In the. Supreme Court.

argued Friday in the Supreme Court.

The Best Way.
Mr. -James L. Sbealy dropped in to
see us while in town Monday. He is
en industrious farmer and a genial
fellow. We were pleased to learn |
that he and Mr. J^smes Langford
had settled their differences out of ;
' court.
This is the best as well as !
the cheapest way for friends and
neighbors, when they fall out, which
is often the case, to do. Going to
law to settle difficulties among neighbors
is not at all satisfactory. It
generally adds fuel to the flames and
aggravates the already'inflamed passions.
Good results always follow in'
amicable settlement of differences.

Stronger Than Ever.
There was a meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the Palmetto Colleghte
Iostitute last Thursday. The
plans for an aggressive campaign in
the interest of the institate for the
coming session were laid and the outlook
fully canvassed. AmoDg the
business transacted was the election
of teachers, which resulted as follows:
Prof. 0 D. Seay, President; Prof
James H. Hope, Superintendent of
the intermediate department; Miss
Mary Wingard, principal of the primary
department, and Mrs. FaDnie
Roof, director of the musical department.
No Court.
The June Term of Court "opened
and closed in short form " On account
of the absence of Judge Townsend,
who was water bound at his
home in Union and could not pos'
sibly reach this place, we had no
court. There were a large number
of jurors and witnesses present and
the attorneys were prepared to go to
trial in a number of cases. Judge
TowDsend telegraphed the Clerk of
C^urt to discharge all jurors and
witnesses and allowed the attorneys
to fix a date for bearing equity cases,
and Saturday the 20th instant, was
named. All criminal business was
continued until the September term.

Hail Stora.
A very severe and destructive hail
storm fell near Edmund on Monday
afternoon of last week. Mr. D. M. j
Sex brought to this office Monday
some black jacks, which were taken
from a track, about two miles long
and a half a c iU wide, over which
the hail passed. All the bark and
leaves were literally beaten from
them and in some places the limbs
were beaten into shreds. Mr. Noah
Shumpert says that on last Monday
be went cut and gathered a bucket
full of hail stone-i and there still
remains, covered up with leaves and
debris several car loads of stones.

Mr. Dunbar of the same section
has sent to this rfSce samples of
tobacco, which had been destroyed
by hail on the same day. The leaves
are a perfect mass of shreads. He
bad six acres of the weed in fine
growing condition, which was more
or less injured by the hail. The
storm visited other sections doing
much damage to growing crops.
We are informed that the same
section was visited yesterday afternoon
by another severe raiD, wind
and hail storm, but failed to learn
the damage.

A Narrow Escape.
This town made a narrow escape
i /? ? i
irom oeiog wiped out Dy nre last
Saturday night. During the rain,
lightning struck the telephone wires
and followed them to Mr. W. P.
Roof's large store and the current
entered it setting fire to the wall?.
Fortunately it was discovered by
some one who had taken refuge from
the rain in the vestibule and the
alarm was given before the flames
could make any headway. No damage
was done.
