Offerman, Ca, Oct. 5.-Onerman came in
for its share of the rain and wind storm
that swept along the Atlantic coast sun
day. Beginning early Sunday morning,
and lasting until the sunset, rain poured
in torrents, and the velocity Of the wind
was very great The oldest and best in
formed citizens of this vicinity declare
t1.s to have been the severest storm, and
OF longer duration, than any of previous
years estimating the velocity of the wind
to have been not less than seJcnty-hve

Considerable loss was sustained by resi-
dents of the town, and reports thai come
in from the surrounding community are
tc the effect that the wind swept all be
fore it, leaving farms. timber, forests aud
orchards a barren waste. LAt 2:3i o'clock

among the men, women and children. Hus-

and killing cattle in this city. Yesterday
morning the residents Of East Hill were
disturbed by the believing of a cow that

ported to the police and officer Daw was
detailed to investigate the case. After
careful research he found the hide, head
tail and one foot of the calf in the woods
where II had been butchered Saturday

A Correct, Common Sense View.

From the Charleston Post.
Charleston has lost in the contest with
Savannah for federal patronage We may
embark a few thousand troops from this
port. but there will be no general move
ment through the port. Possibly a small
canp will be established at Summerville
but this is not assured. The army hospi-
tai will be established at Savannah
Charleston has lost at every point. Sa-
vannah has been particularly successful
and we offer our congratulations to her
The Georgia port has been selected as the
site for an army hospital and also as the
port of embarkation. Both are fruitful
sources Of revenue and Savannah viii
reap a rich harvest from the patronage
she has secured May she earn it easily
and enjoy It fully. We think Charleston
should have at least divided with Savan-
nah the patronage of the federal govern
ment, but il was Savannah's business to
get ali she could, and she has been more
successful than Charleston aud we cannot
feel any resentment against her
Incidentally, the turning down" of
Charleston contains some wholesome les
sons for this community, which we hope
will be taken TO heart. Savannah has
shown better developed facilities and has
employed superior business methods to
Charleston. our defects have been thrown
into a full light that should make them
clear to the most short-sighted of Charles
tonians. We have natural advantages
above Savannah, as the reports of the
examining boards show, but Savannah
has better facilities. Savannah has over
come greater difficulties than Charleston
and has reached a superior state The
only conclusion possible Is that the peo-
pie of Savannah have employed better
energies and have produced greater re-
suits than the people Of Charleston 1t Is
a hard fact TO face but it looks as If
we must come to 1t. The best thing for

that Savannah will be the port of de-
parture for all the troops and supplies
for our new possessions in the West In
dies The war department and Savannah
are both to be congratulated on this wise
selection. In this connection it should be
said that Macon is the most natural place
for the big camp. II not only is equal 10
any Of the sites selected in natural ad-
vantage of climate and location, but is
by long odds superior to any of them
in facilities for moving large bodies of

crop in Mcintosh is almost a total loss.
Wharves are wrecked, vessels blown

1t took him fifteen hours to go twenty
eight miles. which will give some idea of
the condition Of the roads.
The colored people in this, Liberty county
are the greatest losers as in many instan-
ces they have lost everything.
Mr.. w. A. Jones of Riceboro. is the
heaviest loser in the county. as he loses
fifty acres of rice that had Just been cut.

FATEFUL AURoRAs.
Their Shining for the Empress OF
Austria Recalls other Instances.
From the London Mail

Austria Recalls other Instances.
From the London Mail.
The remarkable display Of aurora which
was observed in several countries Of Eu-
rope besides our own. and strangely
enough, was especially brilliant in Swift
zerland on the Friday night a few hours
before the assassination of the Empress
OF Austria-seems, writes a correspondent,
to furnish another and most curious full
fillment of an ancient belief formerly uni
versal all over Europe.
In one of his best-known poems Aytoun
describes these fearful Iights'-the
northern Streamers" which always por-
tend the fate "of Kings and heroes"
The coincide is the more remarkabla
since the same phenomena occurred on the
nights preceding the deaths Of the En-
peror William l of Germany and of the
late Emperor Frederick.
The magnificent displays of the aurora
that occurred Immediately before the bat
tie OF Sedan, ana afefward just before the
CapitulatiOn of Paris, are matters Of his
tory, as they were among the most spleu-
did witnessed during the present century
The latter, especially caused no little con-
sternatiOn upon the overwrought nerves
of the besicged inhabitants of Paris, who
imagined that the blood-red glow which
filled the sky was due to the Prusslans
having burned their historic town and
palace or Versailles. So many other in
stances of the same remarkable coinci-
dence might be cited that one is inclined
to wonder-especiauy in the very numer-
Gus cases i'm which they have preceded a
great crime or great political convulslon
whether the magnetic effect Of the suns
spots, which always produce aurora in our
material atmosphere. can by some IN
known means extend to the complex or
ganism of human nerves and mind. and
produce perturbation that leads to crime
or some desperate political venture
The idea IS not perhaps so absurd as It
might seem, for the connection, especially
among the excltable Latin races, between
an abnormal rise In temperature due to
the same cause and great increase of
crime and suicide Is well known.
