From early Wed nesday evening until almost daylight Thursday morning there were (lashes of lightning playing in different quar ters, followed by alternating piercing and rumbling peals of thunder. There appeared to be no direct strokes, however, until in the early morning hours of Thursday, when, between 1 and 2 o'clock, a veritable ball of fire struck a transformer on the electric pole in front of the Riemann prop erty on Faculty Hill, destroying the transformer, then running to the light pole at the P. E. Harrison cor ner. The pole was shattered com pletely, the light and fixtures being torn out and distributed pro miscuously about the street. The re port was beard distinctly In every portion of town. The crash came with a sound similar to that of a huge cannon and was followed by a peculiar rumbling and vibrating noise. Practically every phone in the service of the Oconee Telephone. Company in town was put out of commission, though the effect of the lightning was less severe on the tele phone company's lines than on those of the local lighting system, A few residence circuits on the lighting lines were left intact, but most of thc residence and business lighting was interfered with, many lights be ing barned out. The street lights were completely knocked out. At several points the transmission wires were melted and dropped to the ground. At the property of Amos Sadler, not far distant from the pol ii t at which tho electric light pole was shattered, shingles were knocked from the roof of the barn In five dif ferent places, but no other damage Was done there. The local lighting plant was put into shape as soon as possible by Superintendent James W. Harrison and a force of hands, all residences being lighted again by Thursday night. Not all of the dam age to street lights bas as yet been overcome, but will be straightened out as soon as materials can be got ten In hand to repair thc damage done. The current waft cut off from the plant of the Walhalla Power Company, from which plant current ls secured by the Commissioners of Public Works, but tho town's plant was switched on, giving current until the power company could rectify the disarrangements caused to Us plant. - Just opened a large stock of cloth shoes and oxfords with leather sol^s; also, all kinds of tennis rub ber bottom shoes and pumps and oxfords.
