SAIL OUT OF PORT.
UNUSUAL SIGHT IN THE HAIR
Dor OF CHARLESTON.
Fifteen Schooners Pass Out to Ocean
With Favorable Breezes After
Varying Stays In Pert.

Varying Stays In Pert.
The Charleston Post says q strik
ingly handsome sight was AFFORDED
Monday morning in the departur,
Of fifteen schooners out Of the harbol
after a detention by contrary wind!
to nearly a month. Since the las
week in August, the wind has beer
holding to the east and northeas
daily with the exception of Sep
TENDER 1 and 6, when for a par
Of these days it veered to the souti
and southwest. Last night the wind
the passing of the rainstorm of yes
terday and the coming Of the high
pressure from the west, and bright
and early this morning the sails
were raised and the long detained
feet raised anchors and started down
the bay.
1t was a beautiful sight, rarely
seen in Charleston or any South At
lantic harbor, for this number OF
vessels are not often cleared and
made ready to sail together. III
some cases two or three abreast
and at times strung out in single
| column, it seemed as If some armada
of centuries ago, before steam dis
placed canvas to the methods of
| propulsion of ships of war, was
| proceeding to attack an enemy.
Slowly at first, and then at a faster
gait, the feet moved down the ha:-
Dor and the sight was viewed with
much interest and pleasure. In some
cases until the vessels became as so
many little black specks against the
horizon.
The vessels which sailed were all
bound for New York with cargoes
Of lumber. Nine Of the vessels
were cleared with cargoes here AMI
the remaining six we're from thu
southwark, having put into Charles
ton for a harbor, made necessary
by the easterly winds. The Lottie
Russells, one of the vessels which
sailed, essayed the task the FIRST
part of the month and after having
remained at sea off Charleston
thirteen days, unable to make any
progress, and being as a painted
ship upon a painted ocean; returned
to port. She will have better luck
this time.
The anxiety of the fleet to get to
sea was evidenced in the departure
Of so many vessels In the face OF
the knowledge of the existence OF q
tropical storm off Cuba. The ad-
vices that the storm was curving
and would probably not come in this
direction was not received until the
fleet had left port. The masters
were taking no more chances on be-
ing shut up In port.
The fleet which sailed today was
made up of the following Schooners:
Judge Pennewell, Edgar g. Ross,
Massachusetts; Thomas Winsmore,
Harry Prescott. Victor c. Records,
| George May, Thomas F. Pollard
| Warren Adams, John B. Manning,
Joel Cook, Lottie Russell and Paul
H. Dudley.

Negro Man Killed Saturday nlpht.

Last Saturday night in that part
OF the town inhabited by the labor
ers OF the tobacco farm and packing
mouse a negro man named Win
Dixon was shot and instantly killed
ny another negro whose name is
Arthur Mckinney, both being we'll
known in town.
From what we can learn of the
affair it seems that the dalkies had
gathered at certain house to par.
ticipate in a festival. The negro
Mckinney in passing through the
door of the house was jostled by
another negro man who stepped on
bis loot. Mckinney didn't like il
and resented what he deemed an in
suit to his feelings. The negro
apologized and stated that he "didn' t
mean to do it," but Arthur wouldn' I
be appeased and pulling his pistol
began to shoot. The negro Dixon,
who was standing near, although
not mixed up in the affair at all, Ie.
ceived one ofthe bullets which kill
ed him instantly. The shooting was
the signal for an immediate clearing
out of the Others present and when
the officers reached the spot there
were hardly enough present to tell
tue tale. Arthur made 60, d his
escape but was captured Sunday and
is now in the county Jail awaiting
trial for his deed. 1t is another case
Of the eyer ready pistol and the
trouble onels llkely to get into by
perslstently carrying one of the mis-
cradle things in his pocket at all
times. Both of the darkles are well
known and well thought of by their
race,

dicats that last years crop of Sumatra
was an off one, too. That America did
not take more than eighteen hundred
bales in two inscriptions OF over thirty
thousand, must naturally create the i'm
preston that the tobacco offered could
not have been up to the standard of at
least the two preceding years. unless it
is assumed that the unusual abstention
on the part of the American buyers is
chiefly due to the effects of the panic.
While ordinary precaution in these
might counsel retrenchment in buying

Business is merely dragging along in

others are holding out in expectation to

There is no doubt that within the mem

poor year for the tobacco crops all over

fully one third of last years crop has
turned out too trashy for the legitimate

to be. therefore, plentiful and that may
prove Godsend to our stogie, cheroot

working on the margin of famine in the
past two years on account of the too
