The County Storm Swept on Tuesday.! Heavy Hail and Strong Wind. Much Damage Done. The worst rain and hail storm within the recollection of the oldest citi zen visited Xewberry about 11 o'clock on Tuesday, it came up without much warning and was over in about a half i':our. The 'hail was heavy and fierce while it lasted. The wind was strong, with a good deal of damage in the way of broken glass, which would not have resulted if there had been no wind, i ne u;an siuues \\ ei e m mauj cases as large as guinea eggs and some of them remained on t e ground for quite a while. In many places in the county the hail was as heavy as in Newberry, and in some the wind more severe. No very great or serious damage is reported from any section, though in some places the farmers are replanting cotton. The greatest damage in Newberry "was in the breaking of window panes. A great many in t' e stores along Main street and in the Crotwell hotel building were broken out. At the Newberry Cotton mill some 1,200 glass were broken from Uie windows of the mill and some damage was done to the machinery, or rather the work that was in the machines, by ti e glass falling on it and cutting the thrf In the homes of the village a good many glass were also broken. At the Mollohon bill a great number of glass were broken out, but at uaKland not a glass was broken. In the county in some places the (hail ind wind was more severe than in town. Around Belfast, in the western section, tf:e wind did some damage in the blowing down of trees and unroofing buildings. A large oak was thrown across the store building on l.vir. 1". J. jjavenpcrt s pia.t;e a.uu crushed the building. Several houses on Mr. Robert Wallace's place were partly unroofed and a great many trees blown down. Around Jolly Street and Little Mountain the storm was severe, but no serious damage done. About Mr. L. W. Floyd's place, on the Belfast road, there was very little rain, but in most sections there was a good rain. It was the heaviest tail this writer ever remembers to 'have seen. The cotton was young and in many places just coming up, and it is not thought * J <)nnn +r\ if T*?! P mucn uamage ?a& uuuc <.u n.. fruit in some places suffered considerable damage. Among the worst sufferers in the storm Tuesday was Mr. Fair Buford, whose cotton house was struck by lightning and destroyed, two tons of nitrate of soda being burned, five tons of guano damaged, besides ?40 wortn of peas lost in tl:e flames. A fine colt was also struck by tfre lightning and seriously injured. Willowbrook Park to Open. Willowbroow park will open for the season Saturday evening. May 8.
