Death of Capt. John T. Stovall.
We received the following dispatch
last night, announcing the death of
Capt. John T. Stovall, who was injured
in the tornado which passed his resi
dence, near Thomson, Ga., Saturday:
Thomson, Ga., March 23, 1875.
To the Constitutionalist:
Capt. John T. Stovall died at 8:30
o’clock. J. E. B.
This is among the saddest results
of the tornado. Capt. Stovall was not
at first thought to bo so seriously in
jured as to cause fears of his death,
and the news received is a surprise to
us and to his many friends, not only
in Thomson but in Augusta also.

Meeting of Cavalry Veterans.
A meeting of the veteran members of
Hampton’s old Cavalry Brigade, and
all others who served in the cavalry of
the Confederate army, now residing in
this city, will be held at 7:30 o’clock
this evening, at the office of Messrs.
John M. Clark & Cos., on Broad street.
The purpose of the meeting Is to form
a local organization of a social charac
ter, for the mutual benefit of all who
become members. It is desired that
there shall be a full attendance.

The stock of cotton in Augusta yes
terday was 11,723 bales. An actual
count was made.
A regular Can Can Troupe, compos
ed entirely of women, is expected to
visit Augusta on the 31st of March and
Ist of April. A reporter expects to go to
see who is there.
We learn that a firm in the “cotton
quarter,” yesterday ‘morning, sent to,
Thomson a large amount of provisions,
with many necessary articles, for the
sufferers in the track of the tornado.
Wo learn that the connection of Mr.
J. S. Bean, Jr., with the Planters Loan
and Savings Bank as Cashier, ceased
yesterday. Mr. J. T. Newbery will
take charge of the position vacated by
Mr. Bean.
The cotton market yesterday was
quiet and unchanged ; middling being
15%. The receipts were 202 and sales,
313 bales.
Yesterday morning a cow poked her
head in a potato barrel, in front of Mr.
N. Kahrs’ etore, corner of Greene and
Elbert streets, in search for someth
ing to eat. In endeavoring to draw
out of it, her horns were caught, and
off she started with the barrell flying
up and down and butting against trees,
creating great merriment among the
spectators. Eventually the barrell
ropped from the cow’s head, and she
joyfully went her way.
The Governor of Georgia has ap
pointed Dr. James F. Bozeman, of
Atlanta, to assist Treasurer Jones. The
Doctor is said to be eminently qualified
for the position and he is also “ en
tirely satisfactory” to Mr. Jones.
The Macon Telegraph, writing about
the cyclone and its ravage, says :
“We have often remarked how nature
seems to sympathise with the human
temper of the times. We have violent
and angry government and we are
likely to get a corresponding amount
of violence in the elements.”
According to Swedenborg, there is
an intense sympathy of the kind allud
ed to above. In the Bible, the Enemy
of Mankind is distinctly referred to as
the Prince of the Powers of the Air.
It may be that the cyclone which re
cently visited this section is a portion
of “ hell broke loose.”

RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERERS.
Meeting of the Augusta Exchange—
A Generous Response—A Quick
Shipment of Provisions.
A general feeling of sympathy for
the sufferers from the tornado of last
Saturday is exhibited in this city, and
a desire manifested to inaugurate ac
tive measures for their immediate re
lief.
A MEETING HELD.
Yesterday morning it was desired to
hold a meeting of the Augusta Ex
change at noon, to which all citizens
should be invited, and in accordance
with that determination the following
notice was issued:
A meeting of the members of the
Augusta Exchange will be held this
day, at 12 m., to devise some plan by
which relief can be extended to those
who have suffered by the recent torna
do. Citizens generally are invited to
attend.
By order of the President.
Roswell King,
Secretary.
Soon after the appointed hour a
number of citizens and members as
sembled at the Hall of the Exchange,
corner of Reynolds and Jackson
streets. The meeting was called to
order by George R. Sibley, Esq., Presi
dent of the Exchange.
Mr. Sibley stated that the details of
the recent tornado which had devasted
a section of country tributary to Au
gusta, the inhabitants of which were
allied to us, not alone by the closest
ties of business, but in many cases
were our own kin, our blood relations,
and it was not only proper but an im
perative duty on our part to help them
in this their hour of distress, to the
fullest extent of our ability. We had
been providentially spared, and we
should now assist our fellow-men. The
distress was great and urgent, and im
mediate lelief was needed.
Mr. W. H. Howard said two gentle
men, Messrs. Davenport Jackson and
J. P. Verdery, were present who had
just come from the scenes near Thom
son and could speak of what they saw.
