LOWER PART OF OCONEE HIT Ry Severo Wind and Rain Storm on Friday of Last Wook. During lust Thursday night and in tho early hour? of Friday morning tho South Union and Fair Play scc I Hons of Oconee wore visited by a severo storm-wind, considerable electricity and torrents of rain. The loss in tho way of damaged build ings, dostroyod timber and washed lands will. amount up pretty high, though those who have seon the ter- j rltory over which the storm passed 1 would not hazard a guess as to tho financial loss. There ls nothing in tho nature of a disaster-no life was lost, and the property damage, while heavy in places, has, in most casos at least, fallen on mon able to bear the burden of a loss. Among tiloso whoso losses we-havo boen able to secure, reports of aro tho following: In South Union territory Jas. H. Brown suffered slight loss through the blowing down of some shelters about the farm and several chimneys blown from tenant houses. His main loss lies in destruction to timber, which will amout to moro than tho losses to house and other property. J. W. Allen lost heavily through destruction of timber.

Tho roof of his res idence was also badly damaged and window blinds blown from hinges. Ono tenant house was topped and another had the chimney blown away On the farm of Mrs. S. J. Strtbling considerable damage was done, but we were unable to secure any par ticulars. Other sections of the county report heavy wind and a veritable torrent of rain, but so far as Inquiry could be made no material damage has been suffered In other sections.
