A Disastrous Hall Storm
In our last issue wo reported
considerable damage done by the
hail which foil in several sections
of the county Thursday night.
We thought the damage was great
but it was only slight whan compared
with that done by hall in the
vicinity of Wrstville, just over
tho lino in Kershaw county, the
same night Wo are told that
| hailstones could be gathered up
j by wagon loads from tho ground
1 tli? following day and that on at
i least nine farms in the vicinity of
I VVestville, the owners cannot
hope to gather as much as
pounds of seed cotton per acre.
Nothing but the hare stalks are
loft standing. Some of the
heaviest losers are Messrs. Thos.
Cauthcn, James Cautlien, and
Joseph Gardner. Mr. Gardner
had one field of sixteen acres in
cotton from which he generally
gathers about fourteen bales but
our informant stated it would he
impossible for him to make as
much &b live pounds per acre on
it this year. The storm extended
on to Horn's mill, about fifteen
miles from Westville.
The same night our old friend,
i Mr. W. S. Horton, who lives near
Kershaw, had his cotton crop
, badly injurod by hail along with
' several of his neighbors.
