STORM DAMAGES LEE COM
HAIL AND WIND SWEEPS OVER
WESTERN SECTION.
Crop* Badly Cut up?Considerable
Trouble In Hlshopvlllp, Where
Lightning Strikes Number of
Houses.
Bishopvllle, June 16.?Last night
the whole western section of Lee
county was visited by one of the most
severe wind, electric and ball atorma
in its history. In the town of Blshop
ville quite a lot of damage was done
to the electric wires and six or more
houses were struck by lightning,
knocking down chimneys and tearing
some of them up considerably. No
one waa killed or Injured.
The section of the county known as
Spring Hill waa bit by a terrible bail
storm and wind of cyclonic propor?
tions and quite a number of outhouses
were blown down. From the state
menta of realdenta here this morning
from that township the crops were
well nigh totally destroyed by the
hall. One man said the hall was dif?
ferent from the usual kind, in that,
instead of being in lumps, it was in
large flat pieces, in some coses as
large as a man's band, and that the
cotton and corn where hit were cut
away as smooth as if done with a
scythe.
This section of the county is inhab?
ited by a sturdy, hard working, thrifty
?lass of white people, who are depen?
dent upon their farms exclusively and'
always, as was the case this year,
their crops are in tine condition and
well advanced in alzc and the damage
In this section is estimated as veiy
considerable.
Olvlng an Idea of the tremendous
fall of hall, one man reports that a
window was blown out of his dining
room and that the hall came inside
of the room to the depth of six or
eight Inches.
A conservative estimate of the dam?
age done in Leo county is $25,000.
this being based upon the supposi?
tion that the crops heat down will
come out and make something.
The most fortunate part of the
whole story is that as far as can he
learned no one lost their lives and no
one was seriously Injured.
In the sections of the county where
there was no wind or hail the rains
came aa a moat welcome relief from
a drought of over seven weeks' dura?
tion.
COLUMBIA WINS OAME.
Defeats Locals by Score of 7 to 3 Yes?
terday.
In a game of ball yesterday after?
noon the Columbia Athletics defeated
the Sumter Y. M. C. A. team by the
score of 7 to 3. A good crowd saw
the game and did good rooting for the
locals. ?
Columbia scored first in the first in?
ning and later on hits, getting two
doubles In one Inning. The Sumter
team played good bull but was un?
able to hit. The Columbia team got
ten hits off Parker, while only three
were securod from Kelly. The Colum?
bia intlcld played a good game.
Batteries: Columbia, Kelly and
Greet; Sumter, Parker and Thomas.

A FEW SKILLFUL TOUCHES.
may lie all that a wheel needs to make
it right. Wo give them without trying
to make a big job of repairing out of
it. So don't tinker with your bicycle
when it gets out of whack. The more
you tinker, the bigger chance you
have of making things worse Instead
of better. Bring t here and have It
fixed right at once.
