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.

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.
