LOWER CHEROKEE.
Charleston. Oct
I.—A force of men
was put to work today to clear the
str*e.s of the Trees and branches,
pole: and broke i fences and debris,
which littered the pavements as a
result (ii tee Sturm. The sound of
the axes and hammers did not seem
like a Sunday. The linemen were also
bu repairing The wires. Between
800 .and telephones are out of
operation as a result of the storm.
On the seashore division of the Con-
solid‘ted Railway company twenty-
seven pole- were blown down ami the
springing of th draw of the long
bridge fro n Mount Pleasant to Sul
livan's Isla id prevente-? the operation
of the line on the mornin^ and mid
day trips of the ferry.
Two houses in Atlanticville, the
more exposed uppor portion of Sulli
van.: island, wev? h own down. The
’ rose so high that the waters of
the ocean and the c eek jehind Sul-
li'-an’s Isk.m! met during the night,
covering the island Manv of the res
idents who had hastily deserted their
homes returned to the island this af
ternoon. The tide was very hjgh
again today as a result of the north
east wind- and the disturbance off
shore flooding the low sections of the
city and preventing ingress and
egress from many homes.
Carpets and furniture on the first
floor of not a few homes have been
ruined. Cisterns and wells have been
ruined with salt water and wiil have
to be pumped out.
Along East and South Battery the
fashionable section of the city, the
waves shot over the sea walls last
n’^ht in great volumes, presenting a
thrilling and grand view, which was
witnessed by many people, who don
ned rubber coats and old clothes.
More venturesome men amused them
selves bv standing on the sea wall and
being swept bv the wind and waves
from the wall to the inside shell
walks and l^Ans of the beautiful
park at the confluence of the two
rivers.
A phenomenon of the storm was the
electric display which occurred when
the storm was at his height. The
same thing occurred during the Mo
bile storm recently, which is ex
plained by Forecaster Grant to be due
to the fact that Charleston was in the
very center of the disturbance. An
other feature of the storm was the
remarkable low and rapid decline of
the barometer, reaching 28.17 inches,
when the height of the storm was on.
The wind blew generally today at
eighteen miles an hour, its maximum
force being thirty miles at 11 A. M.
Forecaste% Grant does not look for a
greater velocity tonight. Much anx
iety is felt for shipping. Reports of
wrecks are now expected.
Georgetown in Grasp of Storm.
Georgetown. Oct. 20.—This city was
struck by another hurricane Satur
day morning, which, while not as de
structive thus far as the one of Sep
tember 17th. is liable to become so at
any moment. The wind is raging at
the present, time, blowing at the rate
of sixt- miles an hour Heavy guests
of rain accompany the wind, and
traffic and passage in the streets is
almost suspended and the lumber
mills are shut down. Telegranh wires
are down, and no communication can
be had except by the rails.
Three Drowned at Beaufort.
Beaufort. Oct. 21.—A high wind is
blowing from the northwest and the
barometer has dropped to 29.50. the
lowest in ten years. Telephone con
nections are cut off and the telegraph
wires went down at 6 o’clock this
evening.
A sail ferry boat plying between
Beaufort and Ladles’ Island swamped
late this afternoon with six men and
four women, all negroes. Three wo
men were drowned. A skiff from a
pilot boat anchored in the stream, in
charge of Tom Washington, a negro
sailer, rescued the other passengers
at eonslderab' risk.

