthouses and their families either got away in their own b jats or were rescued; but In otber oases were not so lucky. Aooording to latest reports received by the Lighthouse Board at Washington, the light at East IVscagoula. is gone entirely, taougn at mat point tliecc was no loss of life. Hut this was owing to the extraordinary heroism and persistence of Master at Arms Peterson and cjuartermaster Peterson, of tho United States revenue cutter Winona. When the Wlnpna fcrriT d otf the P&soagou la light there was nothing left tuvthe tower, which swayed like a Hag staff in a gale and threatened every moment to pltoh into the sea. I fc was soon seeu by the keeper whose wife and two bablea had sought refuge In the tower, that unl ss speedy relief was given them the> must bo lost. The two Petersons embarked In a email boat with other member of the crew, and after a desperate tight, with the waves readied the base of the tower. The keeper throw to them from the top a lino, whloh he had carried up. One after the other the two Potersona climbed up the rope, whloh dangled from the tower. The wind reached them, hurled them against the building with such foroe as to bruiae them badly, and they wero Bdveial times almost comrtallnri t.n lr>nR<* f-.HMr hnlrl ??a? r?..Vv. vw *WMV V??VI* U'/iVi U^/U.U the rope, but tboy finally reached the top, and then thty lowered to the men waiting below, first the two babies, then the keeper's wife, and then the keeper himself. When all these had been saved, the two moo slid down the rope and returned to the Winona. At Sand Island the dwelling of the keeper has disappeared, together with all tfce other buildhigs on the island. No) only this, but the island itself has vanished. There is no longer suoh a piece of terra flima ar* Sand Island; and only & bent and twisted tower, torn half asunder midway of Its height, to show that while it was being undermined oo one side the great wave struck Its top on tho other, remains to mark the spot. Horn I-hand, too, is gone; &ud hero a dreadful tragedy was onaoted. For it appears that tho keeper and his wife were both drowned, together I with two daughters and a little granddaughter. Tue tidal wave came and overwhelmed them; and at this mo ment there In a deep channel where the Island formerly was. Incidentally, of course, the lighthouse has vanished. The keeper of the Horn lslaud Light was a hardy Swede named Charles Johnson, and his assistant was his good wife, Kate. She had proved herself efficient In more than one past emergeney, and as a reward she was appointed not long ago to assistant keepership at $440 a year: Her husband's salary was $770 per year so the two together received $1,110. In addition they enjoyed an allowance from the Government of three oords of firewood, delivered every twelve months. In some cases the Government provides lighthouse keepers with rations but only when they are so situated as to be unable to obtain food suppllee. 114k.''. J? j In this way groceries, oared meats, lome kind of oanned goods are furnished. but the station kept by Johnsons, while somewhat remote was not Inaccessible; they visited the mainland oooaslonally, when the weather was good, and having at their dlspos al a small pateh of tillable soil olose by the lighthouse, they were able to raise suoh fresh vegatables as they needed. Besides, the fishing ln the neighborhood was exoellent. Thus, being provided with a dwel ling to lire ln?for the big lantern that warned mariners of dangers far out In the Gulf formed a sort of oupola to their house?the Johnsaons were able te get along very oomfortably. The light whloh it was their business to tend, wss one of the "fourth order" not revolving, but so arranged that a red streak was thrown across the part of the nearby waters whloh was especially dangerous?the white light, on the other hand, Indication bo the mariner the way to safe ty. Storms are frequent alone the coast, and the Johnsons were bo far accustomed to the raging of the elements that even a hurricane could not fright en them. Perhaps the moit pathetic part of the story which ended so tragically for them is the Incident of the Government tugboat, which offered to rescue them when it was not yet too late?though at no little risk to the crew of the tug. They refused, being convinced they wore in no serious pelil. But, of oousre, they reokoaed not upon the tidal wavo, whioh half a dor,en hours laier tore the iBlanrt bodily from Its moorings, so to epeak.anrl distributed the frag moots of home and Ughthouso ovar the waters of the Gulf. Peril, when one is habitually ex posed to It, becomes uo far a matter of course that little attention is paid to it, Under such elrcumlances a man?or, iudoed, a woman?goes about the routine duties of life without paying muoh attention to the danger, however Immincut. The edge of f ar Is dulled by the coutln uai preaen?o of the oiuse; for thus, If explanation be asked, are human beings constituted. No better Illustration of this fict can be found than Is furnished by the people who dwell In the lonely lighthouses along the Gulf ooast, whloh within the last few days have baen so ruthlossly aaaalled by the Storm King. They have two things to fear, the hurricane and the tidal wave? thDugh in reality the two are ono, for the tidal wave appears to b9 at least tho bastard ofliprlng of the Wind Demon. A direful parent truly 1 One learns from the reports of the Woathor llureau that during tho recent series or storms which wroaked suoh havoo along the shores of the Gulf States the wind at* tainod a velocity of one hundred and thirty five miles an hour.

