ELLIOTT TELLS OF HAVOC WROUGHT IN HORRY COUNTY RECENTLY The terrific tornado which recently wept sections of Horry county leavtiff death and destruction in i'.s wake 5 here graphically described by R. P hliott. a farmer living on the plantaion of E. M. Meares, apparently -.he cint of greatest damage. "I was out in the yard," said Mr, Elliott, "shortly before the tornadc ame. I am naturally uneasy upon he approach of a storm and thought t best to get out and look around a it. My wife and two boys were ir he house. "It grew blacker ar.d darker until t was almost as dark as nighi., anc oon in the woods across the field ehind the house 1 heard th? most ar.-h and shrieking noise I had card in all my life. I was too torified at first to know what was hapening and almost believed judgment ay was at hand. "I ran to the house and shouted tc :y wife and children to come out Ye started for the other big oper ol.I awns< tlir> rnnd in front of th( ouse. Just at that moment a Fort ur came into sight. The drive: eemed to be trying to outrun the torm and was racing along at a high peed. "'Get out! Get out!' I shout?d, unertaking frantically to wave hinr own. At first he paid no attentior o me, probably unable to undestam rhat I said for the r.oise in the woods 'hen he seemed to understand his duller and scarcely waiting to stop the nachine jumped from it. "By that time the wind was clearng the woods. It came shrieking nd whirling across the field, a clou< f foliage, branches and dirt in it.mbrace. My wife ami children ant lyself were in the big field across the oad by this time. We ran as fasl 3 we could, hardly knowing where ;e were going or what we were doing Ve became separated and I trippec nd fell. "The storm was upon us by thi: ime. The noise was deafening?? hrashing, splintering, rending anc earing filled the air. Boards anc lanks, stove wood, bits of clothing nd all sorts of things sailed overead. I tried to rise but the violence f the wind hurled me to the grounc s if I had been a fluttering autumr ;af. My wife and children, too, were own. "1 buried my face in the dirt, execting each minute to be the last "or the life of me I couldn't say how )ng the storm lasted. My anxiety nd fright were such that I was unble to think. Then the storm passed Everything was quiet one*1 more ami he stillness seemed almost deathly fter the hubbub. "What a sight greeted my eyes a* looked around. With the exceptior f the kitchen and dining r%om, my ome was a complete wreck?literally ivisted into bits. As I looked upon his heap of debris, I thought of what rould have happened to my winfe anc hildren if they had been inside. "They were coming toward me?my :ife and two boys?from their burows in the field and apparently unijured. This at least was comfortig "The Ford car had been lifted out f the road and dropped over in the eld. Part of Mr. Meares's bam was one. An apple tree in the field hac een uprooted. Over in the woods rhence the tornado had come, a well efined path could be seen. The tops f pine trees had been snapped, oaks ent and broken and branches striped of their foliage. "John Floyd's house just a little ay down the road was a snapeless ile of splintered timber. And from I realized for the first time, came iteous cries for help. It was John's ife. I could tell her voice. "By this time people began to col?ct. Some of them came from the ig house and some of them came rom up the road. We all went to Irs. Fioyd's h#!p. Pretty soon anther woman's voice started up and omebody said it was Mrs. Sam ones, sister-in-law to Mrs. Floyd. "We found that the two women ere pinned under a piece of the roof, .fter a while we got them out. They ere badly bruised up and about ora y from fright. "Mrs. Floyd bean to scream: Vhere is my baby: Where is little rancis! He was on the bed with s.' We began to look for her-little four ear old adopted son and before long ound him caught under some timber, le was still and quiet and we feared or the worst. Sure enough the life ad been chrushed out of him. "We began to discuss the extent of he damage on the place. Levi Elott's house was lifted unharmed off he pillars, somebody said. Fletcher ausey's house is gone and so is lhancey Sugg's, somebody else inarmed the crowd. "It was learned soon that little v Flossie Elliott, daughter of Mrs. DolIie Elliott, who lived not far away, ! was badly hurt. Gcmery Causey and i Russ Mincie, men on the place, were also reported injured. So a doctor was sent for at Nichols, a town about, ; seven miles away. "And this afternoon," stated Mr. , Elliott, winding up his account cf the, tragedy, "the only actual casualty, I . I have heard of so far is little Francis . Jones, although the wife of Liston Goodyear, a negro man, livnig overj the branch, is in a mighty bad way. j . Her legs are chrushed and they have ; , taken her to the hospital in Mullins." j i o !

(By Frank L. Stantcn, in the Atlanta I i Constitution.) J There's lots of music in cm'?the . j hymns of long ago, J And when some gray-haired brother j sings the ones I used to know I sorter want to take a hand?I think of days gone by? "On Jordan's stormy banks I stand , I and cast a wistful eye!" j There's lots of music in 'em?those: dear, sweet hymns of old, I With visions bright of lands of light ; and shining streets of gold; j And I hear 'em ringing?singing ( where memory dreaming stands, ! "From Greenland's icy mountains to? India's coral strands." . | They seem to sing forever of holier. j sweeter days, | When the lillies 'of the love of God f i bloomed white in all the ways; ! 'And I want to hear their music from ; the old-time meetin's rise I Till "I can read my title clear to man(j sions in the skies." '' We never needed singin' books in them old days?we knew j The words, the tunes cf every one? the dear old hymn book through! . j We did'nt have no trumpets then, no organs built for show, I We only sang to praise the Lord "from whom all blessings flow." ' An' so I love the good old hymns and when my time shall come? I Before the light has left me, and niy singing lips are dumb? 1, If I can hear 'em sing them then, I'M pass without a sigh To "Canaan's fair and happy land, where my possessions lie." - o In Memoriam. BAGGETT.?In loving remembrance J of our darling mother, Maria Lane: Baggett. Died May 31, 1920. 1. jYou ask us why we're downcast, Why we whisper one sweet name? (Only those who lost a mother 1 Know our anguish and pain. J 2.. Time cannot heal our wounded hearts, j Or fill the vacant chair; We miss your dear, kind, smiling face, We miss you, mother, everywhere. 3. We ofter sit and think of you, When we are all alone, Fcr memory is the only thing That grief can can its own. 4. Days of sadness still come o'er us; I Tears of sorrow silently flow; Fond memory keeps our mother near us, Though Heaven claimed her one year ago.