Mr. Jackson said himself and Mr.
Verdery had been at Appling. The
newspaper accounts relating to Mc-
Duffie county and vicinity were gener
ally correct. They knew of many fami
lies in distress. While the town of Ap
pling was not actually destroyed, yet
there were a number of houses destroy
ed and many casualties had occurred.
In the house where they stopped there
was a corpse and several persons who
were hurt. These with others were de
pendent on the generosity of the neigh
bors, who had suffered for the neces
saries of life.
Col. L. Zulavsky moved that a com
mittee of two gentlemen from each
ward be appointed to solicit subscrip
tions of money, clothing and other
articles, to be forwarded at once to the
several devastated sections of country.
Mr. W. H. Howard, in seconding the
motion, said that he would suggest
three points for distribution of funds.
Mcßean, Thomson and Appling, and
suggested that the proper parties to
take charge of the funds would be Col.
A. C. Walker, at Mcßean, John E. Ben
ton, Thomson and D. C. Moore, Ordi
nary of Columbia county at Appling,
and also at Camak there should be
supplies sent, and Mr. Hubert was sug
gested as the person to receive them.
Mr. J. R. Randall offered an amend
ment that the Pastors of the different
churches be requested to take up col
lections for this object in their chur
ches on Sunday next, thus even the
smallest amount would be accepted.
In the quietude of the Sabbath the
cares of every day life will not inter
fere, and the people could have time
to think over the matter. At the
churches many people, not able to put
down their names on the list in propor
tionate amounts to others would give
their mite, which would largely swell
the total amount. Many a one would
put in 10,15, 25 cents or more in this
manner when otherwise they would
give nothing rather than put down a
small amount on the subscription list.
Mr. J. H. Miller remarked that the
collections in several churches—espe
cially the Protestant Episcopal and Ro
man Catholic churches—on next Sun
day, which is Easter Sunday, would be
exclusively for the Bishops, hence it
would be be best to request the Pas
tors of these or other churches to take
up collections for the object under con
sideration on any succeeding Sunday
when the contributions were not to be
devoted to a special purpose.
After suggestions by various gentle
men the following resolutions were
adopted separately by a unanimous
vote:
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That a committee of two
from each ward be appointed who
shall solicit contributions in behalf of
the sufferers from the late tornado.
Resolved further, That the various
Pastors of our city churches be re
quested to take up collections next
Sabbath, or such early Sabbath as
may be practicable, the proceeds of
which shall be devoted to the same ob
ject.
Resolved further, That a committee
consisting of Messrs. George R. Sibley,
W. F. Herring and Wm. H. Howard be
appointed to receive the proceeds thus
collected and distribute or have them
distributed in such needy localities as
may to them seem proper.
Col. Zulavsky offered a resolution
that a subscription list be placed at the
Exchange, and all amounts collected
be properly forwarded. Adopted.
THE SUBSCRIPTION COMMITTEE.
The Chairman announced the follow
ing as the committees from the several
wards, to solicit subscriptions :
First Ward—John U. Meyer and Wm.
H. Barrett.
Second Ward—John M. Clark and
E. P. Clayton.
Third Ward —Jas. T. Gardiner and
John J. Cohen.
Fourth Ward—M. A. Stovall and P.
Walsh.
Upon a motion to adjourn being
made, Mr. J. J. Pearce said the next
business was that of subscribing. His
idea was that a list was to be placed in
the Exchauge hall, and all present were
to subscribe at once. He was informed
that the list was being prepared.
The list was placed on the table and
gentlemen came forward at once
and placed their names on it, subscrib
ing very liberally—the total amount
obtained in a very few minutes being
$565.
•The meeting afterward, on motion,
adjourned.
The following is the list at the Ex
change of
SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THE RELIEF OF SUF
FERERS BY THE LATE TORNADO :
H. E. Russell, $25; Adam Moffat &
Cos., $25; Claghorn, Herring & Cos., $100;

The provisions and other articles
were sent to their respective destina
tions, without charge for treight, by
Col. S. K. Johnson, Superintendent of
the Georgia Railroad, and Mr. J. B.
Preston, Agent of the Central Railroad.
LETTERS WERE ALSO MAILED,
notifying them of the shipment of the
articles. The following is a copy of
the letters sent:
Augusta, Ga., March 23, 1875.
