Gales, TIDAL WAVES
AND''CL0UDBURSTS.
Charlestown, S. S., Swept by Terrific
Storm---Torpedo Boats Ashore
Twelve Lives Lost.

Charlestown, S. c., Aug. 29.-Six
torpedo boats lie ashore here, a score OF
more of other vessels are sunk or dana
aged by pounding against the sea. wall
and a dozen lives are believed to have
been lost, as result Of Sundays hurri-
cane and inundation.
The sea-wall around the harbor has
been damaged at number Of places
and the lower part Of the town flooded.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 29.-Meager re-
ports from Charleston, S. c., today say
that fifteen are missing there besides
seven known dead, as the result OF the
hurricane of Sunday. 1t IS feared that
the death list will reach thirty in the
city alone, and perhaps hundred when
reports are received from isolated spots
on the coast.
Wrecks OF small craft are floating in
to the city, telling the story OF deaths
at sea. A mass of debris clogs the
lowlying sections OF the city, inhabited
mostly by negroes and fishermen. The
property loss was estimated today to
be about S2,O00,000. A hundred fami-
lies are homeless, their houses having
literally been blown to pieces by the
1O0-mile an hour gale, or swept beneath
monster waves that flooded the outlying
sections of the city.
Men from outlying islands are reach
ing Charleston today with stories OF
devastation. Thousands of head OF
cattle were washed out to SEQ by an
unprecedented rise in the tides, and, in
many cases, entire houses we're swept
on the waters, the inhabitants clinging
to the wreckage until the debris was
washed ashore. Reports received here
from the vicinity of Charleston say
that rice and sea island cotton crops
were utterly ruined. There is grave
danger Of starvation of natives of the
stricken section unless aid can be ex-
tended to them at once.
Travellers from Charleston reaching
here today declared that the South
Caroliua city felt the full force OF the
hurricane. Great trees we're uprpoted,
scores of buildings unroofed, and sand
blown into the sewers and streets. The
sewerage system was reported to have
been completely clogged. y score or
more OF schooners, including several
government vessels are lying helpless
on the beach around the harbor, and
the seawall bas been partially de-
molished.
Tybee Island, a summer resort at
the mouth of the Savannah river,
suffered great damage, but hotel guests
fed to the city on a special train.
Reports fltering in from smaller
communities in the path of the storm
say that tie cotton crop was buried
in the sand and corn beaten fiat by
the force Of the wind and rain. Whole
tracts of pines owned by the turpen-
tine trust" were blown down.
Atlanta, Aug. ga brief dispatch
received here today from Brunswick,
Ga, reported that that town had suf-
fered from violent storm last night,
great damage being done by gala,
much heavy rain and rising tides. The
wireless station at Brunswick was de-
molished.
Reports this afternoon say that many
buildings were unroofed on st. Sim
nous and Jekyl Island, near Savannah,
Ga. The clubhouse on Jekyl Island
was blown down, it was reported.

INSANITY ONLY COURSE
LEFT OPEN To HENRY bEATTIE.

