ly damaged by fire last Wednes-

alone in the house, his family

A party of negroes were gamb-

upon the floor in the circle, a bolt
of lightning struck near the party,

and stakes far and near. The one
player not affected lost no time
in getting away from the place,
not waiting to give assistance to
stricken fellow players, but leav-
ing them to resuscitate as best
they could. All of them revived
and were not much the worse
for their experience.

Observer: A severe hail storm
swept the lower portion of the
state, yesterday doing great lam.

cases literally wiping them out.
The loss will fall specially heavy
on the poorer classes of farmers
who could not afford hail storm

which the farmers had not fully
recovered when this last catas.

Smoak was razed to the ground,

At Camden the hail was as

and skylights being broken and
cows and dogs and horses being
sent bowling to shelter. The
Cherokee greenhouse, which ca.

Special School Districts--Im-

the order was filed is that of At

b. McCaw as chairman of the
Yorkville board of school trus-

act of the last Legislature ex.
tending the limits of the York

two and a half miles, bringing

on the ground that this act was

Ger appeared in his own behalf
while Mr.. McCaw represented his
board. The contention OF the
defense, which appears to have
been sustained by the court, is
that the constitution of 1895
specially provides for special le-
gislation in the case of school
districts. At every session OF
the Legislature for the past len
years or more such special acts
have been passed, and decision
in Mr.. Spepcer's favor would
have created a profound stil
