”L ■'■A* 1 THE OARUNGTON NEWS. THURSDAY, 8BPT. 16, 1886. •ETOffALD » EVA1VE EDITOB. CHARLESTON AS SHE LOOKED. On fritlaj last, we apent the day In ObarleatoQ. Arririnf there by the early morning train, joat about daylight, the fhmillar sound of the haekiaan , s voice gave evidence that Oharleston was atill op and doing. Walking from the Northeastern de pot down Richardson Street, the ftret signs of the earthquake were a aamber of tents constructed of blankets, quilts or cloth, and hats of cast off tin and rough boards, dot- tod about on the open spaces in the streets and lots, and heaped near the sMe walk or scattered at ran- dom, were bricks, ernmbled mortar, or the broken marble of some hand some residence, which made us in- voluntarily look np or step out into the middle of the street, for fear other wrecks might follow. Until you get to the middle part of East Rpy, about the Market line, no very great damage was apparent, but from there on down to the DeSans- sure bouse on East Battery the damage is tearful. The handsome store of W. M. Byrd was dowu with only the walls of the lower store left and the remains of a bat tered root. Many of the otbei buildings are damaged lu a like or lem degree. By this time the sleep ing City aeemed to etir nod on all aides men bbgan work, nod as we go on down, barricades on the aide walk, the eoand of the trowal, the hammer asd saw at thia early boar showed that Oharleston was not ritting disconsolate, but was bard at work to retrieve her disaster. Up Brand St. we go, and calling at the street door of the News and Cornier, are greeted with the wel come, in big letters, “Go off,” “Get out,” so wc got, jost in time to es cape a number of bricks which fel from the top of the roof. At the pdrk, ooUod Washington Square, we mm the tent life of the colore*] popolaticn hi nil itsgrotesquenees, the tents and hats made of every conceivable article which would maha a cover. The rain of the night before had prod need great discomfort and everything looked wet and boggy. Just in this neigh ho seen some of the Mins $ those of St. Micbael’s and the Main Station being most noticeable. Bricks were still fall ing from the corner of the church and the space between it and the Station House was barricaded and marked daogerooa. The day be- fotu, Mr. Beaely, the eextop, had al aleoc gone up Into the steeple and fiottyag that tbtfifoek bad run down, tklip and as tbependalnm to owing and continued ea4o,the nnirjured condition of thd steaple was assured. The reg ular police toroe in full uniform, tbe adrttioaai force enrolled for tbe time, aad the occasional passing scout oo horwbuck, furniehed by the Charleston Light Dragoons, Showed that Mq). Frost was folly up to the duties of the hour. Up Broad wo go and thence to Qussa, where is the old Cathedral lot, Wo see a eaog eaeampment of wait-tents arranged in military or dor. Protected in front by the Buodniins of the Cathedral and SU the other three sides by a heavy pjaak fence, here many of tbe white flunfHM of Charleston are camped, Roman 1st and Protestant alike, owing their safe quarters to tbe kindliness ot Rev. Father Daffy, imm whom the camp is aamad. Our nCkf route is down East Battery, where the moat de|igbtfril homes of Charleston are situated. With the of a sew residence on the every house wrecked and come w|ll have to bo polled On Sooth Bay, the damage is not so extensive apparently, bat Is tbe Mterier of the dwellings there k immense damage done, in among tbe oaks of White Point, the rising •on gleams with kindly ray on the white wall-tonta, where are housed, in nrore or less degree of comfort At the means et the occupants al lew, hundreds of white women end children, while out in the buy ride the ships it anchor, the receding tide sings a song of comfort, sud under tbe Battery wall the swal- fly and the denizens of earth water pursue their regular The camp is just awaken kg and from many a tent flap iasue the mothers, daughters and child- ren, seeking in their ruined homes, to prepare each meals aa m. Ere thia, the male por Jibe camp, are already hard ‘ ~ 1 what a blessed thing being compelled to work, none bat one who wituewed vity of Charleston last Fri day can conceive how r» citizens did wurk. Just a", this hour, sun rise, no evidence of disaster is seen, as far as the usual business of tbe city would show. With the excep tion of about 250 negro ou-n who were sitting or lying in the sun shine in tbe lower part of East Bay and at other points, tbe whole male population of tbe city seemed to be at work, and we suppose also moat of tbe female cleaning up slid put ting in order their household god?. Tbe street cars making their regu lar trips, the cotton compresses at work, the drays with their loads of eottou aud merchandise, the street venders, were all on full swing, while iu the stores that were not dangerous, the clerks were at their pO't* aud customers seemed to lie plentiful. One marked peculiarity was tbe extraordinary nomlier of drays loaded with lumber and oth er building materials, showing that extensive repairs were iu progress. The baker, ice and grocery wagons ran aa usual, but in certaio parts of the streets, tbe mixture of street cars, vehicles of all descriptions aud people on foot keeping*- to the mid dle of tbe street as far as possible, showed that there was danger on each aide. Every native seemed up to bis eyes in work and one oonld bear bat little talk of tbe earthquake and its effects. It was only