HAIL THREE FEET DEEP.
Terrifdce Storm Sweeps Over Por-
ton of Orange County, Causing
Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of
Damage to Crops,

Durham, Special.-From parties
who were in the city today particu-
lars Of a hail storm that did great
damage in the northern part OF Or
ange county Tuesday night were
learned. The loss was something
fearful, large planters losing every
thing. The hail belt was from three
quarters to amile in width. The
storm did not last more than Is or
20 minutes. In that length Of time
thousands Of dollars worth Of prop
erty was destroyed. In some
Places" said NJ. S. I. Pittard, who
lost his entire crop OF tobacco, oats,
cotton and corn, ''the ice was piled
three feet deep yesterday morning.
This was in bitches, Or places where
it was rifted." Continuing, he said
that yesterday moving one of his
neighbors gathered a guano sack full
Of the hail stones and carried them
to Hillsboro, 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 Saterfeld, D. L. Wells,
William Ellison, Will Wright, Chas.
Wilson, Mrs. Anderson and numbers
Of 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 II miles
north Of Hillsboro, near Carr's post
office. Here the belt was little more
than a half mile wide. At Caldwell,
a distance of nine or ten miles, the
loss was fearful. The average width
Of the belt vas probably from three
quarters to one mile. The storm
went intowards the western part of
Person county.
One year ago this same section was
visited by a fearful hail storm ana
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
a little removed from the old belt
and the losers this year las a rule,
are those who escaped the destruc-
tive storm a year ago.
MI. 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 a
single blade left on the stalks.

President Roosevelt Decides to
See For Himself
WILL GET INFORMATION DIRECT
Announcement is Made at White
House That the Chief Executive
Will Sail on One Of Nays Big
Cruisers in Latter Part of October
or Early November, to See Wheth-
er Dirt is Flying-Wu Confne
Visit to American Zone.

Washington, Special.-President
Roosevelt will visit the Isthmus of
Panama to make a personal investi-
cation Of the work Of construction Of
the Panama canal.
This announcement was made at
the White House by Secretary Loeb
after a conference with the Presi-
dent. 1t is expected the President
will leave Washington for Panama
the latter part Of next October or in
the early days of November. He will
be absent about three weeks. The trip
probably will be made on one Of the
big cruisers of the navy, but what
vessel will carry the President and
his party is not yet known.
None Of the details Of the trip has
yet been worked out. Beyond the
bare decision to make the trip, the
President has reached practically no
conclusions. 1t is likely he will be
accompanied on the journey by Sec
rotary Taft and Chairman Shonts, Of
the Panama canal commission, but
even this has not been determined
definitely.
Wants to See For Himself.
The President long has desired per-
sonally to inspect the route OF the
canal and to make himself personally
familiar with the great undertaking
Of constructing the waterway. The
decision announced today, that he
will visit the American zone on the
lsthmus Of Panama, was not reached
hastily but has been under considera-
ton for a considerable time. 1t is
the expectation that the President
will be able to spend at least a week
on the canal zone, and in that time
he will familiarize himself with the
situation by a study of it at close
range. He believes a personal visit
to the canal zone will enable him to
gather information that will be Of
immense advantage not only to the
canal work itself, but to Congress- and
to the American people. Above all,
it will enable him to handle with an
absolute knowledge of the situation
the great problems which will con
stantly be arising in connection with
the work of canal construction ano
administration.

constantly inventing some plan to
tax the people for his benefit or the
advantage of the tariff forstered trusts
and combines that republican officials
are SO anxious to favor through the

vice, the mind OF the farmer is, when
he thinks about the matter, wonder
ing why wheat is low and trust prices
high.
The people, of course, are anxious
for the regulating OF railroad and eX-
press rates to begin, but there can be no
objection to the decision Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission to give
the corporations reasonable time to
prepare their schedule Of rates. It's
a big job, no doubt, and upon those
schedules all future work will be pre-
dicted SO a little delay may make
