" [TO BK CONTD?UKD.J The Great Hurricane. The fol! force of the hurricane of last week waa fek ?ro1 Fioiife and off the coast from the Southern extremity of Fi or ida to Cape Hatteras The dam? age in Florida was very great, but the loss of life was slight. Jacksonville and St. Augustine suffered severely. Savannah, Tybee and adjacent- ter? ritory suffered to some extent. At Port koyal and Beaufort, OD the sea islands the blow was severe, but oo serious damage was done, the storm j center passing too far out at sea. The ? rice crop is thought to have been dam? aged one-third. In Charleston the wind did not blow much above 60 miles an hour. The tide did not reach the height of last August by nine feet. No considerable damage was done. The storm was felt as far North as New York. Seamen report the roughest weather for years, and great j loss to the shipping interest is feared. The damage to crops in South Caro? lina is heavy, although slight wheo com? pared with last years cyclone. ORANGEBURG, Sept. 27.-Special to The State. The storm increased in its fury until this morning about 3 o'clock, when its velocity was sixty miles an hour The big smoke-stack to the sash and blind factory was blown down, the tin roof of thc Enterprise office blown off, electric light pole s blown down, besides numerous big trees. The storm is considered almost as severe as the memorable storm of August '93. A lot of chimneys in the suburbs are blown to atoms. Reports from the country are to the effect that the storm bas damaged cotton 20 per cent. Green bolls by the thousand are piled up in low places where they were washed by the raio. Some farmers think that five hundred bales of cotton were blown out of the open bolls. Far j mers make gloomy reports. Mrs. Dr. W. W. Murray, living a mile from the city, lost her gin. lt is a total wreck. Her cotton aod corn were badly damaged ?). E. Dukes" barn and stables were swept away; pieces of the building were seen a quar? ter of a mile off. The Edisto river is risiug very rap? idly. It is feared that the big embank? ment recently built by the city on the Russell street extension will be washed away. Repor;s are still coming in from the county at this writing No reports of deaths have been received, lt is be? lieved that the storm was destructive to both life and property. The new depot at Looc Star, on the Manchester and Augusta railroad, is j wrecked, the wind having blown a big pine tree ?.cross it. GEORGETOWN, Sept. 27.-The gale is practically over, though the rain is 6tiil falling. The velocity of the wind was not so great as last year, but the height of the tide was within two feet of the highest point reached last year There is no damage to property in the city. The damage io the rice crop is about 33 per cent. A Murderer Saved by Law? yers. WILMINGTON, N. C. September 27. A special to the Star says ; The trial of Evward J. Fuller, which has been pro? gressing at Rockingham, Richmond County, nearly six days, ended to-day with a verdict of acquittal. Fuller was charged with the murder of B. C. Bar? ker, at Fayetteville, N. C., and was tried there last March, convicted of mur? der in the first degree &:>d sentenced to be banged The case was taken to the Supreme Court, which granted a new trial Change of venue was then made to Richmond County, and the second trial resulted io prompt acquittal. The case has attracted much attention throughout the State. The Salvation Army has taken up "living pictures'7 as a means to an end In Chicago they are presenting ? series at their meeting. The first one ia the drunkard's home, called "Hell iu a Cottage." then follows one in which the ..Army" goes to the rescue, after which is seen the happy home to which is the drunkard reformed. The audience ap? plauds each picture wildly. **The South Carolina Democratic Convention," remarks the Chicago Inter-Ocean, Republican, "denounced President Cleveland for appointing Republicans to office, as au unworthy successor of Jefferson, Jacksou ard Madison, and aa a betrayer of the plat? form on which he was elected.'7 As a simple matter of fact, the South Caro? lina Democratic Convention didn't do auy such thing. Mr. Tillman's Conven? tion did something like that. Here is a distinction with a difference. Some of the sugar plauters contend that they can't grow sugar cane aod make sugar at present prices without a bounty. Well, if they can't let them quit aod go to growing something else. This protection wail is growing mono? tonous. But the Louisville Courier Journal takes their own figures and shows that at present prices, and the cost of production they can clear fifty dollars