Col. James M. Mobley loft Saturday for
the Warm Springs camp-meeting
Frank Hadluv ami C. W. Harris took in
the camp-meeting on yesterday. They re
port a tremendous crowd, and all seemed
to be enjoying themselves.
Mr. Bucnaimn and lady, from Marvvn
Ala., are on a visit to Hamilton ’

Mr. Henry Hubbard, of Blue Sprimrs
district, had a little child about three years
old to be bitten by a ground rattlesnake
last Friday. The little sufferer is now
resting quietly, and hope is entertained
that the child will recover. It was bitten
Oil the toot, lliu snake was killed and had
seven rattles. Hr. Brewster attended the
case.
M. W. Barber, the photographer, lias do
cHicd to remain a while longer in Haniii-
toll. Mr. Barber is an exception to Hie
general rule applicable to traveling artists
His pictures compare well with those taken
by inly artist. He guarantees satisfaction
and the unanimous verdict of all his pnt-
rons is that he does good work at moder
ate prices.
Hudson & Johnston, the live cotton firm
ofyour city, are thoroughly renovating
their commodious warehouse here bv
tearing up the floor und putting it down
upon a flrmer and better foundation,taking
up the plank sewers and replacing them
by terra cotta piping. They will in a few
days be ready to receive and handle all
cotton brought them with promptness and
efficiency.
Our enterprising townsman, S. R. Mur
phy, is thinking of extending his already
large business here by opening a furniture
bouse. For that purpose he has bougnt
and is renovating the old stand where J. 1
W. Gamble, during liis life, did business. I
When Murphy gets in his furniture he will
stop all that trade in the furniture line I
that originally went to Columbus.
Mrs. H. \V. Pitts, ot Hamilton, is quite t
sick at her residence, of typho-malarial
fever. All of her family have gathered I
here to assist in seeing to her wants. The '
doctor thought, yesterday evening, that
she was better. A host of relatives and I
friends would be gladened, indeed, to !
know of her improvement.
Two energetic and enterprising young !
men of Hamilton were overheard, a few |
days ago, discussing the outlook for a good, I
first-class livery stable here. Should they I
embark in the business, it will be supply- j
ing a long felt necessity ; should the mer- ]
chants here encourage the move by
patronizing them, they will certainly give I
the enterprise a fair test. There is noth- :
ing that adds more to the enjoyment of a
town than good conveyances.
We were sorry to learn that Mr. William !
Cojieland was sick at his home in Valley
Plains district. Air. Copeland is one of the
old land-marks of our county, and serves
to show the rising generation what success
there is to a man who sticks closely to his
business and uses close economy with its
earnings. We will note gladly his con- j
vaieseenee.
We have been much amused by the
many theories advanced by scientific men
■as to the cause of the earthquake. We !
have long since studied everything that
pertained to tae interior of the earth that :
we could, with great interest. Blit as i
geologists tell us, we can’t get deep into 1
the crust of the earth, we are forced to i
formulate theories as to the interior of t he
earth as drawn from facts gathered from !
things exterior. We have from these men !
the cause assigned to volcanic action, land :
slides beneath the surface, movements of I
the interior produced by great internal ]
heat unequally radiated. But the gist of j
it all is, it was a shake—a terrible shake— j
a shake that caused the bravest men to
tremble at the demonstration of this un- !
known and inconveivable foree somewhere .
exerted, whose radiation, so
to speak, caused the crust I
of the earth with its population |
to vibrate in unison with it. It seems to !
defy all theories by coming just when no !
one expects it. It reminds us of a well
known cotton buyer. He says that he goes
at his business carefully and for a season
his margins show constant gain; then he
thinks he has got the fluctuations just
right. About that time the market takes
a wrong tendency, knocking into a “jiffy”
all the calculations and theories he had
made. We were talking with an old ex-
Hamilton gentleman a few days since, and
he said that many years ago, when he
resided here, that there were many traces
of earthquake to be seen. The traces were
to be found from Warm Springs to this
place. We had never heard anything
connecting this famous place of resort with
any of these internal earthly commotions,
hut it is an undeniable fact that its waters
taste queer. He stated that the main
trace was in the rocks to be seen,bearing a
burnt appearance; and on being broken,
which he stated was easily done, traces of
volcanic action could be easily seen.
Cotton is opening rapidly now. We
took a short trip into the country last
week and was struck with the change that
had taken place in one week. On most of
the old land where guano had been used
freely, rust was'to he seen everywhere.
This will cause the matured bolls to open
rapidly, but will, in a great many instances,
cause the younger fruit to dry up, and if
it opens at all will be of an inf erior grade.
The Enquiber-Sun is still growing more
popular every day. Every one is pleased
with the print and the general make-up of
the paper. Too much pains cannot be
taken in printing a newspaper, to have it
free from blurs and especially to have
good, clear print. A good morning paper
is one of the luxuries of a Hamilton home.

