In Heavy Thunder
Storm of Last
Euerliing

Fairmont was again visited by Sc.
we're thunder and lightning storm last
evening and considerable damage was
the result of the visitation.
The storm began at about four
O'clock In the afternoon and contineud
well Into the night. 1t reached It's In.
tensity- about seven o'clock when a
heavy bolt struck the barn OF William
crlss on State street. First ward, kill.
ing one horse outright and severely
lnjurIng another one.
Mr.. Criss who is at present employ
ed by Mr.. J. Fay Watson was en- route
to his born last evening at the time
the building was struck, while his two
sons, Frank and c. W.. were in the
barn feeding the horses. Three teams
of horses were kept in the barn and
1t seems almost miraculous that only
one of the horses was killed. 1t is be-
lieved that all OF the horses were
stunned as they submitted to being
led from the burning stable, thing
which is unusual with horses in cases
of fire.
The criss brothers were seated on
a box engaged in conversation and
both were knocked to the ground by
the bolt, though neither were injured.
Mr.. criss was also knocked to the
ground, being near the stable when II
was. struck.
A fence across the alley from the
barn was struck and torn down and a
telephone pole nearby was splintered.
Many people residing in the vicinity
OF the barn were slightly shocked
among the number being lady who
was seated on a nearby porch.
Soon after the, building was struck.
1t was discovered that the barn was
afre and call was quickly sent in to

TERMS.
To the Friends of Education.

The Institute held in August of this
year was the best session Berkeley
county has ever held. The chief fac
tors in this success were: first, the free
mlngling of county and city teachers
and the spirit of comradeship shown;
second. the cheerful, willing efforts
put firth by all members of the insti-
tute in its behalf, No one seemed to
shirk committee service, program
WORK, or FOUND table discussions. The
spirit produced by these two factors
contributed more than anything else
10 make the institute helpful.
This article is written now to ask
county and city teachers aud all others
interested in educational progres to
help make the Berkeley County Edu-
cational Association still larger sue
cess than ii has been. This society, or
ganizea about eight years ago, has in :
spired an increased number of growing
teachers each year, and it is strictly in
line with institute work, school work :,
ana general education. The papers
and talks given by teachers and lead
ing citizens, and The free, active dis
cusslons following them, have been
very helpful, The met aud women
