Rain and Rail Storm.

On last Wednesday evening a ire
mendous rain and hail storm swept
over the 8th district of this county.
The fall of hail was immense, and
is described by those who saw it as
terrific, covering an area ofabout >!
square miles. Two clouds seemed
to have met just over the locality,
one from the southeast and
another from southwest, and the
force of the collision seemed to
break assunder the flood-gates which
held back the destructive deluge.-
The effects of the storm were terri
BILE, the hail literally stripping the
cotton of every vestige of leaf and
limb, and bending and breaking
corn in a ruinous manner. On the
place Of Mr.. Buchanan, the rain fell
in such torrents that grown hogs
were drowned in dry lots, and chick
ems foated about the yard on sea
of water. On the following farms
the cotton and corn crops are liter
ally ruined:
Freeman Birdsong, r. c. Buch-
anan, Thos. G. Paine, Jno. II. Bird
song, r. J. Brunson, r. Wommack,
Frank Allen and j. P. Baugh. Ma
ny others are seriously damaged by
the rain and hail. Some of the
parties are blowing up their cotton
crop and planting corn or grasses.
1t is very fortunate that the storm
was confined to a small portion Of
the county, for if it had been gener-
al the result would have been terri
bic, and the prospects of a good
crop that are now so favorable
would have been blighted and the
hopes and fortunes Of many ruined.
The farmers of that section are rap
idly seeking to repair the damages
sustained.

An Immense Yield.

An estimate of the grape crop at
the vineyard of NIessrs. Cox d Dun
lap was made a few days ago by
several gentlemen who understand
the nature and culture Of grapes,
and their opinions upon the subject
may be accepted as approXimating
the truth. The estimate was placed
at $4,000 pounds to the acre. This
will be an immense yield, and in
view OF the fact that Southern crops
Of grapes ripen some three weeks
earlier than those of the North, aud
are consequently in the market first,
they viii bring a good price, which,
1T the lowest estimate, cannot be
less than 90 cents, possibly 40 cents.
But even placing the yield from the
y acres in question at 10000 pounds
per acre and the price at 90 cents,
the crop will net the proprietors
$4,000. This is a strong argument
in favor Of grape culture in the
South, and speaks well for the en-
terprise of Messrs. Cox d Dunlap.

The BxDosifios,

Enough great interest is mani
tested in the anticipated success Of
the approaching Exposition, and
strenuous efforts being made to
render success doubly sure, vet it
is necessary that those engaged in
the good work should have a word
of encouragement occasionally. and
have continually presented before
them the Importance Of the part
they are expected to take in this
grand enterprise and the credit
that shall rebound to them for their
zeal and interest manifested in q
project which cannot fail to shower
upon our county and town the bles-
sings Of fame and prosperity. We
wish each of our readers to take to
himself what we say. We are talk
ing to you Individually, sir. You.
Iou are on a committee. The du-
ties of that committee and Of the
individuals composing it are clearly
defined, and it is expected of you
as an individual that you lend vo,,r
earnest, zealo"- cooperation. Come
up to your duty yourself, and 9th !
ers Initiating your example will give
an assistance which could not other
wise be obtained, and thus your
labors bear double fruits. You un-
derstand the Importance of making
this Exposition a success, and you |
cannot hope to escape your part of
the odium, if through your instru-
mentality and influence the attempt
is failure. You, each one of you, |
members Of any committee, individ-
ually, personally, singly, YOU are
called upon to work, and now the
season approaches, is at hand, for
you to put your shoulder to the
wheel. VIII you do it? Ay, we
know you will with q right good |
win, and when all have come up in
and put in their aid /
we may expect a grand success.

Ancient Document.

which Pulaski is situated, drawn and
signed by James Madison, Presi-

ward THIN, Commissioner OF the
General Land Office, on Nov, 18th,
1912. The deed was found in some
old papers in the County Court
Clerks Office, and is considerably
soiled, though being drawn on
parchment it is not worn or other
wise injured.* 1t is interesting to
look at this ancient paper and see
the name Of the President Il 1912

on our fathers the wilderness up
on which at the present day stands
houses Of which their imagination
never dreamed.

which place was situated the General
