FERGUSON FARM
SUFFERED FROM
TUESDAY STORM

While damage from the storm Mon
day night and early Tuesday morning
was quite general in this section, the
greatest damage reported was upon
the plantation of Mr.. G. R. Ferguson,
just over the Sumter-Lee line, near
eDSoto, and known as his Hawkins
plantation. A terrific wind and hail.
storm prevailed there, destroying fields
of corn and cotton literally. One field
of $50 acres cotton was stripped Of
every leaf and boil, while 100 acres
corn is total loss. The stockade was
blown down and several fine mules
killed and others injured. MIR. Fergu
sons liss is estimated by those who
visited the farm yesterday to be quite
$4,000, although this estimate may be
somewhat excessive. Other farms n
the vicinity sustained damage, but not
to the extent that did Mr.. Fergusons.

NJ CRORY BOOK BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE
The State TO. Publish. Oyn School
Books, if Prices Submitted Are Too
High

Atlanta, Ca July. THE NEGRO
ry school book bill, to authorize the
state in testing the advisability OF
publishing its own text books, was
passed by the house today in a sub
stitute agreed toby Representative
McCrory, of Schley, author of the
original and leader of the long and
strenuous fight now ended in one
branch of the legislature The vote
in favor of the bill was 152 to 70.
One amendment was accepted, and
numerous others were rejected The
amendment provides that if the, books
specified in the bill, to be published
by the state, can be bought in the
open market at a cheaper price than
shown by the lo.west competitive biz
for their publication, they shall be
bought in the open market, and not
published by the state.
Friends of the substitute objected
to this amendment, saying it would
nullify the whole bill by permitting
book concerns to go under the lowest
bid with their open market prices, but
Representative McCrory saw little
danger of that and accepted the
amendment.
The measure provides that the state
shall experiment with publication Of
two text books Qnstead of five, as in
the original bilD, one of which shall
be book on civics and the other a
book on some other subject
The publication shall be made by
contract on competitive bids.
