What His Experience in the Rattled Up
City Was.
The KHfthi|ii»kn—He Sun It With ||u Kyos. ||,.
Heard it With lllu Kiiruuinl n I’lere of It Seitrlv
I>rn|i|ieil on Him—Mr. II. I>. Htrattou'N Ursuhle
Latter to Mr. IVilllnm Cook.
Mr. Wm. Cook, of this city, has received
a letter from Mr. H. D. Stratton, of Colum
bus, written from Charleston. It contains
some graphic descriptions of the ruin
wrought. He writes!
•‘After leaving Columbus I found I could
come by Charleston, spend sixteen hours
here, and reach Jacksonville by Sunday
noon. I did it and 1 am glad I came. I
never expect to see such a pitiful picture
of wreck and desolation again. I know
all the papers are Ailing their columns
with the details. But they can’t exagerate
It. They can’t describe it truthfully.
“I believe I saw fully 2000 brick build
ings which were damaged to the extent of
$2500 or more each. Street after street is
blocked with the debris and bricks and
timbers. The illustrated napers have r#p-
resentatives here. An artist from one of
them is writing, or rather drawing, at the
same table with me. He has just folded a
dozen sketches and mailed them. In one
pile I saw three four-story stores lying
prone together. It is useless for me to try
to enumerate. Some few buildings look
sound outside. The wooden buildings have
lost their chimneys. Many verandas have
fallen.
“Nearly all houses that were on pillars
two feet high or more are shifted on their
foundations. I saw some shifted Ave
inches or more. Inside the buildings the
ceiling and plastering has fallen. I saw
one two-story wooden building that was
careened four feet out of plumb. The peo
ple are demoralized. Some are trying to
do business, but it starts slow.
“The women seem sadder than anybody
else. They all, have such sober, sorrowful
looks on their faces. Poor creatures! A
woman without a home is indeed to be
pitied. There is a funeral air per
vading the entire city—wreck I
ought to say. And it is not to be
wondered at. Who ever heard of such a
funeral since Pompeii was embalmed in
its own ashes? Certainly not in modern
times. Here are 65,000 people, many of
them representing the elite of the 6outh,
living,like Gypsies or Arabs and camping
about the tomb of Carolina’s ouee match
less metropolis. The tents are the most
cuiioU8 sight of all. There are at least
four thousand of them all over the city.
They are in every shape and of every ma
terial imaginable. In some squares the
tents are so thick and close together that
it appears impossible to pass between
them. They are even erected in yards and
in the streets. It seems to me about three-
fourths of these tenters are negroes, but
there are many of the best society people
in tents. In one park to-night I saw two
ice wagons turned into sleeping bunks.
Street care, ’busses, box cars and every
thing that an earthquake can’t get a hold
on to shake to pieces, are used for sleeping
purposes and are regularly slept in. * * *
I’ll now return, though my hand is ner
vous. Just as I wrote the word “in” in the
last sentence,there was a grinding roar and
jar. All the people in the Charleston
hotel, where I am writing this, ran into
the street. I went along, too. I was at a
window near the sidewalk. But it was all
over in a moment, and I was the Arst to
return to the building and resume writing.
So I have had a shake here also. The
heavy cornice over the veranda of this
hotel fell to the sidewalk last night. The
clerk gave me room 85 on the third floor;
so if you don’t hear from me during the
next ten days you can come and look
for me under where that roof was.
“Charleston is a much larger city than I
had supposed. It is way ahead of Savan
nah or Atlanta in the number of its busi
ness houses, and it has many lines of street
railways. The streets are nearly all
paved. The city water works are sup
plied by two artesian wells, which are 1950
feet deep and flow 400 gallons of water a
minute each. I send you a piece of lime
calcimine, which was shaken from the
plaster in a room adjoining mine. By ex
amining the sand side you can see it had a
good hold, and it must have taken a very
hard shock to loosen such a light, thin
piece. I saw a small monu
ment in the cemetery that was moved
fully five inches. It takes shaking to do
such work as that. Plenty 'of them were
toppled over, but this one stood, and had
only received a sliding movement. All
along the railroad you see sand-spews, or
sand and blue mud, that comes right up
through the ground anywhere. In some
places there is a bucketful; in others a car
load. They appear'in the middle of the
track, and all over it, and up on the high
hill sides they look as if they bad been
poured on the ground. No cracks are visi
ble. Large ponds are fllied by this mud,
while close beside them are other ponds of
Clearwater. The last of this I saw was
thirty-seven miles out ofCharleston.

FACTS FROM FORTSON.
Our (jurrespnnilanl Moralizes on the KiulHiiimke
lVInil Has Hcecme of “Ilnstleiis:"
Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
Fortson, Ga., September 7.—We have
not seen anything from Rustieus about
farming in a long, long time. We were
hoping that he was going to make a regular
correspondent ofthe Enquirer-Sun and
teach us farmers many valuable lessons.
But doubtless he told all that he knew
about farming, and a great deal more than
he knew from actual experience. It is a
great pity that the only man who knows
anything about farming is always engaged
in some other business.
Well, the earthquake shocks have passed
off and we are all quiet again. It made us
feel really solemn to heat the farm bell
ring from the shock last Tuesday night,
and to know that it was touched alone by
the divine hand, and that it was doubtless
tolling the death of a people somewhere.
Certainly “there is but a step between me
and death.” But we are just as near to
death at any moment as the people of
Charleston were last Tuesday night, if we
only could realize it, but we can’t. It is
useless, however, to entertain fears about
what is beyond the power of human
beings to control or to foretell.
One of our neighbors has a great hobby
that the world is coming to an end soon,
and that he will live to see it. I want to
tell him that he doesn’t know a bit more
about that than I do, and what I know is
not worth telling; it is simply nothing at
all. I suppose that the twelve apostles
looked anxiously for the end of the world,
and people have been predicting it ever
since the time of Christ. But one thing is
and Wisconsin give the promise of about,
one-half the usual yield. The reports indi
cate that the pastures arc rapidly -trying
up, nlthough in portions of Illinois and
Iowa late rains have served to renew the
grass somewhat. Early planted potatoes
are generally good, tint late planted are
poor and in many districts a flat failure.
The hogs are generally reported good, with
only scattering cases of cholera as yet.

Reports From the .Mi-iii|iIiIk District are Mon
I’l'onilslllg Tlun for Three Years Post.
Memphis, September 7.—The regular
monthly cotton reports of the Memphis
district, which embraces east Tennessee,
north Mississippi, north Arkansas and
north Alabama, to be published to-morrow
by Messrs. Hill & Fontaine, will say:
The weather during August has not been
most favorable to cotton, although a
majority of our correspondents report it
much more favorable than last June. The
wet weather which prevailed
in June left the plant in
poor condition to withstand the
drouth,and the warm, dry weather which
extended from early in July to about the
middle of August caused material shed
ding, and there is a genera! complaint of
injury to the plant throughout the entire
district from this cause, together witli
rust, which is also generally complained
of except in Mississippi, where the out
come of the crop is noted most
favorably. Seasonable showers fell during
the last two weeks of August, and there
has been a marked improvement in the
crop since that period.
Tne plant is reported as being umisunlly
heavily fruited, and in a majority of cases
is retaining its squares and bolls.
Of 310 responses 226 report the crop in a
better condition than last year, which is
fair indications of bright prospects for a
full average yield within the district.
Picking has begun in some few localities,
but will not become general throughout
the state until about September 18. Not
withstanding the damage reported, the in
dications are thiit, with a fair season and a
late frost the yield of this district will ex
ceed those of the past three years.
