CILLY.BREEZES BLOW t APRIL SNOW ABOUT SEVERE SPELL OF WINTER COLD FRIGHTENS SPRING. Cotton, 'Corn and Fruit all Greatly Damaged-Reports From Diff. erent Counties of the State. Columbia State, 26th. A very cold day for April was yes terday, and last night at 8 o'clock the temperature for Columbia reg istered 43.5 degrees. The maximum for the day was 57, and at 8 o'clock yesterday morning the temperature was 50 degrees. The very cool weather last night indicated cold weather for today and such is the prediction of the weather bureau. With reports from neighboring South Carolina towns of bitter chill sweeping over valleys and hills, and light falls of snow being reported from several cities throughout the State, Columbians can look out with no fear of seeing snow, but frost may be seen and destructive frost it is apt to prove. The severe and con tinued cold spell, which began Sun day, and will certainly 'continue throughout the day, will doubtless prove a blow to cotton and fruit throughout the State. The cold weather affects every walk of life. Yesterday med looked up overcoats when the outer gar ments had supposedly been retired for the summer, and many were the wraps, shawls, sweaters and pro tective garments seen in evidence on the streets yesterday, by those of the feminine sex who braved the bit ing wind for a trip to the business section of the city. In business houses in Columbia radiators groaned with an onrush of steam when these dispensers of warmth had confidently expected a summer's vacation. The very sudden and severe cold weather may prove serious to base ball, for attendance at all the cities in the South Atlantic was cripplied yesterday, and games were played under the -greatest difficulties. In the Southern league cold weather and snow, to say nothing of sleet, necessitated a cancellation of games and a like condition of affairs exist ed in the North in a more aggravat ed fashion. Cotton Seriously Damaged. * Florence, April 25.-The cotton *crop is seriously injured in Florence1 county if not practically destroyed N3 There is not near enough seed .to re-1 plant. Corn is badly damaged and the fruit crop may be totally de stroyed. The thermometer is 45 degrees and falling. S Will Result in Bad Stand. Spartanburg, April 25.-At 9 a o'clock tonight the thermometer reg- t sters 40. The sky is clearingnd the wind, which has been high dur- I the day, seems to be dying down, t conditions which seem to promise a heavy frost. There was a flurry of a snow and sleet here early In the day c and the thermometer has shown the C day to be one of the coldest known t at this season for many years. Cotton in this county is not up C but it is said such cool weather will t chill the seed In the ground and will result in a bad stand.s Corn will be greatly damaged a the fruit crop, which has thus far I escaped damage, will probably suffer x greatly. "It is cloudy and if the wind keeps a .up," said a farmer tonight, "we may not be so badlj damaged." I,-| Snow In GreenvIlle.4 * Greenville, April 25.-Greenville I experiencing real winter weather tonight. During the day there was a slight spit of snow. R. F. D. car riers coming in from. the mountains late today report quite heavy snow fall in that direction. It is the generally expressed opin ion that the peach and berry crops are only slightly damaged as they are very far advanced, peaches espe cially so. .U9 Fears are expressed for early corn and beans, though it wnll not be known to what extent these are damaged till the sun comes out to morrow or next day. Snow Falls in Anderson. Anderson, April 25.-Snow fell here for a few minutes about 3 o'clock this afternoon. It soon turn ed into rain. At 6 o'clock p. m. the thermometer w as 40. Sleet and Snow. Edgefield, April 25.--The low tem perature that prevails here greatly endangers cotton and early vegeta iles. Sleet and snow fell near town his afternon about 5 o'clock. Should ,otton that has been planted be cilled it would be difficult to ob ain sufficient seed for a second ;lanting. Cold Weather in Sumter. Sumter, April 25.-There has been ao frost here up to tonight but it is [eared there will be tonight. The thermometer registers 40 degrees. There has been no damage so far to crops other than their retardation by cold weather. Outlook Discouraging In Union. Union, April 25.-The weather in Union is something severe at this time of the year. Frost is expected tonight. Vegetables and crops are very much damaged. The thermo meter is 42 degrees. The wind has been blowing hard all day up till 6 o'clock this evening. Several small showers have fallen today and the outlook for farmers is discouraging. Snow in Georgia. Macon, Ga., April 25.-Light snow fell here this morning. Brisk winds and cold weather was experienced Eor the first time in April in many years. Heavy frost is predicted for tonight, which, if it comes, will in all probability prove disastrous to vegetables. 1illons of Acres Cotton Destroyed. Atlanta, Ga., April 25.-With mil lions of acres of young cotton- de ;troyed by the cold weather which today overspread the entire cotton )elt, with the unusual April accom ;animent in many sections of snow Lnd sleet, the South has suffered itd most disastrous. financial setback ;erhaps since the Civil war. Be sides cotton, young% vegetation of Ivery description suffered from thel reezing temperature and fruit was nore or less damaged in every 3outhern State, except Florida. Reports received tonight indicate :hat the cold snap has not abated in xeorgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, northern Alabama, Louisiana, Mis-; issippi and even further west and ~or much 'of this territory a heavy ~rost and freezing temperatures are >redicted for Tuesday morning. In Atlanta and throughout the northern ialf of Georgia, except near the At antic, the thermometer has been be ow 40 degrees above zero all day. Atlanta woke this morning to find ;now had .covered houses and the ~hermomenter down to 81, an e. >erience never before recorded after :he first days of. April. Snow fell; is far south as Selma, Ala., Colum >us, Miss., and Columbus, aG., and ni north Georgia, Tennessee and in >arts of north Alabama and Missis lippi, the fall ranged from one to our inches. Cottonseed oil mills in this State nd Alabama today were appealed o for seed for replanting purposes,, nd State officials implored the aills to crush no more seed until he farmers have been supplied. It s doubtful, however, if eufficient eed can be secured, even at the rec ird prices being offered, to replant ine-half of the area of young cot on destroyed by the cold. At Columbus, Ga., tonight one ottonseed oil mill annyunced that teir entire supply was at the com aand of the planters and would be old for $1 per bushel. Today a car ad of seed was shipped from that ont to the Mississippi delta, and any telegrams were received from .11 sections of the South asking for .n allotment of seed supplies.
