Silver>s Coming Triumph.

UnGer the above caption the Chica-
90 Record says the silver men Of that
section regard the silver victory in
Oregon as a sure indication that the
next President of the United States
will be elected on free silver, l6 to /,
platform. For several weeks they
have been talking of free silver cy-
clone which was to sweep the country.
These men take it for granted that
the National Democratic convention
will not only adopt an out,and-out
free silver plank. but will nominate
men for President and Vice President
who will be acceptable to the free sill
yer men. II the Democrats do this
the silver convention, which meets in
St. Louis, July 90, will be turned into
a national free silver ratification meet
ing. This, The Record says, is the
talk at the headquarters of the free
silyerites in Chicago, and they all
agree that the following table of elec-
toral votes is very conservative esti-
mate.

DESTROYED by a Cyclone.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 9.-The
pretty little town of Weyeth City in
Marshall county on the Tennessee
river and some 80 miles west of Gads-
den. with population of some 800
souls, was completely wrecked at11
o'clock this morning by cyclone
Early in the morning a dark and
threatening cloud came up in the
southeast with considerable wind, and
ali of a sudden the wind made swoop
and struck the town, almost complete
ly demolishingit it. Eighteen dwelling
house swere destroy ed, five being swept
completely away and not a stick of
the timber left. The cyclone lasted
fully FIVE minutes and then passed in
northeasterly direction. Trees as
large as a mans waist were taken
down like weeds. After the storm
passed the work of rescuing was com
menced. At this writing it is known
that Is are wounded ana six of them
fatally. Mrs. Ricketts, and man
named Bundy were badl y hurt and
will die. Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Brown and
several children will probably die. A
1O.year old boy was found half mile
away in a dying condition. Others
are badly wounded. The path of the
cyclone was about 100 yards wide and
a total devastation marks its path.
Had the storm struck au hour later
fully 50 people would have been killed
or wounded at that time the ope erators
of the basket factory would have been
at dinner. Fortunately y both factories
escaped. The scene OF the storm is
desolate one now. The work Of res
cue goes bravely on and every few
hours, fresh victim is found. The
cloud had the regular funnel shape
and when it struck the town there
was loud report as of cannon and
soon the air was full of flying timber,
trees houses, animals, etc. Several
persons are missing and it is possible
that taey will be found dead. a meet
ing of citizens held at Guntersville
raised several hundred dollars for
sufferers. Fully 100 people are acting
as a relief cOrpS.

Necessary to elect ~.
In the above table illinois, Indiana
and Iowa are put in the list of doubt
full States, and it is almost certain that
Illinois and Indiana will 60 for free
silver, with strong probability OF
of Iowa doing the same. According
to the table the silver men lack only
fifteen voters which we are almost Ger
tain to get from some Of the States
classed as doubtful. On this point
the Columbia State comments as fol-
lows: The estimate of Chicago sill
yer men as to the electoral vote ap-
pears conservative enough. The only
States set down for silver which we
have any doubt about are Kentucky
and West Virginia. The problem in
each of these States is how many gold
Democrats will vote the Republican
ticket and how many silver Republi-
cans will vote the Democratic ticket.
The Democrats had 40, 900 plurality in
Kentucky in 1892, and there were 23,-
600 Populist votes; in 1895 the Re-
publicans had 5000 plurality, and the
Populists $1,000 votes. Kentucky is,
however, decidedly safer than West
Virginia, where the Republicans had
1900 majority in the last congres.
sional elections. These 19 votes would
be more than Offset, however, by the
"a of Illinois, which we regard as
more certain for the Democracy than
either Kentucky or West Virginia;
and Indiana, which is sure thing,

and revolutions; but they have always
been stanch tories in their hatred Of

reign Of George H.; Milan had hers in
the reign of Maria Theresa. 1t arose
from an audacious attempt by some
restless innovator to cover every
fashionable head in Milan with q wig

save some three hours daily toll and
endurance in the dressing Of the hair.
Up rose the hairdressers like one man.

and straightway decreed that anyone

s Most Horrible C.lr,e.

