TERRIFIC HAIL STORM.
Crops Beaten Down and Ruined in
BuIlOch.


Statesboro, Ga June 19.-The most
terrific hail storm ever remembered
in the county fell from three to seven
miles below here Wednesday afternoon.
Reports began to come in next day of
the disaster, but such things are so
often exaggerated so much that but
little attention was paid to them. Late
yesterday afternoon, however, one man
brought to town several stalks Of cot
ton and corn that bear testimony of
the destruction done. The cotton was
knee high, and looked as if one had
threshed them over a log. They were
entirely leafless and beaten to a fraz-
zle. The corn was just beginning to
tassel and nothing but the stalk re-
mains except shreds of the fodder. Mr..
Mike Parrish brought in a cracker box
full of the hail late yesterday after
noon, twenty-five hours after it fell,
and the stones were then the size of
large marbles. He is a reliable citi-
zen, and said that his entire crop was
gone, and that a carload Of hail could
then be gathered off his sarm. Num-
bers of other farmers have declared
that the entire face of the ground was
covered with the ice and that the drifts
were from fifteen inches to two feet
deep. Much of it is still on the ground
this (Friday) morning. While many
of the farmers are in well-to-do cir
cumstances, others are not, and The loss
of an entire crop at this season will
cause suffering unless their neighbors
render them assistance. Old citizens
say that though the corn and other
crops are ruined it is possible that the
cotton will make a portion of a crop.

ing.
After Prof. Deans address, Rev. Bas-
com Anthony, presiding elder of the
North Macon district, was introduced
for the opening address. Mr.. Anthony
took as his subject THE Heavenly VII
sion." which Paul saw on his way to
Damascus. The address was a splendid
one throughout. After the address a
reception was rendered the leaguers at
the Methodist parsonage. Nearly 200
were present, and the occasion was
very pleasant one.
At an early hour this morning
prayer service was conducted by Miss
Mamie Myers, and at 9 o'clock a de-
votional service was held, followed by
err the business of the session. Then
came a Quiet Hour" by Rev. George

DEMENTED, SHE TRIED
TO KILL HER CHILDREN.
NeighbOrs stopped the Mother Just
i'm Time-AugUsta News.

in Time-Augusta News.
Augusta, June 19.-Mrs. Gussie Lott,
a widow residing at No. 2 Pearl ave-
nue., in the mill district, was stopped
in an attempt to kill her children at
her home to-day. She had a large
knife. with which she was going to at
tack the children. when discovered and
prevented by the neighbors from doing
any harm.
Mrs. Lofts case is a sad one. Sew
eral weeks ago she became demented
on the subject of religion. She was
taken in charge by the county author
tiles, but before she had been tried. rel
atives took her to the country, where,
in few weeks. she seemed to have
recovered.
She came back to town, but on Tues
day again showed signs of losing her
reason. BY neighbors she was stopped
in the act of cutting her own throat
with large bread knife. She became
quite again, and remained so, until
this morning, when she started out to
kill her children.
She has been taken in charge by the
authorities, and will probably be sent
to the asylum.
Mills Close Down.
The Enterprise Cotton Factory has
closed down a week for repairs, and
1t is announced that after that, for
the next two weeks, the mill will be
run but four days each Then, it is
rumored, the mill will close down.
The Sutherland Mills, that for most
of the time have been in operation
both night and day, have closed down.
1t is likely that before long other
mills will be forced to do likewise for
lack of cotton, and the inability to
buy it at present prices for manufac-
ture into goods. Whenever the mills
close down, however, the hands will
be kept together for the fall and paid
half wages all the time they are idle
In this way there will be no want
among them.
Negro Took Poison.
Henry c. RobertsS a negro drank
two ounces of laudanum with suicidal
intent last night He was discovered
before he died, but the physicians were
unable to save him. He was well
liked, and the cause of his suicide is
unknown.
