Macon, Ca, Sept. l5.-The Tele-
graphs dispatch from Moultrie, Ca,
says a cyclone from the southwest
struck the northern part of the town
at 2 O'Clock this morning, and caused
damage to the amount of about $50,
OOG. Three churches, including the
Primitive Baptist, which was valued
at $40, ,OOo, were practically destroyed
A pine products plant and cotton
seed old mill were wrecked and score
of small nouses were blown down.
There was no loss of life. 1t is believ-
ed that the storm spent itself in this
vicinity.

FARES TO The STATE Fair.
Somewhat Cheaper Rates Than
Usual Have Been Announced.

Columbia, Sept. 15.-The following
was issued from the Office Of the secre-
tary. of the Chamber of Commerce to-
night; ggTia .,no,,oan,ant Of the rates for
the approaching State Fair, fixed by
the railroads, has just been made by
the Southeastern Passenger Associa-
ton. The rates announced are as fol-
lows:
ssFor individuals, one frst-class
fare, plusS25 cents for round trip, plus
so cents admission to Fair grounds for
adults and % cents for children; mini
mum rate, including admission, being
81 for adults and 50 cents for children.
s.For military companies and brass
bands in uniforms, twenty-five or
more on one ticket, one cent per mile
each direction.
ssThe rate for individuals was for
several years one and one-thlrd one
frst-class fare fol. the round trip.
'sThe limit on the tickets this year
is a decided improvement. Tickets
will go on sale on October "a, the Sun
day before the Fair, and will con-
tinue on sale through the 29th, Thurs
day, and for trains scheduled to arrive
in Columbia prior to noon on October
30th, Friday, thus giving opportunity
to all to come to see the trades and
carnival parade on Friday night.
s'Tickets for shippers Of live stock
and their employees will be sold on
October 21, % and % on presentation
of certificates signed by the secretary
of the South Carolina Agricultural
and Mechanical Society.
It will be gratifying to many who
intend to attend the Fair to know that
the limit of tickets returning will be
November 2, the Monday following the
Fair.
ssThis year special validating agen-
cies will be located contiguous to the
railway stations at Columbia. They
will be in charge of Mr.. Joseph Rich
ardson and will be open one hour prior
to the departure of each train, October
26 to November 2, inclusive.
ssThe most important feature Of the
announcement is that the schedule of
rates authorized, which heretofore
only included all stations in South
Carolina and Augusta, Ga, will apply
this year to Asheville, Charlotte and
Wilmington, in North Carolina, and
to Augusta and Savannah, in Georgia,
practically all of Columbia's sister
cities. Last year the people OF Ashe-
vile complained of the failure to give
them rates and an effort to get them
failed. This year these points were
particularly urged in the application.
1.-THE time limits allowed for sale
of tickets and for return are allowed
as requested by the joint application
of the State Fair authorities and the
Chamber of Commerce committee.
Though lower rate was requested, it
was scarcely expected this year to be
better than that which has been

elRnaek ON The NEGRO QUESTION
Tennessee Senator Proposes to
Have Fifteenth Amendment Re-
pealed.
Chicago, Sept. "a disaptch TO
the Tribune from Menhpis, Tenn,

Chicago, Sept. 15.-A disaptch to
the Tribune from Menhpis, Tenn,
says:
United States Senator Carmack ex-
planned last night that his purpose in
proposing to intreduee bill at the
next session Of Congress for the repeal
Of the fifteenth amendment, thus dis
franchising the negro, is simply to
open up q discussion which will con-
tribute te ISOLATION of the race prob
lem.
To Senator Carmack's mind the
surest plan of solving the negro ques-
ton as it affects the white race, both
socially and politically, lies in the
negro's elimination from politics.
Should the fifteenth amendment be re-
pealed the question of treating with
the negro would be left to the States.
Another view entertained by Senator
Carmack is for the separation OF the
races. But how TO proceed or how
long it will take he does not attemps
TO say. He believes, however, that
the races would be better conditioned
If they were separated. He believes
the black race is failure, that it owes
what little it has achieved TO It's asso-
ciation with the white race.
AS to the enfranchisement OF the
negro Immediately after the war be-
tween the States. the Senator regards
that as a mistake. for which the re-
peal of the fifteenth amendment would
be only partial reparasion.

CUP RACERS POWERS.
True Speed Of Yachts is Difficult
10 Measure.

In the great game OF yacht sailing
inst PLAYED ouside Of Sandy Hook
there is one feature above all other
that appealed to every one of the many
thousand spectators, striking with
equal force the practical yachtsm2n

Stephens in The engineering Maga-
zine. The towering spars and enor-
nous area Of canvass on eaca contes-
tant are so far in excess OF anything
previously seen over any hull OF SINH
lar size as to challenge the attention
of the gfeenest landsman. The result
of these egreats sail plans is simply
power in excess. out OF all normal

sach excess OF power that compara-
lively small gain in actual speed is
possible. There is nothing more diff
cult to measure than the true speed

race for an entire season without one
realizing that peculiar combination
of conditions which will pat her at

We may assume that The speed OF the

siyes Of the class are capable at the

something under 80 tons, or about
40 per cent, while the sail area has,
risen from 1890 square feet to Is, COO
sQuare feet, or an incraese Of nearly
l2o per cent. incidentally, while the
cost of the modern cup racer issknown
only TO owners, designers and build

Puritan, today IN use as a cruising
schooner, cost less than one-tenth of
the bronze Reliance, whose value in a

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE' S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT rlEDEcINE.
MR.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
| Am Now in the Best of Health

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., IL. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that 1t had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
ssI acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
nay case.

incurable: 1 was indeed in critical condi-
ton. could not go from the house alone.
as I was liable to sudden collapse. tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. could not sleep; anything that
ate increased my agonies; l was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and respondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
SCATTER the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for time, am now in the best OF
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God / am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound.