,TIFroN, June IA sad story OF
mans perfditv and crime and young
girls ruin comes from Sumner, a
small town in Worth county between
Tifton and Albany. On last Satur,
day night there was meeting of the
Rosebud society, a literary club, at a
residence three miles out from Sum
ner At his invitation Miss Inez Ses.
sions rode out to this meeting in a
buggy with Tom Edwards. The Sc
quel to the trip is that yeterday after
noon the sheriff of Worth couty took
Edwards to Macon and put him be-
hind the bars there charged with
criminal assault. Miss Sessions state.
ment is that on the way out her es,
cort asked her to drink some wine
which he had along; that she refused :;
that on the way back home she was
again invited to take wine and finally
took only a swallow, and that in lit
tie while she became unconscious and
remained so until o'clock the fol-
lowing day.
The couple came in from the woods
into Sumner at daylight and when
they drove up to Edwards home Ed
wards father, who is the postmaster
at Sumner. met them at the gate.
Young Edwards was drunk and the
young lady was unconcious. The
father helped his son out of the buggy
and carried the girl home Miss Ses-
sions is one of the most beautiful girls
in this section and is only IL years
old Her father is dead and she has
no male relatives. Her mother keeps
a small merchandise business in the
little country town and as a result Of
her daughters downfall is almost de-
stracted with grief. DR.. Bacon, the
physician who was called to see the
girl, says that she is in a serious con-
dition. Young Edwards is physically
a wreck, having had an operation per-
formed for agendicitis seven months
ago. His version is that the young
girl was entirely willing to his advanc-
es, that they were both intoxicated and
that he did not use force with Miss
Sessions. His offer to marry the
young girl was turned down by her
mother and warrant as stated is
sued and Edwards arrested. Judge
Spence Will be asked to call special
session Of court to try the case and the
feeling of sympathy for the unfortu
nate girl is outspoken in her section,
as well as feeling of indignation
against the young man. A message
from Ty-Ty is to the effect that indig.
nation is so high in the community of
Sumner that lynching is freely talked
of and every effort will be made to
have justice wrought Immediately.
The sheriff of Worth carried the young
man to Bibb because Of the intense
feeling and the strong probabilities of
an attempt at mob violence.

A Record-Breakins MAY.

State Weather Observer Bauer We'd
nesday issued his monthly statement
of the weather conditions for May,
and it shows that the month just clos
ed has broken the record. Here is
what Mr.. Bauer says in his report:
''The month of May, 1886, was the
warmest ever recorded in this State,
the daily mean temperature having
exceeded the normal by II degrees
per day, and on the Sth only did the
temperature go below the normal.
The number of days on which the
temperature rose to 81 or above aveag-
ed Is for the whole State, equalling
similar record for June and July in
1895, and two more than during Au-
gust, 1895. As corollary of the heat,
there was an entire absence of frost.
The rainfall averaged IS per cent.
of the usual amount and fell mostly
in light scattered showers, which were
usually followed by bright sunshine
and drying winds that quickly evapo-
rated the moisture from the ground,
in consequence OF which drouthy con-
ditions existed quite extensively
throughout the state, with exceptions
where the showers were more copious.
The weather conditions outlined
above were not generally favorable
for crop development except for cot
ton and corn, which made remarkable
growth and were in exceptionally
promising condition at the end of the
month, while spring oats, wheat, po.
tatoes and gardens were very poor.
The weather was also unfavorable on
fruit.
HAL was quite frequent, and two
tornadoes were reported, Of limited
extent, but attended by fatalities and
considerable injury to crops.

