most destructive to herds of horses and
cattle. The risk OF life aud difficulties at
tending their destruction has caused The
lions to be more numerous than one would
suppose, and If it were not for the bounty
paid by the county the stocknlen would
be short on their cattle and horses. Much

SEPARATING THE RACES.
Jim Crow Car Bill Became Law in
South Carolina.

Thursday the separate coach Law went
into effect in South Carolina, and on all
the trains cars with the usual dividing
partition were being used. This law,
which is commonly known as the Jim
Grow Car" bill, was passed at the last
session Of the legislature, and it is sup
posed that the railroads are generally
prepared to enfore it. Hereafter the
railroads are required to provide sepa-
rate accommodations for white and col
ored passengers and to strictly enforce
the division of the races.
The bill has been annually brought
up in Legislature for many years, but
the majority Of members have hereto
fore thought such legislation unneces-
sarv. ard the measure has been killed.
Last year however. the bill was passed
and became law, and no doubt the
railroads will comply with the condi-
tons and enforce the provisions as far
as possible.
The law in regard to separate cars
for white and colorcd passengers has
been in force in Georgia for some time,
and is said to work very well indeed.
Many people in this state, however,
think the law useless and unnecessary.
The negroes, as a rule, behave them
selves well on the trains in South Car
olina. and very many Of them travel
second class in order to save money

SUICIDE OR ACCIDENT.
Two Boys Drowned in a Georgia
Lake.

A dispatch from Demorest, Ca, to
the Atlanta Journal, say: Jimmie
Stephens and Clyde Scott, aged 10 and
u, respectively, were drowned in lake
Demorest at 5 p. M, Wednesday. The
boys were both living with their grand
parents near here, there parents living
in Spartanburg, S. c. The little fell
lows were so unruly that their grand
father had requested the city marshal to
send them home whenever he found
them in town. 1t is supposed that
they had come in on the lake side to
avoid the marshal and had undressed
in an old boat house where their clothes
we're found. The lake at this point
is shallow with sloping banks, but had
been drawn down about seven feet to
repair trestle that crosses the upper
end of the lake, leaving long strip Of
sand and mud exposed between the
boat house and the water. The boys
ran across this and jumped into the
water over the old creek run. They
did not come to the surface but once.
Several persons saw them drown and
went to their assistance, but were too
late. They We're both taken out within
FIVE minutes. Dr. G. W. D. Patterson
and others worked over them for fully
three hours, but failed torestore circula-
ton. The bodies were taken charge
of by the city authorities.

ROBBED HIS FRIEND.
Ex-Mayor Fritz Il. Twitchell, of Bath,
Me-, Defaulter.

Ex-Mayor Fritz Fl. Twitchcll: one
of Bath most prominent citizens, and
a member of Governor Powers coun-
Gil, and well known in business circles
in Maine and Massachusetts,, is con-
fessed embczzler. The amount Of the
embezzlement is placed at $50, 900, but
it may exceed that sum. It is alleged
that, for the past II or Is years, during
which time Mr.. Twitchell has been con-
nccted with the Worumbo Woolen
Manufacturing company, various sums
have been appropriated by him. These
amounts were charged to the expense
account, so that the business had not
become involved at any time. When
confronted with the evidence, Mr..
Twitchell acknowledged his guilt, but
it is thought no prosecution will fol
low, as the one most deeply involved
is Galen S. Moses, treasurer Of the
mills, inclined to treat the matter as one
of personal wrong rather than an in
stance of criminal intent. Mr. Tw;t-
chell, who is at his summer home at
Popham Beach, is in poor health. He
refuses to discuss the situation. The
disclosures in the case were precipitated
by the personal assignment of Mr..
Moses, which was announced Tuesday,
and in which Mr.. Moses himself says
more than $4,000 worth of property
is involved, Mr.. Twitchell was chosen
mayor in 1891 and 1892. He was sent
to the legislature in 1893 and 1895, and
this year he was selected member of
the executive council. He has been
grand commander of the Masonic COM
mandery Of Maine and is past grand
chancellor of the knights of Pythias.