John E. Benton, Esq., Thomson :
Dear Sir : At a meeting of citizens
of Augusta at the Augusta Exchange
to-day, the undersigned were appoint
ed a committee to take charge of col
lections and contributions, and dis
tribute same so as to relieve as much
as possible the suffererers by the tor
nados of Saturday last. In accordance
with which we have this day shipped
to you the following articles: 20
bushels of meal; 20% sacks of flour ;
500 lbs. dry salt sides and 2 kegs of
nails, which you will please distribute
so as to relieve the largest amount of
human suffering occasioned by the
tornado as in your judgment be best.
The committee would be pleased to
have your acknowledgement of the
goods and also any suggestions as to
the necessity of further relief and the
kind of relief most needed.
Yours respectfully,
Geo. R. Sibley, Chairman.
W. F. Herring,
W. H. Howard. Committee.
THE WARD COMMITTEES
will generally commence in good earn
est to-day, their duties of soliciting
subscriptions for the sufferers.
In the distribution of the proceeds,
a portion will go to the sufferers from
the tornado in Edgefield county, S. C.,
in the section contiguous to Augusta.
We are sure the committees will
meet with a hearty response from every
one. The smallest sum will be accept
able, and especially provisions, cloth
ing, bedding and goods of every char
acter which may be considered as
needed by the sufferers in their present
extremity. In connection with this
the Receiving Committee have re
quested us to publish the following
APPEAL TO THE CHARITABLE:
The committee are advised that
there is scarcely an article used in a
family household, in which the people
living in the territory devastated by
the tornado or cyclone of Saturday last,
do not stand in most urgent need.
They invite the people of Augusta
and vicinity to contribute provisions,
goods, clothing, bedding, furniture,
cooking utensils, &c., whether old or
new, as such articles will be very ac
ceptable to our unfortunate neighbors.
Such articles sent or left at the office
of John M. Clark & Sons, on Broad
street, or at the warehouse of W. H.
Howard & Sons, on Reynolds street,
will be taken in charge by the commit
tee, and distributed as judiciously as
the urgency of the case will admit.

Committee.
NEEDING RELIEF.
There are eight counties in Georgia
and three in South Carolina which are
devasted by the tornado and now need
relief. The list of killed and persons
injured is being almost each day added
to and is now becoming appalling. A
storm of equal proportions in Georgia,
cannot be remembered by the oldest
inhabitants. Local storms, which were
more severe in single localities, are
mentioned as being more severe in
their effects, but a storm so general in
its devastation has not been known to
occur during the present century in
this State,
The tornado passed into North Car
olina, where it probably took an up
ward turn and made its dying throes
high in the air. It is sickening to con
sider the details as they have been
brought in by telegraph and mail to
the cities which escaped. The strang
est thing regarding the storm is that
not a single large city in this section
was struck or suffered injury from it.
One-Third Actually Saved.—Eco
nomical housekeepers should know
that Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Pow
der is a perfect powder, and as such is
very light, *and that those powders
which weigh heavy are made so by
ponderous adulterants. As baking
powders are used by measure, tea
spoonfuls, and not by weight, the
heavier ones being less effective are
more expensive.
Dr. Price’s cans are the same size,
bold the same number of teaspoonfuls
as others, and as two teaspoonfuls are
only needed when three of the others
are required, it will be perceived that
there is in its use an actual saving of
one-third ; that two cans of Dr. Price’s
go as far as three cans of the common
kinds. Dr. Price’s Powder is not sold
in bulk.it can only be found pure when
bought in cans securely labelled.

THE GREAT TORNADO.
Further Details—The Worst That
Ever Visited the State—Particulars
from Other Sections.
The great tornado oi Saturday seems
to have taken a oourse across the
State, and, passing through South
Carolina, entered North Carolina, but
its main force appears to have been
spent in Georgia, its whole track being
marked by its ravages. We continue
to receive accounts of its progress
through this State, as our exchanges
from and ifferent sections and letters
come to hand.
Harris county, above Muscogee
county, on the border of Alabama, was
visited Saturday just before noon.
The storm then proceeded on through
Georgia.
The Macon Telegraph and Messenger
says the march of the tornado was
west from Harris county, across Tal
bot, Upson, Monroe, Jones, Baldwin,
Hancock, Glascock, McDuffie and Co
lumbia, touching Richmond also, and
passing into Carolina.
[Special to the Atlanta Herald.
The Storm Around Columbus.
Columbus, Ga., March 22,1875.
Storms occurred Saturday between
11 and 12 o’clock. There appeared to
be four whirlwinds, or tornadoes, one
near Whiteville, in Harris county ;
another from Harris county into Meri
wether ; another near Hamilton, and
another from Harris through Talbot.
