The Fifth Lnrircsl in Hie ("nlted States N it U I'rakils Head m* ( olouj. The Greek colony at Spartnuburg ranks as one of the largest in the United States. These thrifty Latins are past masters of fruit handling business and make money In a busi ness that would ruin an ordinary bus iness man in about 48 hours, as a line stock of goods may be rotten in less time than that. a letter was recently mailed In Sparta, Greece, addressed to a Greek, giving ohly His name and under i! the It tiers "U. S. A.", no city 01" town or even state being given. The b t ter was delivered to n Spartanburg Greek by Carrier .lerome Gaffney. The Cnited States post oil'ee depart ment first sent tiie letter to the largest Greek colony in this country, and. when the inan was not there, to the next highest and then on .'.own to Spartanburg, which Was the fifth largest in iho Cnited. States, where the Gieek to whom tlie letter was ad dressed was located. Phe Spartanburg colony embraces not only the Greeks who live here, but those who live In all the surround ing towns. S'b l< Tracas Is tiie head of the coloiiy and his word is law. Kvory Greek in upper South Carolina looks to him for orders and obeys him. Any Greek in the hunch would pick up ai d return to Greece at a word from Nick Tracas. It is a pretty safe statement to say that no Creek could make a living in tin: territory occu pied by ihis colony if Tracas objected to his remaining here. However, there is no knowledge that such au thority has ever I i en used in an arbi trary manne:- and .Mr. Tr.ikas has made bin.self -. ..,.<?? and useful lead er to his fellow countrymen, being hlmscll a man of unusual business ability. These (Fecks are ir.es: polite in denlitig with the public, end even thos-3 with a very limited knowledge of the English language have ,\ way of understanding enough of their cus tomers' wishes to supply what i> wanted. And there is never any doubt that they know enough of Kt;^ liSli and values to avoid letting any body p.. t the best of I he Hi in It trade. ?S ps; rt a lib it :*g J bit rnal. II Vit.

According to the statements of these gcntlcmi n, the storm lasted over ten minutes and the hail was accompanied by nitich wind.
