The rain and hail storm Friday
afternoon was entirely local and did
not extend much beyond the city
limits. On Graham's farm and on the
Manning road near the Hoyt place the
storm was quite severe and there was
an unusually heavy fall of hail.
Trees were blown down and crops
were badly cut up by the hail. A few
miles out of town there was neither
rain nor hail.

EDITOR OF The GREEHVILLE
NEWS MAKES 4 STATEMENT.
According to His Version He Was
Struck Before He Knew What
Was Up.

Special to The State.
Greenville, July 8.-The following
has been handed to the correspondent
of The State this afternoon, and is
intended to correct some portions of
the account given in today's State Of
the alteration between Messrs. III. H.
Evans and ]. K. Blackman, the facts
being given to your correspondent last
night by Mr.. Evans, who was the only
one of the parties accessible at the
time, and the honr was too late for
investigation. Mr.. Evans can make
his own comments upon the discrep-
ancies as to what took place when they
met in front of The News Office, which
is the only material difference in their
statements.
Blackman's story, corroborated by
several witnesses, is as follows:
"After getting Mr.. Richardson's
message that Mr.. Evans was in the city
and wanted to see me, I got up from a
sick bed and went down to The News
Office between Z and O'Clock, as I
had said ] would do. was met near
the bottom of the steps, leading from
the ground up to our Offices, by Mr..
Evans-as I learned afterward He ap-
preached me and asked if I was Mr..
Blackman, and, upon being answered
ahrmatively, held out copy of the
telegram I had sent him Saturday
night, asking if that was my message.
1 looked at it and replied that it was.
I was standing partly sidewise to him
reading the telegram and before l could
raise my head he nluttered; Then I'll
kill you, and struck me terrific blow
from behind, landing about the base
of the brain at the back Of the head.
I fell forward semi conscious. He con-
tinued to beat me after I was, down. I
was helpless, the blow on the back Of
the head having temporarily paralyzed
me. I was entirely unarmed, but had
I had an arsenal I would have been
powerless to use it, from the fact that
the attack came SO unexpectedly and
from the rear. i. had no idea of
impending trouble, and had Mr.. Evans
asked for the name of the author Of
the article, asserting its incorrectness,
I should certainly Lave endeavored to
obtain the authors consent to give it
to him.
STILL PARTIALLY PARALYZED.
Mr. Blackman's physician stated
today that for two days past Mr. Black
man had been suffering from an acute
attack of cholera morbus, for which
he was under treatment at the time of
the assault. He saw Mr.. Blackman
about half hour after Monday even
ing's occurrence, and again Tuesday
morning and afternoon. Ie told re-
porter that Mr.. Blackman was suffer
ing from conclusion of the brain caus-
ed by blown on the back of the head
at the base of the brain, similar to
what might obtain in person who had
been -bagged, and that the result
ant partial paralysis in the limbs still
persists at this writing. He hopes to
have Mr.. Blackman out in day or two.

Eassy Day Rslrsnehmsas.

We regnemher that the Houston =
Texas Central Railway Company
about twenty years ago. called d meet
ing OF the stockholders with view OF
cutting down expenses. Special trains
were employed to carry the officers to
Houston, and one of the most sumptu-
GUS banqueta in the history of that
company was spread. There was a
great ball, and the lamps shown
brightly over fair ladies and railroad
men that meant business. The light,
fantas ic toe was tripped till the wee
small hour of the morn, and lovers
looked love to each other like dying
calves. The next morning the direc-
tors got together and grated, and a.
nally passed a resolution in favor of
retrenchmenr and reform. They view
ed with alarm the increasing expenses
of the company and with pride at this
movement to cut down expenses.
They declared that the time had come
to economic, and resolved that the
advertisement In the Houston Weekly
Telegraph should be discontinued and
that the wages of the blacksmith at
Hearne be reduced from 50 80 to 81. so
per day. The edict at once went
form. The result was that the black
smith struck Immediately and the
Houston Telegraph set up system of
criticism that ultimately bore such
fruit as to land the property into the
hands of receiver. It was mock
economy. It was a sham-to make
believe. They could have reduced
TIER own salaries and expenses, and
economical in earnest and saved the
company from bankruptcy, but they
chose to cut of the printer and the
blacksmith. This was hard on the
printer, for it knocked him out of the
price of his advertisement. But the
blacksmith got up sympathetic
strike, and the corporation never re-
covered from it's self-infiicted shock.
Twas ever thus from childhood's
hour. The printer suffers first He

Wooteu TO the Front.

Well, Woouen made a speech in
Congress last week. Wooten imagines
himself an orator, but he is mistaken
His p1-aseology is involved; he will
use two hundred words to express a
thought, which is as rule borrowed.
when twenty words only are needed.
His verbosity Is fearfully elongated.
He has no individuality, but affects
without success the style of an elocu
ton teacher, His personal appearance
Is against him, his face being void of
expression and his general physique
angular and awkward. But unthink
ing people have complimented his
oratorical gymnastics, and he, as q
consequence considers oratory his
forte. That's why he talked himself
out of influence as a member OF the
Texas Legislature. Ii is not surpris-
ing, therefore, that his speech las,
week was for display only. 1t was up

loan expansion by the banks was an
other disquieting factor. Increase in