The two first created immense havoc to
property, but no lives were lost; the
one near Hamilton killed three chil
dren of H. W. Pitts, and badly
wounded two others, one having
both legs, both arms and a thigh broken,
and injured Pitts and his wife. The
latter is bereft of reason from
grief. Every house in its course,
for twenty miles in length and half a
mile in with, was levelled, trees blown
down and carried hundreds of feet,
and fences scattered everywhere ; fur
niture, clothing, stock, etc., all gone,
and the people suffering on account of
of the destruction of food. The fourth
was most destructive, for twenty miles
in length and half a mile in width, its
path is marked by ruin and devasta
tion. The little village of Mount Airy,
in Harris county, was totally destroy
ed, not a house standing. The wife
and five children —four grown, three
of which were young ladies—of Capt.
J. H. Kennon were killed and their
bodies blown from fifty to one hundred
yards, and Capt. Kennon was hurt in
the shoulder. Two of his sons were
saved, being absent from home. Mr.
Hunt was injured in the spine, Wm.
McGhee had two ribs broken, and
goods and clothing scattered all
around; Maj. John H. Walton escaped
narrowly, his residence being demol
ished; teacher Clark and wife are mor
tally wounded, and their child had an
arm fractured; Rev. J. B. McGhee had
his jaw broken and was injured inter
nally: his daughter and son injured;
Tom Neal was hurt and his house ut
terly blown away.
Baughville, Talbot county, was com
pletely demolished. Elisha Culpepper
was killed, his wife and daughter-in
law were seriously wounded, and Mrs.
Burdell had both legs broken. Among
others badly hurt are Mrs. Miller B.
Phillips, Mrs. Bradshaw and son, a
daughter of Prof. Claplain, and a son
of Capt. C. Calhoun, in all 10 whites
and 16 negroes killed and five churches
demolished, six stores and four school
houses destroyed. Total loss, over
SIOO,OOO.
Columbus has voted $4,000 to the
sufferers. Hamilton and Talbotton es
caped by a mile and a half. Direction
of the storm was northeast.
A gentleman came in on the South
western train this morning for six cof
fins for one family—that of Capt. John
Kennon—his wife, three daughtars and
two sons.
TALBOT COUNTY.
We make the following extracts from
a letter to the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger, from Talbotton, Ga., dated
21st inst.:
Yesterday we escaped one of the
most awful cyclones that ever passed
through Georgia. It seems to have
commenced on the east side of the
mountain, this side of Hamilton, Har
ris county, and passed Mount Airy
and Baughsville, Talbot sounty. At
the first named place twelve or fifteen
persons were killed and a good many
wounded. John Todd, wife and five
children were killed; Dr. Peters and
other members of his family were se
riously injured ; Mr. E. Brannon lost
some of his family, and others hurt;
Chariie Hunt, merchant at Mount
Airy, had his back broken and his
store-house and goods swept away;
Mr. Pitts lost three children,
As the storm came nearer this place
it became more furious. Mr. W. J.
Raine’s dining room was blown down,
and a little daughter was badly hurt.
Elisha Culpepper was killed, and his
wife and daughter badly hurt; a young
man by the name of Crawford was
killed; A. B. O’Neal’s houses were all
blown away; J. B. Gorman’s mill and
gin are all gone; J. H. Walton had his
houses all unroofed, but none of his
family were hurt; J. A. Clements had
his house blown doun, and all the fam
ily in it were covered with timber, but
no one was hurt; B. Trussel’s houses
were all blown down, and their furni
ture and clothing were all blo.vn away.
There seems to have been two cy
clones—one in the northwest part of
the county and the other in the middle
part.
A number of casualities occurred in
Harris county and in Monroe county.
The Advertiser says the storm was fear
ful, and gives a long list of the houses
blown down, persons injured and ac
cidents generally.
Jones county was crossed, but full
information has not been received yet.
AT MILLEDGEVILLE
and in Baldwin county, the damage was
immense. The storm swept across the
Southern limit of the city from West to
East, prostrating everything before it.
At Milledgiville Mr. Thomas Johnson
was severely hurt and Mrs. Johnson
killed. Several colored persons were
also killed.
Wo clip the following from the Tele
graph and Messenger’s Milledgeville cor
'respondence :
The loss of property is immense. In
Midway, the metalic roof of Mr. Daniel
Tucker was stripped off the building,
and his neighbors, Messis. Thomas
Latimer and R. N. Lamar lost by the
destruction of tbeir carriage-house, a
fine carriage, a bugy and proporty val
ued at fully SI,OOO.
