Severe Storm.

One of the worst hail and wind storms
experienced in years struck this commu-
nifty late Saturday afternoon There
had been no rain in about three weeks,
the earth was dry and the dust was ter
rife. Never was -anyt thing seen like it be-
fore. 1t rose in a perfect cloud hundreds
of yards high, shutting out the light
above and obscuring everything below
Buildings could not be seen across the
street and at times such objects as tele-
graph poles could not be seen ten feet
away. 1t was sitting. overwhelming
and several persons who We're caught
out We're almost overcome before they
could find shelter and protection in the
nearest buildings. Horses We're un-
hitched and turned loose in the streets
while Others broke loose but were too
much demOralized to attempt to run
away. About the time the wind storm
abated somewhat hail began to fall and
had it not been melted by the rain the
ground would have been white with the
icy pellets. AS it was it banked in places
and could have been raked up by the
bucket full.
Under the trees the ground was COW
cred with leaves, small twigs and de-
cayed limbs, showing the force of the
hail. Gardens suffered somewhat but
the damage done was not great Crops
were not far enough advanced to be in
jured to any great extent. The path of
the storm was not very wide. 1t eX-

side of NOrlina to the Bobbitt neighbor-

Verdict in the Louqhlin Case.

The case of d. c. Loughlin against the
Seaboard Air Line Railway was decided
in Vance Superior Court last week This
suit was brought on account of injuries
received by plaintiff by being run over
by train on defendant railroad at
Hamlet in April of last year. Damages
We're laid at So, 900 This was the sec
ond trial of the case, the first having re
suited in a mistrial. Capt. W. B. Shaw,
L. L. Hicks and H. NJ Shaw were coun-
sci for plaintiff, j. H. Bridgers, A. {. FOL
licOffer and Capt. W. H. Day represent
ing the railroad The case was given to
the jury Saturday afternoon and after a
short deliberation a verdict was re-
turned finding both guilty. That is to
say that in the opinion of the jury MIR.
Loughlin was guilty of contributOry
negligence in jumping on the train while
it was in motion and the railroad was
guilty of negligence in not exercising
greater precautiOn against such acct
dent.
Motion was made for a new trial. This
was Overruled and notice of appeal was
given.
1t will be recalled that the railroad
was engaged in shifting cars cutting
out the Charlotte military company
car of the Governors Special from the
Charleston Exposition, on which train
Mr.. Loughlin was a passenger, and when
it moved off, thinking he was about to
be left he ran and attempted to board it
when he fell and got hurt One leg was
cut off at the ankle and the other foot
split open, about hall OF it, including the
big toe being cut Off.

This Should Suffice.

There was a meeting of the Board
OF Internal improvements beverage
Commissioners Friday when a reso-
luton was adopted which should set
at rest certain objections made to
the bond issue. Some persons con-
tend that $4,000 will not be suffi-
Gent construct an adequate sys-
TEN OF sewerage and that after this
amount has been expended a second
bond issue will be required to COM
plete the work. Others contend that
when $4,000 system has been put
in and it is found insufficient to give
the whole town the benefit of sewer
age objection will be made by those
who have it to increasing the system,
saying taxes are high enough al
ready.
But as was said at the outset a
resolution was adopted by the Board
which would seem to meet both these
objections and settle the whole ques-
ton. 1t was resolved mot to issue
any bonds or undertake any work
OF constructing sewerage unless esti-
mates of engineer after a complete
survey, plans and specifications shall
show that complete system of sew
erage can be had an expense not to
exceed $40, 900, as provided in the
act authorizing such work

Delightful Entertainment Promised.

As heretofore announced The Generals

will be rendered by Miss Averett's class at
Cooper Opera House Tuesday evening, June
End. This is a beautiful operetta, much
more difficult than that of last year The
plot is more complex. the solos of higher
order The many interesting situations, the
witty dialogue, the fine effect of sharp con-
trast as afforded in the lives OF lara and her
unknown sisters, Lillian and Maud-the
beautiful tableauX-are some of the many de-
tails that go to the make up of a most de-
hghtful entertainment
Another pleasing feature of the play is the
Rose Festival, in which the Rose is crowned
Queen. The Flower Drill-the contest for
the throne between the tiowers-is very pref
ty, the spectacular effect particularly fine.

Sewerage Meetinu.