Columbia Add* Another Progressive
Company to Her List.
The Columbia State of Sunday con
tained the following concerning one
of Gaffney’s progressive business
men:
“The Schnapps Bottling company
has been organized by Messrs. E. H.
Gaines, J. B Friday and J. W-. Lil-
lard with a capital of $5,000.00. In
connection with the manufacture of
Schnapps Ginger Ale and other bever
ages. the gentlemen have leased the
well-known Geiger’s Boiling Springs.
The chief idea being to use this ex
cellent water in making everything
the company will bottle. But the
water will also he delivered, in suit
able bottles, to homes and offices in
Columbia for drinking purposes.
‘Mr. Gaines is well known and pop
ular throughout South Carolina, hav
ing been for years district manager
for the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco com
pany. It was through the permission
of Mr. Reynolds himself that Mr
Gaines obtained the fse of the name
of “Schnapps” for his ginger ale and
he is now selling the syrup in every
State in the Union. He is a most ac
tive and successful business man and
Columbia does well to have him set
tle here with his new enterprise.
‘‘The other corporators. Messrs. J. B.
Friday and J. W. Lilian], are well
known business men of Columbia.”
Of course Mr. Gaines has no idea
of leaving Gaffney. He is simply
branching out and thinks Columbia a
good point to establish a branch
house of the ginger ale that is ’’mak
ing Gaffney famous ”

man on a train between Charlotte and
Savannah, was arrested here todav bv
Southern Railway detective Bishop
and Citv Detective Dunning, for the
theft of a diimond stud from the
clothing of a man named Sheftall,
proprietor of the Whitestone Hotsl,
who was on the sleeper going into
Savannah Thursday night.
The loss was reported to the rail
way people, who put Bishop on the
case. A search of Warr’s grip re
vealed the diamond and two pawn
tickets from a Savannah shop.
While the railroad detective was at
work on the oase the -Columbia po
lice received a telegram from Warr,

It is the natural and geographical
centre of what was formerly the
North Paco'et section of Union coun
ty but now the Union “cut off” of
Cherokee county. Its history dates
back to the early part of th« last
century and has always been a place
of mote. It is the largest polling pre
cinct in the qounty outside of the
towns. Fully 200 votes can he cast
there at anv election. The Wilkins
ville yil mill and ginnery has added
much to the business of the place,
and the thrift of the section around
it. It is about equi distant from Hick
ory Grove, Blacksburg. Gaffneyaml
Jonesville, and is a most desrffable
place for some of the newly proposed
railroads to tap and secure the pat
ronage of. Mr. C. W Whisonant
has been in the mercantile business
for upwards of thirty years and has
made a success. Mr. Boyce Whlso-
nant. the postmaster, is also manager
of store, and he is very popular
with his patrons. He has fine busi
ness qualifications. Nearly in sight
Mr. P. S. Webber and son are running
a successful mercantile business. Mr
Webber also runs a shop, where he
does all kinds of blacksmith work, as
well as buggy and wagon making and
repairing. All of which goes to show
the possibilities of Wilkinsville yet
being a place in which there is sub
stantial and permanent growth. Land
in this section can be bought at rea-
sonable prices and it is possible for
those seeking homes with a desire
of settling to be suited. The church
and school facilities are equal to any
country location. The water is both
good .and plentiful. The location is
healthy, and as for the law-abiding

Want the Annual Conference
Held in This City.
At a church conference held in
Buford Street Methodist church Sun
day morning a unanemous invitation
was extended to the South Carolina
Annual Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South, to hold its
session of 1907 in this city. The
other churches of the city and the
citv counsel join in the invitation.
There are over three hundred
Methodist ministers in the State who
will he present. About one hundred
twenty-five lav delegates and mem
bers of conference boards, besides
the secretaries from the connectiona!
offices in Nashville. Term., and Louis
ville. Ky/. editors of the general peri
odicals of the Southern Methodist
church.
The conference met last vear in
Spartanburg. Meets this year in Co
lumbia with the Washington Street
Methodist church.
Every citizen of Gaffney will he de
lighted to welcome the Methodist of
the State and it is safe to sav that
every home in the city, irrespective
of denomination, will be thrown open
to them if they come and everything
possible will be done to make their
stay in our midst both pleasant and
profitable.
The local church is to be con
gratulated on its thoughtfulness and
encouraged in its endeavor to bring
this able body of Christian workers
to Gaffney. We hope that the invita
tion will be accepted and that every
body connect -d with the church who
can possibly do so will attend the an
nual' conference.
