MUCH LIGHTNING AND THUNDER.
Many Telephone Fuses Burned OUT
Electic Lights out of Business for
Time.

Sumter was Tuesday night visited
by one of the worst electrical storms
of the season, ii beiug probably one
of the worst which has visited Sum-
ter in several years. Natures pyro-
technic display was one Of the most
awe inspiring spectacles of its kind
seen here in many months.
The lightning and thunder were
accompanied by terrific down pour
of rain which fell in torrents for
about an hour before it Stacked off
to drizzle. Comparatively little
damage was done by the lightning
and there was not sufficient wind to
damage trees or property. Coming AS
1t did after two of the hottest days Of
the summer the storm did much to
cool off the atmosphere and to make
1t possible for citizens to sleep well
during the night.
At the telephone exchange it was
reported that about a hundred fuses
had been burned out on various tele-
phones in town, but that otherwise
no damage was suffered. The Sumter
Lighting company also had a number
OF fuses burnt out and some other
slight damage which they were re-
pairing today and which they would
probably complete before night. No
wires were down. although the lights
had been put out Of business for sew
eral hours Tuesday night by the burn
ing out Of the fuses and the crossing
with telephone wires.

other apparatus for digging. The ac-
cident occurred about 11.3O and it was
we'll past 3 o'clock when the horse
was at last released from his uncOm-
Portable position. being finally dug
and priced out Of the hole.
The horse so far as could be seen,
was uninjured. but the buggy was
considerably damaged and the harness
