RAGING TORNADO WREAKS
DAMAGE UPON BIACKBIRO
LAYS WASTE CORN FIELDS AND UPROOTS
A NUMBER OF FINE SHADE TREES
Lightning Plays Numerous Freaks Especially
at the Polling Places Of the Democratic
Primaries of BIackbird Hundred.

BLACKBIRD, September 6.-At few
minutes before three o'clock Saturday
afternoon a storm broke over this
community that old residents declare
was without a parallel in their mem
ory. Fortunately, however. little
damage was done in Thoroughfare
Neck, but in the vicinity of Blackbird
the storm took on the aspect of a tor
nado. The day had been exceedingly
warm and had the appearance of being
one OF the hottest days of the season.
In the afternoon an insignificant look
ing cloud arose out of the northwest.
but little thought was given as to
what was back of it until peal of
thunder and the rumble of the ipkv
black cloud that was rolling up like a
huge breaker, caused the crowd that
had gathered at the primary election
to look to the safety of the hundred or
more teams present. A moment later
:he storm broke with vivid lightning
and crashes of thunder. The buge
whirlwlnd swoOped down, raising
havoc with teams and carriages.
There was a wild rush for shelter and
many were unable to find it and were
at the mercy of the pitiless pelting of
large hail stones, and were deluged
with the torrents of rain. Shade trees
were twisted off and the air was fnll
OF flying debris. The roof of Mr..
William Spicer's stable was blown off
and carried several rods. Lightning
struck a telephone pole in front of
Brockson's store. and followed stay
wire to the large sycamore tree in
front of Mr.. Samuel Fennimore's
house where the team of MIR. Bailev's
was hitched. The horse was stunned
SO severely that for several minutes
1t was supposed to be dead. A singu-
lar prank of the bolt was that il tore
the political card of George c. Roth
well, which was tackled to the tele-
phone pole. into fragments and at
the same time knocked an election
ticket from candidate Rotbwell's
hand Why no one was injured bv
the bolt is mystery. OF growing
crops, corn suffered the greatest in
Jury. In many cases it looks as
though huge roller had passed over
1t. No doubt the heaviest loss bv the
storm is experienced by Mr.. James
Glnn on the Corbitt farm. Mr.. CHM
has been experimenting with the
propagation of carp and with con-
siderable expense built a model fish
pond, which was stocked with manv
hundreds of pounds of this mud fish.
The dam was broken by the food, the
pond drained and nearly all of the,
1sh lost. 1t is reported that John
Frances pond containing over 5000 !
worth of fish met with a similar fate

In the evening Rev. John P. Burdette,
principal of the Smyrna Schools gave a
talk on "The Religious Impressions of

full of interesting data, in which he
divided his subject into two parts, the

Mary Lijeweski would not recover.
DIR. Messick was summoned and took
the cases in charge. Fortunately
most of the Bohemians were in the