an acre raising caoe. Hill Nominated. The following is a condensed account by the unexpected and altogether sur? prising result of the New York State D?mocratie Convention OD last Wed o es day. That Senator Hill would nominated no one had the least idea The Convention was split into faction and there appeared to be no hope ao agreement. The nomination of Hill wa? a happy thought and the New York Democracy is united. Senator Hill called the conven tioo to order at 10.50 p. n?. After th ordinary routine work the convention proceeded to nominations. The chairman recognized Gayien Ii Hitt, of Albany, who, in au eloqueo speech, placed in nomination for Gov ernor John Boyd Thatcher, of Albany When Mr. Hitt had fioisbed, Eldy Reynolds, of A liega ny, rose and said "The united delegation of Allegany county desires to place in nomination their first and only choice, David B Hill. That was ail be had to say. Th crowd went wild with enthusiasm. Senator Hill said: "I am grateful to the Democrats of the Empire State for the courtesv and kindness of tb past, but I must say to you I cannot b your candidate again for Governor. Senator Guy rose when New York was called, and, standing ou a chair said: ..Mr. Chairman, I rise to per form a duty which I have waited fo some older Democrat from this county to perform. I am about to name fo Governor a man, the mention of whose name warms the heart of every true Democrat. He must be our candidate He is the only man with whom wc are beforehand sure of winning. He is the chief Democrat in our ranks He must sink bis personal views and again become our standard bearer. We need bis services uow and we must demand that he give them to us and cousent to lead ns on to victory. The situation is grave. The only thiDg for this convenci?n to do is to assert that we know the meaning of the term 'I am a Democrat,' and knowing should pro? ceed to nominate that prince of leaders, who presides over our deliberations. He bas told you that he cannot accept our nomination. But I tell you, gen? tlemen, we owe a courtesy to the Demo? cracy of the State, which is higher than the courtesy which we owe to him. I Dominate the oue man who typifies what Democracy typifies. I present the name of the chief exponent'of Democratic principles in our party David B. Hill." (Cheers aod wild en? thusiasm.) After Senator Guy had fioished, Bourke Cockran, of New York, arose, and, climbing over the reporters* table to the platform, enthusiastically second? ed the nomination. Mr. Cockran then put the question to the convention : Will you make the nomination unanimous ? Every one in the hall, delegates, spectators acd all yelled "aye." Turn ?og to Senator Hill, Mr. Cockran theu said : ."Senator Hill, we summons you to your duty." Col. William Ji. Browne also spoke, seconding the nomination. Hitt, of Albany, withdraw the uame of Thatcher and Senator Canton moved that Hill be nominated by acclamation. I A storm of ayes shook the rafters and there were no nays. Secretary DeFor est declared Hill Dominated, but Hill de? clared the proceedings out of order aod the roil call of counties was proceeded with. The vote was unanimous for Hill. Another noisy outbreak occur I red. ! When order was restored, Lieutenant i Governor Sheehan nominated Daniel ! N. Lockwood, of Buffalo, for Lseuten ! aot-Goveruor and be was Dominated by ! acclamation. ; In a similar manner, Judge Gaynor was eli os en as candidate for Judge of the Court of Appeals The routine j business of the convention was quickly I disposed of and at 2 :45 the convention i adjourned sine die. Senator Hill's Speech. _ : Senator David B. Hill io assuming ! the temporary Chairmanship of the.New j York State Democratic CooventioD i delivered tbe following speech, which i is regarded by many as the greatest j speech delivered by any public man io j maoy years. Our opponents, by the vigorous beat I ing of bogus political tom-toms, aod the ; insistence upon petty aod misleading j local issues seek to divert the public j attention from the unenviable record j which they made during their recent I four years-* cootrol of the federal govero I meat. The people have not, however, ! forgotteo the fact that it was a repub ; Hean administration, which, in that ?11 ! fated year of 1890, saddled the country j with unwise and vicious legislation, j which has since crippled its prosperity, ' endangered its finances aod augmented 1 its public burdeus. The people rcuiem , ber that the Sherman silver bullion ; purchase law was the product of repub i [?can statesmanship-against the eoact ment of which every democrat in con? gress voted-a measure fraught with