20 persons and causing great damage to
property.
It appears that the rainfall last night was
the worst ever known in that part of the
state. Shawnee Run, which runs through
portions of the town, rose to an unprece-
dented height and from fifty to a hundred
buildings were swept from their foundations
and the inmates suddenly found themselves
helpless in the angry flood. A resCuiug party
have recovered tWsnty-four bodies. 1t is
estimated that number more will be found.
The storm IS described as the most disas-
UcOus ever known on the Little Miami rail-
road.
The nearest approach any train cOUldmake
to the city was three miles. The bridges are
all washed away and IN places the track is
also taken. Trees are blown down, fences
destroyed and crops ruined. 1t viii require
several days to repair the damage to the
railroad.
AT Dayton, o., a terrible storm ragged
causing great destruction OF property, but
no lives were lost. Crops Of all Kinds are

Dwellings were twisted from their founda-
tons and great destruction was wrought at
Shaker village, three miles east.

Dry Goods Reporter,
The following story is told Of an en-
terprising New York jObber, the events
having taken place some years ago: The
merchant in question, having heard of
the arrival of a country trader who was
known to be a large purchaser and Of IN
questionable credit, was resolved to get
him to visit his establishment, and, once
there, he felt sure he could secure him as
a customer. He accordingly sent out
one Of his drummers, OF whom he had
quite a number, adapted to every taste
and disposition. The one sent however,
returned without success. No 2 was
dispatched, with no better success, and
again No. 3, and so on, until all had
gone and come back without their man.
The merchant now determined to 90
himself, and finding that brandy and
water and free tickets to the theater
was Of no avail, for the country trader
did not take one or 60 to the other, he
was reduced 10 the necessity Of employ
ing ruse, which, as the sequel shows,
was simple as well as effectual. On tax
ing his departure, after q pleasant inter
view. the merchant took care to commit
the mistake" Of taking the traders hat
instead Of his OWL Next morning, as
was expected, the merchant received a
prompt visit at his store from the country
trader, who called to look up the hat
which he supposed had been hurriedly
exchanged This was what the mer-
chant wanted, and through this means
sold a good bill OF goods and secured q
regular customer.

KANSAS CIrT, No, May IL.-About 1O.8O
O'Clock this morning storm clouds began
gathering over the city. The first appear
anc6 was IN the northeast, and. surglng
westward across the city, turned suddenly
about IA their course, and descending rapid
lys broke upon the city. The wind and rain
swept all lighter objects before them. The
darkness was almost like might, and the PEG
pie ned to the nearest shelter, with blanch-
ed faces from the storm The clouds
seemed to Craze the roofs OF the highest
buildings, and poured forth their appar-
emily solid masses for a time.
TIE STORM STRUCK THE CITY
IN full force about II a. m, and ragged half
an hour The streets were running rivers Of
water, carrying boxes, signs and other sim
liar freight blown from the buildings, or
swept up by the Hood. A number of V6hi-
cles were overturned and in numerous in
stances the drivers abandoned the horses to
their fate and sought refuge IN stores and
houses. Some hail accom- panied the storm,
but the fall was not great. Otherwise the
loss to property would have been great from
the water streaming IN at the broken win
dOWs. AS it was the windows IN quite
number OF the larger buildings were blown
IN and the goods and furniture soaked.
All this appeared insignificant when the full
extent OF the destruction wrought by the
storm became known.
The LathrOp school building, occupied a
prominent site on the corner of Eighth and
May street. lit consisted of the main build
ing to which an east wing had been added.
The building has been in danger by the
tower, which for some time has been con
sIdered unsafe. 1t has been twice CONDEMNED,
once within a few weeks, but no action had
been taken in the matter. This morning the
building was crowded with children, many
of whom was nearly frantic with fear over
the appalling darkness and the stiffness
which preceded the tempest. The wind
swept madly across Broadway from the west
and seemed to concentrate its force in a de-
scent upon the tower which yielded with a
crash and carrying down the heavy bell
crushed through the floor to the basement

HORRIBLE DEATHS.

