The heaviest hail storm know for
many years passed over the South
ern portion of this county last
Thursday week. 1t was about two
miles in width, and went in an cas-
sernly direction. Some of the hail
stones were as large as hen eggs,
and came with such force MS TO break
through the roofs of houses; nearly
all the fowls exposed to the hail
were kilIcd.-IClcburnc Chronicle.

The Central .TsailrOad.

we learn from u gentleman of

is surveying a route east of Horn

Letters and kilograms have been received
here from Georgia which uniformly state
that the people prefer the Senate bill and
military rule under it till next December,
rather than have the Bullock administra-
tion perpetrated another year. The Pres
ident, however, again expressed himself,
yesterday, to members of Congress, against
the Senate bill in such strong terms that
there is bare possibility that if it were
enacted into a law he would veto it. He
said that the Senate bill postponed recon
struction which he was anxious to see
closed up by the admission Of Georgia to
representation in Congress. While he in
Dictated no special plan, his views seemed

We clip the following items from the
Courier Journal
Somebody urges as an objection to the
income tax that "it makes the people a.
nation of liars" This is no sort of an OBJ
lection in the eyes of Congress, a majority
of whose members are too busily engaged
in stealing to care how much the nation is
addicted to lying.
The Evening Journal is the name of a
paper which has just been started at WASH
ington for the purpose of calling everybody
u liar and a scoundrel who doesn't want to
see the infamous S. j. Bowen reelected
Mayor of that unhappy city.
Congress has appropriated $25O,O00 to
enlarge He'll Gate. A strange appropria-
ton, certainly. Why, the majority of
Congress will 60 through that gate, even
though two hundred and fifty millions
should be spent in stopping it up.
"Wc should like to know" says the
Camden Express, "what Admiral Porter
thinks of Secretary Robson" Why, hi
thinks, as everybody else does, that Robe
sou knows scarcely enough about naval af
fairs to paddle his own canoe.
Aniexchauge paper says "Mr. Delan'
cannot make laws" Whether he can o
not, he has made a thousand things whicI
the business men of the country are force'
to obey as laws.
The London Times has discovered tina
"the American political system is faulty.
1t is very remarkable that the things wa
never suspected i'll this country.
In its dealings with the Indians the Gov
eminent has never found that honesty
the best policy, for the simple reason tina
the Government has lever tried it.. t}2
The Hartford Post says "Shoo Fly is dy
ing out" We should be glad to kno'
that the author is already dead out.
In 1915 there were eleven daily paper
in Boston. Seven of them are dead, an
three or four more ought to be.

Since the announcement of commission

to be rushing for them, totally regardless
of expense and we should suppose, from
present appearances, that nine-tenths of
our people were each one expecting to
draw the tempting prizes offered. The
enterprise is surely going to be a splendid
success, and from the upright mannerrin
which it is managed, we can truly say that

RELIGIOUS Advertisipg.

A French contemporary gives the fol-
lowing asan accurate account of American
religious customs:
A traveller says the imaginative writer,
who dwell for sometime in acity in South
Carolina, related to me the following in
cideGt: TIE city in question had the
good luckto pQssef twoVeyerend clergy
men, whOhGd Iarta$ed crJedagJinsv breed,
apdEaged A.6egse warfare in their efforts
to draw to their ministrqtiQps qthrqng of
the faithful. One adopted the plan of
seudiuga band Oftwenty musicians through
the streets, with a man at their head bear
ing a banner on which was inscribed, in
letters Of gold, "At noon a great Sermon
on Eternity, by the Rev. DR., Whitebread,,
at the Free Chapel, No. 5 Fifth avenue!'
The idea was triumphant, and succeeded
beyond expectation. Adense crowd gath
cred at the Fifth avenue chapel to receive
the words of truth falling from the lips of
the Reverend Whitehead. ION that day,
his adversary preached to empty peys
but his fertile Imagination soon suggested
