In the terrific storm whichswept
through the county from the south
west to the northeast astThursday
afternoon Louis Williams, who re-
sided about three miles south of
town, was instantly killed. He
and Mrs. Williams were standing
in their door when thestorm broke
upon them. They started to run
to a place of safety when Mr.. Will
liams was struck on the neck by a
heavy piece of'fying timber. Mrs
Williams was not injured. Imme-
diately following the storm others
were reported killed, but this was
a mistake, we are glad to learn.
Leaving death, inquiry, grief and
devastation in its wake, the storm
was the most destructive that ever
struck our county. Besides one
death, scores were more or less in,
jured, two of whom can hardly
survive their injuries. Reports are
still coming in of widespread loss
of homes and damage to property.
In many instances scarcely any
thing remained to tell Of the happy
homes of a few moments before
the fury of the angry, raging ele-
ments swept almost everything in
it's path to instant destruction.
The greatest destruction occurred
on the farm of JudgeL. e. Davis,
nearCypress Greek, on Beaverdam
Greek and in Flatwoots, and the
results are more distressing in
some families than in others.
Like other equinoctial storms
which swept through the South
Thursday, carrying death and de-
struction through Texas, Louis
lana, NJ ississippi, Tennessee, Ala
bama and Georgia, the one that
stl uck here did not reach it's inten-
sity until it left HerdeMan County.

more than fifty houses wrecked

place, was wrecked; the dwelling
of Tom Mcclure and WillLatime
were damaged, and the homes o
George and Bud Barker were re

Perhaps the greatest damage il

A portion of the roofsof Judge
Davis dwelling was whipped off,
and practically ell of his barns and
lighthouses were wrecked, unroofed
or damaged beyond repair. He
lost more than thousand dollars
worth of timber, and a great deal
of>fencing will be to replace. In
going over the storm-swept zone
on his place last Sunday we saw
trees of large dimensions broken
off few feet above the ground,
and some trees were carried many
yards from where they stood. a
large oak tree near Judge Davis

ground. "A little south of their

communities. Great destruction
Sad to looksupon,, yet thrilling!
1t is said that almost everything
at the home of Mrs. Eliza Kennon
except her dwelling was destroyed.
Nearly all the outbuildings of s.
L. Presson were wrecked hey ond

killed. Hardly piece could be
found of the home of Alvin Bow

The dwellings on the farm Of
Judge Davis east of town occupied
by E. W. Hewley and Leonard
Davis were completely wrecked.
Mrs. Hawley and children had a
very narrow escape. She says that
after disengaging herself from the
wreckage she called her child and
began a search for it. FINALLY
after wlsat seemed all age to her
she heard it calling to her from
beneath some of the wreckage,
where it was piniened down, and
she rescued it. Roth are slightly
injured. Mr.. Hawley was working
at the gravel pit at the time.
Mrs. Leonard Davis and child
dren were less fortunate. They
live at the old&Fussell home, which
was a we'll built house. Only the
.foor remains. When Mrs. Davis
regained consciousness she was
lying in the garden east Of where
her home had stood; near her, al
most buried in the mud, was her
little son. She began a search for
her three-weeks' old baby, which
she located, by it's cries, further on
down the hill. She searched in
vain for their little daughter, and
Eherscreams for help were answered
by Lucas Davis, who, through q

FOR Benefit OF SCHOOLS

The News has framed up and sent on to Representative
Raulsto at Nashville the suboned law, for acceptance
rejection at the hands of the General Assembly. The
great point made by whskey rafckers and their friends
is that under prohibition and the consequent nocense
that all the revenue accrung from high license is lost
In other words that the raised from the open sale
of whiskey is missing The law which the News proposes
would put direct tax upon all Intoxicating malt bever
age which will be paid by the who buys and has it
shipped him express freight any other route
aud this money shall go the the benefit of the public
schools adjacent the locality where such liquors bever
ages received This later provision will put school
funds into the very sections where education is needed
w.t. where whskey drinking and the consequent crime and
ignorance predominant The presence of better Schools
and the consequent training towards better things may
perhaps change the character of community that there
will be little from the whskey drinking
By that time however, other arrangements for the
betterment of schools could be made:
