Please allow me space in your
paper, in l>chalf of myself and family,
to extend heartfelt thanks to
our many dear friends who in so
many ways manifested their kindness

more kind and sympathetic than

Caster Concert at episcopal
Church.
The childrcns' Easter concert at 4
p. m. was a revelation in allowing
how perfectly they had been
trained in singing and religious
recitations. All dressed in white
and with radiant faces they did
their parts with a wonderful precision
and grace, doing credit to
themselves and to their teachers,
Mrs. Shannonhousc and the organist
Mrs. Robert Bolick. For missions
the children gave $18. The
morning collections for the Parish
building fund amounted to over
$40.? CONTKIBUTEI).

, Much Damage and
Destruction of
Property-- No.
Lives Lost.
Wednesday afternoon about <?
o'clock a terrific storm struck the
town, coming from a little north of
west. Union cotton mill No. 2.,
known as the big mill sustained the
greatest damage. While the wind
was blowing from the west, yet it
whipped round and struck the southwest
wall of the mill, tore a section
of the l'oof off and three-fourths of
the end wall of the fourth story fell
inside on the floor, leaving about
one-fourth of the extreme east end
of the. wall standing. Mr. John
Campbell, who was nearest the falling
wall, was the only one hurt.
He is badly bruised and may have
sustained internal injuries. It is a
miracle how more were not hurt,
not only by the falling wall, but in
the general stampede down the
stairway. A rush and crush was
calculated to cause loss of life and
broken limbs. Miss Kid was run
over and was painfully hurt but not
seriously. There were no houses
of the mill operatives blown down.
The large oak tree that stood near
the cotton office on Enterprise street
was blown down across the street.
The storm seemed to lift itself from
there passing over a great many
houses and struck Bethel church on
\ lrginstreet on opposite side of street
from Mr. J. J. l'urcell's residence.
The church was a wooden building
and is a complete wreck. It looks
as if the tower was first blown down
on to the roof, mashing the roof in,
then the stfle walls fell in and the
timbers torn and scattered, tangled
and broken into a ruined heay.
Several large trees were blown
down on the Hill lot and the graded
school campus and on Mountain
street iti front of Mr. L. J. Haines'
residence. The chimneys of Mr.
L. J. Hames' residence were blown
down and the roof badly injured,
so much so that the rain flooded his
house. Then the wind seemed to
lift again, passing many houses until
it reached Monarch mill where
it blew-down the old church, being
well spent. We hear of 110 more
damage.
Certainly the freaks of nature's
storms baffles theorists, philosophers
and sound rcasoners. We are
truly thankful that no more damage
was done and no lives lost. It is
difficult at this time to give exact
amount of damage in money value.
The Monarch and Bethel churches
arc complete wrecks and cost about
$1,(MX) and 81200 respectively.
The cotton mill building can be
repaired for $350. The machinery
damage may reach $3,000, for eight
spinning frames were damaged by
falling brick. The roof fortunately
was blown on top of the remaining
part and not a timber fell inside.
The mill resumed work next morn
ing at the usual hour, and the
spinning room on top ttoor presented
si novel sight running with part
of the end missing but is now being
repaired by a full force of
hands.
Joseph Jefferson is Dead.
Joe Jelferson the best known actor
on the stage in the world, died
Sunday night in his Florida home,
after a lingering illness of several
months. He was well and familiarly
known as champion performer
of "Rip Van. Winkle," and was often
called "old Rip." He took the
character out of Washington Irvingis
story where it had stood for
yetfTs typifying quaintness and
charm and fantasy in American
literature, and breathed into it the
vitality of a genius smitten interpretation
.
He sleeps a longer and we hope a
more peaceful sleep than did old
Rip whom he personated so droll
and real.
