we are informed that Major Twiggs, who

Valley Railroad, is now working a force Of
one hundred and fifty or two hundred
hands, and by the first of July said force
VIII be increased to three hundred or more

to completion.
Greenville writhes, and squirms, and
wriggles because she is no longer the pet
of the Air Line and Greenville Railroads.
For number of years she was given an
advantage over ail the towns in the up.
country, and during that time she pros
pered greatly. Now that that advantage
is no longer enjoyed, she pouts and whincs
like spoiled and petted child and the
reasonable conclusion is that she is afraid
she cannot hold her own with her competi.

On Saturday last about IL o'clock storm
of wind and rain struck this place with
considerable fury, and continued for about
twenty minutes. For awhile it looked as
though we were going to have tornado,
and there was great uneasiness until the
storm subside3. A large number Of trees
were blown down in different parts Of the
city, but otherwise little damage was done.
The track Of the storm was seven or eight
miles wide, and in many sections of the
county, we regret to learn, considerable
damage was done to the growing crops by
heavy fall of hail. In the lower edge of
the county number of houses were de-
molisLed, and in all the course of the storm
trees were blown down by the hundred.
It reached Little River church, just across
the Abbeyille line, at 12A o'clock. where a
large congregation were assembled for wor-
ship, and for fifteen minutes all were in
constant expectation of seeing the house
go to pieces. The most serious damage by
hail was on the farms of Mr.. w. G. Watson
and r. r. Beatty, five or six miles below
this place. Their crops of cotton suffered
most, but with favorable seasons Mr.. Wat
son hopes to make two-thirds Of q crop.
We have not heard what Mr.. Beatty esti-
mates the injury to his crop to be. More
or less damage was done on other farms,
but wc are glad to learn that it was not
serious.
"Tbero is no such place rs the town Of
Anderson, and consequently it has no bus
mess Observation-Disclosures THE last
part of this statement is no news. The first
part is little surprising. We knew that
most OF Anderson was in the woods. but
had not heard of its entire disappearance
before. We shall now expect the speedy
annenrance of notices like this The mail
