the choice was made by the Legislature, IN
others electors were chosen by districts, but
more generally by the voters of the whole

A TERRIFIC STORM.
Houses Demolished--The Main Track
Of the Storm Fifty Yards Wide.

HAMILTON, n. c., Dec z. A
terrific storm or tornado passed
from EdGecombe through upper
Martin to-day. AT Goose Neck it
tore down Z-b " hitehur>t's GIN
house and demolished Hitch's lum-
Der sheds where they kept large
quantities of lumber, and smashed q
locomotive that was standing under
the shed. At otner places houses
were unroofed and trees swept
| down. The main track of tho
storm was fifty yards wide and it
travelled from west TO east. One
man when his house began to shake
thought the end was near at hand,
called on the Lord for help and
prayed as he never did before. 1t is
strange that some people never
have any use for the Lord until
they think they are in great danger.
Old citizens say that about fifty
years ago a storm passed almost in
the same track as that one of to
day. No doubt much mor'
damage has been done than is ye
reported.