XEEIA, o., May 13-In the midst Of the
storm, about 10 O'Clock last night, the fire
bells rang out their wild alarm. No great
number of people responded, but directly
the second alarm brought out the whole
town. 1t was soon learned that Shawnee
creek, that heretofore harmless little stream,
was out of its banks and sweeping every
thing before it. Standing on the banks Of
this mighty stream, in the rain and dark
ness 1t was an appalling situation. There
was no hight, and above the roar of the an
cry waters and the flashing lightning and
thunder, came the cry for help from the
drowning people. Men rushed from the
shore into the stream. Others ran in other
directions for ropes, ladders, lights and
boats. At the corner of Detroit and Water
streets a bonfire of store boxes, kept up with
coal oil, was built, and nine persons were
rescued from the FirgusOn house, and also
some people from the old Heaton house. At
the Main street bridge the terrible tide
had fairly piled the debris Of ruined houses
IN an awful mass, among which several dead
bodies were found this morning.
O. Morris, wife and seven children lived
in a little frame house on Second street. It
was raised from ITS mOoring and dOated to-
wards the main stream. Cries came from
it. and a man was seen at the window with
a light, when it was smashed, partly sink
ing. The light went over and all was still.
Mr.. Morris and his family had met their
awful fate. Afterwards two of his little
boys were rescued alive clinging to the de-
bris, down the creek.

a Word to Farmers.

IF the farmers ever needed their
thinking caps on, now is the time.
The year has been disastrous in
many respects. What promised. to
be fair wheat crop was cut short by
excessive rains and the quality Of
the grain is poor. Many Of the oats
were injured in the fields. In the
middle and lower part Of the county
there is no corn on the lowIands.
High up on the Pacolcts where the
rains were lighter, there is half
crop on the streams. Much OF the
uplands were only half cultivated in
consequence Of the excessive rains.
From the 4tll Of May until the mid
die Of August there has been the
greatest amount Of rain that has
fallen in crop time within the memory
of any person living. The lands aro
badly washed. Even where the soil
was broken four to six inches, the
hard clay shows in many places.
Broad washes sweep across the fields.
Terraces and upland bitches only
served to concentrate the water and
make it more effective in washing the
land. The hay on the streams has
been washed down and ruined with
mud Such is the condition Of affairs
on this the first day Of September,
1886. 1t is well for tlc farmers TO
look squarely at their real condition.
SO as to devise the best plans for iu,
turc work. A few suggestions may
not be out Of order.
|. Save all the hay possible. Along
the branches and creeks may be
found little patches Of native grasses
that, if properly cured, will make
fair hay. 1t will be much better
than paying $1.25 for Northern hay.
Then much of the crab. grass will DO
to cut this month This is pretty
straining on the land, but it gives
good forage.
2. Sow rye and barley for pasture
and so;ling. If your lot is very rich
put in barley at the rate Of two to
three bushels to the acre. This will
come on early and will do to cut
twice and then make seed. Rye will
do well on on rich lots maxim" an
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1886-09-08


mado the farmers purchased largely
from foreign companies at high
prices, as tho statement of prices
shows, because tho claim was made
that they wore superior to our homo
products; but whom both were sub
jccted to analytical tests, and it was
then shown that there was no differ
once in their agricultural value, the
price Of all declined and the sales of
our homo companies incrcascd; the
total sales increasing from $4,000
tons in 1880 to 10000 tons in 1850.
The decline in prices cannot be at
tributed to the lowcr price Of cotton,
because this decline is only about rs
por cent, while the average decline
in the price of commercial fcrtil-
zors is 33 per cont. Neither is il
due to competition, because, as al
ready shown, tho number of manu-
tacturers doing business in the State
in 1888 was less than in 1880.
Carrying these figures Il little fur
ther: It is shown that ammoniatrd
fertilizers arc $3.50 per ton lower
than in 1880, and acid phosphatcs
Sl1.60 per ton. If the smallest pos
sible estimate Of the effect of the de-
partmcnt's work in lowering the
prices is allowcd-say 81 per ton
it represents an actual annual saving
of over 100000 Il year or
Sfo,O00 a year above the OH
tire expenses of the department.
When the department began its
work, there was a large number Of
dealers who shipped in small lot Of
goods every season, and these ma
nurcs were almost always fraudulent.
The sales o''e no,c rracticaliy confned
TO reliable manufacturers rho are re-
sponsidte for their guarontees. The
department has, therefore, aided ma
terially in building up a great home
industry, while atfording protection
to the consumers of fertilizers.
1t is an easy thing to criticisc, it
is another to perform. 1t is easy
to destroy, but difficult to build up.
The gentlemen engaged in the
active work Of the Department
have devoted all Of their time and
energy and whatever Of talent they
may have to making it a benefit to
the State. IF they have failed of.
their purpose let tho people say SO,
but not until they have examined its
work, and it should certainly not bc
denounced upon the oncsidcd charges
of an Interested individual.
In conclusion let me add that |
cannot here enter into discussion
of the extra work of the Department,
but we have published a pamphlet
fully setting this forth, and I shall
be glad to mail copy Of ii to any Of
your readers.
