so hot he is becoming restless.

While digging a ditch deeper
last week to put in a galvanized
culvert in the public road near
Mr. W. M. Mangum's home, Mr.
T. M. Jenkins and others found
an old willow stump about
three feet under the ground.
This road is said to have been
opened by Cornwallis' army during
the Revolutionary war and
so far as is known there has been
no change in the location of the
road at this place. The stump
would therefore be nearly a
hundred and thiity-five years
old. Those who do hot believe
this may investigate the matter
further.

The most destructive hail
storm of recent years visited
York county and thence into
North Carolina on Monday
night of last week. The hail in
many places was said to be as
large as eggs and it remained on
the ground in some places for
about 24 hours. It was several
feet deep in the rifted places and
could be gathered up the next
day in loads. Window panes
were broken, shingles were split
and battered from the roofs,
cows, chickens and other animals
were killed. The stc.m covered
an area trom three-!S -fei i Ues
wide and about twenty-five '
miles long, and all growing

They have bought supplies from
the merchants on time, many of
them, and now that their crops
have been wiped out, are afraid
to return to town lest they be
called to account. As to getting
additional supplies, they don't
know how to proceed. This applies
of course only to those
who are in such distressing situations.
Many are not, but all
feel the blasting effect of this
fearful hail storm, the worst that
section has ever known. In
order to render all the assistance
in its power, the Southern Kailway
has already ordered a number
of demonstrators and farm
experts into this territory for the
purpose of conferring with those
afflicted and to tell them just
what to do under the circumstances.
These experts are being
sent here to inform the farmers
what crops to plant in order to
secure a narvesi netore killing
frost comes and how to prepare
the soil in order to hasten the
fruiting season.
