Storm at Greenwood.

Between the hours Of six and sew
en- on the evening of the 10th,
Greenwood was visited by power
full hail, wind and rain storm ac-
companied by severe lightning. The
wind blew with great velocity and
did quite a little damage. Sew
houses are roofless, the oil mill has
broken roof and a corner of the
roof of the Bailey Military Insti-
tute was blown away. For while
the electric lights were disconueco-
ed with the station but late that
night the wires were repaired. Sew
eral trees were blown down and
parts of streets were Uttered with
leaves and broken branches. Crops
also were damaged; one man report
ing that his corn was laid perfectly
fat by the heavy hail and strong
wind. The storm seems to have
been purely local,as so far, we have
heard no reports from other places.
The down Southern train, due here
at 7:30, was several hours late.
Whether this was caused by the
blow or not, we have failed TO find
out.
During the early part of the day
business men were making remarks
about the excessive heat. A young
man working in local bank COM
planned about the electric fans
throwing warm and hot currents of
air about the office instead of cool
breezes, while doctor stated that
to keep the wind from blistering his
face and hands while motoring, he
had to put up the windshield. As
to the truth of these two statements
we shall let the reader determine.

Advocates Improving Highway

Street to Ninety Six. Many years
ago this was an importlnt line
travelled with the stage system. They
carried passengers. mail, etc.
Now the distance from Augusta
to Edgefeld would be % miles of
claying and grading from Edge6eld
to Meeting Street 10 miles, Meet
ing Street to Ninety Six ls miles,
making lin all somewhere about so
miles. Now the plan thai think
should be started to put this road
in good shape is to get Aiken,
Edgefeld and Greenwood county
boards to agree to give SO per cent
of the work and the balance can be
raised by public subscription.
S., 900 would put this load in good
shape: I think that this matter is
of much importance to your town,
especially the merchants. This
would bring many more people
from the country to your town and
it would be much travelled by auto
mobiles and auto truck could make
the trip from Augusta to Ninety
Six and return, each day carrying

DANGER POINTED OUT.
President Farmers Union
Writes Concerning Pur-
chase of Land by For

To officials and members of the

" OACldlo dnu "OhUCt5 VI Cu0
Union:
In previous utterances I have had
something to say about alien or
foreign ownership of our farm
lands, particularly of lands in the
South adaptable to cotton.
have said that it was an alarm
ing development, and people have
pooh.poohed such narrowness of
views, and, at any rate, it wasn't
very bad, and only few English
or French spinners were experiment.
ing! That is what / got for sound
ing an alarm, which l believed then
formed a serious menace, and which
now / am absolutely sure is the
case.
Now, listen, you scoffers and un-
believers. Do you know that be-
tween twelve and thirteen million
acres of the finest cotton lands in
the South are now owned outright
by foreign. individuals and corpora
tions? Do you know that agents
of these foreign individuals and
c,iorporations,are constantly working
TO get more millfe6fs ofsacrss of fthe, !,
cream 6fa COTTON lands? Doa YOU
know that foreign spinner ays send

sgrieIt ItaraI ollsgss and schools! e 70 ,
take Charge of these broad acres,
cultivate and raise cotton to ship to
spinners in England, France and
other foreign countries?
Do you think deep and sense
what this means? Do you know
that it means the actual production
of cotton in the South on farms
owned and cultivated ty foreigners,
and whose product will go direct to
their mills in England, France and
other ountries2 In plain words,
s re E are sitting supinely By while
foreign capital and corp poratiionsF 7
are taking our Oldest, richest and
greatest heritage right from under
our noses.
Time may not be far distant
when our own people, the men who
have raised and supplied the world
with it's cotton for generations, will
he restricted absolutely to the home
market. Sounds scary, and / want
it to sound 80, for it is time to get
scared bit.
There is, too, the other grave
danger in this new something we
are now to face, that of absorption
of our farm lands by foreign own
ership. Conditions are bad enough
in all conscience by constantly
growing city and town ownership
of farm lands, which are cultivated
by tenants or not cultivated at ALL.
These things all tend further to
destroy our homecoming, home
making type of farmer. the back
bone and sinew and soul of our na-
tioual life. You people who have
been preaching and working and
theorizing on back to-thefarm"
movement, think over these things
bit.
Here is the innerness of things
and it is for wise and sane men to
solve them. / ask national leaders,
thinkers, men who really want to
do something, to ponder these
things seriously.
