STORM DAMAGES LEE COUNTY
HAIL AND WIND SWEEPS OVER
WESTERN SECTION.
Crops Badly Cut up-COnsiderab bile
Trouble In BishOpville, Where
lightning Strikes Number of
Houses.

Bishopville, June 16.-Last might
the whole western section of Lee
county was visited by one of the most
severe wind. electric and hail storm.
In Its history. In the town of Bishop.
Vile quite a lot Of damage was done
to the electric wires and six or more
houses were struck by lightning
knocking down chimneys and tearing
some Of them up considerably. Nc
one was killed or injured.
The section of the county known as
Spring Hnl was hit by a terrible hal
storm and wind Of cyclonic proper.
tions and quite q number Of outhouses
were blown down. From the state.
ments Of residents here this morning
from that township the crops were
we'll nigh totally destroyed by the
hail. One man said the hail was diff
ferent from the usual kind, in that
instead OF being in Jumps. it was in
large Nat pieces, in some cases as
large as q mans hand. and that the
cotton and corn where hit were cut
away as smooth as IL done with q
scythe.
This section OF the county is inhab-
tied by a sturdy. hard working. thrifty
class Of white people. who are depen.
dent upon their farms exclusively and
always. as was the case this year,
their crops are in fine condition and
well advanced In size and the damage
In this section is estimated as very
considerable.
Giving an idea Of the tremendo Gus
fall OF hail. one man reports that q
window was blown out Of his dining
room and that the hail came inside
Of the room to the depth Of six or
eight inches.
A conservative estimate Of the dam.
age done In Lee county Ia $4,000
this being based upon the supposi.
tion that the crops beat down will
come out and make something.
The most fortunate part Of the
whole story is that as far as can be
learned no one lost their lives and nc
one was seriously injured.
In the sections Of the county where
there was no wind or hail the rain,
came as most welcome relief from
a drought Of over seven weeks dura.
