A DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM.
The Crops in Some Places Are Totally
DESTROYED.

Smithtield, n. c., June 10.-(SpeciaD
Never in the history of this county,
were the crops, as a whole, looking
more hopeful. at this season of the
year. than they were looking yesterday
morning. Perhaps there never was a
10th of June that some of them look
ed more hopeless than they do to-day.
Between the hours of and o'clock
yesterday evening black and threat
ening storm quickly gathered in the
southwest. and came wildly rushing
over this community. It's constant
roar, its midnight appearance, its
chain lightning, it's heavy thunder, the
velocity with which it travelled all
combined to make it an hour of deep
concern.
1t came on with a heavy crash of
thunder and a shower of hail stones
about the size of marbles. Then it
slightly subsidized. But the quiet was
but the precursor of something
worse Jove, Aeolus and Poseidon
seemed to gather their forces and rush
on, not like gods, but destructive de-
mons. The thunders muttered, roared,
pealed, crashed, the lightning, in &C.
centric characters, CLEANED and flash
ed. the winds shrieked and moaned,
hail stones of unusual size tumbled in
torrents, houses quivered and creaked,
windows shook and shattered. In a
few moments the destructive elements
were gone: natures warm breast was
near covered and chilled by multiform
bits of ice; and refreshing shower
followed to check the chill.
The amount of damage done to crops
cannot be told. Some of them are
likely destroyed entirely. The
wonder is that vegetable life exists to-
day; and, yet it does exist, and the
damage may not be so great as is
now feared.
The damage in the southwest
reaches but a few miles from here.
How far it swept northeast is not
known. While it was about miles in
width, Smithfield seemed to be the
storm center.
Hail stones weighing from ~
to ounces were picked up
in the streets after the storm had
subsidized. The Oldest citizens here
say the hail stones were the largest
they ever saw.

BUILD UP THE SCHOOLS.

Now that the school election is
over and the trustees elected let all
animosity that may have arisen
previous to election day be buried
and every man and woman work
to make better schools. Support
your trustees, no matter whether
they arc of your choosing or not,
for without your support very
little can be accomplished and your
children are the loosers, therefore
you are personally responsible
for the success or failure Of the
schools.
A man or woman who strikes a
blow at our institutions of learning
is striking a direct blow at the
foundation of American freedom
Educate the children and crime
will diminish, tramps will lessen
in number and prosperity will bt
seen on every hand.
The trustees just elected should
take hold with q will. See thai
competent teachers are employed
build new school houses where
they are needed and repair the ole
ones where it is required, alway'
keeping in view that tho schoo
room should be made as home-lik'
as possible, for where the schoo
house is a model of neatness ant
convenience the teacher will
have no difficulty with his school
for the pupils will hold the schoo
lroom Just as sacred as their Owl
chambers.
i When school matters of publ
interest arise in any Of the di'
tricts the columns of the GUARDIA
are always open to their discussio
and we invite the trustees an
teachers of the whole county t
, discuss school affairs throug
, this medium.

THE LAST OF THE LAND
QUESTION.

According to official statistics the
public domain of the United States
originally consisted of l ,S15, 900, 900
acres of land, of which all but $780,
900, 900 acres have been disposed of.
Of the land remaining unentered
Arizona has IS, 100000 acres, Calf
ornia 45,0OO,O0O, Colorado 100000
900, Idaho, 46,OOO,OO0, Kansas 94l,-

Nevada, 61,OOO,OOO, New Mexico
5s,OOO,0OO, Oregon $4,000, 900, and
Wyoming 5O,O00,000.
These immense tracts include
great mountain areas which will be
forever worthless for cultivation,
but they include also millions of
acres of arid land which can be
made fertile if money enough is
spent IN lrrigating them.
The question of disposing ofsuch
lands is once more before Congress
and whatever remains to be done in
settling 1t ought to be done thor
oughly.
The issue has been between see-
, ing the lands made pretext for
perpetual Treasury-raiding and
putting on the States in which they
are located the complete RESPONSE
J bility for their reclamation and
distribution.
The arid lands are not likely tc

NEW MEXICAN DELEGATION.

In the following, the Rocky
Mountain Nc,os tells some truths in
regard to the New Mexican delega-
tion that exactly fits the Arizona
delegation. 1t may hurt but it is
nevertheless true:
"The delegates to the Republi-
can national convention from New
Mexico, it is understood, will go
uninstructed, sentiment being
divided between Mckinley, Reed
and Allison. If the delegates from
New Mexico vote for any of those
men they will be giving an exhibit
tion of the blindestt partisanshiD.
McKinley,-Reed and Allison are
gg66idbugs. Every one of them
favors financial policy which cuts
in half the value of the products of
the working people of the country,
as measured in the money of Wall
street. No vote should go to them
from any producing or manufac-
turing state. They are entitled
only to the votes of money lenders,
whose interest it is to make their
money buy as much as possible of
the earth and the fruits of the
earth and the laborer that brings
fourth the fruits. If the delegates
to the Republican national conven.
tion from New Mexico vote for
Reed, Allison or Mckinley they
are traitors to the people"
