Houses Blown Down, Fences Leveled and
Forests Destroyed.
1t is reported that cyclone did con-
siderable damage in t. western edge of
Sumter county last Friday.
Several houses were blown down and
fences and forests destroyed. Several
people were injured slightly, but none
killed.
Reports from the section traversed by
the cyclone are meagre. AS far as we
are able to ascertain, several houses were
blown down on the plantation of Will
liam Tooke and one or two on the plan
tation of g. A. Taylor
On the Tooke place, five miles from
Americas, nine negroes were huddled in
a house praying when the cyclone struck
it. The house was torn to splinters,
the ROOT bsipg gained fully 200 yards
Several Of the negroes WSfe bruised by
timbers. None were killed.
Seven white men took refuge in a
house near by. The storm blew it from
the foundation and carried it twenty feet
The inmates escaped by jumping from
the doors and grasping trees in the yard.
Tie outbouses and fences on the Tay-
lor plantation were blown down.
The destruction of timber was very
great along the path of the cyclone.
Reports from other portions of the
county are to the effect that much tim
Der, fencing and a few small honses
we e destroyed.

An Old Negroes Touching story.

An old negro giving his name as Gil
ford Ashbrooks, walked into Shell nan
Thursday morning, and the tale that he
told was a sad one. He said that he was
stolen from his family at Montezuma
about January LIST last by an immigrant
agent and was carried to some Of the
territories out west. After reaching
the far west the agent told him he must
go to work and pay for his fare going
out there, but being so old and his back
having been broken, he could not do the
work required, so he started back to his
family on foot about four weeks
ago. He seemed very much ia
tigued and said that he had about given
out. The good people Of Shellman spar
ed no time in making up urse to carry
the old man to his family.

enjoying fried chickens. l heard Miss
Jessie say that she has an invitation to
one the last day of this month.

the Trial.
The ono warranto in the city election
case was not disposed of Monday after

The point was made by Judge Miller,
counsel for Messrs. Melton, Hannah and
Deubler that Judge Guerry was dis
qualified.
Judge Query is now trying to get a
Judge to preside for him, and thinks it
will be the second week in April before
he can secure one.
1t will take week or ten days to dis
pose of the case after the trial is begun,
as it will have to go before jury. A
jury will have to be drawn and sum
moned when the judge arrives and two
or three hundred witnesses will have to
be brought into court to give in their
testimony.
Judge Mcwhorter, of Lexington, will
go to Blakely next week to hold Early
court for Judge Query, and it is prob
able that he will stop over in Dawson

his hearers that the exercising of it's bea

Son, if Sinners Entice Thee Consent
Thou Not.'' This sermon, while it
reached out specially to the young, new

gapk The company is to contest for
ina prizes which are to be offered. The
Wheeler engine, which is TO take the
Mace of the Columbia during the lat
t.rs absence from the city, arrived here
saturday evening and was yesterday
tasted AT the wharf. 1t was demon
strated that steam could be generated
in eight minutes from cold water and
that she could throw powerful streams
ofyater taken directly from the river
II is said there is q movement on foot
topurchase this engine, organize a new
company and place it in the rapidly
growing northwestern section Of the
CITY. The apparatus, it is said, can be
obtained at small cost and with a
slight expenditure can be made a very
etFectual adjunct to our fire depart
ment. Should this be done considera-
bic anxiety will be avoided, as it often
happens that one of our engines is out
of service, and should the other hap
pen TO an accident the city would for a
lime. at least, be without an engine,
which would be a serious matter in
ease of fire. With third engine
much apprehension would be avoided.

REV. THERON H. RICE DECLINES
4 letter was read yesterday at the First

II. Rice, pastor of the Second Presby-
terrain Church, Alexandria, declining a
call to the pastorate of the First Pres

botter to remain with his present
charge. The decision of Mr.. Rice was
received with regret by the congrega-
ton Of First Church.-BoitimOrc Sun.
Mr.. Rice occupied the pulpit of the
Second Presbyterian Church in this
city yesterday. The church was filled
at both the morning and evening SER

practical and edifying. After the ser,
vices in the morning the elders and
deacOns of the church repaired in
body to the manse and extended the
sincere appreciation of the congrega-
ton at the action Of Mr.. Rice in con-
Guiding to continue as their pastor.
The reverend gentleman received the
church officers with the cordially so
natural to him and expressed with no
little emotion his appreciation OF the
relations which exist between pastor
and people.
