Greenwood, March 25.?Green15 ;v wood was visited by a severe and disastrous tornado early this morning which did great damage to houses in the southern part of the town. On . either side of the town, also in the ppig track of the storm, there are reports of serious damage. So far only one V death has been reported, that of an pld i^egro man named Henry Roof, ' who lived alone in a house on tne , Partlow place, about three miles east of the town. On this Partlow place almost all the tenant houses and a gin house were blown down, the lat? ter a complete wreck. In town the residence of Mr. R. " P. Pinson was badly damaged, part ?f the roof being taken off. Further up the street the home of Mr. W. H. Napier was even more badly wrecked, p-vis? his chimneys are blown down and a part of the house torn off. It is a large two-story house and the dam age is considerable. Right around |p^ Mr. Pinson, Dr. R. E. Mason had fejj;. chimneys blown down, two tenant " houses, Mr. J. P. Addy had chimneys blown down and his store roof taken off, Mr. J. M. Pratt had considerable damage done to his house ' an(* in fact tlie bouses in that ^ part of town were damaged more or i^ v*. less seriously and almost all of the negro cabins were blown down. It is almost miraculous that there were * no other fatalities. Mr. J. W. Wells had a barn blown down and a numDer 01 came in me uam wcic -killed by the timbers. R- ,. . There was also considerable damage out at Salak. Mr. J. H. Davis, a young man who had just built a residence and a store, lost both, both being completely wrecked by the storm. No one was hurt. Reports continue to come in of great damage to buildings in the path of the storm on either side of town, but no other deaths. ^ ASSASSINATED IN HIS HOME. V ? *?-' " **> * Jerry Bigford, of Columbus County, Slnin. Wilmington, N. C., March 23.? Jerry Bigford, a young white farmer and storekeeper, living near Freeman's, Columbus county, this State, was murdered last night by an assassin who fired upon him through a window of his home where he lived alone near his store, his body being found weltering in blood by a negro woman, who went to the store this morning to make a small purchase. The sheriff was notified and with bloodhounds trailed the supposed assassin to and across Cape Fear river, where Cleveland Russ and Stilmore Russ, brothers, were arrested, one of them, it is alleged, being a rival of w young Bigford for the hand of a Miss Squires, of an adjoining county, whom the dead man was to marry to-morrow night. The Russ boys are held pending a coroner's inquest. j^e St< 1^S i our last /flr * il.-i ? "jiLdif we /BFu je line of 11 them to IVy V/ / boy. The ^ have for ^ .

Guthrie, Okla., March 25.?On th scene of the famous Creek Indiai uprising of last year at Hickory set tlement three negroes were killed five wounded and 41 captured in j battle between 20 deputy sheriffs am 100 negroes. The fighting began lab Wednesday and continued with in terruptions until 10 o'clock to-day. Five deputies went from Henriet ta, 18 miles north, to the negro set tlement to arrest cattle "thieves thought to be concealed in th< house of one of the negroes. The; were met at the edge of the cam] by a party of armed negroes, who re fused to allow them to enter. Th< deputies persisted and were fire< upon. Being outnumbered, the fiv< deputies fled. A few hours after the first clash i larger posse, neavny aruieu, icouuci the settlement. Some one fired a sho j and the rioting was on. When nigh fell the excitement increased and ne ; groes roamed through the woods firing and yelling. The fight continued as a series o duels throughout the night, the ne groes retreating gradually fron tree to tree as the deputies advanced [ firing steadily. Reaching the set tlement the negroes barricadec themselves in the huts and could no be dislodged. At daybreak firing ceased anc neither party made another move un til 10 o'clock, when the deputies re newed the attack on the negroes who now numbered 100 against 2( deputies. About 300 shots were fired in th< last encounter, when the three ne groes were killed and Deputy Sherif Fowler injured. At the first onslaught the negroes were dislodged and fled. The depu ties pursued and captured 41. All is quiet to-night and no furth er rioting is anticipated. Bucks Pay. Kate V. Saint-Maur, who has woi a reputation by her success in show ing people how to make money a home, tells how to make money wit) ducks in the April Woman's Homi Companion. "Ducks are so profitable," say Mrs. Saint-Maur, "that I cannot un derstand why so few keep them, un less it is the mistaken idea that the; must have a stream or pond ii which to swim. It is true that th< old-fashioned puddle duck did seen a miserable creature out of water but the improved strains are almos as much land birds as chickens are My stock started with two ducks am a drake which had cost me sevei dollars. The first season I raise* fifty-eight, sold forty-six, and kep twelve to stock. They were read: for market when eleven weeks old and the lowest price was eighteen cents a pound." 3ck of ^ TAILOR MADE CLOTHING A kjL SPECIALTY WW I We represent the my I best made-to-measI ure house that can " j I be found.

