STOBM AT ^m.MlNOTOIT AND SMITHYHJCiE. The storm which reached Charleston befwe day? Tt?esdaj morning, strock Wilmington and Smithville later rn the day. The Passport had taken a large excursion party down the Uiver at $ o'clock tn the morning. By the time the boat reached Smithville the wind was blowing; - quite : ? gale, but after fc?m3?g a -part of her passengers she steamed oat to the bar in the Cace of a rapidly increasing gale. The wind soon became so terrific that the Passport was compelled to torn back. When Smith? ville was reached, an e?ort was made to take tbose who had landed, on board but -:onrj few succeeded . and man j were left. An effort w is also made to take those on board who- bad landed at the rocks bat also Jailed, sad the un? fortunates at that nc hospitable plaee bad to stand the storm as best they coald. One more effort was made to land at Orton ; bat the wind was so se? vere thai-the boat came near foundering and Capt. Harper waa compelled to leave all who were on shore. The boat reached ber wharf at Wilmington at o'clock ia the af ternoea, m neb to the relief of many. fir - The damage done rn WRmington Was comparatively slight,\ though many trees and fences were blown do wo. The vessels in the river Were pretty well laken up and^MM^??? blown from tbville the 'rink's resi were blown away or The pilot boats were io many cases driven ashore, and some damage done to other shipping. Several large .oaks were blown-down, which had resisted all previous storms. CHAELESTON'SENEKGy. The plo ck and determination shown by the cit ixe ns of Charleston, under the heavy burden of loss and disaster, are worthy of all praise. We are glad to know that when Columbia telegraphed ber sympathy and desire to help, that the plucky Mayor and undismayed ci ti- f sens of the '"City by the Sea" returned thanks for the offer, bat declined the hel**v Sach indomitable energy and independence is a rich possession, and auder their impulse the dismantled city will.soon shine forth ia her former beauty. The loss* and temporary in? convenience will be very heavy on her merchants, bat those misfortunes nearly always bring forth good fruit which re? pay in some measure the injory inflict* ed. This, we trust, rill be thc case with Charleston. PHILAiyPHHOPIC. We see that through the good offices of the Are?:* and Courier that house? holders and real estate owners of small means cao borrow money on real estate security, by an arrangement made with the Charleston banks and the County and City Officers at no expense for ex? j Eimining titles or recording papers and j at a rate of interest not to exceed six or seven per cent, per ano um. The kind? ness on the part of , the above named parties and especially the thoughtful care of the News and Courier in work- ! tag op the plan will enable tuaoy a j poor woman to restore ber borne to its j former coadition of comfort without un? necessary sacrifice, and delay. ENT E RTEI Si j;. The^gfear, explicit and complete his ioTy*of last Tuesday's storm in Cbarles :oo, as given by the ATe?*s and Courier ast Wednesday morning, was a remark ible achievement, even in this day of aewspaper enterprise. The Greenville News has . the following to say of this splendid journalistic feat: ??It is to be regretted that a very j ?mall proportion of the people who read j newspapers understand or appreciate good newspaper work. For instance, probably not one in five hundred of those who read thc description, of the cyclone published in the Netcs and Courier of Wednesday stopped to thiuk of the amount of labor, intelligence and skill represented in it. The report was really ooeof the fioest' pieces.'of news- j paper work ever dooe.^^Tedd not be Heve any newspaper..ever-printed a bet? ter or more complete article. There j were eighteen co!umos of it, and it did j not contain a superfluous tine. An idea of what the work is may be obtained from ii rough calculation. The eighteen coloran? represented obont 250 pages of manuscript. In' getting it up many miles of distance on land aod water were traveHed^baudreds of people were talked with and *'pumped" for io formattcD aod hundred? of places were yLited. AU this work had to be done tabed and the articles written .read, pot ?n type, reread,: eorreckd and put in the forms in fourteen boure, iud we doubt if there is a single error, typo? graphical* or otherwise, in the whole thing. Such an achievement is only the result of a combination of long ex? perience, careful training, energy and executive ability. It ls evidence of splendid management. No newspaper could do such work without toe direc? tion of a clear head and strong and steady band." COTJKTT^fOBMAL IN8TI TUTES. . iWe spoke favorably of County Nor mal Institutes a short .while back, and 8 in ce that time have made further io* quiries of their success, and from what we can learn, they are the Institutes of the future, if we expect the rank and file of the teachers to be benefitted thereby. The Legislature has wisely provided for' these Institutes. It remains, now for the teachers and school officials to do their part. Nothing ean be done till next year, but plans carr be made ind talked over, so that when next Summer cernes every? thing will be ready for the Institute. Our teachers need the encourage? ment and help these Institutes can give, and we hope that Sumter County will bave both- a white and colored one next July or August. WOMEN AT A PRIZE FIGHT. Saturday last, Cincinnati had a big prize fight. Sullivan the well known s lugger from Boston and a new man named McCaffrey from Pittsburg, Penn , were the contestants. Trains from every direction brought crowded coaches, and 15,000 people were' in attendance, while the eyes of the 8port?g^rorld from Maine io Califor? nia, were turned with eager longing upon that fortunate spot of earth where Sullivan aud McCaffrey were pummell? ing each other. But the startling news in reference to the fight is the following from the New York World which gives a full account of the occasion: "Women, there were too, all elegantly dressed and gay of nature. They were enraptured by the physique of the pugilists, and applauded them often and loudly." New York and Chicago have gener? ally taken the lead tn the new ideas and fashions which are so subversive of good morals, but even they have never indulged in tins new amusement of having women at a prize fight. Cin? cinnati is entitled to the banner for this uew^epartture, and she doubtless feels the exploit. we read of such things^we are ore proud of our own modest, ted women, and feel all the that the habits and cus? toms work such characteristics, ba]| faod we pray may never ci Clarendon News.

