Tho Charleston Sufferers I


CHARLESTON, 8. c., Sept. 9.-This
n orniuf at 10 o'clock rain began to fall
and fell in torrents until this afternoon.
Heavy black lowering clouds now fore
tell terrible things for the morrow. The
better class OF tents that have wooden
floors projected their inmates, bnt the
iunproviBed huts aud tents afforded but
little shelter. 7 he poor INN ates, ,drenched
| to the skin, are now shivering, awaiting
the arrival of fevers that must come
sooner or later The sanitary condition
OF many tents is simply terrible. The
clergy and other prominent citizens are
trying to persuade the people TO leave
their tents and c)ngregate in the few
safe houses OF the city or else go to the
country. All recognize the fact that
unless the people are amply protected
from the rain the cemeteries will receive
many recruits
To-day has been such that but little
work could BE- done, but efforts are
being made TO mahe Q repairs as rapidly
as possible. The work thus far done Is
jscarcely perceptible, and with large
numbers Of bands it will be months
before much ct the ruins can be re-
moved. Men In all kinds of work are
SO wearied that they can do but half
their usual work Three brave firemen
succumbed to-day and now are down.
Policemen drag along their beats with
just enough strength TO pull one foot
after the other. Telegraph operators and
newspaper men are sticking to their
posts, though scarcely able to drag
themselves to their offices.
i The churches Of all denominations
are issuing appeals for help towards re-
building their ruined temples. Charl-
table persons can be of assistance by
g sending money to either of the follow
s ing persons for their different denomi-

Mayor Courtenay today issued Sec

says that he can testify to the large

said OF the community as whole that
their moral courage and heroism were

Courtenay shows in brief what was &C.

A Promise Ful6lled

little more than year age we published
in these columns a notice of the discovery of
Sheridan's Condition Powder to make hens
lay. In making that announcement we re-
lied wholly upon the character and reputa.
ton of the manufacturers. To our own
mind, at that time, the idea of making hens
lay the year round by artificial or other
means, seemed absurd, but we have since
learned that it can be done The notice
alluded to above attracted universal attention,
and thousands of people, while not believing
that Sheridan's Powder could accomplish all
that was claimed for it, though. it WAS at least
worth trial. The trial was made during
December, January and February. No other
months could have been selected which
would have given this Powder so severe a
test, for everybody who keeps hens knows
that they will not lay during these
months except in rare cases. But the
result of this trial was most satisfactory and
conclusive. Hundreds of those who made
the trial received from Is to "a eggs per hen
per month, while many got one egg day
from each hen. The price of eggs during
December. January and February last, aver
aged 80 to So cents per dozen. Thus it will
be seen that very few hens each laying an
egg day would support small family. |.

average of 1899 votes to carry district.
A voter in these States has. thus, double
the electoral and representative power OF
a voter in the Northern States, as the d.
rect result OF this suppression OF the vote.
But for these frauds there would now
be republican President and Cabinet in
Washington and republican House as
we'll as Senate. If the republicans shall
be defeated in the Presidential election OF
1888 it will be by the suppression of the
republican vote of the South. 1t is time
people began to think seriously about this
state of things, and ask themselves what
they are going to do about it. Of course
this great evil and injustice must be
stopped by peaceable means or it will lead
to deplorable results.

Southern Election Frauds.

The more the light is turned upon the
elections in the Southern States the MOI g
clearly is seen the evidence of the fraud
bv which they are carried out in favor of
the democratic party. 1t must be plain to
people OF common sense that only fraud
can produce the results which are seen.
The suppression of the negro vote by ter
ror and false counting is the means by
whica democratic supremacy is secured.
MIR. Mcpherson. secretary OF the republic
can congressional Committee. in recent
letter presents some facts which are un-
deniable and which 60 to prove how gen.
eral in the South is the suppression of the
negro vote and how effective are the
frauds practiced by the democracy, A
classification Of the vote by congressional
districts in 1876 and in 1884 will show the
net result in shape which will be at once
most compact and most comprehensive.
Including Delaware. Maryland and West
Virginia with the Northern States. we have
this result as to the late slave States: In
1876 their average district vote on Con-
gress was a, 5o4. In 1884 their average
district vote on Congress was 22,990.
This shows decreased vote in the eight
years of over 6 per cent. In the other
States of the Union there was dnring this
period an increased vote of about IL per
cent. Thus, IL per cent represents the
average suppression.
In the Cult States the wrong is more
marked, as it is more general and severe
Take, for instance. Alabama. Mississippi
and South Carolina. The average in Ala
bama fell from 1868 in 1876 to l6,169 il
1884. The average in Mississippi fell
from 81 800 in 1876 to 1920 in 1884
The average in South Carolina fell iron
37.149 in 1876 to 1879 in 1884. The av
erage fall in these three States is from 2S,'
12l in 1876, to 1896 in 1884. or within
a fraction OF so per cent. The average
district vote in the Northern States rose
from so. 165 in 1876 to 1914 in 1884, OF

The United States Court has just rem
dered decision which is of great impor-

case came before the court from Illinois,
and is known as the case of the Wabash
railroad. 1t declares in effect that the anti
discrimination law of Illinois is
unconstitutional on the ground that
it is an interference with con-
merce between the States. Briefly
stated. the majority of the court say 1--WE
must therefore hold that it is not and