Twenty-five Gallon Liquor Plant ! Seized by Deputies.' e Anderson, March 23.?Within six a miles of Anderson Deputies Stewart ; and Martin of Sheriff King's office, J n 25-erallon liauor still 1 '? this afternoon. It was located in a ? a cave and had been in operation uhtil 1 j a short time before discovery. The 1 worm and still were brought to the 1 ' jail here, but one barrel of corn 1 " whiskey and three barrels of mash 1 were poured out. The still was near 1 " the public road and probably has J " been operated some time. No ar- { '? rests were made as the operators evi- { e dently got wind of the raid. 1 V ??? 1 ? The Curse of Liquor. 1 5 Read this practical application: j j "Statistics tell us that 90,000,000 j 5 gallons of alcohol are annually 2 poured into the blood and brains of j people. When it is remembered that j alcohol is a poison classed with arse- ; t nic, corrosive sublimate and prussic t acid, it is easy to conceive how "woe" , . attends the use of strong drink. The ( 3 drinking man is ever a promoter of ( vice and crime and "wounds with- ; f out cause" are his portion. ( "We build insane asylums, penitenj tiaries, jails reformatories and alms houses to take care of the traffic we ] I legalize. Strange economy! The j revenue gained through license is a t paltry sum when compared with the 3 cost of the drink traffic. Language is ] j inadequate to portray tne sorrow, am * . and suffering caused by intemper. ance. Men and women are blinded by prejudice, policy, ignorance and j indifference. Christian citizens have . failed at the place where God gives 3 them power, and as a result the liI quor traffic continues. Who is rej sponsible for the evils of intemperance? At the bar of God, justice 3 awaits all." Predicts Pan-American Nation. Asheville, N. C., March 28.?That the whole of the American continent will eventually become one great republic under the government of what i is now the United States, is the pre diction made by Former Governor t Folk in conversation here to-day. i Gov. Folk declared that a clash be- v 4-TTr^Qii fho TTnif-nri fitntps nnH Pfl.ns.da G ITTVWU tuv UU1VVU ?? ? is inevitable, and that it will come in s the not distant future is his belief. - The great influx of Americans in the ] - grain fields and lumber region of t y southwest Canada, each carrying < a with him his natural allegiance to ; e the United States, is the leaven i q which he thinks eventually must de- i , velop the clash between the United j t States and her sister country on the !. north. 1 i The situation in Mexico also offers a food for serious thought, he admit- ' i ted. The natural antagonism of the ] t Mexicans to the American mining in- 1 y terests in that country, which has ; I, been kept under by President Diaz, < a he thinks, will break out afresh at i the death of the Mexican president. ] : Spri I i she " ing' yob uotq i say lluio fy00, W6< Great Scott, we have the swellest line J of Hats in the town.

Finding of Bodies in River Reveals Doable Crime of Mother. SImsbury, Conn., March 24.?The bodies of Mrs. Amos Miller and her two children were found in the Farmington river this morning. The children had been tied together before drowning ensued and through a note left by Mrs. Miller, the probabilities are strong that she took their lives and her own while mentally depressed. Yestdrday afternoon Mrs. Miller left home with the children. Mr. Miller returned to the house about 5 o'clock and for a time did not worry ~ About dusk he began to look about for some explanation of his wife's disappearance and found a note in his desk to the effect that she intended to kill herself. Soon after daylight this morning the three bodies were found in the river some distance from the Miller home. The Psalm of Strife. (With apologies to Longfellow). Tell me not in mournful numbers Strife is but an empty dream! For unto the town that slumbers Kickers are more hurtful than thpv seem. Business is real, contracts pressing, And the kickers do them harm; Pests they are, that keeps us guessing? Knockers, that are void of charm. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Ts their destined end or way; And they act that each tomorrow People wish they'd leave and stay. Work is long and time is fleeing And our hearts, though stout and brave, We are up against it when competing With a kicker and a knave. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of strife, They're Mauds?-dod gast the cattle! Whose hoofs are sharper than a knife. Trust no future, howe'er pleasant, When the kickers have full sway; ! Act! Act in the living present, And chase them all clear away. Lives of Boosters all remind us We can also help our town, And departing leave behind us Kind words and deeds, but not a frown. Deeds that perhaps another Hap'ning to pass this way? A moneyed, investing brother, Seeing hustle will decide to stay., i Let us then be up?get something ) doing, With a heart for any fate, And the kickers, still pursuing, Chase them early, chase them late.
