Gaffney, who vis ited the districts where the severe hail storm was last week, we learn that the destruction was much worse than is generally known. The crops on the farms of the following named gentlemen are totally destroyed: Austin Turner, Joe Vlnesett, Jim Tom Allison, Forest Ellis, Sam Sar- ratt; Shields Allison. Perry Jones, J. T. Splawn and Alfred Turner. Elisha Ellis and Romulus Ellis had a large part of their crops destroyed, and John Pete and Press Pete, colored renters, had their entire dependence swept away from them. All of these people are well-known, honest and reliable citizens and are deserving of any assistance that may be offered them. The above information came to us just before going to press and we ask the g<x»d people of the city and county to go to the assistance of these worthy unfortunate people. Any Contributions left with The Ledger will be placed in bands that will see that these sufferers get them. An Error. Upon erroneous information, we stated in our issue of Wednesday that the finishing mill of the Gaffney Manufacturing Company had shut down until the new crop would be gathered, while the fact is, that the finishing mill is running right on, turning out its beautiful goods the same as it has been doing every day since it began operations.