We have been iuformed by reliable parties that a number of citizens at Ridgeway have banded themselves to? gether and go out at night administer? ing a good sound whipping to parties living in adultry. They whip both men and women. Evidently they re? gard the law as too slow a process by which the guilty parties can be punish? ed or that the graud jury does not do its duty. If they will confine them? selves to this evil alone it may be alli right. lt is possible, however, fori them to go too far, and they should bj very careful and stop at the prop? time. We do not advocate the peofl taking the law into their own hands M it seems to be the best way io some M ticolar caaes and this may be one.

The Pee Dee Index was three years old with the last issue, and, with this issue, it begins the fourth year of its existence. In age it is still ic its infancy, but we hope, and believe, that in nsefnlness it ig far in advance of what its age would indicate. Since its es? tablishment, the steadfast purpose of the Index has been to give its patrons a thoroughly re? liable news and family journal. Three years since it started without a subscriber. Without special effort at this writing it baa 986 bona fide subscribers, including exchanges, and in? cluding many of the best men and women in Marien, Marlboro and Horry counties. For this generous patronage and support the' Index has received in a field strewn with so many newspaper wrecks, we are profoundly grateful, and oar constant effort in the future shall be to not only retain the confidence so kindly manifested, but if practical to in? crease it.-Pee Dee Index.

Hampton xjigat uragoona Picnic Those Gates, &c. v PACKSVILLE, S. C. August 28, 188$\ Mr. Editor: The eighth annual picnic of the "Hampton Light Dragooos" of this County, came off on the 21st instant, at the residence of Mr. A. L. Lesesne, and was at? tended by at least six hundred people from Clarendon and adjoiningtJounties. Everything was carried out with the usual magnificence and style which are characteris? tic of the picnics heretofore given by the H. L.D's. "Simon's"'string or.nd from Sumter fur? nished music for the occasion, and Mackey was present with his ice-cream and soda-wa? ter, but, poor "nigger," he was drained dry before night. The two large front rooms of Mr. Lesesne'e house were used- for ball rooms, and were well patronized by oar "Young Americans." The general verdict is. that it waa the best effort ever made by tbe Dragooos. The Connor Mounted Rifles also of this County, were tbe special guests of the Dra? goons and were out in full force. Any one from Sumter who remembers the "campaign" of 1878, knows something about these two military organizations. We are undergoing some cool-rainy-hot blow-hard weather, just now.

I cannot close this letter without saying that I read in your last issue, with some amusement, the communication of "Sidra," where he boasts of his charitable qualities io opening the gates of his neighbor which are put across the public road. If I was built on the "bull-tongue" style like Sidra-say 6J feet high and eight inches broad, I dont think I would be narrow heart? ed either, for I could step over the fence or wattle through the crack.
