Terrific Tornado.
NEW York, March 10,

NEW IOlth, uldIou 1Ot
A special from Atlanta, Ga, says:
"The city of Atlanta experienced to-day
the severest wind storm or rainless tor
nado ever known here. The storm burst
suddenly about II o'clock a. IN: and
when all the churches were filled with
worshippers, and lasted, without rain but
with steady and tremendous force, for
two hours. The Episcopal Church, like
others, was filled at the hour for the COM
meucement of divine service, and no
thought of danger was entertained by
the congregation but during the early
part of the service, the wind suddenly
rose and shook the whole building 20 its
foundation. The officiating minister
realized at once that tornado had struck
the building, and knowing it was merely
question of minutes to secure the safety
of the people, he cried out to Them to
throw themselves under the seats. This
advice the congregation at once followed,
and not a moment zoo SOON. With a few
fearful creaks and jars of its roof and
walls, the whole building crumbled into
a shapeless ruin, burying the congregation
under the debris. Luckily the shelter
afforded by the seats protected the great
mass of the congregation, but eighteen
were seriously wounded by the falling
timbers. None of these, however, have
died. Several other churches in Atlanta
have been seriously injured, their walls
shaken aud roof, partly stripped. The
City Hall was entirely unroofed and the
car sheds of the railroad depot unset
tied. There YVES great damage, an esti-
mate of which cannotyet be determined.

Jersey Cattle.

Our country is undergoing-a great re-
form in the mode of keeping cattle as
we'll as in the mode Of administering our
political interests. But we propose to
confine our remarks exclusively to the
former interest. AS the farmer learns to
pasture his cattle he will naturally begin
to take notes and make memorandums
of the superior points of the different
breeds, by way of ascertaining what
kind of stock will best pay him for his
trouble and preparation of the pasture.
1t only requires glance at the general
appearance and profits of the present
stock of our country to determine that
something must lie done quickly ("and
'twere woll done if done quickly') to inn
prove the blood of our degenerate stock.
or we must soon give up milk and butter
as among the things that ~ere-long,
long ago. The difference between our
common stock and the higher bred stock
is 80 palpable that. it is unnecessary here
to introduce formal comparison. We
orly ask the farmer to bear in mind the
commendation of The Jersey cattle pub
lished in this paper of the 31st January
last, and add 10 it the extract hereto an
nexed, descriptive of their superior milk
ing and butter producing qualities, and
answer honestly whether the productive
abilities of the finer stock would pay to
substitute for the inferior. We think it
would be fair estimate to tosuppose that
it would require three common COWS to
produce the same quantity of milk and
butter (of an inferior grade) in given
time that thorough bred would yield,
of fancy grade; and that each of the
common COWS will eat as much food as
the fine COW. And so far as cows are
concerned, tho owncr of the three would
be out the feed of two COWS, without any
profit. And if this be true, it would be
cheaper to keep one than three COWS.
Besides, the one would cost about $50,
and the three would be dear at $50 per
head. If there is ali objection to the
Jersey, tits that they do not fatten kind

The County Executive Committee Of
the Democratic party held an informal
meeting in the INTELIGENcER OFFICE
son last Tuesday morning, aud organized
temporarily by the election Of Maj. B. F.
Whitner Secretary. 1t was decided to
hold political meeting in Anderson on
Wednesday, the 9th inst, to follow the
military review, and for the purpose of
making the necessary arrangements the
County Chairman was authorized to ap-
point such a committee rs he might deem
proper. The invitation of speakers was
also left to Gen. w. w. Humphreys and
the County Chairman. 1t was the sense
of the Committee that having thus fully
reorganized the Clubs, bringing them
together in one grand rally to hear the
Governor and the other distinguished
speakers would sufficiently settle the pol
itics of the County, and that our farmers
could afford to go to their crops without
the necessity Of frequent meetings until
later in the year. The meeting was har-
monious, and the members present enter
tanned the most cheerful views as to the
political prospects of the Anderson De-
snocracy.

ly; the food they eat goes to milk and
butter. They arc not profitable for beef,
but since this is not a beef growing
country this hardly amounts to an OBJ
lection.
The Devon is quite handsome and a
very desirable stock, and would proba-
bly, suit this country very we'll. Perhaps
cross of the two would produce stock
better adapted to the grazing resources
of this section than either of the pure
breeds. But this our farmers must learn
by practical experiment. The Durham,
Holstein and other large breeds are man
ifestly better adapted to rich clover and
grass growing sections.
Read the following facts to prove the
value of the Jersey as milk and butter
producer, compiled by the Hon. D. Wyatt
Aiken:
AMr. Motley, of Massachusetts, reports
that he had Jersey cow that produced
oil pounds of butter in one year without
extra keeping" AMr. Davenport of the
same State reports having jersey that
yielded daily average of q quarts of
milk for year. A Mr.. Reed reports a
Jersey that produced II pounds of butter
in one week. "A Mr.. McConverses shas a
Jersey cow in Massachusetts that in 80
days yielded 1885 quarts of milk, from
which was chuened 247 pounds of butter.
Also one that in sS days in June, July
and August gave 1858 quarts of milk,
which produced 239 pounds of butter.
Jersey butter sells in and around Boston
at one dollar per pound. Mr.. Adams, the
founder of Adams Express Company,
(recently dead,) was great fancier of the
Jersey cattle, and kept dairy farm from
which the butter was sold at standard
price of rs cents per pound for year at
q time. A Mr.. Vail, of Vermont, from
herd of eight grade Jerseys, made an av-
erage of $50 pounds of butter to the COW,
and had cream enough to supply family
of nine persons. He fed good timothy
.hsy and two quarts of corn-meal daily to
each cow, and frequently made twelve
pounds of butter per week from each.
He bad a thoroughbred Jersey that
dropped her first calf at two years and
three days old, and in one month after
wards produced ten pounds of butter in
one week. Mr.. Wood, of Vermont, from
three Jersey COWS fed family of five
persons, all the milk and cream they
needed, and sold sO1 pounds of butter in
one year. From SO pounds of milk he
churned 50 ounces of butter. From four
quarts Of milk he made over one pound
of butter. From one cow he received in
two days nearly four pounds of butter !;
from another four pounds and two ounces
in the same time, and for two months in
midsummer and when grass was abund-
ant and rich his entire herd averaged q
pound of butter from every five quarts
of milk for two months.
Innumerable instances arc on record OF
as great yields as any of the above In
several of the Northern States, where
special care and attention have been gwen
to these wonderful cattle.

The compromise of the Bond Debt
question will be sanctioned or condemned
by the people according as the .Legisla-

men learned in tho Law, impartial and
