SeHTE?'S HEART IS TOUGHED. Purse Strings Loosened and Mon ey Freely Given for Relief of Piedmont Flood Sufferers. A mass meeting of the citizens of Snmter was held in the Conrt Honse Monday at 12 o'clock in response to the call of Mayor Stockey. There were present about two hundred of the re? presentative citizens of the town, mer ?v chants, bankers, physicians, preach era. clerks, and mechanics, and quite a number of ladies. The meeting wis called to order and the object briefly stated to be to raise money to relieve the immediate needs and to alleviate the suffering of the 7,000 destitute mill operatives, Clifton and Pacolet mills village whose I?- homes, housebold^effects and means of livelihood were swept away by the disastrous flood of Saturday morning. Judge E. O. Purdy, was elected chair? man, and Mr. C. M. Hurst, Secretary of the meeting. Judge Purdy made a few remarks touching upon the necessity of im? mediate relief for the homeless and destitute people of the Spartanburg mill dstrict, and expressing his confi >: dence tbat the people of Sumter would respond liberally, as ever, to the call of the needy. Hon. B. I Manning, made a short and feeling speech giving in a few graphic sentences an outline of the terrible disaster, and stated the monetery loss inflicted upon the most prosperous mills in the South with? in a few moments of tima by the flood of waters pouring down Pacolet River and Lawsons' Fork from the moun? tains of-North Carolina and the high hills of Spartanburg. He told of the destitute condition of the thousands of mill operatives who not only lost their little all in the way of household goods, but worse still were deprived of their sole means of earning a living by the destruction of the factories in which they labored from day today. He appealed to the people te give at once and to give as freely and liberally as their means would permit He offered a resolution that a com? mittee of men be appointed by the chairman to canvass to the city for contributions of money and a committee of ladiies to solicit contributions of clothing, the money and clothing to be fowarded at the earliest possible moment H Mr. J. A. Schwerin moved that be? fore the appointment of the com? mittees a collection be taken up from among those present and that all pre? sent be given an opportunity to sub? scribe. CarriecL >. Hon. Altamont Moses offered a re? solution that the mass meeting peti? tion the City Council to meet im? mediately in special session and ap? propriate $500 to supplement the fund raised by private subscription. y- Carried. p; Mr. A. B. Stuckey offered a resolu? tion that the county officials be re? quested to meet at the earliest date possible and at that meeting appro? priate $500 to supplement the fund otherwise raised for the flood sufferers. Carried. ; The following committees were ap? pointed : Neill O'Donnell, W. B. Boyle, J. A. Schwerin, L. I. Parrott, Altamont : , Moses. Miss Dulcie Moise, Mrs. Agnes Bogin, Miss Lucia Roach, Mrs. J. G. DeLonne, Mrs. C. L. Stubbs, Miss Louise Bright. The subscriptions poured in on the -? Secretary until nearly every person in the Court House had given something for the good cause. More than $500 was subscribed within a few minutes and the greater part was paid at once. Immediately after the adjournment of the meeting Mr. Hurst wired $450.84-the amount collected-to the relief committee in Spartanburg and notified them that more would fol , low. A special meeting of the City Council was held at 1 o'clock to con? sider the question of making an ap? propriation for the flood sufferers.* The matter was discussed at some length, a part of the council favoring an appropriation of $500, as requested by the mass meeting, and others an ap? propriation of $250. A vote was taken and the majority decided to appro? priate $250. This sum was made immediately available and it will be forwarded with the next remittance from the citizens' committee. Among the contributions that will be noted in the list is one from the First Methodist Sunday School of $26.65. This sum had been raised for the annual picnic to be held this week, but at the meeting of the Sunday School Sunday afternoon the children voted unanimously to % give up the picnic and send the money to the people of Clifton and Pacolet whose sad and destitute condition ap? pealed to the sympathies of the children more strongly than a desire for a picnic. The committees met and organized y immediately after the mass meeting and the canvass of the city for money and clothing will be undertaken with vigor and earnestness this afternoon.

