TIE sroIM or FRIDAY.

The gale on last Friday was the most con-
tinuous and severe that has ever been e1pe-
rienced in this country. Beginning little
after midnight the wind was q perfect hurrl-
cane for near twenty-four hours, uprootlng
quantities of trees and demolishing many
fences throughout the County and damag-
ing the roofs of number Of houses. AT
times the rain fell in tremendous torrents,
swelling the streams very much, washing
off mill dams. deluging the low lands OF the
County and cutting the plowed uplands
with ugly bitches. Considerable damage
was done to our farmers. During the day it
sleeted and showed but did not lie upon the
ground, and on the following morning the
Blue Ridge Mountains presented beautiful
sight, rejecting the bright sunlight from
their high peaks, which were wrapped in
deep snow. We have never seen such
combination of rain and storm continue for
so long time.

WILLIAMSON, S. c., April 1e, 1877

Messrs Editors: The cause of temperance
is rapidly gaining ground in and around
Williamson. A division was started at this
place during the summer of 1876 with fifteen
chartered members. Since that time there
has been scarcely a meeting without one or
more accessions. The division now num-
bers about one hundred members. 1t is
encouraging indeed 10 see what change
has come over our little village for the last
few months. There are quite number of
young ladies who have Joined in with US to
battle against the all pervading destroyer,
alcohol, besides some very old men. All
seem to be joined hand in hand in the glori-
Gus cause, and agree that no whiskey must
be used during the reign of our beloved
Hampton. at regular meeting of this
division, on Saturday evening, 7th inst, the
following officers were elected to serve the
ensuing quarter:
H. I. Epting, w. P; G. E. Horton, w.
A.; E. R. Horton, R. S.; G. W. Anderson,
A. r. s.; ]. T. Rogers, F. S.; Hugh Ma
haffey, T.; Rev. S. Lander, Chap. T. B.
Crymes, c.; ]. w. Williams, A. c.; H. 1.
Horton, I. S.; H. NJ. Prince, o. s.; E. 1.
Pinson, P. w. P.
The installation took place on last Satur-
day at the Presbyterian Church, which was
well filled with spectators. After the in
stallation was over, Bro. II. I. Epting, D. G.
w. p, made very able address, cautioning
the people against the use of spirituous
liquors and showing what terrible results
would follow its use upon the human sys-
tenn. Bro. s. Lander was then introduced,
who closed with some very appropriate re-
marks. After the speaking was over the
procession formed and marched to the hall.
I almost forgot to mention that some of the
young ladies of our division made and pre-
sented to the division, on the day of the in
stallation, three beautiful banners, red,
white and blue May the temperance flag
in triumph wave, o'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave, is the prayer oi

HopEWELL..

For two weeks rain has been excessive,
accompanied with high wind, prostrating
trees and fences. Thecotton planting season
is here, but not seed is in the ground.
...... Most farmers are economizing their time
by preparing summer wood and doing mill
ing for the future:.....s. is one of those who
was laying. up meal for q dry day, and on
crossing swollen stream on his way to
mill the strong current swept his grist away,
but not without shrieks, surges and sighs on
the part of the owner. He did his whole
duty to prevent it at the time, and since, for
three days, in sounding the despicable
stream. "They that have must lose," and
he is reconciled.. 1T is a strange thing that
a man can be warmed and fed by the mer
chant: instructed and amused by the editor;
the tender minds of his offspring taught
how to shoot" by the teacher; his life pro
longed and saved by the doctor; his soul
made to rejoice by glad tidings from the
preacher, and, when the bills are presented
for the same, express his deep regret of utter
inability to pay, but can fork over the cash
for contraband whiskey...... following
officers of Hopewell Division, No. rs, were
installed, on the 7th inst, to serve the
present quarter: a. NJ. Guyton, W. P; W..

for them remunerative custom. In addi-

dressed the runners of the mill according to
the Russian mode, which is decided i'm
provement upon our system. Mr.. c. is
man of energy. He migrated to this vicini-

worn out farm upon which people predicted
he would not make living, but which he
has brought up to comparative high state

Good Advice.

Now is the time of year for Pneumonia,
Lung Fever, &c. Every family should have
o bottle of BoscHEEs GERMAN SYRUP. Don't
allow for one moment that cough to take
hold of your child, your family or yourself.
Consumption, Asthma, Pneumonia, Group
Hemorrhages, and other fatal diseases may
set in. Although it is true GERMAN SYRUP
is curing thousands of these dreaded dis
eases, yet it is much better to have it at hand
when three doses will cure you. One Bottle
will last your whole family winter and
keep you safe from danger. If you are con,
sumptiye, do not rest until you have tried
this remedy. Sample Bottles 10 cents. Reg
ular size IS cents. Sold by your Druggists,

General Fitz Lee says he was three
years at West Point with Gov. Nichols.
He says Nichols "was popular, strong
willed, amiable and audacious. If
Packard and his friends think they can
bull doze' General Nichols out of the
rights conferred upon him by a majority
of some ten thousand votes, they will lose
time, and, if they shoot, life.

