In the case Of many Of the foregoing
their crops are completely ruined, and
in the case of others the damage Is only
partial. In the aggregate however, the
persons named are cultivating close to
5000 acres. They do not include nearly
all that are hurt. Putting the total
value Of their crops at $50 an acre
however, the aggregate value would be
$150000. This Is probably liberal es-
innate for the value Of the crops; but
many of the people mentioned have
sustained losses from wind as well as
hail and there Is reason to believe that
the estimate Of the total loss Is conser-
vative.
From the most reliable estimates to
be obtained the damage to the Glover
manufacturing company is close to
$4,000. There is no storm insurance
on the mill proper; but the destroyed
cottages are pretty we'll covered. The
property losses sustained by the oper-
atives though quite heavy to the losers
do not amount to great deal in the
aggregate. So far as could be learned
none of them had any insurance.
Mr.. M. L. Smith, secretary and treas
urer and general manager Of the Clo-
yer cotton manufacturing company
was away from home when the storm
occurred; but when the reporter went
to Glover yesterday morning he found
that Mr.. Smith had not only returned ;
but he had already put to work large
force of men clearing up the debris
saving stock in process and getting
the wreck in shape for complete re-
storation at the earliest possible mo-
will be in operation again within two
or three weeks and in order to give
employment to as many hands as pos
sible 1t will probably be run night and
day.
It will probably be several months
before all the mill can be put to run
ming again, and although many Of the
mill operatives will find employment In
helping to straighten things out, most
of the others will likely have an uphill
time Of 1t until things get in shape
again.
Among the farmers whose crops have
been destroyed there are many who will
not be seriously crippled by the blow;
but there are many others who can III
afford to stand such backset. II
means a loss of all they had and In
some instances more than they had. In
quite a number of cases the crops had
been made on credit by means Of ad-
vances furnished by merchants, and In
some Of these cases there Is nothing
left for either merchant or farmer. The
conditions are terribly distressing
However, as Mr.. J. A. Page. cashier OF
the Glover bank, put 1t yesterday
There has been nothing destroyed ex-
cept things that were put here by. man,
and man can put them all back
