KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 13.-Death
to seventeen persons and devastation to
a hundred farms is the story in brief of
terrible cloudburst that fell in Hawkins
county, along Beach creek, last night.
The torrent of water came with such
gigantic force as to sweep away every

Beach creek with terrible destroying
power.
The houses and farms within reach of
the mighty sheet of water were swiftly
carried along in the current and the

we're sucked up by the mighty river
from the clouds.
The casualties resulting from this
flood are not yet known, except that sew

destroyed, as well as handsome homes,
humble huts and many lives.

A 4PolatIes Point9


Col. John 7. McGnaw probably did not
intend to do an injustice TO his oppo-
nent, Mr.. Dayton. whom he desires to
succeed in Congress from tine Second
district, when he charged in a speech in
Keyser recently that the records showed
that Mr.. Dayton was mot present at roll
calls in the house more than half the
time in the last session. Colonel Nc
araw also probably knows for his
familiarity with the manner of doing
business In Congress, although he has
not been a member of that body himself,
is such that he should know it. that the
printed roll calls in the Record, both as
to the house and the senate. are not the
things upon which are based the estl-
mates OF the faithfulness of a represen-
tative or senator in his attendance.
He also knows that In Mr.. Dayton's case
in the recent session this would neces-
sarlly be true,
Representative Dayton Is a member of
the committee on naval affairs of the
house. All the country knows that from
the time when Congress voted within
almost an hours time a fifty million
dollar fund, last winter, for war prepar-
atoms, 10 buy and equip naval vessels
and to place the country on a war foot
ing, the naval committee was In con-
slant session. The members of that
committee were busy in the committee
rooms, and within easy reach Of their
seats upon the floor whenever their
votes were needed on important meas
ures.
This was true of all committees hsv-
ing to do with matters directly concerns
ed in providing for and carrying on the
war. There were busy days for many
congressman and senators in committee
rooms. Mr.. Dayton is one of the mem-
bers whose close attention to his duties
in washington has been a subject of
comment. Their absence from the floor
and from roll calls does not indicate
their absence from the post Of duty. 1t
Is something new in politics to gauge a
congressman's capabilities or his atten-
don 10 business, by the number Of times
he answered roll calls. Such members
do not lose their votes even when they
happen to be for any reason out Of
washington, or detained on committee
work. They are always paired on party
questions and on questions on which
there are divisions The IntellIgencer is
not Instructlng Colonel McGraw in these
matters; he does not need it; 1t Is sim
ply correcting a misunderstanding his
showing from the Record may have Gre
ated regarding Mr.. Dayton's devotion to
his work.
Elsewhere will be found a report Of
Mr.. Dayton's opening campaign speech,
in which he replies to Mr.. MeGraw's
Keyser address.

To-day the colored population OF
wheeling and surrounding towns and
cities will hold their celebration of the
emancipation of the slaves by Abraham
Lincoln. Emancipation Day has al
ways been well observed in Wheeling.
but this year the occasion will be I'M
usually interesting on account Of the
participation by the freedmen from 50
many localities outside the city, and on
account of the intention to make It serve
a double purpose OF celebrating their
own freedom and the peace which has
come to the country after the war which
the United states has just waged in the
interests OF humanity, and for human
liberty. The colored people of this coun-
try are not wanting in patriotism. Their
celebration Of this annual birthday Of
their own liberty Is always practical
demonstration OF their gratitude and
their loyalty.
In connection with to-day's celebra-
ton on the State Falr grounds, the IN
telllgencer feels that 1t should call at
tcntlon to the standard which has been
fixed By the managers for the conduct
OF the afalr.as being worthy OF the gem
eral commendation of ell good citizens,
for It has in view a strict adherence to
the spirit Of the occasion. 1t Is appro-
pirate Ia day which means so much
to the colOrcd people OF the country-to
the race which after so long term In
slavery has within little more than a
generation made such rapid advances
In shaping It's destiny, that the celcbra-
| ton should be conducted on plane ex-
presslve Of the highest appreciation OF
what was accomplished by the great
Gmancipator and Of the blessings which
have followed. It is eommendable,
therefore, that this appreciation Is to be
shown to-day on the Fair grounds by
strict prohibition OF all persons under
tine influence of liquor, that no intoxi-
cants OF any nature will be permitted on
the grounds, no sports save those Of the
most harmless character. Nothing will
be permitted which will deiract in any
way from the real significance of the
day.
! There Is nothing remarkable In this
manner OF celebrating Emancipation
Day oven in this day when holidays too
often lose their true Significance, but Il
eervea as demonstration that In the
Observance OF the occasion those who
participate are prompted by the real
spirit which should prevail on the ami
versary, which Is Of the day when new
life ana a new world opened up TO a
people that had for nearly a century OF
this republic been denied the liberties It
guaranteed Itwlll be n model Emancl-
patton Day. aud the public generally
will be sure to enter into It's spirit.

There is probably an almost universal
misrepresentation as to whence the
name came of the town OF Hamlln, the
county seat of Lincoln county. About
everybody seems to think that It was
named for Hon. Hannibal Hamlln.
From the name Of the county this error
seems 10 have taken foundation. 1t Is
stated upon good authority that the
town was named In honor OF the Bishop
Hamllue, and that 1t was originally
spened with the final "e". The name
was afterward. 1t is said. changed by
