FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 27, 1883.
r ■- ■
EDITORIAL convention.
We learn from the Savannah
Morning News that this august bo
dy will meet in Athens on Wednes
day, the 9th of May, We hope
there will be a large attendance on
that occasion. During the late gu
bernatorial canvass some of our
esteea.ed brethren of the pen and
scissors, iudnlged in a few spirited
and incisive tilts, but the final ac
tion of the nominating convention
was so satisfactory to nearly every
body, that now that tlio contest ia (
over, we trust nothing but the most
cordial and fraternal feeling will
pervade the Georgia Press Asso
ciation. Indeed, one of the lead
ing objects of its organization, as
the writer happens to know, was
to promote peace and good will
among the votaries of the “mystic
art. Let any misunderstandings
and unpleasantness which may
have existed in tile past be forgiv
en and forgotten, and all unite with
heart and hand to build up and
foster the important interests of
our great State. We trust these
suggestions, coining from an old
and honorary member of the asso
ciation, will be pardoned.
THE ANNUAL CONVENTION
Of the Georgia State Sunday
School Convention, wo are reques
ted to say will meet in Augusta on
next Wednesday and continue in
session for three days. We are in
debted to the Secretary for a hand
somely printed programme of its
daily meetings. Tho attendance
promises to he very large, and its
proceedings will he quite interest
ing, we douht not, and its labors
followed by happy results.
TilIC K.YCE LINK,
Rev. Dr. Tucker, in tlie Christian
Index well Ki\\fj tlmt the race line
was not laid down by men, but by
the Almighty; and human attempts
to wipe it out have led to trouble,
as might have been known before
hand. What we should do now is.
1. To recognize the race line as an
established fact. 2. To protect the
weaker race and do what wo can to
promote its well being. Our mot
to is this-: Separate races, with
friendly relations. This will be ne
acceptablo to both parties, the re
verse to neither.
This is certainly a most admira
ble and concise platform, upon
which all kindreds and races under
heaven should gladly stand and “re
joice in the hope of the glory of
bod,’’ and labor for the greatest
possible good to all. This is cer
tainly in hnrniony with the spirit
and mission of the Divine Master.

—Mr. Stephens, says the Augus
ta Chronicle, was not a man ordi
narily to admit that any political
problem was too tough for his so
lution, but ho had to confess that
the Negro Question was beyond
his ken or demonstration. It is
growing more and more exasperat
ing but will probably, in the dim
future, solve itself in some unex
pected way.

—Professor Gilliam shows;in an I
article published in the Popular,
Science Monthly, that the present
rate of increase in Southern negroes j
will number 12,000,000 in the year
1900, and in 1980 will number 182,-
000,000, while the white popula
tion of the country will be 336 000,-
000. As the negroes increase at
the rate of thirty-five per cent, ev- 1
<ety ten years, and the whites in
crease twenty per cent, during the
same period, it would appear from
the figures that unless there is
greater fecundity in the white race
than at present, the negro will, in
the eouiso of a couple of centuries,
become the boss of the continent.
The census has certainly demon
strated that the negro is “dying
off.” Unless the whites can turn
out more children they are certain
ly to bo overwhelmed in numbers
by the blacks.
Mr. Grady in the Atlanta Con
stitution says : “I have been in pol
itics pretty much all my life, but
do not remember a man who made
as many friends in so short a cam
paign as Governor Boynton. He
had never made a state race, and
had no organization and little ac
quaintance outside of his neighbor
hood. But liis following represen
ted every section and was hue qual
ity and temper. His caucuses were
large and enthusiastic and he did
not lose a friend first to lust. His
conduct throughout the campaign
was admirable—courageous, pa
triotic and able. The publication
of the Bullock letters had a tempo
rary ('fleet, but he came out of his
fight for Governorship much stron