by meeting personal friends and asking questions that we could get any information, and even then the feeling of thankfulness* for the preservation of life seemed to blot out tbe Consideration of pecuniary loss. Taking breakfast at tbe Pa- valion Hotel, everything seemed to be in good working order, from Mr. Wilson who kindly relieved ns of our toonqy, to the head waiter and the sab who served us with a full bil of fare cooked and served in tbe beet style of that popular caravan sary. Some ominous looking cracks in the dining bail showed the effects of the shake, bat since tbeu, arebi tecta have prononneed the bote perfectly safe. Our next visit was to the Citadel Green, now culle* Mariou Square. Here we foam that the damage to tbe Citadel was being repaired at a cost of f 1,200 and that it woald be ready fur the opening of tbe Session in October. Work on the Calhoun Moauumeut was in progress tbe huts aud tents of the colored population were be ing pulled down, a long row of sbeda on tbe east aud west sides of the Square having beeu provided, and a pipe from tbe water-mains, with a number of hydrants furnishing a plentiful supply of water. Tbe steeple of tbe Baptist Church, the apira of which had been tbrowu down iu the gale of last year, was cracked from top to bottom aud may have to be rebuilt. No other extraordinary damage was noticed in tbe snrroandiug buildings. Tbe fire department showed what effect discipline can have. Promp tly on Tuesday night on tbe first alarm given by the breaking of tbe alarm wires every engine was out, and tbe men standing to tbeir work were able to conquer the four fires which broke ont almost simultan eously iu aa many differeut parts of the eity. Ou Friday they were camped in different parts of tbe city, the engines and hose reels ou tbe street aide, tbe horses haltered ou open lots, next to the tents of the men, some of whom had beeu ou oontinnal duty since Tuesday oight. Juat after 12 o’clock noou the fire alarms oommenced to ring ou tbe bell, and citizens who were not in formed were mneb excited. It was simply a teat of tbe fire alarm telegraph, and a visit to the water works, ou George Street, sho wed that the works and the alarm sys- were in perfect order, thua relieving tbe acouting force of an immense amount of night riding. To relieve aotnal necessity a free distribution of rations bad been institated, bat on Friday, the abuses of the system having been disoov ered, this system was stopped aud another institated which will sap ply only actual want, and the ays is so established as to reach every one, white or colored in the eity who need aid. As to tho damage done to pro perty, no description which we have yet read can give any idea. Three fourths of the brick bouses, and many ot tbe frame booses are dis- troyed or badly damaged, and it will coat at the lowest estimate over 5,000,000 to repair damages Oharleston doea not complain aud has not yet asked help, but she needs It, and all over tbe United States, tbe feeling of n common brotherhood has produced liberal oontribntiona. All bail I fair city by the sea, may her present trials be but the beginning of a bright and prosperous future. We, along with umuy of o«n readers, will see with feelings or regret, that Oapt. W. O, Coker lias declined to remain any longer iu political life. fUs reasons, we are assured, are good and conscientious, but by his action Darlington Coun ty and the tState will lose one of the best men, who has ever graced tbe St*te House We ho|»e that the financial precepts so ably given by Capt Coker during three terms, will still be heeded by the financial committee, ami that his successor at the end of his term, w. y merit tbe same “well done,” so universal ly given to Senator Coker. The Democratic Executive Com mittee met in tbe Court House ou Monday, and issued a call lor a convention, on Tuesday. Oct 12, to nominate one Senator, four mem bers of the House of Itepi esetita- tives, aud tor all county officers, except Sheriff and Clerk of Court The candidates for Legislative honors are expected to reply iu open convention to sncli questions as may be put to them on the lead- iug political issues, before a ballot is entered into. Clubs are entitled to representation us formerly. iNormal Institute. The County Institute tor colored teachers convened on August 30, in tbe colored school house of this place. Ou the first dav 21 teach ers were enrolled ami tbe number continued to increase until about tbe middle ot the second week there were 42 on the list The teachers were punctu d in their sttciidanoe and very mittcntive. The singing conducted by differeut members of tbe institute was always good am. very creditable to tboae who had it in charge. The exercises covered iu tbe muiu tbe same scope as those for the white teachers. But there were more clans dnlls, and perhaps a more practical application of the princi|des underlying the teaching of the differeut brandies. Speels stress was laid on Beading, Lan guage, School Organisation am School Management. In reading, Appleton’s 3rd Reader was use* and such points as the Word am Sentence methods, Word-ca ling, how to render phrases, ami the an alysis of tbe paragraph with the view of getting at the m-nxe were dwelled oil trom day to day. In connection with reading the lan guage idea was also made piotni neut, as conversational exercis.