spring over last spring.

~e'bSChs Iii lulS DlaLO,
main body of tho storm seems
TO have passed over portions of Ak
on, Edgcficd, Abbcville, Newberry,
Fairfield, Chester, Darlington, Clar-
endon and Lancaster counties, and
passing on through North Carolina,
found an outlet to tho ocean ut Capo
H"ttcrns. Five negroes were killed
in ono house in Aiken county, and
many buildings wero blown down.
In Darlington tho destruction to life
and property was very great six
persons being killed outright and
fifteen or sixteen wounded. In
Chester, tho damage to property
amounts to $40 900, but no lives lost.
There wcro two distinct tornadoes
in the eastern part IF tho State, both
moving from Southeast to Northwest
One struck Chester at 7 =. Nj. and
the other Darlington at 1890 p. Nj.
Notes o: the storm como from vari>
GUS places. Passengers on the Will
mington, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad saw where tho tornado had
crossed tho track cutting n swnth
through the forest and actually strip
ping the bark from tho pino trees
along tho edge Of its track.
Near Blackstocks, Fairfield Coun-
ty, house was blown down and Il
lady killed. A young lady who was
also in the house was wounded and
blown some distance. 1t is report
ed that scvcra! negroes were killed
in Fairfield county and that twenty
negro houses woro blown down on
ono plantation
AT ChappelI's Station, Newberry
County, overy house was blown
down and man named Shuford WAS
killed. A Car loaded with molasses
was lifted from the track and thrown
thirty feet.
In Williamsburg County house
occupied by q family named Hur-
rlngton was wrecked and all it's oc-
cupants injured.
Near Manning two persons wcro
killed. Below Manning the track
of the tornado was threo hundred
yards wido ard every thing won't
down before the wind. The roofs OF
houses in Winnsboro' suffered con-
siderably, but no great damage was
done.
The tornadoes did not touch Rock
Hill, Florence, Spartanburg or
Greenville.
Reports from tho Charlotte road
between Columbia and Augusta
show that there was very heavy
fall of hail along tho line. A report
comes from Lexington that in that
county a dwelling house was blown
down, it's occupants barely escaping
death. In tho Fork. of Lexington
houses and trees were blown down.
Columbia has been as fortunate az
she was last spring, when two tor
nadoes circled the city and did not
touch her. There was no hail there
and no damage from the wind.
In North Carolina the damage to
life and property was very great.
Only a small section of THE Coun.
ty was visited by the storm. 1t
seoms to have passed ovor to the
neighborhood OF Loopers before com.
ing to the ground. Our correspond.

Birmingham Age endorses this fully,
and says that il is of vital importance
TO elect congressman who are in ia

Selma (Alabama) Times regrets that
the Tariff issue should havo taken
this shape, aud fears that thoro will