THE RECENT CYCLONE,
AND THE AWFUL DESTRUC
TION IT DID.
HOUSES BLOWN DOWN, CHURCHES FALL,
TUFFS AHE UPROOTED —A TERRIBLE
DISH OF LIFE AND PROPERTY—THE
PARTICULARS OF THE STORM.
Details of the fearful cyclones
which passed over Georgia and
other states on last Sunday and
Monday, are slowly coming in.—
From the daily press we gather
some startling particulars which
we give below to the exclusion of
other matter. Altogether, in ex
tent and destructiveness, this storm
"Is probably the most frightful that
lias ever visited this continent.—
When it reached Georgia, the main
cyclone seemed to have given birth
to several others almost as des
tructive as itself; one striking
Middle Georgia ; another passing
| over Northeast Georgia, and an
other still, with terrific results,
i sweeping over an and
; Southeast Georgia.
One cyclone struck .Sumtercoun
ty, two miles below Dottsfort, and
: went out near Oglethorpe, leaving
a track of perhaps three-quarters
of a mile in width. The cabins on
Justice M. G. Logan's place were
blown down. A correspondent says:
“The Faust plantation was laid in
ruins, and Mr. Faust killed by the
falling timbers of his house, though
whether it was Mr. Dan Faust or
his aged father 1 ctnnot learn.
Mrs. Thomas Carrum, formerly a
Miss Faust, was killed at tlie next
place. I have no definite account
of the storm track for the next three
miles, tint it struck the Anslev plan
tation six miles from town and de
molished the houses and fences and
killed Mr. Asa Ansley, an aged
minister. Blowing down all the
timber, fences and houses in its
course, it next struck the place of
William Page, and did $2,000 dam
ages, also killing a negro whose
name ] could not learu. Coining
on in its course it struck with full
force and fury the plantation of Mr.
W. W. Poole, five mile below Aiuer
icus, and blew away a handsome
residence and umnerour outhouses
! and all the fencing. Mr. Poole had
ja beautiful and valuable house, and
j his loss is heavy.
The next victim was IJ. S. Lock
ett, and hero the scene beggars de
j scription. His beautiful home is
not only in ruins, but blown to
j atoms, several fine mules killed,
j several head of cattle Killed, and
e very member of It is family more
or less injured. One little daugh
ter had the scalp entirely torn from
| her head, another had a limb bro
ken, and Mrs. Lockett, sustained
several injuries. To look at. the de
bris it seems impossible that any of
the family could have escaped.
But had as this is it was infinitely
worse at the next place, where Mr.
W. T. Woodruff, his wife and two
small children, together with a ser
vant girl, were killed outright by
the fall of the dwelling—a two
story frame house. Young Brown
Biu khalter, a grandson of Col. Jack
Brown, was the only survivor at
this place. Ho states that Mr.
Woodruff was sleeeping with him
in a small room and Airs. W., the
two children and the nurse in the
family room when the c\clone
struck the house. Mr W. rushed to
reseure his wife and babes, and at
that moment the crash came. Young
Bueklmlter was hurled through
space, and the family buried be
neath its ruins. Air. Woodruff’s
neck was broken while Airs. Woo l
ruff ami the two children were kill
ed by a brick chimney falling in.
The servant girl was killed by the
timbers of the house. The five
corpses lmd to be dug out of the
rnlus this morning. Air. Woodruff i
was about 2S years old and was n !
good citizen. Airs. W. was formerly j
Miss Nutt, of Buena Vista. Five
coffins have just passed my window
going out to the Woodruff' place. 1
The escape of young Bueklmlter,
who is only 14, is almost a mira
cle.
Tho Macon Telegraph contains;
the following special from Albany :
The cyclone’s course was south
west tt> northeast, striking so far as;
heard, the plantations of John Mat-!
thews and Win. Goodwin complete-;
lv demolishing all that was valua
ble on both. Mr. Goodwin saved
liittir, If and family by rushing into
a pit witli the children in his arms. 1
The tie\t place struck was that of
Mr. W. 0.) • aeon. Mr. Bacon him
self. one child and a negro were
killed, aud another child fatally in
jured, leaving only his wife. Ou
the Cniger place one negro was kill
ed ami eighteen wounded, some,
fatally. Jn east Dougherty, Dr.
Bacon dressed the wounds of twen
ty injured on Mr. F. F. Batuev's
place alone. Several were killed. I
Every lmuseixceptthodwelling was
destroyed. The course then con
tinued aud passed just below Isa
bella, completely destroying every
thing iti its path, trees, houses,
stock aud all.
About five miles from Eastman
it struck the farm of Mr. Horton,
and blew down all of his houses.
Three of his family were badly
wounded. Two negroes living a
short distance away were killed. It
crossed tho East Tennessee, Vir
ginia aud Georgia railroad, and lit
erally swept, the faun of Mr. John
Register killing his oldest danglt-
ter aud injuring the remainder of
the family. The homesteads of
Mrs. L. Rogers, E. B. Laslie, L.
Harrel and John Knowles were
struck in succession. Their resi
dences were completely demolish
ed, and a number of persons in
jured. but no lives lost.
In Oglethorpe county it did some ,
damage to property but no loss of
life is reported.
Eight mill-dams are reported |
swept away in the neighborhood of
Palmetto.
At Anderson's Mills, in Wilkes j
county, Mrs. Brooks, wife of the!
miller, was killed, and her little boy
had his leg broken
At Conyers ami in tho vicinity
many houses were unrooted and a
number of outhouses blown down.
No lives lost.
Washouts are reported between
Atlanta and McDonough, and the
damage is doubtless considerable
in many localities which have not
been heard from.
IN OTHER STATES.

! very fine portrait of Hon. Juo. P.
King, of Augusta, the oldest liv-
I iug ex-ITiit-d Slates Senator. The

[better than any portrait that has
j appeared heretofore. From an uc
jeompanving sketch we learn that
[Judge King was born in 17113 in
the month of April, in Barrow Cos.,
Kentucky. His family removed
te Georgia in 1815 and settled in
Columbia county, lie was elect
ed to the Senate to succeed Gov

elected, but resigned in 1837 and
was in turn succeeded by Wilson