The following telergam from the engineering company has been recieved by Charles P. Tamer, the resident engineer: "Owing to the failare on the part of the Mchawk Steel Com? pany officials to make the second pay? ment on our engineering fee now past due, we find it necessary to suspend all work in connection with their plant at Brunswick. You will there? fore proceed to close up your affairs at that point and return to Columbus at once. ' ' For the past month this engineering company has had a force of hands at work on the plant, and most of the engineering work has been completed. Besides the emlpoyees of the com pany, the Mohawk people have also had a large force of hands at work clearing away the site, laying piling for the foundation, etc. None of the officials of the Mohawk company are in the city. Cok E. C. Machen, formerly presi? dent of the Brunswick and Birming? ham railway, is in the city from New York, where he has been for the past several weeks. He confirms the story that he has sold and severed his con? nection with the road. When asked how much stock Senator McLaurin had invested in the Brunswick and Bir? mingham. Col. Machen replied that that was a matter of which he knew very little. He thinks, however, that the new managers of the road will push it on to Birmingham. THIS IS BEAL CHARITY. Gainesville, Ga., Though in Dire Distress, Gives $1,000 for Relief of Pacolet and Clifton. Gainesville, Ga, June 7.-Though in dire distress, Gainesville today raised a sum amounting to over $500 for the sufferers by the flood at Paco? let and other points in Sontli Caro? lina, and tomorrow a check for the amount will be forwarded to the prop? er authorities for relief. It is expect? ed that the sum will amount to $1,000 or more. At the " churches today nearly $500 was contributed to the fund and the other was raised among the citizens outside. At the churches in Gainesville this morning special services were held, the theme of the sermons being the "Supremacy of God." The congrega? tions were not large, as the relief work continues, and a majority of the citizens were engaged in this outside work. Those congregations, whose houses were destroyed, worshipped in the churches remaining, selecting an hour later than the regular time for their services. This order will be continued until new churches are erected.-Augusta Chronicle. FAST MAIL TRAIN WRECKED. Collision Near Fort Ml on the Southern Railway. Charlotte, N.

He was given a hearty reception by the people of the Capital, who lined tho sidewalks as his carriage, escorted by the battalion ofwigb School cadets, was driven to the Whit House.

South Carolina farmers are interest? ed in the report that the floods in the West have seriously affected the crop of corn and wheat. Those who prefer to purchase Western corn rather tnan cultivate a crop may ponder over the " outlook with considerable concern. They will have to pay a long price for the cereal, and if cotton creeps to five cents the bottom will drop out of the full dinner pall. In its review of the depressing situation the New York Commercial says: The heavy rains throughout the great corn-growing regions beyond the flooded valleys, if continued much longer will, it is feared, do irrepar? able injury. All of the corn planting that was done was done before May 15, and probably not more than 60 or 70 per cent, of the planting was finished up to that date. Then the heavy rains commenced through Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa, and this prevent? ed the farmers from continuing their work in the fields. The wet weather has continued so long that the farmers have been unable to look after the corn which they had planted, and it is now becoming so late that, even if good weather should ar? rive, it is doubtful if it would be ad? visable to add much to the corn acre? age, for the reason that it would be likely to bring the late planted crop into the season of frost, when it was in a critical condition. Probably a large percentage of the early sown corn will be all right in the advent of good weather very soon. At best, it is feared that there will be a corn shortage in the fall of from 30 to 40 per cent. Oats are said to have been affected almost as much as corn. Wheat, however, has, up to the pre? sent time, not been materially affected, ' although the long continued wet spell will probably make it two weeks later than usual. John Brownfield, the negro barber of Georgetown, who killed the deputy sheriff of that county about three years, ago and whose arrest came near precipitating a race war, will be ar? raigned and resentenced at the next term of the court of General Sessions of that county. It will doubtless be remembered that the negro attorneys for Brownfield appealed to the State Supreme Court from the finding of the circuit court, on the ground that there was no negro in the panel which heard his case. The Supreme Court affirmed the findings of the lower court from which decision, Brownfield appealed to the United States Supreme Court upon the same grounds, which court has affirmed the decision of both the circuit and State Supreme Court,, and Brownfield will be resentenced to be hanged. A Phiilippine Hurricane. Manila June 5.-A hurricane has swept over the Philippine Islands and great damage has been done to ship? ping.

All on board these vessels were saved. For Cash No Cards Punched AT COST ? Our Semi-Annual Cost Sa?e begins Monday, the 8th, and stops on the 20th, inclusive.
