Big Damage Done i'm That Section by
HaiI-Oat Crop Wiped Out.

PinewoOd, May 12.--This town and
section was visited today at ] O'Clock
by one Of the largest and worst hail
storms that ever came this way. The
oat crop in the stricken area is almost
ruined, gardens suffered heavily. Sew
eral small buildings and fences were
blown down and in several residences.
the window glasses were broken.
Young chickens were killed by the
score. Some Of the stones were as
large as grown peach and laid on
the ground several hours before melt
ing. The cloud travelled from the
west and after it passed here, it
seemed as if it spread out and the
section of country between Sumter.
PaXville and Manning was being
wiped off the map. There was lots of
strong wind in the cloud, but it SEEM
ed to be high up, as the tops of large
trees were twisted off.

Its side walls, while the wooden walls
are hinged at the top so that they
can be opened at any angle desired,
chains holding them in position. In
this way ventilation can be obtained
and the interior protected from rain
or too much light. The upper section,
which has peaked roof, has a door
at one end and series of roosts ar.
ranged around the sides and ends on
the interior. One-half of the roof is
screened, too, and the top on this side
IS hinged SO that it can be kept open
Or closed. The entire roof can also be
Slid on or off at will. This arrange.
ment makes it easy to clean the house
thoroughly in all parts and keep it
we'll ventilated, thus eliminating in.
sect pests to great degree.

1T was learned this morning that
those drains on Hampton avenue and
Washington street were more in need,
of cleaning Sunday afternoon than
ever. 1t is possible that Council may
realize the Importance Of the drains
after the clayed streets are ruined
and new streets have to be built. 1T
is also possible that when they are
cleaned or relaid, that all surface,
openings will be protected with
gratings and sand tarps-or both.

won on my own tip-which thought

Tor about $4,000.
How about key" asked Bunch.
Il gave him the balance Of the last
rSmaining thousand for his work."
Bunch replied.
His work." I echoed.
Yes. his work to keep his face