-s about pictures, tho reproducing of lessons and sentence writing iu con nection with word-calling Through- ont tbe entire coarse ot instruction on this most important subject this idea was made pr uitMeut, namely, that thought controls expression. All machine reading and rote work was discouraged. Oue of the special features in this connection was the drill ou sounds ot letters adapted to the pe culiar wants ot the colored people of this section of the State. Many words and combinations of words were pat on the board and the class drilled in their correct protiui cia lion. If the teachers present will follow tbe directions their pup'ls will no longejsay/o’ tor /our, and yaller for yellow. In Language stress was laid on sentence writing, reproducing oral ly and written, and on writing on special themes. Pupils always be first taught triiaf to say and'then koto to say it—first orally then writ tea. Illustrations, iu an elementary way, were also given ou the subjects of Uistoiy, Geography and Arith metic. Ou these subjects Dr. Baer insisted that tbe subjects slionld be taught and simply any given book on ttn se subjects. Au iuteiestiug feature of the ses- siou was a debate on Monday even iug, the 6tb, on “Resolved that the people ol tbe United States owe more to their warriors than to their statesmen. ” Tbe debaters on the affirmative were Mrs. Amanda Ma tiu and McCoy, aud on tbe negative Mins ■ — Melver and Rev. J. Woft'ord White. The sub jeet was exceedingly well handled Some of the speakers were quite eloquent. The decision as to tbe merits of the arguments was ren dered by three judges appointed iu favor of tbe affirmative. There was also a record kept on the subject of errors This was in tavor of the negative, the affirmative having five errors aud tbe negative three Another feature of the institnte was the earthquake session ou Tues day evening. These exercises were arranged by the director with a view of leading facts about earth quakes at a time when all were in terested iu tbe subject, on the prin ciple of strike while the iron is hot. Mrs. Nixon bad charge of tbe mu sic, and tbe following participated and most ot them with great credit to themselves aud the institute: Miss Jennie Williamson read an es say on the history of earthquakes iu general, and in particular ou tbe Lisbou earthquake iu 1755. Mrs. Amauda Martiu recited “The Wonderful Oue Hoss Shay.” Miss Ida Keith the “Builders,’’ Mr. W. C. Rush the “Student.” Miss Addie Hart read au essay on the reoent earthquake as detail ed by the press of tbe day, laying particular stress ou tbe affliction it brought on Obarlestou. Mr. J. B. Middleton made some remarks in whieh he expressed bisopiuiou that t was tbe hand God. Dr. Baer drew a sketch on the board representing tbe crust of the earth and explained the cause of earthquakes and also the directum ks* a e clsi ud tbeir pecuttpr | soldiery a valued friend.

That #Copf^ot these resolhticsw be sent to the tamiiy of our late comrade, and that they be publish ed iu the News and Courier and The Darlington Nkw$. The resolution were adopted by a rising vote. Attention Farmers ! Editor Darlington News : There will be a mass meeting o? farmers, at Lydia,' on the 17th in stant. Their rights as citizens aud their interests as tillers of the soil, will be discu.-sed by Mr. B R. Till man ; a man conscious of bis rights and fearless to maintain them.

Rhodes. of the »b motion that the earth shrinking may cause earthquakes, not simply by Oompressing the in ternal molten innss, but that the pressure exerted on caverns nearer the surface will have the same ef fect He gave it as his opiuion, as far as he had been able to form au opinion thiU the centre of the dis turbance was some where near Oharleston aud that the shocks were likely more or less vertical. He also touched ou the religious point of the t-ubject, saying that God was everywhere, iu the drop of water, iu the wonderful mechanism of the humau body as well as in the storm and in the earthquake. Still he thought it was improper to say or think that God made the earth quake and killed some of the poor people of Oharleston The earth quake was the result ol natural causes just as much as the lifting ot the lid of tbe tea kettle standiug ou the stove filled with boiliug wa ter.^ Listen to the words of Christ: “Were those persons ou whom the town of Sitoam fell siuuers above all otheis f” Ou Friday, W. A. Ham read an essay ou “Home Education” aud J. A. Ham oue on “Tbe Mother as a Teacher.” Both were well received The institute cios*d at 1 o’clock. Before closing W. G. Rush offered tbe following resolutions which were unanim* usly adopted : Resolved, That the thanks of the institute are due and are hereby tendered to Ool. W. U. Evans, • onuty Commissioner of Schools, for providing the colored teachers of the county so satisfactorily with a County Normal Institute. Resolved 2nd, That tbe tbauks o the institute are due to Dr Satuue A, Baer for discharging his duties as instructor so'faithfully. His iu struotiou was able and presented iu so plain and simple a manner as to be especiaiiy valuable to the teach era. Union Services. A union meeting, conducte* jointly by tbe pastors of tbe town, with such help as they may be able to procure, will begin at tbe Pres bvterian Church. Sunday night. The services will be held at tbe Presbyterian Church ou account o' its convenient and central locition. Preaching may be expected every night during tbe week at 7} o’clock P. M. The |»eoplc are requested to assemble promptly so that they may be dismissed ut an early Lour.