4 Prophecy of Evil.

Mr.. A. B. Williams, late editor of the
Greenville News, has signalized his
debut in metropolitan journalism
with an article contributed to the New
York Tribune, one of the bitterest Re.
publican papers in the country, IN
which he attacks the political methods
of the South in general and those of
South Carolina in particular. He
pronounces the Solid South" a thing
of the past never to be restored, unless
it be in the form of Republican solid
arity. The class relation between the
whites have become so strained, be
thinks, that it will wipe out the caste
or race line that has formerly prevail
ed, over all other considerations, to
keep the white men together and thus
ensure white supremacy. The arls-
tocracy in mis- opinion will eventually
combine with the negro to escape the
dominatiun Of the popular white ele-
ment. The free silver trend OF the
white masses will afford the minority !
whites the necessary excuse to VOC
with the Republican party on ahe
sound money issue and thus conjoined
with the numerically strong negro
population enable them to convert the
Southern States to the Republican
column. IL commenting on Mr..
Williams article the Charleston Sun
voices the sentiment of cine-tenths OF
the white people of the State when 1t
says the negro Of the South will not be
factor in the settlement of this ques-
ton. 1t is not in the nature OF things
that he should rise as race to high
er plane On such question than the
white masses OF the State, as Mr..
Williams seems to anticipate. The
financial problem is one that is clearly
beyond the attainments and capacity
of the race in so far as they have yet
been developed. 1t must be confessed
that it is too abstruse and intricate for
the undoubted mastery of the children
OF our older and superior civilization.
We think better Of all political ele-
ments Of our citizenship than Mr..
Williams seems to do. We have not
the slightest anticipation that any ap-
preciable portion of our Conservative
citizenship will be moved to throw in
their fortunes with the Republicans
and the colored people. They will
rather turn and merge again with the
masses of their own race and caste,
helping as individuals and brothers to
work out the common and inseparable
destiny and placing implicit faith and
reliance in the eventual welfafe Of the
State under such auspices

4 DESPOTS WILL.
Naooleon's Stubbornness Caused the Death
of Two Hundred Frenchmen.

Napoleon's Stubbornness Caused the Death
OF Two Hundred Frenchmen.
1t is only a~few years since many
English sailors were drowned because
an admiral gave a wrong order, and
another officer, who knew the order 20
be wrong, obeyed it. Admiral Bruix,
of the French navy, was once in the
English officers position, and took a
contrary course, although his orders
came from no less parsonage than
Napoleon l. Both cases, it should be
noted, occurred not in battle, but on
parade. At such a time, surely, sub
ordinate must be justified in saving the
lives of his men, even at the cost Of
technical disobedience.
While Napoleon was at Boulogne. in
1904, he went out to ride one morning,
leaving word that on his return he
would review the fleet During his
absence, therefore, a message was sent
to Admiral Bruix, that he might order
the ship to weigh anchor and pu: out
to sea. To the astonishment Of the
messenger, the admiral replied that he
was very sorry, but the state of the
weather would not permit the review
to take place.
In due time the emperor returned,
and inquired if everything was ready.
The admirals response was coUmuni-
Gated to him. At first he seemed not
to understand, but on it's being re-
peated he stamped his foot and ordered
La %, S,,+N osc
ence.
The admiral came at once, but even
so he was not quick enough for the em-
peror, who met him half way. The
emperor's staff followed, and stood
ranged in silence about him.
''Sir Admiral" said Napoleon, in an
angry voice, why have you not
obeyed my orders?"
Sire answered the admiral, with
respectful frmness, "a fearful tempest
is preparing. Your majesty can see it
as well as I. You cannot wish to ex-
pose uselessly the lives Of SO many
brave men"
Constant, the first net ,le chambre
of the emperor, and one of his frmest
apologists, is constrained to admit, in
relating the story, that the aspect of
the sky at that very moment fully
justified the fears of the admiral: but
Napoleon was too much irritated to
listen to reason.
Sir" he said, 81 have given orders.
Once more, why have you not executed
them? Obey!'
"Sire, shall not obey"
At that word the emperor advanced,
riding whip in hand, as if to strike.
The admiral recoiled step1apd laid
his hand upon his sword.
Sire" he said, turning pale, ''take
care!"
The two men faced each other; then
the emperor dropped his whip, and the
admiral withdrew his grasp from the
handle of his sword.
Rear Admiral Magon," said Ma
poleon, you will execute instantly
the order I have issued. AS for you,
SIR" turning to Admiral Bruix, you
will leave Boulogne within twenty
four hours and retire into Holland
