THE TORNADO.

On Wednesday afternoon Of last week, this
section was visited by tornado, which IN eN-
tent of territory traversed was equal to that or
about the same time last year, and in very near
ly the same track, though perhaps the damage
to property was not altogether as great.
The first we hear Of it was on the plantation OF
J. c. Chambers, Esq, on Bullock's Creek, eight
miles west of Yorkville. The storm moved from
west to east. and passing over Mr.. Chambers
place, where it was damaging only to trees and
fencing, il next spent its fury on the plantation
Of Mr.. r. NJ. Whitesides, at "Meek's Hill, L"
where it blew down fencing and twisted Oft large
trees. Mr.. J. II. SummcrfOrd's place was the
next in the track Of the stornl and here besides
the destruction of trees and fences several small
buildings on his plantation were unroofed. Mr.
j. A. Smith, who lives on Silver Creek, north OF
the Howel's Ferry road, and five miles west OF
Yorkville, was the next to receive visitation,
from whose place the wind rushed over the
lands of Messrs William Dickson, Joseph Neal,
a. +. Carroll, Hugh b. Wallace and William
Carson, doing much damage in its course
Trees were twisted and crushed as if but straws,
fences demolished and crops badly injured. Mr.
Walace's kitchen and Mr.. Carsons dwelling
were unroofed. Mr.. J. Harvey Dickson was the
next and most serious sufferer. He lives three
miles north of Yorkville, and his plantation was
next to Mr.. Carson's on the track. On MIR.
Dickson's plantation eight buildings were blown
down, part of the chimney of his dwelling blown
off, and besides the damage to his fencing and

Several ranches about eight miles from
here were plundered and destroyed A
family of five Mexicans were killed We'd
nesday night, four miles from here. Three
children were Drained. Another Mexican
was shot, but managed to escape with his
wife. Yesterday morning Georges ranch,
two miles from Fort Bayard was attack
ed, and an American was wounded. The
Indians are heading for the Black Noun
tains, s. party of citizens have left here
to warn and protect the settlers on the
Rio Membres. Capt. Lee with IS men
took up the trail at noon yesterday. A spe-
cial from Stems pass says the Indians
haye been sighted in canyon a short dis
tance from here, and it is believed that
they will attempt to 60 through the pass
Should they do so two companies of cavalry
in the immediate vicinity will intercept
them.
1t is also learned that thirty-ive Chirica-
huas, who rode to an adobe building five
miles north of Silver City, Wednesday
evening and killed the occupants, Mexl-
can, his wife and three children, afterWard
came on within two miles of Silver City to
another hut, and after shooting the Mexi-
can inmate took his two-year old child by
the feet and striking its head against the
wall of the house, hung the little one on the
meat hook on the wall. The Mexican was
badly wounded, but is still alive.

EXECUTION AT BARNWELL.

John Terry, colored, expiated on the gal
lows last Friday the crime of the murder
John G.. Sessions. He did not sleep much
Thursday night until just before day. He
said his cell was warm. He ate breakfast as
usual. The Rev. Messrs. Davis, NJ. r. c.,
and Alonzo Harrison, Baptist, both colored,
sang and prayed with him, Terry joining
in the singing, and asFone time he led in
the prayers himself. When asked if he
had gathered in the street next his window,
he replied: every little," and walking to
the window, said:
II warn you all to keep out of bad COM
pany. There is bad among white and COL
ored. I fell in the white, I feel that am
prepared to meet my God. My sentence is
Just, and the sooner 60 out of my trouble
the better it will be for me-"
He did not appear to be excited. He was
then taken to the gallows where the death
sentence was read by the sheriff, and Parson
Harrison read the Twenty-third Psalm.
He stood and listened and cheWed his to-
bacco apparently with relish. At a mo-
tion from Sheriff w. B. Peoples he threw
his tobacco out and mounted the scaffold
firmly without a change of countenance.
At 1910 P. M. the drop fell, breaking his
neck. Twenty minutes afterwards Drs.
Todd and Kirkland pronounced life extinct.
A day or two previous to the execution
Terry made full confession, but it throws
paratively little light upon the mystery
of one of the most brutal murders known
to the annals of crime. Mr.. Sessions left
his home in Fairfield, in May, 1884, to 60 to
the residence Of Samuel A. Wood in Barn
we'll. He disappeared, and his whereabouts
was a mystery until Terry was arrested
charged with shooting into the house of the
depot agent at Robbins station. He sup
posed he was arrested for the Sessions mat
ter and told enough of it to lead to the
discovery of Sessions body horribly mutil-
ated and buried in a shallow hole in pine
thicket. 1t now seems that white man
named Carson, a brother-in-law of Sessions,
sent Terry from Woods house to Fairfield
with a note to Sessions requesting his pres
ence on important business. Sessions and
Terry made the journey together. When
they got off the train to walk to WOODS
house from the depot, a distance of some
miles, Terry picked up a car pin and killed
Sessions on the road by strikiag him on the
head. He had been instructed to do this by
Carson and reported to him what had been
done. Next day Carson, Woods, Terry
and an old negro went out and buried the
body. Terry received nothing but unlim-
tied whisky and $3.50. Carson has fled the
State. Wood is serving a term of nine
months in the penitentiary as an accessory
after the fact. The old negro who aided in
the burial was made State witness. But
the motive for the crime is still mystery.

