Applications for Pensions.

COLUMBIA, February 1.-THE comp.
troller general to day sent to the clerks
of Courts in this State a printed form
which was prepared by the board, and j
to be filled out by all applicants for pc :.
sions. This action became necessary, a.
there we're such. large number of app V.
cations being filed, and there were grs >
doubts as to whether the law was bel z
properly complied with, and whetf r
many Of the applicants were entitled 20
pensions. This document, which was
sent out to-day, requires very minute
answers to everything which relates to
the condition of the applicant.
The first question is care you mar.
ried?" Then, "Doy you own real estate ?"
"Describe your real property?" The
number of acres or lots and their value,
and the number of houses and their value
are then put down with their location.
The next question is: "Does your real
estate yield you any income and what
amount?" dIn what does it consist?"
The amount of money, cotton, corn and
all other products must then be put down.
"Do you own any personal property 2" is
the next question, and there is room for
the number and value of almost every
animal and article of personal property,
from goat to steamship. "What in.
come does your personal property yield
you?" "Do you receive a salary 2"
"What amount ?" "Do you receive any
wages 2" "What amount?" "Do you
receive an income or fees from any pro-
fession, Office or occupation of any kind,
which, added to the gross income of your
farm or rents which you may receive,
will yield altogether the gross amount of
$3.50 per annum ?"
These answers are sworn to by the ap.
plicant, and ifhe has wife she has to
20 through the same form and swear to
It, and then two outsiders who know the
applicant must swear that they believe
the return of property and the schedule
of income made by the applicant to be
true.
In addition to this the following circu
lar was to day sent out:

= Florida is in the enjoyment of a
genuine boom. The number of arrivals
this season promises to be largely in ex.
cess of any previous year, and the hotels
and transportation lines are reaping g rich
harvest. In addition to the health and
pleasure. seekers from nearly every part
of the State comes the announcement
that investors and emigrants are coming
in. Hillsborough County seems to be
ahead, having colony of f150 persons en-
route to Sutherland from the blizzard
swept plains of Nebraska. The railroads
are afording better facilities than ever
before, and the announcement is made
that the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad has determined to build
new line from Jesup, Ga, to Jacksonville,
Fla, a distance of about one hundred
miles. This will give an independent
line for the through business of Florida.
It is estimated that 10000 visitors will 60
into Florida this season. Few of them
stay shorter period than two weeks
many of them more than month. At
eight dollars a day, not too much for
travelling and other expenses, there will
be about one hundred dollars to the visi-
tor, or about Sc, 100000 left in the State
by tourists.

injured, eight or ten 80 seriously that
their recovery is despaired of.
Preceding the destructive wind was a
heavy fall Of rain for half an hour, which
drove all the inhabitants to shelter. This
was followed by a slight hail storm
accompanied with lightning, and then
the furious blow, which formed into a
funnel shaped cyclone, struck the south.
west portion of the city, unroofng every.
thing in it's path, taking a diagonal
course through the business portion of
the city, unrooing and dismantling the
Supreme Court building, near the Louis.
willie and Nashville depot, and skipping
along to the Methodist and Baptist
churches, caying them into worthless
masses.
At one point the destructive element
jumped upward and missed several stores
and residences, but soon pounced down
again and began career of unparalleled
destruction, tearing down heavy brick
buildings, wrecking and twisting frame
structures out of semblance, and making
useless mass of debris. The Courthouse
that occupies the public square in the
centre of the city was literally torn to
pieces, the walls being twisted and
crushed. The tower was lifted and drop
ped to the westward, and demolished the
handsome pillars that supported the
entrance.
This was the extreme point to the
north that the storm reached, although
the business block in which the Mount
Vernon National Bank and other busi-
ness houses are, was somewhat disman.
tied by flying brick and timbers. Fifty
yards south Of the Courthouse the storm
seemed to be at its height. On the cor.
ner of Washington street and the public
square was the Crews block, three story
brick building eighty feet front, occupied
by Rand's Bank, and q grocery and
saloon. This building was thoroughly
demolished and then taking fire, all
inaammable material was consumed.
Across the square on Washington street
was row of two story frame buildings
with an occasional one of brick. The
brick buildings were caved in and the
frame buildings were crushed out OF
shape against each other. Near the cor
ner to the south we're lot of groggeries
and frame structures which served as
warehouses and dwellings. The storm
played havoc here and then turned the
place over to the blaze, which consumed
the last. plank.
The storm was over in three minutes
and the people rushed out of their safe
retreats and unharmed homes to give as
sistance to the needy. The fire company,
aided by the citizens, began the work Of
rescue, which was carried on systemati-
cally. The mayor filled isplace admi-
rably, and in short order had called for
assistance from neighboring towns. Fire
engines and physicians were wanted, and
Centralia, Ashley, Nashville and Evans
vile responded generously and quickly.
Citizens threw open their houses to the
homeless and their bedrooms became
hospitals, while worthy matrons turned
expert nurses. What was left of the
Supreme Court building was turned into
morgue. A strange thing was that
three minutes after the cyclone the sun
was shining brightly ON the scene
desolation.

The last issue of the Aiken Recorder
contains the announcement that Mrs. @.
E. R. Drayton will assume its manage.
ment for the future. In her card Mrs.
Drayton says:
With Gods blessing and kind counsel,
we hope to make the Recorder still good
and interesting paper. We are more
than grateful for words and acts of kind
ness, which friends, from far and near,
have spoken and done. To our subscri.
bers we would earnestly beg that they
continue their subscriptions, and we will
endeavor to make it as easy as possible
for them to pay their dues. Remember,
dear friends, that woman is now trying,
with Gods help and guidance, to fill the
place of father and mother TO her young
family"
AS the sympathy of many friends went
out towards Mrs. Drayton in her great
bereavement, SO then hearty appreciation
and earnest hopes for success will attend
her in this undertaking.
