RAILWAY TO ENTER SUIT V?. CITY COUNCIL REFUSED TO MEET REQUEST IS FRIENDLY AFFAIR Railroad Asked City To Share Cost of Building Storm Sewer and Council Refused When officials, of the Charleston & Western Carolina Railway appeared last night before the Anderson city council and attorneys for tbc railroad presented their arguments, ir'appoar ed for a time that the city fathers might agree to bear half the expense of constructing a new storm sewer for the protection of the railroad property on Main street. However, withir. a few minutes after such a mo tion was made a very decided opposi tion became evident and the motion was lost when a vote was taken.- Pol lowing that action the railroad served notice it would institute suit against the city to test its righ o force ho city to change the drainage along South Main street. In the words of A. W. Anderson, general manager of the road, "wo expect / to win with hands.- down, but it will be entirely a friendly suit from start to finish." All the lawyers had a few words to say, all the railroad representatives had Borne sugg?rions to offer and al most all the council wanted to talk. As a result of this something like one hour was conrumcd. GRIEF STRICKEN AND HOPELESS Is Way People of York County Were Found In Hail Stricken Belt ' The hall stricken section of York county is a wilderness of desolation, said W. W. Long, of Clemson College, who was here yesterday. Mr. Long states that he mudo an official vi*?* there on behalf of tho government, and that ho never wishes to witness an other such harrowing spectacle. ' A strip 23 mi lep long and four miles in width on an average was absolutely ruined. Even' the trees were stripped on bare of foliage as if it were mid winter. Chickens, hogs and even cnt-|,j tie were killed. John T. F.oddey, pres ident of the Rock Hill chamber of commerce, had 17 head of red Pole cattle, the big, strong beef c^attlo,?*mri 11 of them were pelted to death by the hali. One full grown cow had tak en refuge In a gully and when she was found dead she was completely cover ed with hell, with the exception of the tip ?f her hose. One piece of sloping land of several acres was covered to a depth of 4 1-2 feet with hail, and In one gulley, 13 feet deep, the hail had drifted fa' the very top of the gully. Nothing like It had ever been heard of la this conn try. There was a severe wind storm and as one old lady expressed if in a j tearful manner, "the wind oven blew the furrows away," and Inde?d 'the furrows were tilled even with th? rows In the field. Mr. Long stated that in all. of this r.cene bf. desolation he and others went among the people trying to cheer them up, to give them heart And it was a most affecting situation. The people were absolutely cruehed, dazed and hopeless. . They, know not wh? tt?-ao. tn hearljr every home 'be r faniity?s were gathered in tears.
