Charleston Not Badly
Hurt by Inundation

ATLANTA. Ga, Aug. 2s.-The reports
that Charleston, S. c.. had been sub.
merged by a tidal wave following a
terrific hurricane that devastated that
city last night were set at rest today
when a few passengers from trains
leaving that city last night arrived here
and reported that although great dam
age had been done by the storm to
harbor shipping, the inundation had
only affected outlying islands.
According to the story told by pas
sengers, the city's lighting system was
cut of, all telephone and telegraph
wires blown down, and piers and
wharves destroyed. Islands off the
coast, they said, were completely sub
merged by an unprecedented rise In the
sea.
Advices from Savannah today were
that the city had been greatly DANA ged
by the storm and high water. No lives

You have all got 70 so to church
tonight" said the sheriff at the supper
table last night, and the jurors obeyed
In the morning they were taken for
long walk. After dinner they loIled
about, most of them, though one chal-
lenged the sheriff to a game of quoits.
Sheriff Gill ruminated some time. This
here Sabbath breaking might not look
good to all the people II they heard
tell of ii, but l hate to see any young
sprig like you a-getting chesty when
the only real quot thrower in the
county is around"
After further conference the Jurors
and the sheriff slipped off to the back
of the hotel, and when the necessary
horseshoes had been found the battle
was on. Sheriff Gill put II all over his
opponent. The sheriff made ringer

sermon. Mr. Shearer mad been warned
not to refer to the Beattie murder trial,

he touched which could be called time

Jurors Listen Attentively.
The jurors listened almost as atten-