A SEVERE STORM.
Damage to Property Nearly Half
Million Dollars.

While there was no loss of life from
Wednesday nights storm which swept
Savannah, the damage to property will
foot up close to half million dollars.
The storm began early Tuesday night
and ragged with increasing violence uE-
til s o'clock Wednesday morning. 1t
was at its height between + and 8
o clock. when the wind reached veloci-
ty of 50 miles an hour. 1t was then
that the heaviest damage was done.
When daylight came the streets were
impossible from debris. Probably 100
buildings were wholly or partially un-
rooted, and as many were damaged IN
other ways The roof was torn from
half of the Savannah theatre, and the
auditorium Of that building was trans
formed into lake. The First Baptist
church is among the most heavily dam
aged buildings. The entire western
half of the roof was lifted from the
walls and carried into the street below.
The handsome organ was filed with
water and the rich frescoeing was ruined.
St. Johns EpiscopaD, the First and
the Independent Presbyterian and the
Lutheran church of the Ascension were
also damaged. In the business part Of
the city dozens of stores were unroofed
and windows were blown in and the in
teriors flooded. There was no tele-
graphic communication during the day
until late in the evening, when the
Western Union and Postal Gable lines
were in partial working order. Street
car travel is blocked, and tonight the
city is in darkness. The streets are a
network of tangled wires. In the har-
Dor and at quarantine at Tybee: the
damage to shipping is heavy.

THE FARMERS WIFE.
She Is Entitled to More Consideration
Than She Gets.

The farmers wife gets very little
sympathy, but great deal is heard
from time to time of the hardworking
farmer, who according to his own show
inc. works all the hours that are made
and few over. He is always up be-
fore daylight and he keeps on working
till long after dark. He says so him
self and he ought to know. [ have
studied the farmer for more years than
| now care to count, and | feel impell-
ed to say that | don't quite agree with
him when he talks of all work and no
recreation. On well managed farms in
the coast districts where regular rota-
tion Of crops is grown, the farmer and
his assistants are kept pretty fully oc-
cupied during the greater portion Of
the year; but in the wheat growing 10
calities there is always a very easy
time between the sowing and harvest
ing periods. If the farmer works then,
the result of his labor is not often ap-
parent. The farmers wife, on the con-
trary, has to work hard all the year
round, and harder than usual when the
harvest is being gathered. She it is
who really keeps the house going by
her industry and economy, and the
money she makes out of poultry. eggs,
butter, etc., which the wheat grower
looks upon as rather beneath his notice
though he well knows their value in
reducing the household bills. If dairy
ing as we'll as agriculture is carried on,
the female members Of the household
do most of the milking, while the far
mer takes the milk to the butter facto-
ry or creamery, and discusses the East
ern question with other farmers whom
he meets there, believing all the time
that he is working hard. l never knew
a prosperous farmer who did not owe a
large measure of his success to his
wife, but neither in the press nor on
the platform has she ever received the
recognition she deserves. The farmers
wife is entitled to far more considera-
tion than she now gets. She should
not be compelled to wait her reward
till I'VE meet to greet each other in the
coming by and by. The Australasian

ANOTHER HORRIBLE CRIME.
Fourteen Men Die Enroute to this
Country from Cuba.

A Brooklyn Eagle special from Mon
tauk Point says: The transports Allie
gheny and Panther arrived Thursday
from Santiago. The Allegheny cast
anchor in the bay about 9 o'clock. She
left the south coast of Cuba on August
24. and made slow voyage. On board
arc Companies A, B, c, D, Z, +, G,
and H, Of the Ninth Massachusetts,, in
all 625 soldiers, Of whom l45 are sick.
Fourteen men died on the voyage,
and all were buried at sea. This is the
largest number Of deaths at sea on any
of the incoming transports, and the
deaths were mainly in the cases OF
those who were critically i'll when
placed aboard at Santirgo. The soldiers
were in command of Capt. Sullivan.
The Panther left two days later than
the Allegheney, and got in shortly af-
ter o'clock Thursday morning, max
ing a comparativelyfast trip. She car.
pics 106 members Of Companies | and
VI of the Ninth Massachusetts,, and 10
are on the sick list. Private Dadden Of
Company NJ died and was buried at
sea. In explaining the II deaths Of
the Massachusetts men while on the
voyage from Cuba. the surgeons said
that the Allegheny brought all the
seriously sick Of the regiment. There
are l43 i'll Of the Massachusetts, regi-
ment still on the vessel. but hey are
not down with contagious diseases. DR..
Magruder and inspecting officers say
the Allegheny is a cattle ship, not even
fit for we'll troops, much less for sick
soldiers.

