A 1lAFT oP TIMBER, WITH EIanr Men on BOARD.
Six MILES At SEA.-The Savannah Ns,os and
Herald, OF Monday, SAYS: "On Saturday the sloop
Miriam and Caroline. Capt. LION, arrived nj this
port from Rlutton, =. c., having OH board eight
men who were rescued from raft OF tinlber which
had gono out to sea. The raft came from South
CaronG. The manager OF tho samo, 9 white man,
being asleep. whom it reached tho mouth Of tho
river, it was carried out by the lido TO sea, They
foung themselves passing the ship Tasmania, at
Tybee and called for ropo to secure Tho raft, but
being unheeded, they were swept aiong until op.
posito Tybee Light, when tue keeper put out in
his boat and rescued the crew, seven colorcd aud
one white man, who we're brought to Savannah, as
above stated, by tho Miriam and Caroline. The
raft being lef 10 ts fate, It was broken up on the
breakers and! lines the shore Of North Tyboe
Island.'
TIE HEALTH OF The Orrr.-Ye have again and
again stated that Charleston has never enioyed
better health than during the past summer and
present season. Every caro- has been taken by the
Board OF Health, the municipal, and military au-
thoritios to place the city in thorough sanitory
condition, and 1t needs but perusal OF the mortu-
ary reports, which published weekly in the
oity PaPora, to rofrte fasn atatn,ant that may
BIO made. we learn that certain parties who arc
travelling throughout the State, probably Northern
omissarics, are striving to prejudice tho country
against Charleston by circulating ro-
port Of yellow foyor. This rlmor has already de-
TERED several merchants from visiting the CITY, but
our only answer In the publiahed report Of DR.. GEO.
g. PELzER by this It will be Seen that but twelve
whitos and seventeen biacks died in this city
during the past week, and none Of the deaths we're
caused by any epidemic. The mortuary reports
are off ial and authentic, and any statement to the
contrary is false and malicious, and originated by
designing parties.
REoIsTRATIoS m THE Orr AND STATE.-The re-
turns from the different precincts throughout the
State, though not complete, arc sufficiently al
Tauced to form an approximate idea OF the total.
In the City of Charleston, to tho Goth instant,
s2s9 white voters we're registered, to 5lol colored
giving colored majority of 1912. The different
districts OF the State, far as heard from, give
23. .S92 whites, to-d7,Ss6 colored voters leaving
majority in fayor Of the negroes of 1894. This,
added to tho majority in Charleston, will give
them clear majority Of Is BOG i'll the emlire State.
1t will be seen, from this statement that the
blacks outnumber the whites almost two 10 one,
as hut 20 G31 white names enrolled, to SO 4S7
coiored. II has boon said that fisuras never lr
and the result shows lalpable want nf animation
amore The whites. Tho Importance of promptly
has heen frequently alluded to III Our
columns, and al the eleventh honr we agaim nl,go
all white citizens who have neglected this great
duty, to como forward aal register. There is yoL
timo, and the country and State alike lemani
their scryiooH.
