Of theStnse frogs, the clustering OF
the birds and the. barking OF the
squirrels give warning Of an. sp.

and hogs also middle together just
before storm.
'In the old days, when the cattle
would fail to oome up in the evening,
I would usually find them in a

from the house. The intelligence
displayed by these animals is re-

. ANIMALS IN A STORM.
"Many people remember the Fourth
of July storm which destroyed life
and property about twenty five years
ago. I had nearly ono hundred head
of horses and cattle, and as they
were in woods when the storm
came up, l expected all would be
killed. When the rain had stopped
falling l started out to search for
them. Trees we're uprooted in every
direction, and I had difficulty in
getting through the woods. I called
at intervals.
"Finally my voice was heard by
the animals, which had gathered in
corner Of the pasture away from
the trees, and such noise 1 have
never heard since. The cows bawled,
the horses neighed and fell over ono
another in their JOY at seeing me.
[ did not have to drive them home.
They followed me in bunch. On
the way we passed through field of
green corn. They were 80 badly
frightened and so anxious to get to
the barn that they did not stop to
eat.
"Had these animals not realized
their danger they would have been
killed AS 1t was, only one steer
WAS INJURED. The animal was caught
under tree and had leg broken"

rHH STATE NBBps HONEY
BY Next January, 100000 WIN Have
Been Borrowed.

Especial to News and Courier.
Columbia, Nov. 17.--Comptroller
General Derham, in speaking about
the states finances today, said that
he did not know that he would have
any recommendations to make in his
report as to taxation, but the fact is
that the state will be behind in her
revenue, as>has been asserted before.
Mr.. Derhsm knows one way by
which the state can catch up, but
there is little hope that the legisla.
ture will grasp the opportunity of
doing it, and that is to assess all
property at 100 per oent-its real
value. It is too much to expect
that, however, in view of the fact
that the legislature almost annually
extends the time for paying taxes,
even at the reduced assessment. As
has been stated, the state will have
to borrow about 100000 this year,
and this has been accommodating
yearly until it had reached that fig
ure by reason of the large and extra
appropriations made. Had it not
been for these appropriations and
had about the usual appropriations
been made the past two years, in
stead of borrowing money, by 1904
the state would start out with enough
to pay all expenses and would have
to borrow none. SUIT ss the appro-
priations have been made the state
is behind and there is no way out of
it yet suggested that is practicable
except to raise the assessment. At
100 per cent assessment Mr.. Derham
says the levy could be reduced to
three mills and then there would be
plenty of money to pay all OK
penses.
