COMMISSIONER BARRETT.

1t will be remembered by the
readers of The MESSENGER, that
in our last issue we gave por-
ton of the controversy existing
between Commissioner Barrett, of
Pickens, and A. Nj. Howell, of
Greenville. In this issue, on ac-
count Of one or more cogent rea-
sons, we propose to treat of the
matter ourselves. 1t should seem
perfectly natural, in as much as
Pickens County is SO directly con-
cerned, that her county papers
should remark upon the subject
We are here to advocate Honor,
Justice and Truth. Each Of
these we are willing to deal out to
Mr.. Barrett, either as they may
be, for, or against him. He is in
a public position, and his acts,
whether good or evil, necessarily
concern the public. The charge
made against him is serious one,
and one which should insure the
closest attention. If the people of
Pickens County have been unlaw-
fully used as the means Of Com
missioner Barrett filling his pri-
vate purse, then it is high time for
them to take some steps, whereby,
in some way they might receive
amends for the outrages perpetra-
ted against them. 1T is never
too late to do good If there are
facts sufficiently strong to war
rant On investigation of Mr. Barctt's
conduct, then we think it ONLY
right that our people should apply
to the y. $. Government for it's
thorough investigation. If it will
stand an honest test, then we will
state it to the public for his bene-
tit, if it should fail to do that
We will not be less severe in our
criticisms upon him. We shall
endeavor to uphold law and order,
but is it right in any public charac-
ter, to SO far pcrvert that law and
order, as to incur uncalled for ex-
penses On our government, and
injuries on private individuals !?
What have the people TO say ?

The Latest Cyclone.

| OLA CROSSE, October 11.-Further de-
tails have been received of the terrific cyclone
that struck the little town of Arcadia, Trem-
pealan county Monday night, doing much
damage to property and injuring several
persons there and in the county adjoining.
None OF the injured will die. The Storm
struck the town at midnight. A cor
respondent says it came from the southwest.
ana upon its approach the air was so
charged with electricity that lights could not
be made to burn, and people rushed to
their cellars in darkness to avoid the
threatened danger. The entire atmosphere
was OF peculiar reddish green color, with
strong sulphuric odor, and the deafenine
roar OF the tornado is utterly indescribable.
Barns and outbuildings were lifted from
their foundations and torn TO fragments anfi
scattered prOmiscuously in all directions.
Broken boards, trees, bricks and stones
Tiled the air, and were hurled with such
violence in some instances as to drive them
through the sides of buildings. Among the
losers are Patrick Manning and farmer OIL
son, who lost everything, barns, houses and
Value not stated. John Bine-
ham, granary, barn and contents, 100 tons
of hay, four horses and blooded stock. |
$500. John Robertson, house, barn and
outbuildings destroyed; live stock escaped
injury; loss, 1000. Jas. Gayeney, barn,
fences, orchard, damaged 5000 State
Senator Comstock's new sorghum mill was
destroyed, and his barn wrecked. There
we're many other damages, varying from
200 to 81, 900. Mrs. Bessey and Miss Pipa,
Who were the most seriously injured by their
alling residence, are considered out of
hanger. The cyclone seems to have spent

Usual damage to property, but causing no

WASHINGTON,

The secretary of state, on behalf Of
the president, addressed letter to the COM
missioner of agriculture, stating that mas
much as certain foreign governments have
charged that the hog products of the United
States are affected with disease and not
proper for export purposes, the president
has decided to appoint a commission to in
vestigate thoroughly the curing of pork in
this country, and has named as members Of
Prof. c. F. Chandler, E. Blatchford, F.
D. Curtis, Prof. E. D. Falmon. The presi-
dent states he has no authority to guarantee
| expenses of the commission, but has no
doubt that in view of the magnitude of the
| commercial interests involved congress will
meet all bills incurred for this purpose. The
commissioner of agriculture, as chairman of
the commission, is directed to summon his
associates and proceed to work without de-
lay.
Returns to the agricultural depart
ment of the condition of cotton up to Octo-
average condition from "a to IS. Indications
are that the crop will fall short of the last
crop more than a million bales.
The agricultural department report
indicates corn will average 25 bushels, the
total crop being about 1, 625 200, 900 bushels.
The total wheat crop is estimated at 414, =
00O, 600 bushels.
A daily exchange of registered mail |
pouches has been arranged between New |
York and Portland, Oregon.
1t is understood the civil service COM
mission has asked the president to direct
further classification of employees in the gov
eminent service, so as to bring within oper-
alton of the civil service rules the class of
now receiving less than $500 per
annum. The president is believed to favor
the proposition, and it thought that he will
soon direct Redistribution of employees re-
ceiving less than 81 200, which will include
a number of those receiving less than 5000,
and who are not now subject to the regua-
lions of the civil service commission. 1t is
not thought, however, employees receiving
ess than $500 will be included in the classi-
ication.
A general order from army head =
quarters promulgates the sentence of the t
'ourt-martial in Lieut.. Robertson's case, ! |
him from his rank and COM |
nana for six months, he to be confined to {
he limits of his post, and be reprimanded l
n general orders. The proceedings of the !.
curt are approved by the president, but the
ndings and sentence are disapproved, and y
lieut.. Robertson is relieved from arrest and E
rdered to return to his duties. Robertson, -
will be remembered, was tried for dupli- /,
ating his pay accounts. q

How to Take a Girls Arm.

The vulgar habit of clutching a girl
midway between the elbow and the
shoulder-blade is INDUCED in only by
the dudes; by a gentleman never.
The southern gentleman of cul-
ture bends his arm at the elbow and the
latter member resting on his hip, while
his hand is allowed to run straight
out in front of him. In the niche thus
formed the arm of the lady is allowed
to rest, her dainty hand neither touch
ing his broad palm nor any other part
of his arm, but is allowed to dangle
gracefully at the side of his wrist. The
support thus furnished the fair one is
more secure than the old style of allow
ing the tips of the fingers to rest lightly
on the sleeve OF the gentleman's coat.
