McDonough. Ga., March 10, 1893.
Terrible Cyclone.
The weather in this section last Fri
day night presented a very alarming
aspect, causing anything but feelings
of safety from the horrors of a cyclone,
to those who observed the elementary
movements.
Many were the predictions at the
time that we had barely escaped one of
these dread visitations, there being ev
ery evidence of its having passed near
by. Consequently, nearly everybody
was prepared for the terrible news
which swept over the country Saturday
morning.
The cyclone enteied Georgia on the
western boundary, passing about cen
terly through the State, carrying death
and destruction in its wake, and went
out into the Atlantic ocean just above
Savannah.
Meriwether and Dike counties seeps
to have been the severest sufferers.
It struck Greenville at half past 8
o’clock and completely devastated three
fourths of the town. The cyclone was
preceded by a brilliant electrical dis
play which aroused the fears of all. In
a few minutes the continuous lightning
flashes were succeeded by the ominous
roaring sound, and almost instantly the
storm swept over the ill-fated town on
its mission of destruction. In ten sec
onds the accumulations of years were
swept to the four winds of the earth.
Numbers of people were caught un
der the falling houses, but strange to
say only a few deaths resulted, out of
the numerous injuries.
The cyclone crossed the Georgia
Midland road at Molena and Wood
bury. At Molena Mrs. Felt, a widow,
and five others were killed, and six
deaths resulted at Woodbury.
‘One of the most completely scourged
places was Piedmont, about the center
of Pike county. It was a prosperous
little village on the A. and F. rail
road, but after the cyclone cleared away
ouly three houses were left standing,
while fifteen were lying in ru'ns, with
hardly one piece of timber upon an
other, the destruction being complete.
Here again the escape from death was
miraculous. The ouly person killed
outright was a young lady, Miss Daisy
Hawkins, thirteen or fourteen being
seriously injured. •The dwelling of
Mr. I. C. Collier was injured but little,
while his store just in front was swept
away. Eleven persons were placed in
this dwelling, with almost every con
ceivable form or shape of injury.
So complete was the destruction that
it is stated there was not enough dry
cloth in Piedmont next morning to
bind the wounds of the suffering. Many
were left with ouly the clothes they
went to bed in the night before, where
everything was blown away and drench
ed in rain.
Latest reports from l’ike place the
entire death list in the county at twelve
killed outright, fifty receiving injuries
which will prove fatal, two hundred
wounded, 120 bouses blown down and
800 people left homeless.
The above is a mere outline, and the
details of waste and destruction in the
entire track are terrible.
Relief funds for the sufferers have
been gotten up as rapidly as possible
in all sections aud forwarded to the
proper authorities.
Mr. J. W. Alexauder circulated a
list in McDonough, and as usual our
citizens from town and country respon
ded liberally, the amouut raised being
$52.20, forwarded equally to Green
villa, Molena and Piedmont.

ennobling trait of American citizenship.
I lie lessons of paternalism ought to be
unlearned and the better lessuii taught
that while the people should particu
lafl y and cheerfully support their gov- j
eminent, its functions do not include
the support of the people.
The acceptance of this principle leads
to the refusal of bounties and subsidies,
which burden the labor and thrift of a
portion of our citizens to aid ill advised
or languishing enterprises in which
they have no concern. It leads, also,
to the challenge of wild and reckless
pension expenditures, which overlaps
the bounds of grateful recognition of
patriotic service, and prostitutes to vi
cious uses the people’s prompt and gen
erous impulse to aid those disabled in
their country’s defense. Every thought
ful American must realize the impor
tance of checking at its beginning any
tendency, iD public or private station,
to regard frugality and economy as
virtues which we may safely outgrow.
