The Charleston Me,rs and Courier, of last
Friday, contained the following:
Col. Samuel B. Pickens, who has recent
| Iy returned from visit to his fathers place
near Pendleton, which was seriously lnJur-
ed by the cyclone few days ago, in con-
yersation with reporter for the NeWs ana
Courier yesterday gave very grapnlc de.
scription of the approach and the work OF
the cyclone as witnessed by his father, Col.
T. j. Pickens, and by his mother, brother
and sister who were on the place at the
| time. 49,
The tornados approach was heralded by
fearful Kissing noise and 1t was seen
mile off like huge cone stretching from
the earth to the clouds. Trees, ROCKS, PFC
ces Of lumber and dirt seemed to be sucked
into the vortex like so many atoms ana
were then vomited forth from the top OF
the cone and thrown immense distances.
As soon rs the approach of the mon stef
cloud was seen, Col. Pickens made an effort
to get his family out of the house into the
garden. which was bare Of trees. lie haa
only reached the back door OF the mouse,
however, when he was carried by the sue
ton of the air in the direction of the storm
centre and first found himself near the
carriage. house. several yards off. The air
Inv this tiue was full of sand and pebbles
and nieces of timber, and it was impossible
to see foot ahead. Col. Picken, was then
whirled around in the direction OF the
kitchen and he held on to the corner OF
this building until it was levelled ana
scattered by tho wind. Subsequently ne
found himself ut the buck door OF his
residence with bad bruise on his heao
and q cut in his forehead, which ne hau
evidently received from a flying piece OF
timber. The ladies', fortunately, hao not
time to get out Of the house and escaped
with fe% bruises. The effect oi the sIorm
on the dwelling was reculi"r. Inc storih
center pussed about three nundred yaros
south of the house and it appeared as it
were to stretch out an arm towards the
house. and leyelled twenty.four oaks In
the ward. one of which fell across two OF
the rooms in the wing of the house, al
most completely destroying them, tore
aYay the four massive columns which
suplSrted the front piazza, blew every
door and window-sash on the north OF
the house completely through the house,
and as with a giants hand stirred up
everything in the rooms into an lne1trlca-
bic mass. Much of the furniture was
smashed, the papering and the pictures
were torn from the wall, the dinner table
which was set ready for the meal was
smashed into atoms with everything on It;
The fire in the fireplace was thrown all
over one of the rooms, but fortunately
water was near at hand and the flames
were extinauished before they had much
headway. The oaks which were uprooted
were giants Of a half century's growth,
and many of them measured nine feet III
circumference. All the outbuildings on
the premises were levelled and scattered
around. The storm lasted only a few mo-
ments, but its force in the centre OF Its
path was irresistible.

Mr.. Daniel X Watson, highly re-
spectcd citizen Of this County, died at his
residence in Varcnnes township last Sat-
urday morning, after an illness of three
days, at the advanced age of eighty-seven
years. Mr.. Watson was remarkably
active, stout, healthy man, and during
his long life scarcely knew what it was to
be sick. He was born, raised and al
ways resided in the immediate neighbor-
hood where he died. he was consistent
member of Mt Creek Baptist Church for
more than fifty years. A kind and oblig-
ing neighbor, upright and honest in all
his dealings with his fellow.man, he nat
urally made friend of every one with
whom he came in contact. In his death
Anderson County has lost a worthy citi-
zen. After appropriate funeral services,

mains were inferred in the Mt. Creek
Graveyard last Sunday morning. He
leaves large connection and host of
friends to mourn his death.
The County Republican Convention
met here last Friday for the purpose OF
electing delegates to the State and Con-
gressional Conventions, which meet in
Columbia on the 18th inst. The meeting
was not largely attended, and no business
worth mentioning was transacted. The
following are tho delegates elected: To
the State Convention-Wm. A. Clarke,
Aaron Saxton, w. III. Gassoway and
Lawrence Walker; to the Congressional
onvention-Lawrence Jones, VIM. FL.
Thompson and D. Hagood. The delegates
were instructed to vote for E. P. Blodgett,
of Walhalla, and VIM. A. Clarke, of this
city, as delegates to the Chicago Conven-
ton. We are informed that Lawrence
Jones, the County Chairman, is dissatis-
fed because he was not elected delegate
to the State Convention, as he desires to
go to the Chicago Convention. 1t is I'M
derstood that the delegation will be un-
der the control of Collector Brayton, who
will, we presume, use them in the inter-
est of Arthur.

On Tuesday night about IL o'clock the
bedding in an upstairs room of Mr.. j. +.
Wilson's residence, in this city, caught
fire. Fortunately member of the fami-
ly Lad not retired for the night, and the
alarm was promptly given. Before
many persons reached the scene, the bed
ding had been thrown out doors and the
flames subdued. The wind was blowing
furiously at the time, and if the fire had
got under headway it would have been
impossible to have saved anything within
| its reach.
A certain young man in the city called
on his favorite girl few nights since
He had not been long in the parlor before

little fellow; II saw you sitting on bis
lap the other night and I'm not near az

Some of our young readers may like
to try the experiment of making hang
ing garden of sponge. Tako white
sponge of large size, and SOW it full o
rice, hemp, canary, and other seeds
then place it in a shallow dish, in which
q little water is constantly kept, and al
the sponge will absorb the moisture, th'
seed will begin to sprout. When this ha'
taken place, the sponge may be suspend
ed by cords and hung where little sun
shine will enter. 1t will thus become {
mass OF green foliage, and should be re
freshed with water daily so as to be KEEP
moist.

The Republican party enacted a
law admitting sugar into the Uui
ted States from the Hawaiian Is
Ian lis free from duty.
This places the laborer in the cane
fields of Louisiana in direct competi
ton with the Chinaman of the Sand
wich Islands.
In this fact may be found n
reason for the reduction of wages
here.
If the sugar from the Sandwich
Islands had to pay a tariff duty it
would not supply half the country
with sugar at the figures it now
does.