Another meeting in the interest of
sewerage and street improvements
was held at Cooper Opera House
Tuesday night. There was a fairly
good attendance and the majority of
those who spoke expressed themselves
as heartily in favor of the PROPOSE
ton. Two gentlemen spoke against
the measure although declaring
themselves favorable to sewerage
and the improvement of the streets.
They only differed as to methods, OBJ
iected to the bill or certain features
of it. There were Others present who
were known to be on the opposition
side but they declined to take any
part in the discussion. The advo-
Gates Of the measure were clearly in
the majority, some of those who
spoke i'll favor of it having been OPP
posed to it at the previous meeting.
The number of those who will vote
against bonds or stay away from
the polls altogether and allow their
names on the registration books to
be counted that way grows smaller
every day.

Death of Dr.. S. 3. Perry.

Mention was madein these columns
three weeks ago that Dr. S. B. Perry
had been taken to Baltimore for
treatment. He was suffering from
acute kidney trouble complicated
with other diseases involving his
heart, and his condition was such
it was feared that he could not
live long. Doubtful though it was
that even specialists would be able
to do him any good he was given
the benefit of the doubt. He stood
the trip we'll and for time did not
seem to grow any worse. Saturday
a telegram was received stating that
he was sinking rapidly. Later a
second dispatch came announcing
his death at $3.50 p. m. The body
reached Henderson on the Atlanta
Special Sunday night The funeral
was held from the Episcopal church
at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Rev
Julian E. 1ngle conducted the service
lnterment at the cemetery.
Sidney B. Perry was q son of the
late DR.. Bennett B. Perry, of Frank
lin county. He was 30 years old.
He leaves one sister, Mrs. Geo. A..
Rose, of Henderson, and two half
brothers, Messrs. Bennett and Edwin
Perry, OF Louisburg,. besides a large
family connection.
Taking a course in dentistry and
medicine he graduated with high
honors and located in Henderson
for the practice Of his profession
about the middle of 1S9S-just five
years ago. He was a fine dentist,
his talent for such work amounting
we'll nigh to genius. Later he went
to Maxton but gave up his practice
there after a short time. Then he
Travelled for awhile finally abandon
ing that. Owing to the state of his
health he had not been engaged in
any regular business for some time.
He suffered much but he burdened
not his friends with his troubles.

There is not a prisoner confined

it is paralyzing to his business. In

threatens to go back to the country
and go to farming He will not hold
a job of no greater responsibility

Dear Sir:-It's an old saying: the best
advertisement is a pleased customer.
1t happens to us continually in this
way: 4 man buys Devoe for his house
he has painted it once in three years for
a dogs age, and thinks he knows what
he wants-buys 80 gallons and has 10
left.
He sees right-off that 20 Devoe is as
much - 30 anything else. He likes
that; it comes quick; it is surprise; and
he tells it. The best advertisement is a
pleased customer
Three years roll round. There isn't a
sign that his house needs paint, he don't
paint it. Next year he don't paint it.
This comes slow; it is surprise; but he
has got used to it. Still the best adver-
tisement is pleased customer.

There is fully developed case of small
pOx about two miles from Warren Plains
The patient, a negro man, is said to have
made his escape from pest house in
Portsmouth, Va. The law should be
very rigid in such cases. He, who know
ing he has been exposed to such loath-
some disease takes himself through the
country, exposing Industrious and inno-
cent people to it, is nothing less than a
criminal and should be dealt with as
such. If the law made it the duty of the
health officer to burn the house and the
occupant it would break up the habit OF
running over the country with such a
disease.

Nature Rejoiceth.

Glorious rains fell Saturday and
Sunday, coming when badly needed.
A dry period of three weeks following
the excessive rains earlier in the sea-
son had put the land in bad condi-
ton for work and farming opera
tons were practically at a standstill.
Such crops as had been planted were
suffering, tobacco plants were get
ting overgrown and all that had
been set out had to be watered. This
was big undertaking with a large
crop even if the land was in condition
to pillow. But the rains came and
the face of nature will present quite
a different aspect from what it did
when the ground was dry and thirsty
and such seeds as had been planted
could nat terminate.
Never was more clothing sold at this
time of the year than they are selling at
Barnes Clothing Store. Why, dc
you ask? Oh, they have the stock to
sell from and the prices that make them