OF REV. BABC JONES. At Recorded in the Baptist Courier by the Rev. A. W. Lamar, Baptist Preacher. Scjcn ON*. Some ten years ago Sam Jones made up his mind that he would have to change his base of operations and leave Cartersvllie. His burdens had become very great by reason of the large number of people in GarWsvllle and in the oounty who were depend ing on his generosity. They waylaid him at* the train when he was expeot ?d to arrive; they way-laid him on his way to the train; they way laid him at his hem?; so he decided to make a move. He went over to Marietta and bought a ten thousand dollar home and paid two thousand d> wti to secure the trade. He went homo and told his wife that whrn he returned from his next evAngohsfclc trip, she must be ready to make the move. la the meantime, the news of his removal got out in Cartersvllle, and upon Sam's return home, his wife met him at the.door of his home and sa'd "Husband, the house la full of people. The pp.rlor is full of white people, and the dlniug room la full of negroes. f?J*rv oil lir.ro frr> i<; v nil uviv KW your leaving Cartersvliie. You would better go right In and sec them." So flftm went In'.o the parlor. The bink ers, and merohanfcs, fend teachers, and preachers, and lawyer**, and doctors, arm prinolpal oitiziua wero all thcie. One of them aa spokesman said In aubstanee: "Mr. Jones, we have come to enter our protect against your loavIng Cartersvliie. You belong to us. You have spont your life hero and wo all love you, and we cant stand your leaving ub. Wa feel you ought not to go, but should spend your remaining days among us." Sam thanked them all and dismissed the meeting. 11c then repaired to the dining-room where he found the leading negroes, merchants, teachers, preachers and laborers. The leading negro said In substance: "Mr. Jones, we don't know whether you care muoh about us niggers, but before the Lord we all love you. There is not & nigger In this oommuulty that would harm a hair on the head of one of your family; there Is not a nigger In tills county but would set up all night with his musket and guard your home from harm if he know it was threatened; there Is not a nigger In this county what kuowB you but loves you. You'se been a father to us and our best f riend. Many of us were converted In your Tabernacle meetings and wo owe everything to you. We dcea hate to see you leave Cartersvliie. It will be hard on ua llQOr nlai/nrn If vnn a ? - n ? " I * / M w us. Mr. Jones, If you must go Mid will go, wa will try to be.tr it as well aa wo can, bub we have come to beg you for the Lord sake, if you will go not to fcpko your wife with you. Mr. J one#, she is the guardian augol of this community. Jf t>?ero la any poor, white people or any poor nfg^ora in troublo, she is there. Sha Is the mluI iter lug auge!. For the Lord sake, leavo her with uh if you must go." Sam sat down and cried like a boy and the negroes cried with him. Finally wheu ho could control his emotion lie said, "Niggers, let's pray I' They all foil on their kno 8 and pray, ed and as tliey rose Sam said, "Niggers, I ain't gwlno. I'll stay right, here in (Jartersvllle till I go to heav* en," He was well loved in Ills home town. Everybody knew that however hard the blows he'd strike for the homes of the people, for civic righteousims and for Go 1, they know he v;as great hearted and loving as a little child. Scene Two. Some years ago S im Jones held a meeting with the leading Methodist church in Llt'do R )ok. In his characteristic style he went for the fashion and the frlvolty and the worldli- i noES of the "Sawclety folks," many of whom wore in that church. They I were much scandalised and offended as folks of that class often were with his denunol&tlons of their doings. Some two or more years thereafter, Sam was to hold a union meeting the.ro and some of the " principals brothren" went to their young piw wu* x b?iu, irasiiwr, are you tfOtug into the Jones meeting?" "Yes," slid he, "I am why do you auk? ' "Why," H%ld they, "When Mr. Jones was here before he scandalized us b?fore t is coDcmuD.b \?ad hold us up to rldiculo' and we can't stand for ouch treatment, vv? have come to ask you uot to go into that mooting. You arc a promising young man, and you are vory popular with this ttiifvrOik ar?rl If", lulil 4, 4 " (>uvf>u ????u iu nm 11' J UU .VIJUT KSPU11" nessif you go against thalr feeling lu this matter. Wo wish you would not do It." The y uag man said "I'll ' tell you what 1*51 do. You all moot mo In my siudy to-morrow night and I'll give you my reasons for believing I should go Into the J ones meeting for all I rm worth, and after I've told you if you still believe as you do, 1 will not do it." They agreed and the next night they were all on band. The young preaoher said. "Years ago my father, a Methodist circuit rider, died suddenly in Oeorgla and left my mother with us six children and nothing In the world except the plttanoe the conference provided for the widow and the orphans. My mother went to the country town and found that she oould get a house for 91,500, and by taking boarders she might be able to keep her children with her and educate and rffise them until they were old enough to help. I