iojury to the business interests of the couotry, based upon no just or sound principle of nuance, cooverting a con? stitutional mooey metal into a commo? dity, hastening us OD to a single standard rather than a bimetallic standard and weakcuing our national credit at home and abroad. "It'should be bore io mind that the financial panic of 1893 was a republicao panic-republican io its iueep continuance and disastrous effec situation largely iuduced by the re then existing and impending of republican legislation which a d> eratic administration hud no part parcel in enacting, sanctioning or doning, but which it oniy unfortuu: inherited from its predecessor. "The people recollect that it under a national democratic admini? lion that tbe Sherman law was repes not as promptly as some of us desi it is true, but nevertheless uooo lioualiy repealed within eight rooi after our advent to power. *'We promised the people in Chicago platform that this stat which, was eating out the vitals ot financial body-politic, should not be mitred to eudure, and the promise redeemed, despite the adverse pre r?ous of our adversaries We also dared in favor of repealing that law which iovaded state rights, mena the liberties of the citizens, multip federal officials, involved the expel ture of millions of money, contiu sectional animosities and was as conceived, unnecessary and impotent the preveution of fraudulent practi and the promotion of pure elections a was vexations and offensive in enforcement. "I point you to the fact that democratic party-although entrene! for four years with the distribution all the official patronage incident to i execution of this powerful law, yet w patriotic self-sacrifice, deliberately c aside all the power, influence a patronage involved therein, subordic ing temporary selfish interests to I public good, wiped this odious law fr the statute books within the first year our administration, and at the ensui congressional elections the spectacle w be witnessed for the first time in twen four years of state elections conduct? as they of right ought to be, withe federal interference, dictation or intii tion-without federal supervisors, mi s hals or other obnoxious federal agei or instrumentalities, but with sti officials selected or chosen by the peo] themselves, according to state laws a usages, an exemplification of the pri ciple of home rule in states and vindication of the doctriue of sov< eigoity of the states as it was recogniz by our forefathers from the foundati of our government until that evil day the sixties when the republican although a minority party,, owing to o own divisions accidentally obtained co trol of the country. We rejoice th with democratic national ascendanc the country consistently returns to tl simple methods, the sound pri ? ci pl and the correct administration of publ officers, which characterized the earli and better days of the republic "Tbe enactment of the McKinli tariff law was the culminating atroci of republican recklessness in legislador, a measure so extreme,'so selfish, : unreasonable that I hazard nothing asserting that conservative and fai minded republicans everywhere r gretted the party exigencies which seen ed to demand its passage, lt was tl very personification of protectionism ru mad. "The McKinley law has gone whet the woodbine twineth-gone to sta' never to be re-enacted again by an political party, lt is true that thei was a vexatious and unfortunate dela; which we regretted,occasioned in part t the antiquated rules of the senate, whic tolerated unlimited debate-rules whic we did nos frame but which we inheri ed, and which, by reason of our slend< majority, we seemed uuabie to chang? but which 1 trust in the near future wi be abrogated ; but the fact should It remembered that the record shows th: tve occupied less time by some monti in repealing the law than our opponent took in enacting it in 1890. "The administration of Presiden Cleveland has been clean-handed, pain; taking and patriotic. The variot departments of the national governmet have been conducted with success au the democratic party as a whole i eutitled to the confidence of the masse of the people whose interests it endea\ ors faithfully to serve. The administra tion of our state government unde democratic [auspices bas merited th public approval The Democratic party in this Stat stands as it has ever stood for religiou liberty, which is guaranteed to all b our Constitution, and arraign the Re publican party for its covert sympatb with and encouragement of that pros cr ?pt i ve spirit which attemps to set up religious test as a qualification for of ficial preferment