4 Terrible Hailstorm.

Lanes. June 10.-Today as the sec
tion of crunty traversed by the hail
storm OF yesterday afternoon ls heard
from the force as felt at this place ie
confirmed. Shingles on the houseto Ds
were split Oft and great holes made in
the roofs, even roofs covered with tin
did not escape without damage, holes
being punctured through the tin by
the large etOnes coming with such
rapidity and force. Window blinds
and sashes were ale0 shattered on the
north side Of the houses. Quantities
of chickens were killed and all fruit
was stripped from the trees.
The bark was knocked off of pine,
oak and other trees where the hail
stones would strike them. Corn and
cotton is badly beaten down. Nothing
but the stalks with an occasional leaf
is Visible, though it Is thought these
will put out and yet make half crop
or more.
This morning at 8 o'clock there were
still good many heilstones in seciud-
ed spots measuring two inches in cir
cumference notwithstanding the warm
night.
The path of the storm is very percep-
tibie, having q dead, hazy appearance
On account of the thinness Of the trees
branches.
Only those who witnessed the down.
pour OK ice could perceive of it's mag
nitude. and it is to be hoped we will
not have another such visitation soon.

The Spartanburg Journal says that
che general ==ee!l::ee committee appoint
ed to look after the distribution Of
funds for the food sufferers now has
on hand about $18, 900 in money which
ie pndisposed Of. The committee
scaas days ago recognized the fact that
th6s would not need all of the money
thatswas coming in 80 rapidly, and ac-
cordingly statements were issued and
published to that effect, but the ,n-
efosity Of the people continued un-
abated. The committee after expeud.
ing all that was necessary to relieve
aood conditions found that only s5,-
500 was required. The Columbia
State very properly suggests that this
surplus money should be given to the
farmers who suffered by the. high
water along the rivers. In many SEQ
tions they suffered serious loss, and
in some cases total destruction of their
crops. Many Of these farmers need
help, and we do not think tho ooutri-
butors to the relief fund will make
unfavorable criticism if tho surplus

A few days ago the Supreme Court
rendered q decision which MAJ pn: G
stop to outrages committed by State
oonstables who illegally seize goods
under color of the dispensary law.
The case came up on an appeal from
Spartsnburg County, and was known
as Matte Moore, appellant. VS.. Ben
w. Eubanks, respondent, and the
opinion Of the lower court was re-
versed, it being decided that an action
FOR claim and delivery might be
brought to test whether or not the
seizure Of liquors by dispensary con-
stables was in accordance with the
Law or not, no other remedy being
provided in the dispepsary law. Here
tofore it has been the rule, aud the
Spartanburg court 80 decided that ap-
plication for return Of property
seized should be made to either the
governor or to the board of directors.
This decision, however, means that
regular claim and delivery proceedings
might be instituted, IL being left for
the court or jnry q, decide whether
the liquor boing transported was for
illegal purpose or not. The case came
