HOUSES ARE BLOWN DOWN.
Heavy Wind Does Some Damage In
Lancaster County.

Lancaster County.
One Of the worst wind storms tha;
has ever visited In these parts, as
suming at times cyclonic proportions,
struck Lancaster between l and 2
o'clock Thursday night, and continu-
ing with unabated fury throughout
the hight, caused considerable dam
age in many sections of the oommun-
ity. Numerous outhouses, small
barns and fences were blown down.
and in some instances carried sevsral
hundred. yards away. A number III
chimneys and stove hues have heep
,azed to the ground as II from an
earthquake shock. Numbers Of BILL
boards, signs and other pieces Of
lumber were to be seen scattered
here and there along Main stresl
Friday morning. No reports Of dam
ages In tho rural districts have yet
reached there, but 1t is thought that
considerable damage, especially In
some sections, was done. The veloc-
ity Of the wind during the day, tho
somewhat abated, is still so great as
to cause anxiety.

A Reform That is Needed.

The Spartanburg Journal says the
State legislature should pass some
measure, requiring registration and
proof that all taxes have been paid
before permitting any person to cast
a ballot. II man does not pay his
taxes, then certainly, he has not the
interest Of the State at heart and he
should be denied the ballot. Senator
Tiilman says stringent rules and
regulations are required. The rules
should be few, plain and simple, but
they must be enacted into law in Or
der to compel compliance.

Discovers Preservative for
Keeping Fish and Reptiles

WASHINGTON May IS. = After
years of experimenting scientists of
the National Museum have discov-
cred a preservative for keeping spec
linens OF fish and variety of rep
tiles in their natural colors. The
scheme provides for coloring the spec
linens while alive with an alcohol
resisting paint so that a bright COL
ored fish can be mounted in clear al
cohol and remain lifeIike indefinitely
The experiments have been tried
on a number of fish specimens and
have proved a success. The same ex-
periments will be used with snakes,
lizards and other reptiles.
