V. Hobson was painfully injured by a
scaffold falling on him. At the com
mand of Levi Prather, one of the con-
tractors, Mr.. Hobson knocked loose
some braces that were in the way of
other work and the scaffold and the
brick on it came down without mo.
ments warning. When the debris was
removed and Mr.. Hobson extricated it
was found that one bone of his ancle was
broken and another dislocated, caused
by piece of scantling falling across his
foot aud leg. He was taken home i'm
mediately and the limb was set by Drs.
Walker and Rosser. Mr.. Hobson had
just commenced work at the school house
and as he did not have anything to do in
building the scaffold he was not aware
OF the unsafe condition in which it had
been erected.
Subscription lists to aid the storm suf-
ferers were circulated about two weeks
ago. One copy can be found at the

mistake can be made by anyone con-
tributing as literally as possible to this
cause. Ills true all crops are short and
tho price of cotton so far below what
was anticipated several months ago, that
every farmer will feel the effect and is
not able to respond as liberally as he
would like to. The funds collected in
TINS community, together with the con-
trlbutions of Governor Hayward and
Congressman Aiken, have been deposited
with the Peden & Anderson Banking
Company for the storm sufferers. j. NJ.
Hull and j. Wade Dickson are members
OF the committee appointed to see to
the distribution of the funds.

over half crop of cotton and every
thing else will be gathered this year.
Even the "goober' and forage crops are
short.
