HAIL THREE FEET DEEP.
Terrifice Storm Sweeps Over Pos-
tion of Orange County, Causing
Thousands of Dollars Worth of
Damape Tn Crops.


Durham, Special.-From parties
who were in the city today partlcu-.
lars OF hail storm that did great
damage in the northern part OF Or
angc county Tuesday night were
learned. The loss was something
fearful, large planters losing every
thing. The hail b..lt was from three
quarters to amile in width. The
storm did not last more than l5 OF
20 minutes. In that length of time
thousands of dollars worth Of prop
erty was destroyed. "In some
Places" said l1r. S. 7. Pittard, who
lost his entire crop Of tobacco, oats,
cotton and corn, ''the ice MS piled
three feet deep yesterday morning.
This was in bitches, Oh places where
it was rifted." Continuing, he said
that yesterday morning one of his
neighbors gathered a guano sack full
of the hail stones and carried them
to HiIlsboro, a distance of IL miles.
"When he reached Hillsboro," said
my informant, "the stones were as
large as guinea eggs. This gives you
some idea of the size of the stones
when they fell, these being gathered
after lying on the ground all night, -
Telling of some Of the losers, Mr..
Pittard said that he lost his entire
crop of tobacco, 10000 hills; all his
corn, oats and cotton. Fate Cooper
lost from $4,000 to 10000 hills Of
tobacco, Joe Hurst from $4,000 to
10000 hills, Rufus Wilkins $4,000
hills. John SaterGeld, ID. l.. Wells,
William Ellison, Will Wright, Chas.
Wilson, Mrs. Anderson and numbers
If others lost practically their entire
crop. All of these parties lost corn,
cotton and oats, in addition to the
large loss on the tobacco crop.
The first hail belt was IL miles
north Of Hillsboro, near Carr's post
office. Here the belt was little more
than a half mile wide. At Caldwell,
distance OF nine or ten miles, the
loss was fearful. The average width
of the belt was probably from three
quarters to one mile. The storm
went intowards the western part OF
Person county.
One year ago this same sccticu was
visited by fearful hail storm and
wind storm and the damage occasion
ed to the tobacco crop was fearful
This year some of those who lost
a year ago are again losers, but in
most instances the storm belt was
little removed from the old belt
aud the losers this year las rule
are those WHO escaped the destruc.
tive storm year ago.
Mr.. Pittard said that he did not
know what the farmers in this belt
would do. The oat crop is not WORTH
cutting and the corn is left stand
ing in many instances without q
single blade left on the stalks.

aDr. Osler certainly set the country

roform for those who had passed tas
fortieth milestone, but I heard him
make another statement that might
be considered fully as startling said
"a New York merchant at luncheon
the other day. Several years ago
my wife wes a wreck from nervous
dyspepsia Several prominent phy-
ssicians here had treated her without
success and finally was advised to
take her to Baltimore to see Dr.
5Osler.
sHe inquired carefully about her
habits and particularly about her
diet. We described it without going
into details, but this did not satisfy
the great physician.
"Tell me What you have for dinner,
describe the nature of the courses,
their number and SO on" he insisted.
well, usually we start with some
good nourishing SOUP" began.
..stop right there, interrupted DR..
osIer. Soup must go. There is a
popular fallacy that soup is nourish-
ins That is mistake. 1t is one of the
most harmful things one can eat.
1t Is worse than lobster. OF course,
there are times when a simple beef
or mutton broth is not to be condem-
ned. But as rule soup is positively
dangerous. 1t dilutes the gastric
Juices and it ferments too rapidly
to permit it to be easily digested.
1t is the greatest cause of dyspepsia
and nervous disorders. Vegetable
soup should he thrown into the gar
bage pail, where it belongs, instead
OF being poured into a delicate
stomach. Half the nervous wrecks
among society folks who live we'll are
caused by eating soup.
"Dr. Osler gave some other advice,
which was followed by my wife in
addition to giving up soup. Soup is
never served at our table and has not
been for four years My wife is we'll
and strong to-day, and she can eat
anything on the menu except soup"

Why They Buried Her.


An incident that happened long
enough ago to make its telling harm
less began with the meeting of two
old Cincinnatians on the street. Lock
ing arms, so runs the tale, they stroll
led slowly along, discussing various
topics. Personal ones were touched
upon at last, and after exchanging
family solicitudes for several mo-
ments. the Judge asked the Major: .
"And dear. old Mrs. your aunt?
She must be rather feeble now. Tell
me, how is she?'
Buried her yesterday" said the
Major.
"Burled her? Dear ME, dear me'
Is the good old lady dead"
3 that's why we buried her"
was the Majors method Of ending
the subject.-Life.

SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF

Taking for His Text the Statement
That he is Being Described as
Conservative, Nebraskan Declares
That Radical measures Against
Private Monopolies Are Necessary
to Save Legitimate Wealth From
Odium.
yTrondhjem, Norway, By Cable
William J. Bryan. has arrived here
to attend the coronation of King Haa-
kon. MI. Bryan, taking for his text
the statement that he was being de-
scribed as conservative, said:
tI am not responsible for the
phrases used in regard to me; but
1 am responsible for my position on
public questions. That position
ought to be well known. Take the
trust question for instance, as it
seems uppermost just now. My po-
sition is, that private monopoly is in
dcfcnsibIe and intolerable. That
was the Democratic platform in 1900
and the plank was incorporated in
1904 and it is the only tenable posi-
ton.
"There is some talk Of controll-
ing the trusts-you might as well talk
of controlling burglary. We do not
say men shall not steal little bit,
OF in some particular way, but that
they shall not steal at all. 1t is so
of private monopolies. 1t is not suf-
ieient to control or regulate them
they must be absolutely and totally
destroyed. Corporations should be
controlled and regulated, but private
monopolies must be exterminated,
root and branch. Now you can call
that a radical doctrine. Yet it is
more conservative to apply this rem
edy now than to wait until predato-
ry wealth has by its lawlessness
brought odium on legitimate accumu
lations.
"What used to be called radical
is now called conservative because
people have been investigating. The
doctrine has not changed but public
sentiment is making progress.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will spend a
week in Norway and will then go to
England.