in this land of freedon and which is propagated by a certaii secret organization, which receives jus condemnation at the hands of every fai minded man, but which the Republican last week distinctly refused, thougl earnestly urged, to condemn. Ou duty is plain and we shall perform i and, if adherence to the right bring disaster, we shall bravely accept ou fate and takr oar place in private sta tion by the side of our proscribed fel low citizens until reason, justice ant true religious freedom shall agaii resume their sway as surely they will ***** Fellov Democrats let us not underestimate tb< dangers which confront us We shal encounter the cohorts of corruption it this campaign, led by audacious anc unscrupulous leaders, who are fighting not only for the coutrol of New Yorl but of the country. We are on th< skirmish line of the great national batth of 189G, and the loss of New York maj : lose our party the presidency. Thc whole country is breathlessly and hope? fully watching our contest and we mus : do our full duty. Sinking every pre? judice, subordinating every selfish con sid erat t'?o, actua?ed only by high and ; patriotic motives, realizing how much ! is at stake, to bp won or lost ; mindful ! .of the gra?d traditions which beiong to the party of Jefferson. Jackson and ? Tilden ; knowing that a uni'ed dem" j ; cracv in this state means an i?ld-fash- j , inned democratic triumph, let us buckie j ; OD our armor and march together, like | ; the Macedonian phalanx of uld with ? 'locked shields and measured tread/ ti? j the contest that awaits us. wt;li courage. with resolution-with confidence- ! believing that our cause is just and thac j God and tbe rights surely will ?ive us j the victory." Pointers. Do not forget that If the Democratic I party has not been abie to do all it [ promised in 1892, it bas in spite of ihe j Republican opposition and their Demo eratic protection allies-the helpers done no little. Do not forget that it wiped out the infamous Federal election law that were a constant menace to liberty and fair elections. Do not forget that it bas rid the conn- ! try of the most rascally oppressive tax j law that was ever placed upou a free people-the McKinley monster-a j scheme of plunder to rob and oppress ? the poor for the sole benefit of a lew hundred thousand rieb maguates. Do not forget that it has placed on the free list some necessaries of life, which will help the laboring cU*a Do not forget that it has greatly re- j duced the tax on very many household j necessaries used in every house in the land. This reduction, as we before stated", will keep hundreds of millions j io the pockets of the 55,000,000 people ? who iu no way receive any benefit what? ever from the Tariff tax. Do not forget, and we remind you of it again, that tbe Democrats have al ready reduced expenditure.? as com pared with the Harrisou Republican Administration quite $30,000,000, a? ii is now estimated. Do tiot forget that the Democrat.? have passed a :aw to tax (be rich man's riches-his iocoiue. This is righteous, is just, is needed It is the be>t of ali taxes. It is put upon what a man has Do not forget that the Republicans i always favored the rich and oppressed the poor and toiling. Their tariff taxed all coarser and lower priced goods such as are generally worn by the great mass of the people, a much higher percentage thau it taxed the finer and higher priced grades worn by thc well-to-do aod rich Do not forget that the Republicans passed laws exempting from taxation the hundreds of millions of dollars of United States bonds (Vanderbilt held ?54,000,000 alone, untaxed,) while the Democrats pass an income tax so as to reach this rich, hitherto exempted class of Plutocrats. Do uot forget that while the Demo? crats have greatly reduced the tax on woolens and scores of other necessaries of life they have at the same time raised the tax OD spirits, increasing the reve oue thereby $20,000,000. This is tax on voluntary indulgence "You pays your money and takes your choice." Wheo you dance you must pay the piper. - Wilmington Messenger. Mr. H. A. Williams, who recent? ly resigned the position of master of trains of the Southern Railway lines in this State, will sever bis connection with the Southern and depart for Savannah, to assume the i duties of his new position with the F. C and P railroad. He will make Sa? vannah lis future home Mr. Wil? liams bas been a resident of Columbia for years, and Columbia will lose a fine citizen.

While 200 i locomotives have been boused, it is estimated that nine tenths of the mil? it?os squandered ou this prodigious enterprise is going to waste.
