er destructive hail storm visited this
county Tuesday evening, the heaviest
portion Of which struck the river Sec
ton. Among the plantations on which
the greatest damage was inflicted are
those of Messrs. w. Med. Brown, d.
L. Adams, w. ]. Williams and John
Bell. The hail fell for nearly an hour
and was accompanied by severe wind
and much rain. Both cotton and corn
were seriously injured, and in some
localities the cotton plant was practi-
cally ruined. Hundreds of acres are so
badly affected that the yield cannot
possibly exceed half a crop even un-
der the most favorable conditions.
Corn was not only hurt by the hail
stones, the blades being split into rib
bons, but fields Of it were blown down
by the wind.
CHESTER.
Lantern, July II: Mrs. T. II. White
went to Spartanburg last Wednesday
to spend some time with her father
and at Glenn Springs. Mr.. White ac-
companied her and returned yesterday.
The boys, who have been visiting
their aunt, Mrs. Breeder in Benefits
VILE, are also there. .... Jennie, aged
three months and six days, the infant
daughter Of Mrs. l. V. Oglesby, died
at 8 O'Clock Wednesday morning. July
10, at the home Of its grandfather,
Mr.. ]. T. Goodwin, on Pine street.
Mr.. Goodwin and family moved here
from Hampton county about two
weeks ago, and in a few days after
their arrival the little one was taken
with malarial fever from which she
died. Mr.. ]. T. Goodwin, accompanied
by Mr.. R M. White, left on No. 3S
Wednesday for his old home in Hamp-
ton county, where the little body would
be laid to rest ... Mr.. VIM. T. Stew
art Of Slower, was in town yesterday
morning to meet his brother, Frank X.
Stewart, who arrived from Texas, az
ter seven years residence there. Mr..
Stewart gives a good report Of crop
and other conditions, though boil Wee
wills are quite numerous. They did
very little damage last year, but the
mild winter enabled them to come
through in good shape for action. He
says Texas Is not the kind Of country
It was formerly represented to be, and
not what it actually was at an earlier
date. Many of the people are as good
as can be found anywhere, and among
the very best citizens are descendants
Of men who were regarded as reckless
Adventures. Mr.. Stewart says laws
are much better enforced there than
here. If one man uses insulting Ian
guage to another, he must pay pen
atty. If a man carries pistol 1t means
that he has to go to Jail thirty days
and pay a fine besides. No favors are
shown, and there is no begging off or
paying out. The consequence is that
the law is feared and respected. Mr..
Frank T. Wrenn, who went to Texas
from the Bascomville neighborhood
twelve years ago, came with Mr. Stew
art. He has visited his native state
almost every year.