The colored Republicans Of Charles

meeting, for the purpose of publicly and
formally withdrawing their opposition to
Governor Hampton, and pledging him
their aid in the establishment of peace

THE WONDERFUL TELEPHONE.

In one of my previous letters, I alluded
to the telephone concert, which was to
take place at the Academy of Music, and
as it has taken place and was grand
success, I must give you the interesting
programme of music, which was received
by telegraph from Philadelphia. I can
not compliment the entertainment at
Steinway Hall, on the End inst, as the
heavy rain fail prevented the perfect
transmission of the music. However, as
the first melody was received the enthu-
siasm of the scientific audience was i'm
mense. Besides the telephone amuse-
ment, Mr.. Strakasch had provided for an
extra concert, and it was more appre-
ciated than the form; #. A short lecture
was delivered by Professor Gray, and the
following programme from Philadelphia
was received: "Home, Sweet Home y
"Come Gentil )" "Then you'll Remember
Me-" "Last Rose of Summer :" I'M.
Appaxie ;" "The Carnival of Venice"
In few seconds after the programme
was mentioned, CLONE, Sweet Home
was distinctly heard all over the house
after which the audience went into a
perfect state of enthusiasm. Some of the
high notes were inaudible, but were e1-
cused, however, as the telephone was
thought to "have a cold" The house
was full, and the utmost good humor
prevailed.
In Brooklyn, last night, the telephone
concert was a complete success, every all
being distinctly he'd. 40, Summer
night" and yankee ..Joodle" we're won.
derful illustrations Of what the telephone
can do, and the audience sent up round
after round of applause, thereby showing
their high appreciation of this scientific
apparatus, which, like Franklin's kite
and Morse's great discovery, is destined
to become an instrument of the greatest
utility. Philadelphia is go miles or more
from New York, and to be able to listen
to music, perfect music, in Brooklyn
transmitted from Philadelphia instanta,
neously and at the will of man, is too
great for contemplation, and deserves tc
be considered wonderful fact.
Mr.. Strakasch will take the apparatus
to England, we understand, and play, or
her Majesty's birthday, 24th of May
"God Save the Queen" 1t will be
played in Liverpool and will be audible
in Buckingham Palace.

GEN. MCDOWELL wrote under date of July 10 to the Secretary of War, asking that the order re- lieving Gen Kautz from the com mand of the department of Ari- zona and placing Gen. Wilcox in command be delayed until Kautz could have an opportunity of sub- hitting his side of the Gum Kautz controversy. Gen. Kautz's de- fense in answer to the allegations that he has allowed Indians to roam at will within his depart ment is, that no depredatiOns have been committed recen tly within the boundaries of his commando and he claims that newspapers have reported depredatiOns on the Upper Gila 0nly-and that troops were in active pursuit of the depredatO,s. The newspapers referred to must mean the Grant County Herald. Now K is getting up his defense and the military authorities have called upon us for information on the subject of the Indian murders in our county. We have furnished them with copies of those numbers of the Herald containg accounts of the killing of Brandt, on the Upper Gila; of Peter Davis, near Pueblo ViejO; of the Negro man murder ed on the Mimbres andof all the stock stealing that it has been our painful duty to chronicle. We hope that this investigation will result in some attention being shown to the protection Of this county from marauding savages. We have invariably sent Gen. Pope copies of our paper contain ing narratives of Irdian stealing and murdering. But the Dept. Commander, perhaps, does not value the information he may obtain through the columns of a newspaper. as We have never heard that he noticed them. Mes. sieurs les militaires might find it to their interest to pick up such inc0nsideiable trifles of news as they find in the columns of intel Iigent and impartial journals. Newspapers frequently. for good or evil, raise a tempest around the heads of persons in authOrity.- l [Grant County Herald.

 The toWnof La Paz was founded in 1862, at point near the Color ado, about 120 miles above Fort Yuma, and soon contained large population. CarletOn's California Column had marched into Arizona by way of Fort Yuma and the supply of army transportation and forage atwar prices, supplemented by continued activity all through the Territory in mining and pros' pecting made business very good.
 In 1862 nearly the whole town of Yuma was washed away by an unprecedented freshet of the Gila river. The water poured down Main street and into the Colorado in a stream six or seven feet deep. Hooper's store, near the river, was completely washed away. J. w.. Jones, who afterward built the Yuma Exchange, now occupied by Redondo & Balsz, then had an extensive ranch on the Gila bot toms just above town. On part of his farm the water stood nearly
