DAMAGES BY THE STORM.

Evidences of the fearful storm that
swer,f over Durham and vicinity Tues
day evening from $3.50 to $3.50 were TO
be seen everywhere yesterday morning.
The wind blew fearfully, and the ram
fell in torrents. Trees were stripped OF
their foliage: in many instances large
and beautiful shade trees were com
pletelv demolished and yard anu gar
den fences everywhere leveled WIN the
ground. Awnings were torn away
signs blown down, and there was de-
struction on all sides.
In addition to the damages reported
Tuesday night, the Erwin Cotton Mills
suffered heavy losses; the roof o. the
~. ID. Jones tobacco prizery was torn
off. the roof of Thomas II. Martin
b;o tobacco house was much damaged;
one of the chimneys to Paul A. NoeFs
residence was blown down, and falling
on one of the porches almost demol-
ished it.
The heaviest loss sustained was that
of the large tobacco house of George w.
Watts, occupied by w. I. Darlington.
It contained some $50, 900 worth of leaf,
but as very little rain fell after the
house was blown down, the damage
is not so heavy Mr.. Darlington carried
81 900 storm insurance. He estimates
his damage at $4,000.
News from every direction from the
country is to the effect that the storm
was heavy and much damage to timber
and late corn resulted. In a few in
some farmers had not finished
cutting their tobacco, and when the
storm had passed over very little of it
WIS left standing.

Steps VIII Be Taken.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The Ameri-

been factor in the state and municipal
politics of several states for number of
years, has announced its intention to
enter the field of national politics in the
coming presidential campaign. It's
first crusade will be taken at meeting

slst upon the re-enactment in party
platforms this year of the pIanks of the
Democratic and Republican platforms of
1876, in which both parties declared
against sectarian appropriations and
emoluments from public money or prop

in congress an amendment to the con-
stitution as follows:
'Article 16.-Neither congress nor any
state shall pass any law respecting an
establishment of religion or prohibiting
the free exercise therof, or use the prop
erty or credit of the United States, or
of any state, or any money raised by
taxation, or authorize either to be used
