It took place at 5 o'clock, and at the appointed time the church was crowded with the friend's of the contracting parties. These were Miss Mary B.

All . master masons, in good standing, are invited to at? tend. The Damaged Crops. The crops in this county were not damaged by the storm near the first estimates. Tobacco suffered most without exception. AH unharvested tobacco is a total loss. Mr. E. E Rem bert had 30 to 35 acres planted, and estimated that the yield would be 65 barns. He had cored 14 barns before the storm, and had 5 barns filled. The force of the wind drove the rain into the barns, and all the tobacco in the five was seriously injured. Thus he secured only 14 barns out of 65, for all the tobacco left in the fields was ruined. Mr. Gas. EMerbe, in the same neighborhood, had 40 acres in tobacco, and his loss Is greater than Mr. Rerabert's. Mrs. S. L. Keels bad 15 ?cres in tobacco and the loss was proportion? ately as great as the others. Other tabacco planters suffered iu a like ratio. The young cora crop suffered serious injury in ali parts of the county. Cotton is damaged but not as greatly as at first thought. It is the opinion of intelligent farmers that cotton is it'jure 15 to 25 per cent, of what it prom? ised before the storm. The injury being more or leas in different sections. " The State has suffered a severe loss by the breaking of the dams on the State farm. The crops were unusually promising and Mr. Tbos. 0. Sanders, the lessee of the farm, anticipsjed a large yield. The entire swamp crop is a total loss. Sumter's Sympathy. ?s soon as the extent of the disaster wrought by the cyclone in and around Beau? fort and on the Sea Island was koowa here the first thought of the people of Sumter was to do something to relieve the suffering of the destitute survivor? of the great calamity. Mayor Pierson in his official capacity took the initiative and issued the following call for a public meeting of the citizens. "The News from Braufort calls for oursub staniial sympathy und aid ; while we have, in part, been exempted from the fearful re? sults of the storm, we should at once do what we can to alleviate the sufferings of those who have been less fortunate. A public meeting of the citizens is called for-Monday evening at 7 o'clock p. ml ia fhe Court House, to formulate some plan for the relief of suffer? ing humanity in and around Beaufort. E. G Pu .asas, Mayor." At the appointed time a representative body of citizens were assembled in the Court House, and Mayor Pierson promptly called the meeting to order and Hon Altamont Moses wis asked to take the chair. He did, so, and in stating the objects of the meeting commented upon the extent and fatal effects of the storm. The meeting was held in re? sponse to the proclamation of the governor and the call of the Mayor. The calamity was one of the most unusual magnitude. The latest dispatches state that betwi/.-m one thousand and titeen hundred lives were lost, and that the desolation and ruin wrought in all the country around Beaufort and on the Sea Islands is indescribable. Those who es? caped with their lives are without food or clothing, they are in abject want, and a?~ has been well said "those who give quickly give twice." The aid that this community desires to extend to the suffeiers should be given at once. Mr. Moses asked Mr. H. G. Osteen to act as secretary, and called for suggestions from the gentlemen present. Col. R. D. Lee spoke briefly in introducing a motion that the City Council be requested to appropriate the sum of $100 to be sent to the cyclone sufferers; and that a committee, consisting of ladies an^gentlemen from each ward, be appointed to canvass the city, soli? citing contributions of money, provisions and clothing for the sume purpose. The motion found a ready second in Mr. Neil O'Donnell, and was adopted unanimously. Rev. A. J. Stokes suggested that the chair? man appointas the committee three ladies and two gentlemen from each ward, and the sug? gestion was embodied in the form of a motion aod adopted. Mr Moses then ?nid that if it met with the approval of the meeting he would appoint a chairman of the whole committee to assume charge of the several ward committees and receive all donations There being no dissent, he named Rev. A. J. Stoke?, who asked to be excused as his regular duties were such as lo prevent an efficient discharge of the duties as chairman. It was then decided by the meeting that Mr. Moses him? self was the proper person for the chairman? ship of the committee, and be consented to act. The canvassing committees were an? nounced on Tuesday morning and went immediately to work. They are as follows : Ward 1. Mrs. George W Loring, Miss Mary