The Tornado Panic.

The most dreadful tornado month In
the history of civilization. in America has
lust ended, leaving behind 1t q twisted
aud distorted track Of death and desOia
ton.
A dozen States have felt the grip Of the
Storm Fiend and have been made &C.
quainte6 with his awful power. AS was
proven by the almost instantaneous dis
persion of the Decoration gatherings in
several parts of Iowa, Illinois and Kan
ga 8 week ago, all that is now necessary
to disbeud the largest crowds Ia for the
Storm King or one Of his mlnions to rear
his head above the horizon. Il this de-
monstration on the part Of the elements
be accompanied by but a single bril-
liant lightning flash and an ominous
roar of the Thunder God the panic IL
complets.
The facts In the case are that people
are learning to shrink from the gyrating
terror an they would from q pestilenae.
And it is we'll enough that they have
been such apt scholars during the past
short and terrible month Of tutoring.
Since the North Texas disaster, upwards
of a thousand mounds have been erected
in the Mississippi Valley over mangled
human forms as monuments to the storm
Kings fury. In the light of this woeful
truth, liz it to be wondered that the peo-
pie of the afflicted regions are ready to
hurry tn their cyclone caves at the first
sign of danger? Men shrink from such
things, not because they are towards and
fear death, but because such q death as
the cyclone brings Is the King of Terror.

Men who have faced death scores OF times
ON the battlefield tremble and turn pale
when brought facs to face with the mys.
,erious workings Of nature as exhibited
in q storm cloud. ''Iu the face Of ma.

tic" The people know only too we'll of
the Storm Kings doings in the distant
and in the recent past to attempt to brave
the dangers of such blasts without al
much as making an effort to find q place
of safety. That they do make such efforts
to save their lives does not show coward

- On Saturday last, 9Th instant, st Sem

Mr.. Geo. r. Cherry, who was noted for
bis kindness to his slaves, and 80 faithful

Cherry made provision for him during
his old age. Andy was a member for
many years of the white Baptist church
at Pendleton, and 80 high was his stand

suaded him to go amongst bis own peo-
Pile in order to exert agond Influence with

him from the Cherry place to his home IN
Seneca and took care of him until bis

had it buried with proper ceremony.
Thus ends the we'll spent life of one who

The cloud had the regular funnel shape,
and when it struck the town there was a

air was full Of flying timbers, trees,
houses, animals, etc. Several persons
are missing. and 1t Is probable that they

A Good Law For Good Roads,

COLUMBIA, June l1.-There are now
about 200 less convicts in the State PEN
itentisry than there were at the same
time last year. The census on the lat of
June showed an attendance of GIG, which
liz 200 less than for June, 1895. Superin.
teudent Neal, in talking about the mat
tor to-day, said that the decrease in the
population at the State prison was due to
the county chain gang system TIE
chances are that there will be q still fur.
Their reduction in the prison population,
as the system eItends, and ee the old
timers at the Penitentiary die off or are
pardoned or terms expire. superintend
ent Neal said to-day that the only coun-
chain gapga were Beaufort, Horny, Ches.
terfeld, Williamsburg and Charleston.
The PenitentIary is now shipping stripes
and other paraphernal;a for the equip
ment Of the chain gang that Is to be intro
duced In Lexington County. The re-.
turns are that there are about thirty coun-
ties with chain gangs, and they will aver
age twenty men to the county, which will
give q force Of 600 men at work on the
roads of tho count,es. a number of
counties have invested in road building
machinery which they would not have
bought in q decade had it not been for
the necessity of supplying the waiting
chain gang with machinery that would
make their work most effective. In some
of the counties the county commissioners
have gone to work systematically on the
roads, and are having the main roads ma.
cadamized.
1t will be seen that the population of
the Penitentiary Is liable to a gradual
falling off, not on account of crime becom-
Ing less frequent, but because the chaip
gangs get the benefit OF the services OF
all convicts whose terms are for two years
or less.
Tue experiences Of the counties vary as
to the cost of the chain gang system, but
the general experience has been that the
chain gang system can be used to advan-
tage and much cheaper than the old sys.

-Twenty-two years ago, says the New
York Recorder, Edison's friends urged
him 70 marry, hoping that domestic life
would compel him to eat at least one
meal q day and sleep with some regard to
regularity. Edison said he had no time
To court, but If Rome decent girl wanted
to marry him be had no objections. One
day, while watching a young woman who
was working one OF bis instruments and
to whom he never before had spoken, be
asked her, somewhat ~an1iously, II she
would be his wife. She said yes. and in
three days they were married, though he
came near forgetting the hour of the cere-
mony, being busy n complex machine.
Waiter P. Phillips has been quoted as
telling this story of Edison: One night q
friend of the inventor found him in his
Newark laboratory and went In, saying:
"Aren'tyou going home, TOM? It's late."
How late7' said Edison yawning.
"About l O'clock" returned his friend.
Ills that so2" exclaimed Edison. "By
George, I must 20 home; I was married
this morning."
Though May is commonly q month
of mild conditions the present year has
proved 8 notable exception. Never before
In the history Of American disasters has q
single month been productive of such
widespread deatitution. The tornado at
St. Louis last Wednesday was only the
elimination Of a long series of cyclonic
disturbances. For two weeks prior to
that scourage cyclones had been reported
from various States in the Union, rang
ing from Texas to Michigan. Beginning
at Sherman, Tex, on the 10th day OF
May. 120 persons were killed by acyclone:

by storms in Kentucky and Kansas, and
the next day forty-four met death in Ne
braska. Nav 21st ten were killed in
Oklahoma; May 22i, five in Missouri,
and May Oath the wind caused death to
forty in Iowa. The next dav eighty lives
were lost by cyclones In Michigan and
Oklahoma, and On May Goth eleven were
killed by q storm at Cairo.
