CROP IS RUINED BY
A STORM OF HAIL.
Fields and Orchards Near Americas
Devastated,
A REPLANr1Ne NOW NECESSARY
Hailstorm Sweeps Over Ragley Plan
tatlon Sunday, CELEBRATING Corn
and Cotton, Running Orchard and
Doing Much Other Damage.

Information was received here yes
terday of most destructive hailstorm
which swept the II. c. Bagley planta-
ton, near Americas, the evening pre-
vious, literally running everything in
the way of cotton crops and necessitat
ing an entire replanting of the fields.
The storm, while local, made a clean
sweep of fields aud orchard.
Seven hundred acres of cotton that
had been chopped out and was growing
finely, was completely obliterated.
Not vestige of it ls left, and the crop
must be rep 'anted
I he corn fields were likewise riddled
by the hailstones, but this will come
out again and it's repIauting, there
fore, will not be necessary. Mr.. N. A.
Ray, who superintends the Bagley
farm, started yesterday pIcughing up
the 700 acres of cotton to replant il.
Mr.. d. W. Bagley went out yester-
day to survey the scene of ruin.
He states that the hailstoDes drifted
in the rows to depth of six inches.
The stones were as large as ones
thumb, and beat down all kinds of
vegetation.
The fine peach orchard On this place,
which every year produces large crops
OF the finest fruit, was knocked out
completely. The little peaches were
p6lted from the trees and the few re-
naming are so badly bruised, he saws,
as TO be of little account.
Some of the nelghboring farms sus-
tanned slight damage, bat tho fury of
the storm was expended upon the Bag
ley place,

Vesuvius Too.

The addition of Vesuvius to the list
of volcanoes awakened by the storm
that is now at work under the crust Of
the earth would merely confirm the
theory that, whatever may be said oi
other earthquakes, the present sgita-
tion is of worldwide character. The
tempest has from the first manifestation
In Mexico forced its way steadily east
ward along comparatively narrow
zone. That Aetna Is never affected
along with Vesuvius may be explained
by the fact that the Sicilian peak is the
most regular of ali known volcanoes
and may almost be supposed to- be
shut In q solid basin Of its own
not to be broken by such forces as
ma ;e the NeapOlitan mountain reel and
ov .rfiOw. One might imagine the bot
tom of Aetna to be like cup resting in
the crust of the earth capable of resist
ing external pressure and filling only
at known intervals. The case is quite
different with the Italian coast In the
neighborhood which Virgils .Aeneid
has made forever famous. That region
is honey-combed with sulphurous cav
erns. 1t shakes SO easily that media
eval legend even declared Naples TO be
founded on eggs. There are stiu other
volcanoes in the Mediterranean like
Stromboli that are equally sensitive
to disturbance within the earth. We
shall not be disappointed to learn short
" that these also have been aroused
by the almost unexampled disturbance
which is now going on inside the earth g
crust.
II all these manifestations are to be
considered together, from Mexico to
Spain, then the depth Of the Atlantic
off the Windward islands furnishes q
criterion of the depth at which the
earthquake has been working. Its real
power has been not less than five miles
from the surface. 1t would be easy for
q mathematician to calculate how much
shorter the curve is upon which the
earthquake has been prOpagated than
of the surface where its effects have
been observed. The difference would
be found significant. This probable
depth of the movement gives q good
warrant for the evident inclination OF
people to abandon the stricken islands
of Martinique and st. Vincent. There
is no telling what may yet happen to
these diminutive bits of land. They
may inithe end disappear altogether.
At their best they are but mountain
tops whose slopes are hidden in the sea.

LINOLEUMS.

There is different qualities, diff

manufactures; there is light weight
goods that cost considerable less than
the regular standard goods. We some
times are tempted to buy those light
weight goods but so far we have stuck
to the standard makes. Standard
makes are no more expensive than
light weight goods; they will wear
twice as long and keep their appear
ance better. We would suggest COM
parisons. Our stock shows possibly
~ patterns to-day; some of them are
fresh and new, others have been in
stock for sometime. The older the
Linoleum is the better it wears; as it
gets older it becomes more properly
