Hail Damages Cotton. a
Aiken, Special.?Reports are com- O
ing to the city of severe damage last n
week by hail in many sections of the tl
county. One mght last week a heavv
rain and windstorm visited some sec- T
tions and for a few minutes hail fell r(
?s thick as the rain, in stones said F
to have been as large as bird eggs, S(
beating bales of cotton out of the r"
burs. One farmer estimates that ho ?
had not less than ten bales of the "
staple beat out. This cotton will, of T
course, he picked up, but it is very
uauiy damaged. Another farmer Li
says that he lost about two bales. e
There is perhaps more cotton open ii
in the fields of Aiken county at this si
time than ever at one time before, u
Thousands of bales remain in the
fields. Labor is not so very scarce, si
but the cotton is plentiful. It is be- p
ing harvested fast, and the ginneries w
are doing a "land office business.'' h
Action is Indorsed. ri
Greenville, Special.?Resolutions
were adopted here Monday bv the (1
executive committee of the South
Carolina Cotton Manufacturers' As- P
sociation indorsing the action taken 11
at Charlotte last week by the National
A ssociation of Cotton Manufaeturers,
pledging curtailment in pro- n
duction. Committees were named to
communicate with all mills in the a
State in regard to carrying out the
curtailment agreement. Resolutions .
objecting to the extra amount of lf"
bagging placed on bales over the 11
limited tare of twenty pounds were
adopted. The organization of a a
Southern mill mutual insurance com- a
pany was discussed and cotton buyers
were urged in a resolution to dis
continue buying cotton at gins.

b
Darlington, Special.?Van Clanton ir
shot and killed his son-in-law, John
Wilson, near Clyde, in this county, jj
early Tuesday mornng. The origin ]#
of the trouble appears to be a family bi
quarrel in which Clanton charged d'
Wilson with arraying his family
against him. 1
Fire in Sumter.
Sumter, Special.?The fire depart<mt
had a smart early morning fire
their hands between 4 and o ri
clock Wednesday morning. A two- tl

.arming avenue, about half a block ^
south of the railroad tracks, burned
< id as this is a thickly settled neigh- y
! >rhood, all old frame houses, and w
i lie wind was blowing the sparks at
a very lively rate, it took good work n
to hold the fire to the building where
it originated. This building was de- h
utroyed. It belonged to Wisdom R,
Gass, and was occupied by colored j,
people. t<