witness, scarcely giving him time tc
answer. The fusillade did not bother
Paul much, however, and he was turn
ed over to Wendenburg for redirect
examination.
The prosecution contented itself with
few questions showing Paul's physical
and mental condition when he told his
contradictory story at the inquest
Smith asked few questions along this
line.
Did you say after you had testified
at the inquest that you were glad to gel
even with your uncle Henry and his
family? ?" Smith asked,
'NoSI never said anything like
that"
Judge Watson asked few questions
OF Paul Beattie and then the stal
witness of the prosecution was excused.
He left the stand with bis story
shaken in no material point by two
hours of gruelling cross-examination.
Judge Watson ordered that Paul be
held for further appearance if that be
found necessary.
Wendenburg then called Frank
Mason to corroborate Pau. ltory OF
his movements the night Henry asked
him to buy the gun.
Judge Watson ruled that as the
discrimination of Paul had not
developed any dispute of Paul's story
the testimony was unnecessary called
to corroborate Paul the defense attacked
bis story.
John Sandifer, friend Of Henry
Beattie was then called. He told of a
trip to lawyer Smiths home with
Henry the Thursday night after the
killing.
I'VE left abouc 1:30 O'Clock, said
Sandifer," and Henry told me that he
wanted to find out if the authorities
had got hold of Beulah Binford. He
telephoned to Paul and when he came
back he said he had called Paul and
that no one had been there.
"Mr. Wells, who was with US, said,
We'll, suppose you feel uetter now,
and Beattie said Yes. "
This corroborated Paul's story of his
phone call from Henry. Evidently
the prosecution bad expected stronger
story from Saniifer for Wendeuburg
examined him with great vigor.
The announcement was made when
the prosecution objected to Smith
asking John Sandifer to tell what
Beattie's reputation to cruelty and
inhumapity" was Judge Watson
ruled that character testimony was
not admissible unless the prisoner was
to be placed on the stand. There upon
Smith declared that be would place
his client on the stand.
Henry Clay Beattie will take the
stand to make bis own fight for life.
His, lawyer, n. H, Smith, said that
the prisoner would be called in the
course of legal argument today.
The rush for reserve seats" at the
trial OF Beattie has become so violent
that several of the enterprising indivi-
duals of Chesterfield county anticipated
it and spent the night at the court
house.
One man slunbered at Che base OF the
statue of the Confederate Soldier which,
ornaments the court house green. An
other citizen of the county curled him
self up in the corner of bench in the
vestibule Of the county's Temple OF
Justice, pulled his cap over his eyes
and reposed undisturbed in the arms
OF Morpheus the whole night through,
entirely oblivious of the songs OF the
crickets outside, or the scurry Of gray
wiskered rodents inside the building.

The twelfth legislative assembly is
approaching the end of it's official
existence, and the sessions in the
senate are growing more interesting
and every day there is good at
tendance in the gallery and on the
floor. The ball was started rolling
yesterday when the senate resolved
itself into committee of the whole
for the purpose Of considering S. B.
1O3 which is called the druggists per.
NIT bill, but which in reality would
do away with the permit system and
would provide that intoxicating liquor
be sold only on prescription of the
physicians who are regularly practic-
ing in the state. A motion was made
for the adoption of the report of the
minority of the committee which was
a recommendation for indefinite post.
ponement. Senator Garden rose to
protest against the motion and spoke
for over half hour on the merits of
the bill as he saw them. He was
replied to by Senator Talcott who
maintained that the present law was
adequate as any that had been devised
and far superior to the one that was
being proposed. Senator Davis was
for the new bill and gave quite a
lengthy talk on the matter. Duis
thought the bill was a good one and
stated that he believed thoroughly in
the enforcement Of the prohibition
law and believed the new bill would
go long way toward the better en-.
forcement of the law. He did not
think that the physicians of the state
as whole or any great number of
them would SO far forget their stand
ing as to descend to the writing of
prescriptions for "boozers' to make a
living. Garden got rather tangled up
in some of his statements where he
connected the druggists with the w.
c. T. U. but he extricated himself
when the trend OF his remarks was
called to his attention. Mcdowell
stated that he was in favor of making
the sale of liquor as hard as it was
possible and that for that reason he
did not think the present bill was
framed right and that it would tend
to make bad druggists and bad ply

Senator Steele very seldom takes the
floor. but when he does there is at
tention paid to his remarks. There
were a number of other speakers on
the hill. some Of them confessing
that they were unable. after the flow
OF oratory, to decide just how they
would vote. The minority report
was voted on and declared adopted,
a standing vote showing q being in
favor of the motion and against the
bill. After the committee arose and
reported roll call was taken on
the report of the committee and there
were 80 for the adoption of the CON-
mittee report and Is opposed, so the
bill has been indefinitely postponed.