JEFFERSON DAVIS TALKS.

DIR. A. G. P. Garnett, physician Of Wash
ington City, while on recent trip South, Wis
tied Jefferson Davis, with whom he has hada a
long and intimate acquaintance. AS result
of his visit, the Washington papers publish
an interview with DR.. Garnett in which the
views of the ex-President are given upon
the political situation and other matters. Dr.
Garnett says: "In the course Of our CONVEX
sation during the day Mr.. Davis alluded to
the political condition of the country by say
ing that he knew nothing of the present eX-
ecItive and that he had not yet progressed far
enough with the administration for him to
form an opinion of it. He seemed satisfied
with the members of the cabinet selected
from the South, but not disposed, l thought,
to entertain very hopeful view OF our
future, as he said that the deep love and
veneration for the constitution which ami
mated the citizens of the United States be-
fore the war had now departed from our
people, and that the system of government
erected by our forefathers existed only IN
name; that there were elements OF dislnte,
grafton and disruption at work in our midst
which could only be restrained and held in
check by force; that the underlying and
fundamental principles upon which our
system Of government was erected and upon
which the constitution as it was before the
ar rested, are fast becoming obsolete, for,
gotten by the old men and never learned by
the young; that under the rule of Republi,
caniSm during the war and subsequent to t.
the constitution was made rope of sand
and that whilst this party of so called llber'
al ideas was proclaiming universal freedom
and equality on one hand they were tearing
down and blotting out the very safeguard
and defense which alone under our form o.
government could secure it to them"
Speaking of Commodore Bullock's book
which discloses the secret history Of the
Confederate agents in England during the
war for procuring ships, the doctor contin
ued, after a pause 'Mr. Davis exhibited
much feeling at what he characterized the
duplicity and meanness of the English gov
ernment in it's conduct towards the South
Whilst that government would permit the
United States to purchase and take away
as many ships as it desired, there was al
ways some pretext found to prevent the
sailing of those vessels purchased by any
agent or citizen of the Confederacy, al
though such vessels were entirely eXemp
from any legal impediments."
I asked him if it was true that he haC
authorized any petitition to be presented tt
the Federal authorities to have his disa
bilities removed. He replied very emphat
cally in the negative, and added that ne
had written an open letter to the author o.
that petition, calling his attention to tha
fact. He said that he had at all times beer
perfectly willing to undergo trial if the
government thought proper to bring on sucf
an issue, provided he was to be tried strict
ly under the provisions of the constitution

CAPT. LYNEs' ADDRESS.

The Atlanta Constitution contains lengthy no.
tice of the address delivered on Friday night
last in the chapel of Shorter College, Rome, Ga,
by Prof J. C. Lynes, formerly member of the
faculty of the college and a popular citizen OF
Rome, but who is now associate principal OF
Kings Mountain Military School, Yorkville, S.
C. Prof. Lynes' subject was, "Woman to the
Front" and he handled it in mastery man
ner, arguing in favor Of extending womans
sphere of industry and usefulness. Capt. Lynes'
address, which elected frequent applause, closed
as follows:
s'The most attractive side Of Southern affairs
to day is the affecting spectacle of these loyal,
noble Southern girls and women crowding ey-
ery avenue of the higher education, often daugh-
ters and wives of illustrious families wrecked
in the great civil war, beginning life anew as
teachers in the common schools. Let them
have their way there is no danger that they Will
be educated above their sphere. Woman's whole
sphere is not before the sewing machine or pl-
ano: nor is it in the rear of the baggage train,
binding up wounds and saying prayers. All
this she can and will do out of the depths OF her
noble, pure, holy and unseltish love. The other
and the grander half Of her sphere is to come to
the front in aiding man to overcome the oppos--
ing forces of nature, in making them subservlent
to human demands and in ameliorating the men
tai and physical sutferings of the whole human
fanilY,'

offensive partisans in the post offices in the
State of New York will have been removed

the Democracy. 1t is said that the wis.
dom of the joint action of the Secretary of
the Navy, Secretary of the Treasury, and
Postmaster-G General, in shaping policy
that will inspire success is more and more
apparent every day. Cancellation among
the Democratic factions of New York city,