Salvation is freely altered by the Great King to all who will accept it. ‘ And the Spirit and the bride say come. Au* let him that heare.th say come.

The people of Darlington have shown me so much honor iu the past, acd so many ol them have tendered to me the expressions o their confidence and offers of re newed support in the present cam paign, that I feel it is due to them to make my position known une quivocaily at the outset of the campaign I can not take leave hf the political service of Darlington County without some regret, aud certainly uot without a real grati tude for the kindness with which all my acts have been judged aud tbe hearty support that I have al ways received from the people, but 1 feel it due alike to myself and the public that I should uot accept a miominatiou or election to the high office to which I have been three times elected by tbe people. W. c. Coker On the Death of Gen. Manigault. At a regular meeting of the Dari mgton Guards, Private C. D, Evans, offered the following resolu tion. He said: Mr. Charman and Gentleman of the Darlington Guards t I desire to call your attention to the death ot Gen. A. M Mauigault, late Adjt. and Inspector General of South Carolina. He has written his name high in her annals, and has added by bis brave deeds to her glorious history. By devotion to duty he won on the field the distinction of command in her armies, and bore in bis body to bis dying day the effects of wounds received in her service. Called to take charge of her citizen soldiery iu times of peace, be raised them to that high standard which be ever set for himself, tbe standard whose watchword was “duty ” Weil did he merit the “well done,’’ which the receut convention of his State accorded him. Let us trust that when summon ed to answer the toll call of the Great Captain, be took with him the consciousness of duty faithfully perform***], ami passing without fear the silent river, now rests un der tbe shade of the trees. Resolved, Therefore, That we lave beard with sincere sorrow of the death of Geo. A. M. Manigault, ate Adgt. and In*|>ecfor General of South Carolina. That the State laslosta conscientious, and capable officer, and each member of her A Leaf from History. Soon after the great earthquake in New England, in 1727, tbe Rev Josiah Smith, who was then pastor of the Dissenting Church at Cain- hoy, a village near Charleston. S. C., preached a sermon in Charles ton, with the earthquake as bis text, some sentences of- which, wheu read iu connection with tbe recent occurrences in the South, have an odd sound. “The God,” he said, “who shook New England can, with equal ease, make Caro lina tremble.” Other sentences ot this discourse, which was printed iu Boston iu 1730, were as fol lows: “We are, perhaps, greater Sin ners than they. Though justice has smote them, aud spared us, our Crimes might be more Crimson than theirs aud our State more dangerous. It may be, God reserves us for severer Rebukes of Provi dence. There is, doubtless, Pro- visiou enough in Nature for an Earthquake in Carolina.

The Earthquake which shook Neic England had al most reached Carolina, or rather, beeq felt iu the more distant parts aud skirts of the Province; am very probably, by cotnpariuk: Times, Charlestown heard its itoar; what sp ring Mercy hat we only hear iL” The Work of the Committee on Relief. Ncw« aud Courier, 3«| t 13. The relief committee had a well- earned rest yesterday. Up to Saturday night there bad been twenty thousand rations issued, at a cost of about 83,000. Part of this sum, however, had tieen ex pended in the fitting up of the dis tributiug office and other necessary attachments of tbe office and its organization. Dr. Rose said yesterday that there could be no reason to suppose That there was to day a single person in Charleston in absolute wautordis tress. This, lie said, would not have bee.i the case but for the method adopted by the committee of reaching every home in the city There were, he said, liuudieds of poor people, such as music teach ers, seamstresses ami others, chiefly ladies, whose occupations were gone for the present and who wou d have hesitated long before they Applied personally to the commit tee lor relief. Such cases had to lie sought out. and in that way the necessities of many deserving poor and unfortunate ladies had been provided for. The distribution of provisions from the wagons will (>e continued to-day and henceforward until it has been stopped by the central committee. Tbe tact of the distri bution iu this manner will not pre vent the supplying of exceptions! cases that may make application for speedy relief at the office in Cumberland street. It may as well be understood, however, that inas much as the distributions from tbe wagons will .be very general and inclusive of every district in the city, only case* of extreme emer gency will be attended to at the office. Id other respects all the ar rangements and services of the committee will be as heretofore until further notification.