To the westward on the path of its
approach, and to the eastward whither
it went, the tornado swept forward rc
sistlessly in a path of ruin, destroying
life and property of which no compu
tation can even yet be made. To illus
trate the force of the wind, we may
mention that a shingle is driven, sharp
end foremost, several inches into the
body of a small oak tree it happened
to strike directly.
To the west of us, some miles, a
lifeless negro woman was found lodgod
in the branches of a lofty tree not ex
actly in the hurricane’s path; and a
f child of the same race was blown away
and has not been found at all. Dick
. Gonder, already mentioned, was killed
i by having the upper half of his head
!cut off smooth by a plank driven with
the wind, and the missing top of his
head has not been found. The hand
some gothic cottage recently purchas
ed by Mr. Edward Lane, was utterly
demolished and blowi away.
The victims in our city were buried
yesterday afternoon. Of the ravages
further east of us, at Camak and be
yond, we presume you have informa
tion more ample than ours.
IN HANCOCK COUNTY.
There were sixteen houses on Mr.
Massey’s place, near Sparta, and of
them all there is not one piece of tim
ber left upon another. His residence
was built of hewn logs, weatherboarded
outside and ceiled on the inside. Some
of these logs were blown to a distance
of a mile and a half, and shingles from
the roof were blown to the distance of
several miles.
When he sao the storm coming Mr.
Massey made a frantic effort to save
his wife and child. He ran into the
house, and seizing them, attempted to
get them out of doors; but before he
reached the door the walls were crush
ed in. He thrust them toward the
door, and was himself caught in the
timbers.
When the storm had passed he dis
covered his wife lying near him with
her brain crushed out. His child, an
only one, about two years old, he found
in the garden, with a fearful hole torn
in its side. It was dead. Miss Sallie
Berry had been blown into the top of
a pine tree, which had fallen near by.
Her legs were broken in seven places
and she was otherwise awfully man
gled. She lived four hours. A negro
man on the place ran to the nearest
house for help, and when neighbors ar
rived they found Mr. Massey, who was
badly hurt, sitting beside his dead
wife, with his dead child in his arms
and the dying girl lying near him. No
words can describe the horror of the
spectacle. A negro woman on this
place had her knee broken, and her
right arm is so badly hurt that
amputation will be necessary.
A field in which the wheat was six
inches high, and a broom-sedge field,
were cleaned as bare as if they had
been burned and the ashes swept off.
A covey of partridges was found dead
near the house, two dead rabbits were
found in the yard, and all the chickens,
rats and cats on the place were also
killed. The skirts of Mr. Massey’s
coat were blown off, and his shoes and
socks were blown from his feet, and
have not yet been found. The injuries
to his person are very severe. A
considerable amount of money which
he had in the house was blown away,
so was all his silver, in fact everything,
even down to his clothing. He had to
borrow clothing from his neighbors. A
common butt hinge was buried to the
joint in a tree, and still remains firmly
fixed there. Small rock were blown
with such violence that they were im
bedded in trees and are still to be seen
there.
The places of Mr. Thomas Little and
Mr. Carper were sadly torn to pieces,
and a number of negroes wounded.
AT CAMAK.
At Camak, on the Georgia Railroad,
the depot and offices, two stores, one
large hotel, one large guano house,
four dwelling houses, saw mill, gin
house and ten or fifteen smaller houses
were literally torn to pieces. In the
hotel were Mrs. Wright and her five
daughters, with two sons, and all were
injured. Mrs. Wright had two ribs
broken. All were taken from under
the fallen timbers. Some ten or fif
teen other whites were in j ared. Three
negroes were in a little house which
was torn to pieces. Two will die, the
other may recover.
The dwelling of Mr. Frank Norman,
and store of Mays & Bro., are the only
houses standing except a church, which
is almost in a falling condition. Three
mules in the lot of Mr. Mays were killed |
and a large horse was picked up from
the ground and thrown seventy-five
yards into the middle of the railroad
track, and killed instantly. Six loaded
cars were turned over while standing
on a side track.

PRACTICAL’AN DjAGRICULTU RALCHEMIST .
HOLD BY
EDWARD BARRY & CO.,
288 Broad Street, Augusta, Oa.
THE EVIDENCE presented In the statements of the respectable and Intelligent plant
ers of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any in the
marketthat being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid,
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. Wo refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our G. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
