A Severe Storm.

On Tuesday last one of the most terrific
storms of wind and rain passed over this town
and vicinity that we have experienced for many
years. Its direction was from North West to
South East, and it arose 50 suddenly that it ere
atcd considerable alarm among the people. We
do not remember ever seeing more dense and
aweinspring clouds, while the wind was terrific
blowing the rain in sheets, aS it were, prostrat-
ing large trees, fences, and blowing down cab
ins. The atmosphere suddenly became very
cold, and North of this we learn they had n
hail storm. We are also told that snow fell
early Wednesday, morning. The first few
days of March were mild and lamb-likc but
the month left roaring like lion.

ESrIriNG AWAY L>nnREES.-Wc have been
asked SO many questions about the recent leg
iSlntlnn upon tho subject of contracts. and there
seems IL hc so much misrepresentation on the
subject, that we again publish the late Act,
which is aS follows:
lie il enacted by the Senate and House Of
Representatives of the State of South Carolina
now met and sitting in General Assembly, and
by the authority of the same, That any person
or persons who shall cnti.c or persuade. hy any
means whatsoever, any tenant or tenants, Labor

c"ntrac. with another, shall he deemed guilty
of a mSlcmcnnor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be tincl not less than twenty five nor more
than one hundred dollars. or he imprisoned in
the county Jail not less than ten nor more than
thirty days.
1t will therefore he seen that the new law
imposes no penalties upon the lahorcr of any
kind. 1t simply gives the contractor the right
t" in'lict and punish by fine or Imprisonment
the person who cnticcS or perSuadcs away the

noticed that the remedy is given not only where
the contract il in writing. hut also where it is

the Act, il is, therefore, necessary To have one

poSel canal, containing many eligible mill sites,
which interest passes under the transfer, aud
in the near future must become very valuable

rany.
The charter, for which application is made,
provides for capital stock of one million OF
dollars while the work, as at present proposed,
will require the sum CT six hundred thousand

The people of Columbia are in earnest, and
the promptness, energy AMI liheraliry with
which they have taken up this enterprise is
without precedent. In less than one week, AMI
before the subscription books could be opened,
upAarus Of one hundred thousand dollars lad
been pledged.
The work, however is one Of great mag Gnitude
and involves expenditure beyond the ability Of
this community. Nor is the interest merely 10.
cal, but reaches out to every part Of the state.
We call, therefore, upon all, from the mountains
to the scaboard, to take part in this great cen
trail development, involving not alone the pros.
pcrity Of our capital, but, in its ramifcations,
affecting the prosperity Of the entire State.
Opportunity will bc afforded all to become

An ANTI-R Rent LEAGUE ~ BHoOKLYS.-BrOok-
lyn, March 2I.-A mass meeting was held this
afternoon at Gernauia Hall for the purpose of
forming permanent organization of rent pay
ing citizens of Brooklyn to prevent the contcm,
plated increase of rent from May !, and to re-
siSt all unjust demands of landlords for the fu
turc. About five hundred rcut payers were
present including many Socialists and Commu
nists. Tho speakers were Socialists of more
or less pronounced type, and their dcnuncaion
of landlords and declaration of Socialistic doc
triues lcd to frequent and vigorous Outbursis Of
applause. william Wagner, chairman pro TEN,
said that the landlords had made an unjust de-
maud for an increase of from 80 to 80 per cent.
AMI after the lst OF May. The question was
whether the working class would submit to ex-
tortion. There were no grounds for this increase,
for the laboring men have not felt the salutary
effects of prosperity. lie warned them that
they would all bc compelled to pay higher rents
if they did not cont inc to prevent il.
Osborne Ward declared that organized resist
ancc to the tyranncal demands the only
hope for t c workingmcn and poor classes.
Joseph a. Ilaller aud VIM. a. IIorane were
chosen secretaries, and read in English and q r.
man The plan of organization. The name of the
organization was declared to be 1.-The Just Rent

il to unite all inhabitants of the city of Brook

AT the great dog fight near Louisville

Baltimore, Cincinnati, and other points,
and fully $4,000 was bet on the result.
For an hour and twenty-five minutes
this crowd stood and looked at the dogs
tearing each other, until one was dead.
These men were not heathens, from
China, but Christians CD, who no doubt