Chaui.eston, September 6. -A reports
madaacnreftil detour of ilio eitv. visiting
all the principal streets end the'suburban
places, and was surprised to find so much
wrecked property which has escaped the
eyesot the local and transient press repre
sentatives. it is useless to try and recapitu
iate the Josses in a city of over sixty-two
thousand inhabitants, whore thelbuildings
Which are not damaged are the exception,
A„ least (our out of live of the buildings are
damaged more or less. Nearly nil the
chimneys are down. The plastering is
oii everywhere, and serious external and
internal injuries are sustained by brick
and stone structures, City Assessor
William A. Kelly says that the loss
will readily reach $10,000,00;). -x’jie taxable
real property aggregates a basis of $22,-
000,000. Then there is lion-assessable
property, churches, schools, charitable in
stitutions, etc., aggregating $10,000,000.
Kelly prepared on the 01st of August last,
the day before the night of the first earth
quake shock, a list of permits issued dur
ing the month of August for the erection
of new buildings in Charleston and for the
improvement of old building's. The state
ment showes that during the month six
teen building permits were issued for work
aggregating $23,900, and twelve permits
for improvements, amounting to $4550; the
whole a total of $28,460. From January 1
to August 81 of this year the amount put
into ^building in Charlestoji aggregated
Mr. Kelly says: “These figures show the
minimum — that their improvements
amount to more than the sums stated—as
those asking for permits represent the
sums invested as low as possible, so as to
avoid taxes for the full amount. The fol
lowing permits were issued during the past
year for the erection of build
ings and old builnings im
proved: 222 new buildings, reported cost,
$251,000; old buildings improved, reported
cost, $121,176. Total, 380 permits, reported
cost, $372,174. This statement does not in-
elude the cost of repairs made necessary
by the cyclone in August of last year. t It
was estimated at that time that the dam
age sustained by the wharves, public
buildings, private residences and other
property amounted to over $100,000. At
least $600,000 was expended for the repair
of such damages, whicli will make the
amount expended for new buildings and
improvements last year exceed $872,000.”
REAL ESTATE SALES.
The record of the sales of real estate
shows an advance over assessments in
every ward of the city. Four hundred
and fifty-eight pieces assessed for $744,773,
during the year were sold for $1,001,783, an
increase over the assessment of $257,010,
equal to 3} per cent. Of this number 430
pieces sold above assessments and 28 pieces
below assessments. As the greater por
tion of the property destroyed was in
herited by old families who have no sur
plus means, it is believed that only a por
tion will be rebuilt.
THE SCIENTISTS
here say that the earthquake was undoubt
edly the result of an adjustment of the
crust of the earth to conform to its base.
They do not believe the disturbance in this
regard had any connection with that in
Europe. Prof. Mendenhall, who has made
a study of earthquakes iu Japan, gives it
as his opinion that there will be more or
less disturbances here for several days, and
thinks they may possibly be so strong that
buildings will be thrown down, and that
it will be inadvisable to occupy shaky
houses for a few days.
It was reported this evening that four
persons had been killed by ialling build
ings, but investigation repudiates the ru
mors. Up to this writing a carefully re
vised list of the dead from the earthquake
makes the aggregate of forty-seven,
The Southern Express company announ
ces that it will forward free of charge con
tributions to the sufferers here.
EARTH QUAKIANA.
There have been many births sincE the
first shock. No less than ten are already
reported. This morning a lady was taken
to Washington Square in the agohies of
motherhood, and soon thereafter she was
the mother of smiling twins, she resting
easy, although a hundred people witnessed
it. Yesterday it' was but little talked of
that a baby was born there in the morn
ing in the presence of a hundred persons.
These are earthquake times, and social
delicacies are not over strictly observed,
although the utmost respect and deference
is shown in every instance.

