Further particulars from the hail
and wind of Saturday show that it was
more severe than at first reported.
The Wind at Central moved Tup
Watkins new store from the pillars
and broke off some shade trees in
front of tho Shirley store-house, and
the hail so damaged Tup Watkins
and McAlartin's crops OF cotton that
they will have to be replanted.
On towards Easley damage to the
same extent was done to the crops of
George, Elliott and Earle Kenne-
more. They expect to replant this
week.
The cotton crops Of w. r. johnson
and B. j. johnson were also badly
damaged, and other farmers along
the railroad have been hunting seed
to replant their lands.
The death of one Of w. 3. Allgood's
plow nags few days ago, presented
all unique case of equine affection.
Casual observers gave in the disease
as blind staggers, but Mr.. Allgood,
who is himself frst-claes horse doc
tor, is very close observer, and the
symptoms did not seem to satisfy
him that it WAS case Of blind stag
gers, as the vision was not iuterfered
with, and the norma! appetite showed
that there was no gastric trouble, 80
he concluded it must have been a case
of brain fever. The animal frequent
ly staggered and fell and died in
about forty eight hours. Are not
horses liable to brain fever?

WOOL NOT IN IT.

In the general overhaulirg that the
Wilson bill is receiving at the hands OF
the senate. il now appears probable tina,
u Montana product will be accorded a
measure Of protection, though the cor
cession is not made for the Montana
product, but because certain southern
senators are interested. This product is
lead ore, and the probability is that il
will secure a duty Of one cent a pound. a
reduction Of one-half cent from the ex,
listing schedule. Eight democratic sen
stors. representing Maryland. West Vir.
ginia. Alabama and Louisiana. have
agreed to stand pat for protection on
sugar. coal, iron and lead. and il they
carry out their compact, the tariff bill
must be altered to suit their views or be
defeated. 1t is much to be regretted
that the friends of wool could not secure
a representation in this junta, and force
. recognition OF the rights OF the flock
masters, but the trouble with wool ap-
pears to be tina while it is one of the
most important products of the country.
it's production is SO scattered over the
whole Of the United States, and. with
the exception Of Texas, only largely pro-
duced in the states represented by the
minority party, that it fails to secure
power enough in the democratic partyto
wage a war OF retaliation. and is there
fore passed over as unworthy Of consid-
Grafton. IL the senators named are able
30 enforce their views. it will prove the
alter untruthfulness of the old adage
that sauce for the goose should likewise
be sauce for the gander, for the lead ore,
iron ore. coal and sugar geese will be
we'll lardered, while the wool gander will
be served dry and unpalatable. All this
goes to show what a pitiful sham this
democratic policy Of tariff reform is, and
how absurd its claims are as a revenue
tariff party when it provides for an
annual deficit of s70.0O0.000 and vet
stubbornly refuses to impose a small rev.
enue tax on whisky and beer that would
alone bring in from 81. 10000 to SEQ
100000. But with all its vagaries it does
not forget to deliver a paralyzing blow
to wool. the industry of the republican
north and west. Whatever else happens
wool must be knocked out. That ap.
pears to be settled. and along with the
smokeless chimneys and the idle looms
of the country. the dismantled sheep
ranches will help blaze the trail of the
democratic tidal wave Of 90. over the
country.

Washington Is rapidly becoming q
favorite place of residence for people
who have made fortunes elsewhere, and
who are devoting the remainder of their
lives to having a good time in a quiet
way. There is a large colony of such
families, and they contribute m
y to the general stock of elegant and
comfortable incidence for which the
city is noted. Then there are the re-
tired army and navy officers. Their
name is legion, and Washington is their
favorite place to live. You see them in
great numbers in the clubs, on the
tho~roughfares, in society. Nor u
the widows be overlooked. There are
more widows in Washington than in
any other city in this country, size for
size. The widows of public men, of
army and navy o4icers, Of private citi-
zens in all ranks of life, gravitate to
the Capital City as the pleasantest place
they know of TO pass the autumn of life.
The diplomatic corps comprises ever
