HONEA PATH HIT BY CYCLONE. Much Property Damage in Anderson County Town.?No Lives Lost so Far 'as Known. Anderson, May 27.?A cyclone of gigantic proportions and revolving at a terrific rate of speed, bur traveling forward slowly, swooped down on the town of Honea Path, this county, about 1.30 o'clock this afternoon doing con siderable property damage. Luckily there were no fatalities so far as can be learned here tonight. Honea Path is completely cut off from wire communications tonight. Passengers arriving here on the interurban from Greenwood at 2.30 o'clock, who watched the cyclone as it advanced on urmoa Path from a noint two miles JLXVUVM * t south of the town, say that the cyclone, in its usual funnel shape, came from the direction just south of the city of Anderson, and that it touched the ground for the. first time in the business district of Honea Path, smashing plate gass fronts in the stores and doing other damage. <* some ui J>milliners i/oiuugcu. One side of the brick store room occupied by the Latimer Clothing Company was blown out. The steeple and roof of the Baptist church was partially demolished. The seed and outhouses of the oil mill were turned over, as were the smoke stacks of the mills. Many sma.ii nouses m tut? tuvm ncic knocked down. Bricks and sticks were flying in the air and one man, a lineman of the inierurban, was hit in the head, causing considerable pain. One or two automobiles and other vehicles were overturned, throwing the occu pants out and causing some injuries.; Interurban Station Hit. Terra cotta roofing of the interurban passenger station was badly damaged, while the roof on one side of the frame warehouse of this road was practically destroyed. This damage seemed to Slave been wrought as an afterthought by the cyclone, as after it had passed J over this building, a gust of wind | forming a suction of great strength reached back and literally sucked a hole at least twenty feet square in the roof. It looked as if a projectile had been fired through the roof from the iside. !. Freaks of the Wind. Several freaks are reported. A horse was blown against a box car on the interurban yards, and was instantly killed. A box car left on a side track was picked up by the wind and hurled over the derail on to the main line. Then it was forced back at a terrific rate of speed on to another side track, jumping another derail, a thing which is considered practically impossible. So far as can be learned here, with all wires down, the cyclone did no damage before reaching Honea Path. The amount of damage wrought be J tt T-._i.-i. ?J +v>,\? ^ yona nouea jraui auu uu cms siuc i the Saluda river is not known. Rain fell in torrents during the visit of and after the cyclone had passed over Honea Path. Seen Several Mes off. Witnesses on the interurban car, which was stopped when the cyclone took off the electric power, say that they could see the cyclone approaching for several miles; that it extended from the errmnri in Honea Path wav un into the heavens, until entirely out of sight. The cyclone as it came in contact with other clouds, would burst them into pieces, hurling pieces of the clouds for several hundred yards. The \ cyclone was most spectacular and yet very uncanny.

The aged Veterans who thronged the streets, appeared to enjoy the display immensely.

Washington, May 26.?The junior South Carolina senator introduced to day and made a vigorous speech in behalf of a resolution directing the secretary of commerce to inquire fully as to the names of the parties or corporations that sold the cotton alleged to have been bought in 1910 by a pool of purchasers now under indictment of justice, and at what price these parties sold this cotton to pool and whether or not they owned the cotton at the time of sale and the price of spot cotton in the mark-ets of the country on the date of the making of said contracts report to be made to the senate at the earliest possible moment. Senator Smith is working on the theory that speculators who conspire to depress the price of cotton should incur the same odium as those who conspire to raise it.. mT*in .An fTfTITATlCl liitntiLiina ur AuinvAg. 3Emy of Best Books Were Hardest to Sell.