BLACK LEPROSY OR LUPUS.
Heller knimn an lllat'K Wolf.
From the Ho .ton Herald, August 36, 1686.
This disease is considered by physicians
to bo incurable. In fact, there is no case
on record of a cure until within a few
months past, A reporter learning of the
affliction, suffering, mid final recovery of
Mrs. C. A. Bailey, of Somerville, near Bos
ton, called on her husband at No. 17;
Bluclcstone street, Boston, and heard his
report of the case, which is, to say the
least of it, simply wonderful. Twelve
years ago Mrs. Bailey, whose home is on
Moore street, Weal Somerville, was at
tacked by a hideous black eruption which
rapidly extended from foot to lower limb
mid thence to the thighs, back, neck, face
and head, until her whole body was ono I
mass of living, dying putrefaction. To
breathe the foul exhalations of this living
corpse wai terrible; yet with heroic devo
tion her husband and relatives never re
linquished their posts or abated one iota
tlie fond faithfulness of their trust. This
mysterious foe crept so swiftly on as to
strike terror into all those loving hearts;
yet not one of all the eminent physicians
who were summoned could check its fatal
progress, or even diagnose the disease
sufficiently to give it a mime. Even while
its terrible power was m inion lodged, these
men of medicine were as powerless as chil
dren to arrest its ravages. An eminent
physician, of Somerville, at first pro
nounced it an abscess and prescribed bis
muth, hut after six months acknowledged
his skill completely baffled. A noted
physician of Quincy, after a whole year of
faithful, patient cure, dur.-ig which time
great 'masses of dead flesh sloughed off
limbs and body at the slightest movement,
abandoned me case as Hopeless and inex
plicable. Tlie most learned physician ill
that gentleman in tlio senate, inquiry was
made by Senator Kennii, of West Virginia,
and by his eolleogue, Senator Camden, a
member of tlie pension committee, as to
whether that report wns a report to the
committee oil pensions. This inquiry dis
closed tlie startling fact that not a single
member of the committee had been pres
ent when tlie report was adopted except
one besides the chairman, Senator Blair,
and that no other members of the com
mittee had so much ns read the report
which Senator Biair was attempting to
make, in which he discussed the action of
the executive touching twenty or more
pension cases.
Th" supplement contains all t lie evidence
to substantiate the charges that the office
under the republicans hud been run for
political purposes. It is what General
Black wanted to place before the senate
investigating committee, which he was
not allowed to do. The committee will
to-morrow commence the circulation of
the supplement. The campaign book
proper will be out the first, of next week.

Lost Sunday, while nt Mr. T. F. Hud
son's, th" great hay and carp man, who is
perhaps hotter known than any farmer in
the state, we noticed that his son, DoWitt,
seemed to he skinning off at the hands.
Mr. II. called the little follow to him and
showed us how the skin,even on the palms
of his hands, was coming off in flukes and
a new skin appearing underneath. He
explained that several years ago the child
was badly poisoned with poison oak, and
every spring ho broke out and suffered
greatly. He had applied every known
remedy to relieve the sufferer, and em
ployed physicians to attend him, but with
no a, ail. “In fact.” Mr. Hudson con
tinued, “it seemed like to go in sight of a

Watbrville. Me., September 6.—Sena
tor Frye spoke here and took back all be
may have said ■ concerning Mr. Blaine’s
coat-tails and the military spot that at
Houlton two weeks ago he thought he had
discovered on that portion of the Plumed
Knight’s attire. He announced that he
had been up in the northeastern part df
the state, where the papers did not go to
him, and was very much taken aback to
learn of the universal interest with which
his Houlton speech had been 1 reoeivfed.
The language ptlt , into his mouth on
that occasion Was a misreport, and
he was indignant in his denial of ever hav
ing used the words attributed to him. He
had spoken no word concerning Mr.
Blaine except in eulogy, and he thought
he might even have been extravagant in
the praise he had bestowed on him. He
compared Blaine in his public career in
America with Gladstone in Eugiand. Once
more he reiterated his denial that he had
said anything concerning Mr. Blaine that
could, without distortion, be used against
him. He had only introduced his name
for the purpose of saying pleasant things
concerning him, and any other interpreta
tion of his remarks should not count. As
an evidence that what had been reported
as his remarks could not have been his
language, he stated, that his speech lasted
for two hours and a half and the original
published report only made a newspaper
column. , .
After Frye’s speech the band that had
attended his meeting paraded to the Elm
wood House, to which Blaine had just re
turned after making his speech at Skow-
liegan in the afternoon. There was a
serenade and Blaine stepped out on the
veranda and made a few remarks to the
crowd that had followed the band. He
thanked them as his former constituents,
and incidentally remarked that their offi
cial relations were now severed, for he was
simply a private citizen. When the baud
had gone away Senator Frye came to the
hotel, aud he and Blaine hail a conference.
Early in the morning Blaine goes up to
Unity, where he speaks to-morrow after
noon,
All authorities agree that the milk of a

the idea that she must take some pennies

for candy, papa,’ she exclaimed; ‘they
must all be saved for the Sunday school.’
‘And what do they do with the pennies at
Sunday school?’ *Oh, they send them up
to God.’ ‘And what does God do with
them?’ ‘Oh.’ she said, after a moment’s
hesitation, ‘He throws them down again