Darr, Miss Lucia Roach, Mr. T. B. Fraser, Jr., and Mr. E. C. Haynsworth. Ward 2. Miss Dulcie Moise, Mrs N. G Osteen, Mrs R.S. Hood, Mr H. Schwerin, Mr. P. G. Bowman. Ward 3. Mrs H. W. Bennett, Mrs W. A. Brown Miss Mag Graham, Mr. R. W. Durant, Mr. W. M. Graham. Ward 4. Mrs. C. E Stubbs, Mrs. D. Rosen? dorf. Miss Jimmie Brennen, Mr. li. P. Monaghan and Mr Bar tow Walsh. The committees will endeavor to call on everyone, but should any person who desires to contribute be overlooked, they are requested lo call on the chairman of the committee, Mr. Altamont Mose*, and le?ve the donation with him. Ionia Items. IONIA, S. C., Sept. 1 '93. Mr. Editor : The storm of last Sunday night and Monday was the worst we ever saw. Several chimneys fell down -(among them one for ye scribe.) Several small houses, also one for us. The damage to the crops caa not be estimated, because it bas been raining almost every day since, and if it continues the cotton that has not opened will rot in the boll. On account of the above the farmers have let their lip3 drop a few inches lower : but why get in the blues about it? There is no money to pay for cotton, and it is not bring? ing anything, so let 'er go. J. E. D.'s meat panic has reached us. Mr. Berioo Trap got bis arm broke last Saturday in a wrestle with a Mr. Wallace. Mrs. Lillie Baily, who has been visiting her brother, Mr. J. F. Mathews, has returned to her home at Jug Tavern, Ga. Mrs. J. W. Weldon is quite sick, and there is not mich hope of her recovery. Mr. Sumter Amnions is still very sick. Messrs. Finley Mccaskill, Daniel Christmas and Jessie Atkinson, with their mules, came very near getting drowned one day this week at the Depot Creek, near Camden. There has lately been a new bridge built there for the purpose of crossing when the water backed up trom the river, the abutments of the bridge being built of dirt. The above gentlemen drove on the bridge, and it being covered with water they could not see that the oppo? site abutment had washed away, and they drove off the bridge into about eight feet of water. They got the mules out without any damage, but the wagon is still in the creek. PLOW BOY. ---mm??mm*- -- Meteorological Becords.

President Cleveland never worked harder since he became President than he has done ! since his return to Washington. In addition to bis desk work, of itself a task for an or? dinary roan, be bas held important confer? ences with every member of his cabinet upon matters per tuning to their several departments; with numerous Senators on the outlook for the passage of the silver repeal bill, and with chairman Wilson, of the House Ways and Means committee upon the new tariff bill, public hearings upon which were to-day be? gun by that: committee, to be continued until the 20, inst. In short, Mr. Cleveland has, after bis vacation, taken up his numerous public duties with the vigor which has always characterized his administration of public af? fairs. To see bim and talk with him two min? utes will convince any man that the talk about bis health being undermined and broken is arrant nonsense. He was overworked ; needed rest; and now that he bas had it, is all right again. It is now acknowledged by the staunchest opponent of the unconditional repeal of the pur? chasing clause of the Sherman silver law that the opposition to repeal is gradually melting away. A majority of the Senators will vote for repeU when a vote can be reached, and the only delay chat can arise after all the Sena? tors have been given an opportunity to ex press their sentiments will be by fillibustering. To what extent fillibustering will be carried is not yet apparent, but it is certain that a num? ber of Senators who are strongly opposed to unconditional repeal-such men as Morgan, of Alabama, and Pfeffer, of Kansas,-will re? fuse to aid sn fillibustering to prevent a vote, and Senator Y oo rh ees, who is in charge of the repeal bill, has given notice of his inten? tion to use extreme measures, if necessary, to force a vote upon the bill, as soon as it be? comes apparent that the debate is being prolonged for no other purpose than to stave off a vote. It is now thought.by those who favor repeal that a vote can be reached in two, or at the outside three, weeks. Still, it is certain that the bill will not pass the Senate without a bitter struggle, which will probably be one of the most -memorable in the history of the Senate. This struggle is expected io begin with a continuous session of the Senate, when the attempt will be made to wear out the opposition, and thus force a vote. The House is still debating the proposed new rules reported from the committee on rules last week, and until they have been adopted no bills