It was thought that crops would be badly injured but reports do not justify the thought The hail-stones were of small size and consequently did little damages. In a number of places in the township the roads were badly washed and the small streams that overflowed did considerable damage to the land by washing. Catawba river was reported to have been higher on Sunday than at any time since the big freshet last year. Mr. Branson Resigns. Mr. C. H. Branson, who for the oast several vpnrs VioM i | the position of superintendent of the two cotton mills in this place, on Monday notified his employers of his desire to be relieved of the position and asked that his successor be named at as early a date as the mills could find a suitable man. Just what Mr. Branson's plans for the future are has not been stated, but it is not likely that he will retire from mill work. During his residence here Mr. Branson has been closely identified with the I affairs of the town and on ac-! count of the high esteem in whjch he is held by the people' of Fort Mill, all will ^egret to learn of his probable' removal from the town.
