Hail Storm in Pickens.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Pickens, Aug. 5.-A destruc-
tive hail storm did damage to
growing crops in the country ly-
ing in the vicinity Of Pickens
court house last Monday after
noon. The course of the storm
seems to have followed line
running from northwest to south
east and extending for a distance
of about four miles, passing
through the town Of Pickens. The
damage cannot yet he estimated
but many good farmers whose
crops are measured three and
four horses each are apparently
ruined. Grown cotton bolls were
torn from the stalk and the heavy
rains accompanying the stor n
washed them into piles or carried
them off. Corn is almost strip.
ped, and wlththose who felt the
fullfOrce of the storm the ont
look is indeed gloomy.