FOR BETTER PRIZES.
A State Convention of Cotton
Growers Called.
TO MEET SEPTEMBER 20.
Every County Should Organize
and Send Delegates. lmpend.
ing Crisis of Starvation
Prices Must be Met.

The following important call ''to the
cotton growers Of South Carolina" was
issued yesterday:
have been requested to call a meeting
of the cotton growers to meet in Colum
bia, S. c., on Tuesday, September 20,
1898.
1t is requested that every county in
this State send delegates to this con-
vention.
The county organization in each
county is requested TO meet and elect
delegates. Where it is impracticable
to call mass meeting, the county pres
idents are requested to see to it that
delegation comes to the State conVen-
ton. Where there is no organization
those interested are most earnestly re-
quested to cooperate with the clerk OF
courtof said county, the clerks being
hereby requested to interest themselves,
at least to the extent Of seeing that
their. counties are represented.
This meeting will take steps tina
will be of inestimable benefit to every
cotton grower in this State
The Hon. Hector D. Lane hayi ng
died, his successor has been named, by
election of Col. Maxwell Of Louisiana
to fill said Office.
Alta conference in Memphis, a COM
mittee fron each State was appointed
to negotiate for money, whereby liens
on the present crop could be taken up
and the bulk Of the crop Of this year
held of for so or 80 days, and perhaps
longer; which, it is hoped will force
present prices up.
The big crop that is now predicted
is liable to depress present prices.
The producer has the key to the sit
uation if he can be induced to act as
unit. Send, delegates from every COM
munity, and let them discuss plans in
county convention for this crop, also
for the next crop, and send county re-
concentrations to the State conven-
tion.
Every daily and. weekly newspaper
in this State is respectfully requested
to give publicity to this call, and to as
sist the cotton growers in this underta-
king.
The Importance Of doing something
to relieve the present depressed price
is urged as the reason for calling the
convention at so early date. Let
every cotton grower interest himself
enough to see that his section is repre-
sented.
Convention to meet at o'clock p. m.
Correspondence solicited.

GEN. JOE WHEELER.
A Georgia Friend Tells How He Once
Unmasked a Battery.

At the battle Of New Hope Church,
between Atlanta and Chickamauga,
General Walker sent Major William Il.
Ross, who was on his staff, to ascertain
from General Wheeler, who occupied
an advance position. what was in his
front.
He found the general on his horse,
with one leg over the pommel Of the
saddle. Saluting him, Major Ross
said:
General Walker intends to make a
charge at this point, and would like to
know if the cne'1y has a masked bat
terry in front Of us.
7 don't know, major" General
Wheeler replied, ''but l can soon find
out, and swinging into position in his
saddle, he galloped up to slight emf
nence, accompanied by Major Ross and
his staff, and planted a guidon. Amo-
ment later puff of smoke in the dis
tance and the sputtering Shrek OF a
shell as it few over them, showed what
was ahead.
Turning to Major Ross, the general
said:
Give General Walker my compli-
ments, and say there is masked bat
terry in front Of US.
Major Ross ventured the remark that
it was rather risky way Of uumasking
a battery.
THE first shots always fly high was
the cool reply. Its the shots that fol
low that are dangerous.
"When I returned and reported to
General Walker" said the major, Il
requested him to send some one else
the next time he wished batteries un-
masked by General Wheeler.
