SWEPT BY STORM.
Parts OF -Four Counties Devastated
The Damage.

Reports from The hail and wind
storm that sweet over a portion of
~Caswell and Orange counties, touching
Alamance and Durham counties, last
Saturday evening shows that it was the
most severe storm that has visited this
section of the state iii years
Conservative estimates as to the loss
place the figures at 100000. 1t IS
thought by many that these figures WI
not cover The loss. but that it will re
even greater. TIE reporter has receiv-
ed figures that twenty-one farmers .ost
close to a quarter Of a million hills OF
tobacco, most of which was practically
ready to cut. In addition to these there
are a large number Of other losers.
whose names and amount OF loss could
not be learned yesterday.
Last night Mr.. j. T. Lea received q
letter from Mrs. Lea, in which she
said the people CT that section place
the loss of tobacco alone at fully one
million pounds. This loss alone, al IL
cents per pound, would be 500, 900. Thee
there are other losses in the way OF
peas, corn, potatoes and timber.
From reports it seems that the
storm was at its worst in the Prospect
Hill neighborhood of CasWell county.
There the storm seemed to divide, one
section going in towards Danville dhd
the other coming towards Durham. At
one place the storm swept district was
all of five miles IN width. Towards the
end of the two sections of the storm
it was not more than a mile vice
While the loss was heavy at Prospect
Hill it was also very heavy in the Cald-
well institute section and then gradual
ly decreased in violence as the stern:
progressed.
The storm lasted about thirty min
utes, during which time the hail fell III
torrents, some of the stones being neA'-
Iy as large IS guinea eggs. Accompany
ing the hail was a terrific blow Of wind.
All growing vegetation was practically
destroyed on many plantations. the
tobacco crops were simply riddled and
torn to pieces. IN many Il field the.e
was rot one whole leaf left; the fodde!
was torn to pieces and beaten into the
ground, and wen potato vines were
torn and beaten to pieces. Then III
addition to all this a great dea | of
timber was blown down and scattered
and matted in every direction.-Iur

such Importance that It cannot be

was made on his own initiative. Until

ruler of his country. Nearly year

to bring his country into line with
other modern powers. and to endow
his people with a parliamentary form
of government. to be modelled on that
