OF HAIL"
HaiIstones weighing six Pounds
Fell in Alabama.


Valdosta. Ga. July 31.-Mr. Lester
E. Goodloe. travelling auditor of the
Atlantic Coast Line, with headquarters
here. returned last night from trip
into Alabama and brought two stories
with him that are almost too incredible
TO believe. though he vouches for both
of them one of them is in regard
to the terrific hail storm that fell be-
tween Enterprise and Brockton, week
ago.
Mr.. GoodIoe says that there was a
"waterspout Of hail. in that section
and that the damage is great. A piece
of ice weighing six pounds, he says
was picked up the next morning after
the hail. and that there was every evi-
dence that it fell during the storm. He
says holes We're beat through the TIN
roof Of the depot at Enterprise and
that a buggy which was standing from
under the shed at the depot was literal
ly torn to pieces Stock and cattle
were killed where they were exposed
and the hail stood two feet deep ON
the ground i'm places. In some places,
where it could drift it was five or six
feet deep. The food of hail extended
about fifteen miles along the Atlantic
Coast Line. and the farmers prospects
were ruined. The government has
been appealed to for aid for them.
The other story which Mr.. Goodloe
vouches for is in regard to a fight be
tween rattlesnake and man named
Parks, at Luverne. Ala. last Thurs
day. Parks went out in his back
yard and before he knew ii a monster
rattlesTtake sprang toward him With
out realizing what it was. ana in
voluntarily. he grabbed at 1t to prevent
it from striking him. and caught it
by the neck, squeezing it with a death
like grip. The big snake began to
writhe and wrap itself about Parks
body throwing him to the ground.
He managed to get up again. tighten
ing his grip on the reptile and using
both hands He was tripped up again
by the snake and thus for four times
A negro man saw the struggle and
rushed to Parks rescue. When he
reached there he saw that the snake
was lifeless and Parks was perfectly
crazed. The snake was removed from
his vice-like clutch, and he immediate

and excitement of the battle. He later
