the Flap.

Tallahassee Fla, Aug. 3.-The first
train from Carrabelle through the
storm stricken gulf section since Mon

Her docks and wharves, containing
about 100000 feet of lumber and $4,000
barrels of rosin, were swept away.
Thirteen of the fourteen large lumber
vessels in the bay were blown ashore
and are now on dry land.
These vessels contained several mill
lion feet Of lumber. No information is
yet obtainable as to the loss of vessels
from the large fleet of boats in the
neighborhood. Only two or three huts
are left standing in Carrabelle and one
colored woman is repo SAsl to be killed
by the falling of a house.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
COLUMBIA, S. c., July Is, '99.


At the beginning of the week
ending July 18th. the temper
ature was lower than usual, but
with steadily increasing heat up
to Saturday 18th on which date
it rose to from 90 to 105 degrees
except on the immediate coast.
The extreme maximum of 105 is
the highest ever recorded at Co

With the exception Of quite
general, but light showers through
out the State on the Sth, and in
few places on the 10th, there has
been no rain of any consequence

LOVE UNTOLD.

"She knows that love her.
He said in his heart,
Then went on his way
To the ciiy's great mart:
S.ii.l,s 'Shc knows that love her"
But he'd gone on his way
. Nor given one kiss
To cheer the long day
"She knows that love her"
And he did, in all truth;
He'd have yielded his life
For the wife OF his your
"Shc knows that love he'
But she Ionged all the day
For the word OF affection
He'd not time to say.
"She knows that love her."
And he smiled ut the thought.
But stocks were going up,
And had TO be bought;
"She knows that love her."
And he toiled mid the strife
To earn gold for her
To whom love had been life
She knew that loved her."
And he stood by her bier,
But now had he proven
To him she was DEAR
You knew that loved YOU
Oh, come back Lenore!''
But the heart, chilled and starved,
Could hear never more
