was very severe, but there are no
fatalities reported. although large
trees were blown down and consider
able damage was done to growing
crops. -. Arthur Hasty Is carrying
his right arm in a sling as a result
of a difference with a Southern rail-
way conductor. Arthur's version of
the affair is about as follows: Last
Thursday night he bought ticket
from Gaffney to Greer, where he now
resides, and got on the train and
went to sleep. He was carried past
Greer, and when he awoke he was
near Seneca. He asked the conduc-
tor to give him a pass back to Greer
on No. So, but the conductor conceiv-
ed the idea that he was trying to
beat his way. Hasty insisted that
he went by the station unintention-
ally and went on to Toccoa, Ga,
when the conductor insisted on his
getting off. Hasty got the wrong hat
on leaving the train and started back
into the coach to exchange hats,
when the train started off. The con-
ductor being under the impression
that Hasty was insisting on beating
his way, told him to get off. He tried
to explain, but his explanation would
not be accepted, and the porter
pushed him from the steps while the
| train was In motion. The fall hurt
his back and broke one Of the small
bones of the wrist. Hasty insists
that he was raising no disturbance,
and that the account in the Green
Vile News is erroneous.
