It is simplj absurd to profess
deplore the interference of the Fed
eral Courts into what are claimed
be-strictly. State matters, while
the same time we are doing all in our
power to make this interference not
only possible, but absolutely
necessary for the protection of the
rights of those who have fallen un
der the displeasure of the powers
that are now in control of the State
Government
Congressman McLauren’s bill for
the Treasury Department to issue
$I26,000,o00 in notes and lend it to
the people will give each inhabitant
of the country within a faction
one dollpr eighty cents each. Some
or ohr. fellow oit'zeos with large
families might he able to control
about twenty dollars if Ur. McLau
ren’s hill .were to pass.
* We' Suggest that while that
Napoleon of finance, Mr. McLauren
ispnshiog bis measure through it
would be just as well to make the
snjount. sufficent to give us all
about fifty Dollars each. If the
Government can make one dollar
out bf nothing it can just as easily
make millions.
Some of our inform contemporaries
are making very lame excuses for
Senator Irby’s disgraceful conduct
in Colombia a week or two ago,
wbi]b others are professing to be
astonished and somewhat ashamec
at his (Irunken escapade. Those
who seek to excnse his misbehavior
are simply making themsel ves re-
diculous, and those who profess re
gret are grossly inconsistent from
the fact that they knew what kind
of a man Mb Irby was when they
so strennonsly advocated his election,
and their only real sorrow is on ac
count of the injury it may do the so
called reform party. For the dis
grace that this would be border
ruffian has brought upon the State
they care nothing, as from the very
outset they have cared more for
the triumph of a faction than for the
fair name of their native State.
Putting Irby in the place of Wade
Hampton is the same kind of reform
that would he brought about
if we were to substitute the feudal
ism of the dark ages for the freedom
enlightement of the present day.
Pray let all populists have the
courage of their convictions. To win
a fight under false pretenses is
positive curse to the victors. It con.
verts them into frauds and by make-
ing fraud appear to pay and prosper.
It never pays. It did not pay in the
least election. Cleveland was elected
by the populists of the South, who
were afraid to openly declare and
contend for their convictions. The
Freeman warned and warned, but
“the policy” of wearing the cloak of
Democracy to get in our Congresamen
and other (State) officers prevailed
and now see what a mess we are in.
We deserve what we have brought on
onrselvea. Let ns do better in fut
ure. Be fair and fearless, open and
earnest and honest—Sumter Free
man.
Oar contemporary is pretty heavy
on the Reformers, but what it says
is true. Much aa we differ with the
Freeman we have always admired
the resolnte candor, entire fairness
•nd unshrinking courage that its
view. He will never, however, induce
lis brother Populists to throw aside
the Democratic mask until they are
forced to it they being entire stran
gers to anything like political candor.
The Denocracy has the offices at its
disposal and taut is what thet pop
ulist patriots are after.
A Terrible Stern.
New York, Oct 3.—Th0 Sun’s
special from New Orleans says:
A terriffic storm struck New Gr
ins late Sunday night, coming
from the Northeast and raged here
all night and part of yesterday,
sweeping to the South from here
along the line of the Mississippi river
through Parish Plaquamine to the
gulf.
The storm was one of the worst
which ever visited this part of the
country, and as far as can be learned
twenty-four or more persons were
killed, and probably three times as
many wounded, some fatally.
The wind had reached a velocit;
of forty-eight miles an hour at 8
clock Sunday night It constantly
increased in force until 2 a. m., wl e»
its velocity was estimated at s xty
miles an hour. The crush of sheds
and buildings blown down, trees torn
up and houses unroofed, caused in
tense alarm, and most of the city re
mained up all night expecting their
houses to be blown down.
Among the buildings destroyed
were the Sarapa street market which
crashed several buildings in its fall;
the Burdette Street Mission Church;
the cotton yard sheds of the North
eastern railroad; Coleman’s boiler
shop, and the Pythian Hotel. A
number of other buildings were un
roofed.
The revel ment levee, on Lake Pont-
chartrain, which protects Nem Or
leai >8 from overflow on the river, was
washed away, the water sweeping ov
er it fifteen feet or more. Many of
the yachts there were sunk or injur
ed. The track of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad was badly washed
for fifteen miles, and it will be sev
eral days before it can run trains.
Three deaths, one person woundeec I
severely if not fatally, is the mortali
ty record in New Orleans. Below
the city it was far worse, especially
in Plaqnamine. Here the wind
reached a velocity of 100 to 125 miles
an hour, sweeping everything before
it The parish seat of justice, Pointe
a la Hache, a town of 200 people,
was the worst sufferer. In the town
not a single house escaped injury
The court house and Catholic church,
the principal buildings in the town,
and some twenty other buildings,
were destroyed, and the situation
was so threatening that a greater
part of the people, fearing destroc
tion in their buildings, camped out
in the streets all night in the heavy
rain.1 IThe air was filled with debris,

smpathy to Senator Irby and assure
limof continued support and un
alterable confidence.

