The one remarkable feature OF this

not even any serious injury. ,,
Some chickens were found in the

ANOTHER STORM IN THE UPPER PoR-
TIoN OF THE COUNTY. SEVERAL
PERSONS sERIoUSLYsINJURED.
In, addition to the cyclone which
passed through the lower section OF
this county, an account OF Whlch rs
given above, there was another about
the same time yesterday afternoon, be-
tween 8 and 4 o'clock, in the upper
section of the county, near the Lau.
rens line. We are unable to get full
details, but give what. information is
at hand.
! The first information is when the
storm, struck the place Of Mr.. l.: w.
| P. Riser in No. 4 Township near the
| Laurens line. It literally destroyed
! the corn and cotton of Henry Boyd, !,
coiored tenant OF Mr. Riser.
From there the storm passed through
the plantation of Hon. Jno.. w: Scott
and stripped the cotton fields OF Mad
ison Grimm, one Of his colored tenants.
1t blew down two negro houses on Mr.
Scott's place, breaking the arm and
leg of one child and the arm of another.
All the furniture in both houses and
the clothing was broken to pieces and
blown away.
From there the storm track was TO-
wards the Thos. Ray place, upon which
Mr.. Thos. L. Harmon lives, and every
house upon the place except the gin
house and part of the dwelling hodse
| was blown down. Three negroes were
injured, whether sSaiously or not we
are unable to learn.
The storm track was then towards
| Wade nderson's place blowing down
several houses there and thence IN the
direction of Avery's Ford on Enoree
River
The facts here given are hurriedly
gathered, bat we hope are approx
mateIy correct.
The storm track was from Southwest
| to Northeast, the same direction as the
storm in the lower section and about
the same time. =.
Whether it was prongs Of the same
storm or not we do not know.
We have heard nothing from the
storm before it struck Newberry.
The storm ia the lower section passed
within one hundred yards or less OF
Mt. Tabor Lutheran church: In: the
the upper section it was within three
miles of Mt. Tabor Methodist church.
The track of this cyclone is said to
have been about three hundred yards
wide. They were both at the same
hour.
The roaring sound was heard for
several miles.
About the same time there was a
very dark cloud here in Newberry anG
q very hard rain.