can be introduced, except by unanimous consent, and that is seldom given. Among the most important amendments which the House has already added to the mles is that giving the committee on coinage and the committee on banking and currency the same privilege that the committee on appropriations and thal on ways and means have had-ha: of reporting bills at any time. During the debate ex-Speaker Reed has con? tinuously sought to make discord among the democrats, but up to this time he bas succeed? ed iu doing nothing exeept making an exhibi? tion of himself. While the democrats have dif? ferences among themselves as to some of the rules reported, I bey are able to settle them, and will settle them without Reed's interfer? ence. There is very little talk now about the extra session being a short one. There is so much to be done that nearly all of the mem? bers have about come to the conclusion that it is better to stay through the fall than to be compelled to stay here through the eutire summer next year Something has got to be done to increase the revenues of the Govern? ment, in crder to avoid a big deficit at the end of the present fiscal year, and it is likely that after the repeal bill is disposed of Presi? dent Cleveland will have some recommenda? tion to make on the subject. It is his wish, and also that of Secretary Carlisle, that the needs of the Treasury shall not be mixed up with ihe silver question. Senator Dolph made a speech in the Senate Saturday afternoon in favor of his bill appropriating $500,000 to carry out the provisions of the Geary anti-Chinese law thal hardly made pleasing reading for the new Chinese minister, who the same day presented his credentials to Secretary Gresham. Dress Reform and Hot Weather. The New Orleans Woman's club has been debating upon tho subject of dress reform. It is a little singular that this idea seems to work with the greatest in? tensity in midsummer. Last season at Chautauqua the discussions were carried on with such zeal that the public at large felt that the matter would be settled at once. But it is still open. The New Orleans ladies talked very bard, and there seemed as many opinions as speakers, which n:..kes it rather dii.i cnlt to get at the conclusion of the mat? ter unless the expression of one woman that "dress reform must come through the fashion plates. Just as soon as the New York magazines and Paris fashion plates present these cuts as the latest styles, then dress reform will be adopt? ed," may be taken as such. As it probably is.-New York Times.

A Mystery of Art Criticism. Why is it that the press takes so much pains to describe the personal appear? ance of the female artists who have pic? tures in the art exhibit of the World's fair and says nothing of the pictures, while lt sa vs nothing of tho personal ap? pear an ce of tho malo artists, hui describee their pictures?-St, Paul Gleit, < Resolutions of Respect. At the regalar meeting of the Sumter Count? Medical Association held on August l.Ub, the followi?g Preamble and Resolutions were reported by the committee and unani? mously adopted : Whereas, It bas pleased the Great Ruler of the universe to remove from among us a charter member and efficient ofllcer of this Association, Dr. Francis J. Mayes, we feel, while bowing in bumble submission to His divine will, a sad pleasure in being permitted to express our high regard for our departed friend. Dr. Mayes from early manhood enjoyed the confidence ef all with whom he was associated. Genial in disposition, kind in manner, he illustrated in every act of his life the Christian gentleman. In his busi? ness relations he was just, as a Physician, though of but few years standing, he had gained the confidence of his community and was rapidly acquiring a large and lucrative practice. As a friend we loved him, as a citizen we honored him, asa physician we held him in high esteem, therefore be it Resolved : 1st. That io the death of Dr. Francis J. Mayes, society has lost an upright Christian gentleman ; the community and county in which he lived, an earnest, active citizen; the medical, profession, one who gave prom? ise of mach usefulness ; and Ibis association, one of its most active and zealous officers. 2nd. This association deeply deplores the untimely death of our associate and brother, and we extend our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to bis bereaved family in this, their great and sore affliction. 3rd. That a blank page in the minute book of this association be inscribed to his memory. 4th. That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to his family, and that they be published in the county papers. J. W. HUDSON, I J. J. BOSSARD, y Committee. J.S.
