The General was shown an Associo-

Winnie Davis. Tho General was
asked if the title could be transferred,
and replied with great enthusiasm:
"Emphatically no. Miss Winnie

Davis born in the Confederate White

government. No daughter Of any

would not bo appropriate to call oven
tho daughter Of Robert Il. Loo the

dosignate anyone olse as tho dangh-
tor of tho Confedoracy would not
only be inappropriate and moaning
loss, but deprive tho title of all it's
value. In tho worry nature Of the
case no ono except Miss Winnie
could be entitled to be called tho

Savannah, Ga, October 2.-For
e'lhteen hours, from s o'clock this
morning until & o'clock tonight, Sn
vannah has been in tho grasp of Il
West Idia cyclone. During that
time tho wind blew steadily from
fifty to seventy miles an hour While
the city escaped with comparatively
little damage tho loss of property
among the sen islands of tho Georgia
and South Carolina coasts is believed
to be heavy.
For miles in every direction around
Savannah tho lowlands along tho
rivers arc submerged. Only ono
fatality has 40 far boon reported
tho drowning of negro wnilo at
tempting to reach tho mainland from
small island near Thunderbolt-
but heavy loss of life is feared on
the South Carolina son islands, where
such fearful loss of life occurred dur
ing tho great tidal storm of 1893.
The conditions now arc similar to
those during that storm. Owing to
the submerged country and tho
isolated location of the islands no
news can be had from them until tho
water subsidies. For miles north of
Savannah tho entire country is n lake
with onl y the hammocks visible. At
noon the water was 8 foet above tho
highest tide. Driven on shore by tho
northeast storm it piled up on tho
islands, swept over banks and dams,
carrying away tho remnant Of the
rico crop that WAS left by tho August
storm and had not been gathered,
and wiping ont farm crops.
RICE CROPS DESTROYED.
The loss to rico growers alone will
be from $4,000 to $4,000. OF tho
entire rico crop along tho Savannah
River, valued at $4,000, all but Is
per cent was lost in this and the pre-
coding storm. Tho damage to ship.
ping liz considerable. The schooner
Governor Ames, which WAS on hor
way to sea with cargo of 100000
feet of lumbor, went adrift in the
river, but WAS finally anchored safe
ly. Tho wharvos mt tho quarantine
station at tho entrance to the river
here wore prrtially carried away.
The quarantine officer and his fami-
ly and sorvents were rescued carly in
the day by a tug. -Four vessels,
which were at anchor ut the station

For three months they have been
away from us. suffering the hardships
and privations of fever cursed camp
In the intense heat of a Georgia sum-
mer. Death and sickness have thinned
their ranks. and the regiment is but
the shadow Of the magnificent organi-
cation that went away. The boys
have been serving the flag as truly as
the heroes of Santiago or Manila, and
though they have not seen the fighting
they longed for they have shown
themselves true soldiers and worthy
sons of Maine. They deserve our ap-
plause, our cheers, our gratitude, and
their welcome home should be made a
memorable occasion in the history Of
the State.
No doubt a crowd will be here from
other points to join Augusta citizens
in the welcome. Let all turn out. and
let every voice join in the cheers. Let
every flag be flung to the breeze. Let
every bell peal out it's greeting. Let
the thunder of cannon awaken the
echoes in the hills which will so glad
den the eyes of the returning troops.
The citizens and the city government
should take the necessary steps at
once to make Fridays welcome worthy
the occasion.