The toleration of this idea results in
the waste of the people’s money by
their chosen servants, and encourages
prodigality and extravagance in the
home life of our countrymen. Under
our scheme of government a waste of
public money is a crime against the cit
izens, and the contempt of our people
for economy and frugality in their per
sonal affairs, deplorably saps the
strength and sturdiness of our national
character.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
It is the plain dictate of honesty and
good government that public expendi
tures should be limited by public ne
cessity, and that this should be meas
used by the rules of stiict economy;
and it is equally clear that frugality
among the people is the best guaranty
of the contented and strong support of
free institutions. One mode of misap
propriated funds is avoided wheu ap
pointments to office instead of the re
wards of partizan activity, are awarded
to those whose efficiency promise a fair
return of work for the compensation
paid them. To secure fitness and compe
tency of appointees to office, and to re
move from political action demoraliz
ing madness for spot's, civil service re
form has found a place in our
public policy and laws. The benefits
already gained through the instrumen
tality and the further usefulness it
promises, entitle it to the hearty sup
port and encouragement of all who de
sire to see our public servtce well per
formed, or who hope for the elevation
of political sentiment and the purifica
tion of political methods.
MONOPOLIES AND COMPETITION.
'The existence of immense aggregre
gations of kindred enterprises and com
binations of business interests formed
for the purpose of limiting production
and fixing pi ices, is inconsistent with
the fair field which ought to be open
to every independent activity. Legiti
mate strife iu business should not be
suppressed by enforced concessions to
ihe demand of combinations that have
power to_ destroy, nor should the peo
plwtc be served lose the beuefit of the
cheayness which usually results from
wholesome competition. These aggre
gations and combinations frequently
constitute conspiracies against the in
terests of the people, and in all their
phases they are unnatural and opposed
to our American sense of fairness. To
the extent that they cau be reached
and restrained by the federal power,
the geueral government should relieve
oiy citizens from their interference and
exactions.
The loyalty to the principles upon
which government rests, positively de
mauds that equality before the law
which it guarantees to every citizen
should justly and in good faith be con
ceded iu all parts of the land. The en
joyment of this right follows the badge
of citizenship wherever found, and un
impaired by race or color, it appeals
for recognition to American manliness
and fairness.
REFORM OF THE TARIFF.
'I he people of the United States
have decreet! that on this day the con
trol of their government in its legisla
tive and executive hrauches shall be
given to the political party pledged in
the most positive terms to the accom
plishment of tariff retorm. They have
thus determined in favor of a more
just ami equitable system of federal
taxation. The agents they have chos
en to carry out their purposes are bound
by l heir promises, not less than by the
command of their masters to devote
themselves uureinittingly to this ser
vice. While there should be no sur
render of principle, our task must be
undertaken wisely aud without vindic
tiveness. Our mission is not punish
ment, but rectification of wrongs. Wheu
we tear aside delusions and misconcep
tions which have tiliuded our country
men to their condition under the vicious
tariff laws, we but show them how far
they have been led away from the paths
of prosjierity and contentment. When
we proclaim that the necessity fer a
rcveuue to support the government fur
uishes the only justification for taxing
the people, we ouly announce a plain
truth.
MI ST ACT TOGETHER.
Anxiety for the redemption of the
pledges which my party has made, and
solicitude for the complete justification
ot the trust the people have reposed in
us, constrain me to remind those with
whom I am to co-operate that we cau
succeed in doing the work which has
been set before us only by the most
sincere, harmonious and disinterested
effort. Kveu if insuperable ob
stacles and opposition prevent the con
summation of our task, we shall hardly
be excused, and if failure cau lie traced
to our fault or negligeuce, we may lie
sure the people will hold us to swift
and exacting accountability.
The oath 1 now take to preserve,
protect and defend the constitution of
the United States not ouly impresses
the great responsibility I now assume,
but suggests obedience to constitutional
command as the rule by w hich my of
ticial conduct must be guided. 1 shall
to the best of my ability and within my
sphere of duty preserve the constitu
tion by loyally protecting every grant
i of federal power it contains, by clefeud
