FOURTEEN PLACES IN RUIN.
THRILLING MATTER STARTED THE MOE
At ROANOKE, VA, AFTER GREEKS.

Roanoke, Va, July 14.-Roanoke is
quiet to-day, after four hours of ,ioting
last night, when mob wrecked nine
Greek restaurants, three Greek shoe
shine parlols, and two Syrian shops.
The riot was caused by dispute about
8 cents between Greek employed in
the Belmont Greek restaurant, on Salem
avenue, and an American, who went
there to buy q sandwich.
Nine places were wrecked on Salem
avenue, three In jefferson street, one on
Nelson street and ono on, railroad ave.
nue.. Five men have been arrested and
lodged In Jail, and one of them has been
released on $3.50 bail for his appearance
at the hearing of the case in the police
court next Thursday. None of the
Greeks are under arrest n'
At all of the wrecked places TO- day the
proprietors set to work cleaning out the
debris 30 as to be ready to resume busi-
ness. The Greeks have employed coun-
sci to look after their interests, and have
called the attention of the Greek con-
sulate In this country to the affair.
While the disturbance was in progress
last night, Mayor Joel II. Cutohin, who
was in the street begging the crowds to
dispurse, was struck on the legs and
severely bruised by rocks thrown by
unknown parties. Flying stones also
struck Police Justice j. R. Bryan, Police

ming, King and Evans, and Chief Engi-
neor John Waggoner, of the Central fire
department. Waggoner is on crutches
to-day. The fire department was called
out to throw water on the crowd, and
when the hose was unwound there were
cries of "cut the hose," and "shoot him"
One man struck a knife in the hose, but
was driven off by the big stream that
was played on him.
The mayor ordered the police to guard
the hardware stores to prevent the mob
from raiding those places in search of
firearms. The larger restaurants, which
were elaborately furnished with mirrors,
had their interiors demolished. The
only Greek places not wrecked were two
large confectionery stores run by men
not identified with the restaurant bust.

SEVERE STORM NEAR BELT0N.
PATH FOUR MILEs LONG AND TWO AND
A HALF MILES WIDE.
[Anderson Daily Mail.

Belton, July 10.--What is conceded
to be the heaviest rainfall that has Wis
tied this section in long number of
years passed over last night between
$50 and 10 O'Clock. The rain was accom-
panied by furious wind and heavy
fall Of hail. Every farm in the section
east OF here from Big creek down as low
as Calhoun suffered severely from the
downpour Of hail. The farms of j. M.
Gambrell, N. A. Cox, j. P. Hunter, W..
A. Gsmbrell, r. A. Lewis, T. j. Cox and
others suffered dissstrously, entire fields
of cotton being stripped Of every vestige
of foliage, nothing remaining but bare
stalk few inches high. Upland corn is
severely injured By being blown aud
twisted, while bottom land will be almost
a total loss, the corn being completely
submerged, and all the top soil washed
off. The strip of country effected is
about four miles long and Two and a half
miles wide.
Owing to the excessive heat preceding
the storm the atmosphere was heavily
charged with electricity. A number of
insulators on the Bolton Power Com
pany's line were burned out, and the
mill is running with steam, but by this
afternoon it is hoped to have all the
breaks repaired and the current turned
on again.

killed and fifteen injured. None of the
persons in the turret escaped injury.
Three of the injured, Liout. Goodrich

very critical condition when brought
into the hospital, and it was announced
that their injuries were probably fatal.
Lieut.. Goodrich has unauestionably lost
the sight OF both eyes and Is terribly

after the explosion, with the apparent
motive of easing the terrible suffering
from their burns. Both of the mon

from the ammunition hoist to load an
S-inch gun. 1t was seen to be burning,
and in an instant it exploded in the very
face of the loader of the gun.
No damage was done to the vessel, as
the powder was not confined. How the
powder became ignited is not known,
but the theory held at the navy yard is,
that it was set off by a spark from the
smokestack of the warship.

SIX YEARS AS JUDGE OF COURT

Mayor, and has also reviewed, in brief
his entire term in office.
recorder Myrick was elected 10 the
position of Recorder at the age of %
years and continued in office longer
than any one who has ever filled the
office of Recorder here. He originated
the idea of making an annual report
after he had been in Office one year,
and since then has made five annual
reports to the Mayor, which are inter-
esting records.
During 1906 the Police Court COM
mitted to the City Court and the Su-
perior Court the largest number of
cases involving violations of the state
laws ever before committed, the total
number being LIP.
Following the recommendation made
by the Recorder in his report for the
year 1905 for the passage of law by
the Legislature of the state remodel
ing the court, extending it's powers and
jurisdiction, and creating the office of
| clerk of the court, he prepared such
a law, with the assistance of the city
attorney.
This law was approved by the Mayor
and aldermen and was passed by the
Legislature, and is found in the acts of
the General Assembly.
The passage of this law placed the
Police Court upon substantial basis
Its powers are no longer ambiguous,
as was the case prior to the passage of
this law. In its jurisdiction and pro-
cedure it now ranks with the most per-
feet municipal courts in the country

From the eastern to the western
border of Sumter the keen blade of the
farmer has forever stifed the piglet
and, undressed and diyested of his
squeal, he is either brought TO town
and sold to the unfed citizen here or
sausageized at home. Thousands OF
pounds-tens of thousands-of pork
has been butchered here this week and
farmers are hopeful that the weather
will continue cold long enough to save
it. To be upon the safe side, many
farmers are uniointing the meat and
using bOrax and other personalities
Not in years has there been such a
quantity of meat killed here, and to
save it means a most important item
for the farmer. Yesterday wagon loads
of meat, sausage and other by
products of pigdom were brought to
Americas, and the concerted rush of
hungry citizens for each wagon sug-
gested football game between rival
clubs on the gridiron.
