School Building Is
Wrectyfcd by Tornado
Every House in Branchville Damaged
by Windstorm.—Crops Beaten
Down by Hail.
Branchville, May 20.—Branchville
was hit by one of the worst tornadoes
and hail stoims in its history at 3 o'
clock today. The storm came up sud
denly and cut a path one-half mile
wide through the middle of the town.
The Branchville high and graded
school building was almost completely
demolished. The roof and desks were
blown several hundred feet. A negro
church and negro lodge hall were blown
down and twenty-five homes were day school 1 rooms of the Baptist and
badly damaged. Practically- every
home in the town was damaged by
water and hail stones.
Glass windows were broken or blown
out and roads made impassable from
uprooted trees and pbtesT Telegraph
am! electric wires were blown down.
School had turned out about an
hour before the storgi hit or several
children would have been killed or in
jured.
All crops and gardens yi the storm’s
path were completely destroyed. The
estimated cost of damage to build
ings alone is $50,000. It is almost im
possible to estimate the loss to crops
and gardens.
Supt. N. L. Lynch anounced tonight
that school would continue as arrange
ments had been made to use the Sun-

The State tax commission Saturday
had already issued licenses to two
whcleale liquor dealers, and had be
fore it applications for seven other
wholesale licenses, and II applications
for retail licenses, F. C. Robinson,
commissioner in charge of enforce
ment, announced.
Mr. Robinson explained that these
figures represented- persons who had
actually made formal applications—<■
persons and firms which had written
for application forms or indicated di
rectly that they would file applications
in the near future.
■ . ■ . ~. ■ »• •
He announced that wholesale licen
ses had been issued McKissen-Murray,
of Columbia, application No. 1, and
Southern Liqubr Distributing corpora
tion, of Columbia.
Other concerns which have filed for
mal application for wholesale dealers’
licenses are the following: DuPre
Distributing company, of Columbia,
Mbffatt BV DuPre', president;" Colum
bia Liquor Distributors, Inc., Simon
Faust, pres.; V. Chicco of Chailest-
tcn; Piedmont Liquor Distributors, of
Greenville; W. A. Renken, of Charles
ton, and E. C. Hayes, of Spartanburg,
applicants; W. A. Renken, of Charles
ton; Dixie Wholesale Liquor company,
Spartanburg, O. T. Gallman, presi
dent; Starr Distributing company, of
Columbia, R. T. Rosemond, president.
Those who have-applied for retail
licenses are as follows: Jefferson hotel,
Columbia, applicant No. 1; Wilson and
Yarborough, Chester; J. R. Wallace,
1227 Taylor street, Columbia; Pendle
ton and Thomason, Clover; Geo. A'.
Averinos, Union; C. P. Ashley, Ware
Shoals; James P. Curtis, 1207 Gervais
street, Columbia; O. P. Dozier, Rock
Hill; D. Lewis Husbands, Florence;
Allen Frarricfitf^Thomas, 432 Lincoln'
street, Columbia; John T. Givens, 352
Hampton street, Columbia.
The two licenses which have already
been issued to wholesale concerns are
elated May 20, which prohibited the
sale of liquors previous to that day.
Mr. Robinson said no retail licenses
had been issued so far. None will be
issued before May 27, he explained.
Considerable delay in getting appli
cations considered is being brought
about in many cases, he said, because
the application forms are improperly
filled out. In many cases vital infor
mation is omitted entirely, necessitat
ing that the applications be returned
The commissioner said the work of
getting applications through could
be greately expedited if applicants
would make sure that all the neces
sary information was accurately fur
nished.—The State, May 19.
