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

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.
YETERANS ANNUAL REUNION.
Thousands of Month's Heroes Meet in
Chattanooga.?Great Pageant
Feature of Frst Day.
Chattanooga, Tenn, May 27.?Eloquent
addresses, spectacular parades
and scores of spcial entertainment in
) honor of Veterans, sponsors and maids
i of honor, characterized the opening
day of the 23d annual United Conf.-d
erate Veteran's Reunion in this city.
The only discordant note was sounded
at the first business session or the "Veterans,
when hisses, finally drowned out
by cheers, slightly delayed Governor
Ben. W. Hooper, of Tennessee, in delivering
his address of welcome. ' The
Tennessee executive, wh.o is said to
have been the first republican governor
to welcome a reunion of Confederate
Veterans, disregarded the disturbance.
and was given an ovation
at the conclusion of his remarks
Throughout the day the influx of visitors
continued. Every train adaed
hundreds to the thousand already in
the ci'y. Although the weather was
threatening no rain fell and the temperature
remained in the sixties. Fair
and warmer weather is predicted for
tomorrow.

In filmy gowns and laces they were
: driven in automobiles along the prin

lined the sidewalks to witness the !
pageant, while the capacity of special
reviewing stands on Broad street was
taxed to the utmost.
Gen. Bennett H. Young, commander
in-chief oi the United Confederate Veterans,
and Governor Hooper, with
their staffs, reviewed the parade from
an official stand erected at Gen
Young's headquarters.
The aged Veterans who thronged the
streets, appeared to enjoy the display
immensely. As each automobile passed,
i filled witn oeauurui women ana gms,
the Veterans leaned far over the retaining
ropes along the street, waved
their hats and threw kisses to the
Southern beauties. These in turn acknowledged
the greetings and tossed
flowers to the old soldiers.
U. S. Cavalry Review.
The review today of the lith United
: States cavalry furnished a novel spectacle

I ed "Dixie."
Business sessions were held m the i

; morning and afternoon by both the j
United Confederate Veterans and the J

mander-in-chief. The new commander '
is the son of William W. Old, of Vir- I
ginia, who served on the staff of Gen. !
Early in the valley campaign, and with j
Gen: Ed. Johnson. Invitations were I

ganization from Denver, Col., and Birmingham,

Chattanooga, May 24.?Pitched in the

ing when the grand ball in their honor
i will De given in a gigauuc pavilion
erect-ed on the athletic field of the
University of Chattanooga.
Interest in the program for the last
day of the reunion centres chiefly in
the veterans parade. This always has
been one of the most impressive features
of the veterans' reunions. Many
of th-e Southern fighters will be too
feeble to march in the ranks with their
comrades. Realizing this arrange
ments liave been made to furnish carriages
and automobiles for those who
wish to participate in the parade, despite
their inability to stand the severe
strain. Others will occupy reserved
seats in the reviewing stands,
where they can witness the parage and
cheer ilieir coriraies as they pass.
The reunion will be concluded with
a pageant participated in by local
auuuui ciniuieu luui&uctv aitemuuiv
and a ball in honor of the sons of Veterans
the same evening.

James Evans, of Chicago, robbed the

Northern National Bank at noon to
day of two rolls of bills, each containing
3500. The money was abstracted
from the teller's window. Pursued by
bank attaches, Evans ran into the arms
of a policeman.
0 PROTECT COTTON PRICES.
Serator Smith Calls A Report an
Famous Pool of 1910.
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..
