great benefit to trie truck farmers,
dulrymen and poultry raisers living

advantage of the opportunity. For

BRICK WALL BLOWN DOWN.
High Wind Causes Damage on Kan
Ldtbcrty Street.
The wind howled Friday night
windows rattled and houses Nhook
but the only damage done in this cit>
by the wind was caused by the col?
lapse of a brick fire wall on the Rear
don frame building on East Libert)
street. The brick wall fed against i
brick store building on the opposite
side of the alley, leading from Libert}
street to the lot in the rear of the
City Hall and crushed the Hide wal
and roof. The store damaged by th?. j
falling wall was owned b> B. J. Bar
nett and occupied by Cuto's Bicycb
Shop. The damage to the buildini
was quite heavy as the side wall wil
have to be rebuilt and the roof re
paired. Mr. Cato's loss is also quit
heavy, being estl nated at more that
$500. He had a large stock of new
bicycles stacked against the wal
which was crushed, and they ar<
buried in the mass of brick ant.
debria 8ome of the wheels may bi
recovered and repaired, but most o
them appear to be hopeless wrecks.
The Reardon frame store building
which the fire wall protected, was no:
damaged to any great extent.

FAVOR MURRAY'S LANDING.
WillianiHhurg Citizens Oppose Both
Pinckney's Landing and Lenud's
Ferry Bridges.
Kingstree, Jarf. 11.?A meeting held
here a day or two ago in response to
a call issued by T. W. Boyle of Grce
leyville, chairman of the Santee bridge
committee for Wiliamsburg county,
there was a good attendance of repre?
sentative citizens from the section:
most directly interested in the proj
sct. After some little discussion r.
resolution was adopted stating thai
the consensus of opinion of the meet?
ing was that Williamsburg county
will be neither interested in nor
materially benefited by either of th<
'.wo proposed bridges across the San?
tee River as suggested by the State
highway commissioner and the chair?
man of the meeting was requested tc
ascertain from those counties interest
?d in the crossing of Santee River ai
Murray's Ferry and a crossing of Pec
Dee River what amount of money
?an be raised in each of the several
counties so interested, that the mat
l.er may be carried before the Statr
highway commissioner in some defi?
nite shape.
WIRE SERVICE CRIPPLED.
Press Reports Seriously Affected by
the Storm.
Charleston, Jan. 12.?Because ol
.ligh winds in the Southeastern sec
.ion generally, wire service into am.
DUt of Charleston was seriously crip?
pled last night and early this morn
.ng. For hours the Associated Press
?vlre was down, although every effort
.vas being made to set up the circuit
Tho weather bureau was affected b>
i.he prostration of telegraph and long
listance telephone wires at d it was
.tot possible at 1 o'clock this mornim
o give any estimate of damage, not
o suggest the velocity of the wind at
iny of the affected towns.
Southwest storm warnings wer?
hoisted from Miami, Fla., to George
.own, and southeast warnings from
Southport (Wilmington) to Fortres
Monroe. Warnings from Cedar Keys
?la., to Bay St. Louis, Miss., wen
changed to northwest. Warnings foi
the Gulf coast were hoisted from
Tampa to Key West.
Both telegraph companies reporter
lato laat night that they were SSlioUi
y crippled. The long distance servif ?
)t the Bell Telephone Company wa:
badly hampered. From late in th<
afternoon until early this morning
tew wires out of Charleston wen
working, and these did not connec
A-ith the rest of the country.
It is expected that the telegrapl
and telephone linemen will have mos;
)f their prostrated wires up today
and that normal service will bo re
turned during the forenoon. With
the resumption of service it will bt
known what damage was done by tin
=$torm in this section.
The high winds are declared to b
caused by the Western blizzard, whicl
is scheduled to bring another severe
cold wave into this section, the
weather bureau having warned of
this.
For all practical purposes Charles?
ton was isolated last night so far as
wire communication was concerned.
In Charleston for several hours the
wind howled dismally and creaking
shutters and rattling sashes suggested
to householders that a storm was
raging outside. The gusts of wind
picked up the rain and drove it In
sheets, making umbrellas worthless.
Street cars wormed slowly along, the
Consolidated company, explaining that
the rails had sweated.
