on the Combsheo snd Ashsepoo rivers,
Rantow!es creek, Eliato river and
eastern and western branches of tho
Cooper river, show that the injury from the
storm to the north plantations and crops hes

her mentioned thirty.siI places only escaped
with light loss. Others have been fully or
almost entirely covered with salt water.
Breakers arc reported at thirty places and
young rice planted 10 Moy and June ia con-

hearly ready for harvesting has suffered
from 40 to 80 per cent. As many of the fields

Joe Howard, In ono Of his letters from
New York to the Philadelphia Times,
says: From Fofty-second street to 125th
street, between Third and Fifth avenues,
there are lines Of blocks Of houses going
mp or finished in which monarchs might
live IL they could afford the expense.
Block after block of brown stone houses,
four stories high, from eighteen to
thirty feet wide, from forty TO eighty
feet deep, confront the eye. They cost
from $25, 900 to 500, 900 to build, land
being worth all the way from $500 to
81, 900 foot. GenefAliy these. houses
are built to sell. Insurance companies
advance from S1b,00 to $50, 900 on 4
house thus enabling the builder to go
ahead, trusting to luck and credit 10
finish the houses, which are then offered
for sale and not to rent, Now and thsn,
for the sake OF getting the right kind Of
people on block, the builder will rent
one or two IN block Of eight or ten
houses, but the price is exorbitant and
tenants find that, Is the houses we're
built to sell, there are many little things
10 be done which cost money, tax
patience and cause trouble.
But Of that never mind.
The point I wish to make is that New
York Is growing very fast, and in way
which indicates either speculative fever
or marvellous prosperity. II tenants in
thousands OF houses can afford to pay
rentals OF nom s2.600 TO $500 year
they must be In pretty comfortable cir
cumstanoes. You can count on yous
fingers, or on . blackboard, at least 4000
houses In given district in which
tenants live who pay over $500 rent.
That means, 1t . low calculation, $40, 900
family expenses year. Now think Of
it. How many Of your friends ten OF
twenty years ago could afford SIC, 900 q
year.? And didn't you think whom you
heard OF q. mans spending $40, 900 q
year that he was o deuce Of fellow
or course you did. Well, here they
are In thousands. OF course there are
hundreds Of men Who epend five times
that sum every year, but they bear no
spooisl relation TO th6 prosperity Of the
general community.
