' Thunder an.I Lightning Ac companimnnts. j Special to The State 0 Abheville, Jan 12.?Thin vicini1 ty was visited by perhaps tho I severest storm in its history last II night. It was blustering weather r,| with occasional showers all day ~ long and was unusually warm for the season. Shortly after dark ^ tlio skies were nearly clear but in I a little while thundering was h heard with quite a display of ? electricity; in a few momenta heavy clouds gathered and a deep e .roaring sound like a train of cars was heard. It was a heavy storm s passing through the outskirts of ? our city in a northeasterly direeg tinn. It seems, from reports this morning that the stoi m passed E the farm of Miss Eilen Cray, near I h | W arrwnton, where it did much dam- , r) age to ilip I>>ir us ami out buildings > >- it then panged the Imitation of M j o II Wilson, where it Mew down j t- his barn, stablc> and three negro j 5- cahins and killed a negro man, ! st then to the plantations of J B t? Ferguson and I' F Furguson, on I both of whose places it blew down! jo burns, ci ibs and outhousvs. The j jh next point in the storm's course i was the place of Z G Sptott, | about one mile from the court a. house on Main street, where some! outhouses were damaged A wagte on body belonging to Mr. Sprott I tl was taken up and hurled against u the galile of Dispenser Culvert's t. house doing eon-idei a ble damage' w - P )?, besides other injury the residence j received. Ilarruburg was the next place the storm struck, some' damage in the meantime having been done the buildings on the H| j place of Mrn. VV A Smith, where | .|j |a number of negro houses were j ryf ' enrooted or blown clown. Severa1 j liouscs were blown down.on Green j j ville street, beyond the brunch! near the one mile post. The last rs 1 | , heard from the storm near this >f I ^ place was on the Roach farm, . where a t?arn and two outhouses Ir l O were demolished and two mules ? | killed. I Several houses were unroofed I i. while the occupants *>!?pt and with I those that were blown down a number of negroes are houseless i today. Can Wo Get Some Finns ? I ? . Greenville News. I i ; There will he u great rush of ^ i Finnish |>oasants to this country ^ this year. One steamship line t hus arranged to bring 55,000 of them. 1 Eleven months ago the Russian * p government virtually abolished 0 the independence of Finland. The Fins are too weak to fight, and, , in fact, are not a fighting people, t They have decided to come here, ' 0 hoping to find freedom and the r ! opportunity to better their con u dition. They are all farming people, lined to very hard wotk and to - making wonderful crops from a reluctant soil and in a hard climate. They are all Lutherans and they are not only hard working but intelligent farmers, many of them e taught in the schools of instruc1 lion for farmers maintained hy I 1 their government. They are * ! . i . . I , ?icui utumj him kiock raisers unci | " export vast quantities of butter, , (x>tatnes and other farm products. m Sober, industrious, religious ^ and thrifty and skilled farmers - und stock raisers, they are exactly ? the people we need in the South ? ?particularly in those parts of t the South where the cotton mills " are drawing white labor from the ? farms in great masses. Our soil ' and climate would be like heaven I < #. l .o them, compared with what they iav? been iioetl to. Southern States can not spend i few dollars bettor than in an alTort to draw some of these new immigrants this way. It is likely hat more than 100,000 <>f them will come this year.

JAMES II CARLISLE INTENDS TO KESLCN. From PreaiiDncy of Wofford Collego to Take Effect in Juno. Sjiecial to The State. Spartanburg, Jan 13.?.James II Carlisle, LL D who has hot n president of Wofford college since 1875, will pi sitivelv resign this position and retire from the head of this historic institute after .June, 1000. This session will tie his Inst. Dr Carlisle has carefully considered the matter and feels that this step is the best, as In* duties Hie more confining to hi* advanced age. It is not his intention, however, to sever his connection with the college entirely, and he will doubtless accept some chair after this session. I)r Carlisle has signified the hoard of trustees of his intention, and the move is due to no friction or disagreement. Dr. Carlisle has been connected with WotFord college since 1^54. His first work was the tilling of the chair of mathematics, W hat his individuality and character and ability have accomplished in the education of hundreds of men of tlio country is too well known to describe. The fact that he has definitely decided to relinquish the control of the institution of learn ing which for almost half a ten to ry haw been quickened and enlivened and brought out to its fullest extent for good work and results by his untiring labors will bo received as very sad news by the peop'e of the entire State and many outside. The only con so ^ hition to he derived from the matter is that it is not his 'intention to separate from the college entirely. The question as to his successor is the vaguest speculation. >7T,r,77r, 4 This paper and the Atlanta 4 X Twlce-a-Week Journal tor X ' ?,'. ?. t , % % MORE CIRCUITS.

A negro boy, named Frank Hill, aged seven years, instantly killed his half sister, Mary Hanks, aged two and a half years with an axe, near Scottsvilie, Va, Thursday afternoon. The children were left alone at their home and when their parents returned they found the little girl with her head entirely severed from her body near the chimney, partially covered with ashes. A coroner's inquest * was held yesterday, and, owing to the culprit's youth he will not he prosecuted.
