THREE STRUCK
:
BY LIGHTNING
Terrific Storm Visits Cit
and Plays Havoc For a
Time
ULRICA Was TOSSED

The threatening storm which hung
over the city the greater part Of yes
terday unloosed its fury late in the
afternoon and for an hour the down
pour of rain and electrical display
was appalling. In about an hour,
eight-tenths Of an inch of rain fell
and the streets for a time represented
miniature rivers. The wind swept
along at aterriho velocity. which added
to the damage wrought by the heavy
rain.
The sharp lightning flashes singled
out three victims, neither of whom
however. were fatally shocked. Sew
eral houses in different sections of the
city were also struck. but no great
damage was done.
The Lightning Victims.
The persons shocked by lightning
were Miss Margaret Andrews, who
lives at duPont's Banks. and Charles
Faulkner and Miss Edith Walker, who
were stunned at Mr. Faulkner's home.
| No. 426 Queen street.
Miss Andrews had taken refuge from
the storm in front of a neighbor's
house in Breck's Lane and she fell un-
conscious to the ground from the ef-
fects of the bolt which struck her.
Both Faulkner and Miss Walker
were rendered senseless and dazed by
/ lightning. which struck the Faulkner
/ home. A hall Of fire entered the din
ing room in which the couple were
seated and the force of the shock
threw Miss Walker from her chair TO
the floor. William J. Faulkner. the
father of young Faulkner was stand
/ ing on the porch at the time, and both
he and Mrs. Faulkner. who syas in the
kitchen, escaped the bolt.
Was Rendered Unconscious.
with Miss andrews the case was
different. She was shocked so badly
that it was with difficulty that Dr.
Meredith I. Samuel succeeded in re-
viving her. She was stunned by a
bolt which struck o wire leading 10
the home Of Walter Matthewson, chief
electrician for the Z. L dupont
Powder Company A clock in the lat
ter's house was stopped and all the
telegraph and telephone wires We're
! burned out.
Several trees were blown over by the
force of the wind and a few houses
were slightly damaged in different sec
tions Of the city. but no serious loss
has been reported.
ulrioa Had Trouble.
The wind in the Delaware river rose
almost to q gale and was so strong
that the steamer Ulrica had great
difficulty in entering the mouth Of the
Christiana. Her passengers were
frightened, but their fear was turned

ed in getting in.
To compensate for its brief reign Of
fury. the storm reduced the extreme
temperature under which the people
had suffered all day. and sleep last
night was possible.

FrIahtIuI Loss In Fertilizers.

We are In position, we think, to prove
to the satisfaction Of most any reason
able intelligent farmer that South Caro-
lima cotton farmers this year have lost
enough money in ammoniated fertilizers
to build at least one good warehouse in
each cotton county of the State. Per-
haps ninety per cent of those that use
ammoDiated fertilizers put these am
mopiated fertilizers in the ground before
the seed is planted. And yet we are told
by the chemist that the most valuable
constituents in these ammoniated fertil-
izers are soluble in water, and If they
are not soluble in water that they are no
good.
After the ten days of heavy rains we
had in June there is not enough of this
ammonia left 10 the soil to make cotton
enough for q monkey jacket.
We want new cultivator with fer
tilizer distributor to put out these very
soluble fertilizers along on the ground
ahead of the cultivator and stir this
nitrate of soda and other ammoniated
goods in the soil after the roots are there
to feed upon this volatile food before 1t
is leached out or evaporated. We must
make at least two applications of these
fertilizers after the roots If the crops
are there to feed upon thi, ,.uick acting
fertilizer,

No Protection for Unorganized Cotton Planter

When the huntsman's hounds strike
the trail of game, the 'possum has his
hollow log for his protection, foxes have
their holes and the raccoon has his den,
but when cotton bears strike out Oh the
trail of the unorganized cotton grower
this unworthy son of the South has not
where to lay his head.
When well organized, the farming in
terests of our cotton belt would be the
greatest money power on the continent;
our cotton interest properly organized
would be the biggest giant among all our
giauts of tradesmen. But, in its unor-
ganized state the Southern cotton pro-
ducers have been held up before the
world in ridlcule as the smallest giant on
earth. Farmers--cotton growers-have
you not more of that faculty of the sense
of self-preservation than the foxes and
raccoons of the forest? Men, come to-
gether and act like men, concentrate
your labor and money in community
warehouse. Prepare your Notifications
now while we have comparative quiet on
the cotton market, and, above all, act
together in pricing your cotton. Let cot
ton producers confer with each other as
to what their cotton 10 worth; never
| again allow the willy bears to bear your
| goods down to suit his idea of prices.