wis a lad of fourteen. But where to get that fifteen hundred dollars mother did oot know. Finally she wrote to Brother Sam Jones, whom s he knew wis my fathers friend, and asked him if he omild put put her In the way of borrowing the money on long time till she could pay for It gradually. The mall soon brought a letter from Brother Jones enclosing his personal oheck for fifteen hundred dollars as a gift to my mother. Thus, she was able to keep her family together and when I wanted to study for the ministry, Brother Jones beoame my father and saw me through oollegei Now, If you thins I ought to go back on a man of Qod like that, you all say so." They all hung their heads 1 At heart, they were good men. The tears began to fill their eyes and finally the leading brother who had been most prominent In opposition to Sam said, Lat us pray," They fell on their knees and their hearts were broken up. When they arose they all took the young pastor by the hand and said, "Go into the Jones meeting, piustor, and we will back you for all we are worth." And they did. Death of an Kdltor, Editor Paul Price, of the Record, one of the best known newspaper men in South Carolina, for years connect- | ea wrca various newspapers In Cjlumf.ia ac* known generally by public men of the state, died Wednesday morning at an early hour at his homo in WlntjSbor>, of cancer of the ton gue, after ft long and tedlotid Ulnoes. Mr. Brtoe wis 43 years old. One of the re'curkable features cf Mr. Brice's last illuesa was the splendid grit and tier ?e bo dlsp'a*ed In sticking to his work. He almost literally died In harness. He was regularly at work In bis offloo until Nov. 3, resting occa sicnally on a cot he kept by the side of his desk. Even after this ho kept up his work in hi* room. The last edltOilal he over wroto appeared In the Record Nov. 15, under the caption, "The Castellan? Divorce," and was clear, strong and logical, as if he were In the best of health. lie knew that death w&s creeping toward, inch by lnob yet he uovor faltered. Mr. Brioe was a Mason and an Elk. He Is survived by a father, a stepmother, two balf-slittrs and three full brothers. The brothers are Ribert E. W., Oicftr and J. Clifford Brioe. Another fc'lro at Hpringllold.

Elevon players were killed and 104 were injured in the United States during the football season of 1900, according to tne Chicago Tribune. The figures are compared with tho eausu&iitleB of 1905, when 18 players wer? killed and 156 were severely injured, and according to The Tribuno show that "debrutallz3d" football has accomplished in a large degree the obj?oi aimed at, in rendering the game less dangerous to life and limb. The decrease in oasualities is oopooially marked among high school players. In 1905, eleven high school players were killed and 47 Injured, while in the season just closed seven were killed and 26 wese hurt. All oolleges and high school frames this vp.nr were ylaycd under Uio new rules drawn up after the olose of last season to satisfy the agitation for less dangerous football. This year not one fatality has oooured in the games played by the larger American colleges. President Bponoer's Address.

"Savoyard," the well known Washington (Correspondent, writes: Ben Tillman is bluff, blunt, honest, Intensely Southern and Intensely Amor* lean. He oan get more votes In Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and Minnesota than William Jennings Bryan or William Randolph Hearst and 1 make no doubt that against the man the Republicans are likely to nominate he can get a but oh of eleo toral votes out of that squad. And whv not? His only fault la that he speaks the truth. Oan >ou find other in him? I have tried and failed. Will some gentleman put me on traek of one? There he is, standing up before the American people, his heart on his sleeves, and all oan see that he would not flatter Neptune for his trident nor Jove for his power to thunder. He too, would carry a big stiok and a deok of cards. Not as able a man as Bailey, perhaps; not as cultured amto u Williams, certainly; not as self poised as Culberson, manifestly; he has more of the human In him than any one of them, and with him Christ would have sat at meat.

It has been demonstrated that Mr. Bryan oan not unite it. It was shown that Judge Parker could not unite It. It 1*? clear that Mr. Hearst can not unite It. Any man at the North who would vote for any of these three would vote for Ben Tillman?that is to Bay, unless Mr. Hearst should run as an Independence League candidate, as he probably will. And If ho docs he will poll as many Republican votes aa he will Democrats. Certaih it is, the country is tired, the times are out of joint. For the Republican party the returns are ominous. The election was not a vote of confidence in even the Rooee velt administration?certainly not in tho G. O. P. It is also here that the returns say to the Denooor^ts in every language and in every dialect of every language: "You are tco big a fool to be given place and powor at this time." Put Ben Tillman on a safe and sane platform and Jet him tour the North, spitting out the truth as only he can do It, and wo would see a good many things in the returns you wot not of.