and the wind was blowing so fiercely
that many of them had to anchor
themselves against trees to prevent
being blown away.
Four grown people are known
have been killed, in Pointe a
Hache, together with several child
ren; how many is not exactly known,
Among the killed were Mrs. Leon La
Franche, wife of one of the leadin
merchants of the town, and Mrs.
Levanders, wife of a well known
lawyer.
Telegraphic communications was
cut off with nearly all places yester
day. Skiffs were sent ontm the
swamps about Lake Ponchartrain
and forty persons were rescued in
more or less danger from the storm.
The sugar district escaped the
worst of the blow. There is much
danger to rice and sugar cane.
It is probable that the mortality
will be greatly increased when the
news is received from far away set
tlements on the gulf coast below
Pointe a la Hache, in the orange
country of Louisiana. The crop was
ripe upon trees and was about to be
harvested. It was completely des
troyed in the storm with a loss of
$350,000 on this one item. The
crop on the Orange farms of Bradish
Johnson, the largest in the South,
had been sold to a fruit dealer in
New Orleans, Mr. Oleri, for $65,000.
He said that there is not an orange
left on the trees and is the same all
the way down the coast

THE CAMDEN JUNCTION,
The Sonth Carolina Railway Re
fuses te Make Transfers
•f Freight.
The South Carolina Railway refuses
to make transfers of freight at the
Camden Junction in Sumter county.
The refusal is made in response to the
petition sent by the business men of
Darlington to the railroad commission
asking for the transfer of freights at
the junction, In order that the people
of that section may ship their tobacco
to this market. Receiver Chamberlai n
writes the commission as follows:
“I have again considered the subject
in view of your suggestions that It
would be for the Interest of our road
to comply with the wishes of those
who have brought the matter to your
official attention, and in view of the
various arguments presented by Mr.
Thomas in his seperate letter. As the
matter is now presented, It seems to me
to amount to this: The South Caro
lina Railway is now asked to make a
very considerable outlay of money to
establish facilities for a transfer of
freights generally at Camden Junct
ion, it being conceded that this will
result in a large loss in revenue to the
South Carolina Railway.
The present laws of the State do not
appear to require the South Carolina
Railway to do ihis, and the request of
the railroad commissioners, especially
the letter of Mr. Thomas, is an appeal to
the South Carolina Railway to do this
for the alleged benefit of certain shippers
of cotton and tobacco. Upon thia state
ment of the case it seems to me that
would be entirely improper for me to ac
cede to this appeal. The South Caro
lina Railway is bound to comply with
all valid existing laws of the State, but I
am advised by my counsel, and I reach
the same conclusion by my own examln
ation of the statutes, that the laws of
the State do not at present require the
South Carolina Railway to do what is
now asked of it by the railroad com
missioners. 1 must, therefere, respect
fully decline to do more than 1 agreed to
do in my letter to the railroad commis
sioners of March 23 last."

Cleaning Silverware
About the last thing done to silver
ware in the factories is to cleanse the
surface of all grease and other mate
rial used iu the polishing, a process
that usually involves a deal of hare
labor. A mechanic who had notec
the expensive character of this work
invented a bath in which the foreign
substances that cling to the surface
of silverware are easily and quickly
removed. From this bath the silver
ware comes clean and brilliant, The
employers of the inventor have pat
ented the process with his consent,
and the patent is regarded as a valu
able property.

We have been using Dr. King’s
ROYAL GERMETEUR for several
years in our family, and have recom
mended it to many others. It has
always done what is claimed for it,
far as tried, and I regard it as the best
medicine we have ever had In our
family. Mrs. J. 8. Halbert
February 28,1898.
My wife had been a great sufferer from
catarrh for several years, and had tried a
great many remedies without relief.
One bottle of GERMETEUR gave her
relief, and with every bottle used there is
marked improvement, and we are ex
perimenting a permanent cure. She has
gained 20 pounds since commencing
GERMETEUR. I was troubled with
indigestion and insomnia. Two bottles
of GERMETEUR made a new man of
me. My appetite is good and my sleep
sound and refreshing.
