CYCLONE HITS NEAR LAKE CITY. New House Blown Against Old and iU-th Wrecked-No Life !<<?stt. Lake City, S. C., Jan. 7.-Last night about 7 o'clock a very destruct i.e cyclone visited the Gaskin^ neigh borhood, about six miles east of this place, blowing down outhouses, trees and the like. The most serious dam age reoprted was to J. F. Lawrence's new house, which he was erecting just in front of the one in which he was living. When they heard the roaring of the wind Mr. Lawrence and the contractor who was doing the work for him stepped on the front porch to see what it was, and about this time the fraine of the new house was blown over on to the old house, breaking it down upon tile family. .Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Hazeldell, the contractor, after about thirty minutes extricated themselves from the timbers and at once began the work of rescuing the ot lier members of the family, and at the same time preventing the spread of tile tire, which had caught some of the tim bers which fell near to the fireplace, in which there was a large fire. The wreck was so great that it required almost throe hours, with Hie assist ance of neighbors, to remove the broken timbers and rescue all of the family. The last one to lie rescued was a baby about a year old, which, was found in bed willi one of the joints ?list across its (liest, yet there was no* a scratch on its body, and except tor tho cold it appeared not lo have suffered from the storm. Cor a distance ol' three milt's the trees and all small houses were blown down and the damage is va riously estimated, bul it will be found to be a considerable amount, especially winni the loss in timber is considered.

Clemson College, Jan. 9.-Special: Out of a number of reports of suc cess in feeding the Clemson College egg mash to induce hons to lay, the following letter to P. C. Hare, poul try husbandman at Clemson, from a prominent single comb white Leg horn breeder in Lancaster county, is among the most interesting recently received. The writer says: "1 am feeding the Clemson ogg mash to 500 of my youngest S. C. white Leg horn pullets, and it has brought them out wonderfully. They have already begun to pick up In egg yield." This mash, which was originated by Mr. Hare, contains only foods that aro produced in South Carolina. It can easily he mixed at home, of home-raised materials, or, if neces sary, it can he bought from dealers In Greenville, Spartanhurg, Colum bia, Darlington or Bennettsville, who have decided to keep the Clemson mash on hand. The formula for the mash consists of one-third cotton seed meal, one third equal parts wheat bran and shorts, and one-third equal parts corn meal and ground oats. In some sec tions where ground oats cannot be readily obtained, the last third may be of corn meal alone, but ground oats should be used If possible. Add to each 75 pounds of the mixed meals four pounds of ground lime rock (not slaked lime) or of chick-size ground oyster shells, three pounds of chick size ground charcoal and' one-half pound of table salt. This makes a palatable mixture, which contains is."a per cont protein, H .L' per cent carbohydrates, 7. I lier cent liber, and ?1.2 per cent fal a balanced mash food tor laying hens and pullets. All thal is necessary is to place this Clemson egg mash dry In a box ol dish and lei the hens eat all they desire. The more they eat, says Mr. Hare, the more they should lay, and they will lay ?f they are contented, free from lice, fed grain twice daily in litter for exercise, and have fresh, water constantly before them. $100 Reward, $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Ca tarrh, being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken inter nally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the consti tution and assisting nature in doing its work.
