Storm and Occupants Are
Injured.

Columbia. June 2S!-For two hours
this afternoon Columbia was visited
by a heavy storm OF wind, hail and
rain, accompanied by lightning and
thunder. The disturbance was the
most severe of its kind to strike this
section for some years Heavy dam
age was suffered by public service

all parts CT the city. Plate glass win
dows were blown in, signs and fences
were blown down. Office buildings
were flooded and yentilators were torn
from skylights Telephone and tele-
graph poles were blown down and
rrees were mutilated, making the
streets impossible in some places and
filing roadways with wires. AS re-
suit the city tonight is in darkness.
At least eight hundred telephones are
out of commission. Lightning struck
in many places within the city limits
and resulted in one small c2nfagra-
ton.
AS a result of road conditions re-
sulting from the storm an automobile,
three miles out of Columbia on the
Two Notch road, skidded and the ma
chine turned over and the occupants
violently thrown out Mrs j. D. Geld

a failure and that the salvation of the
educational system in this State de-
pends on consolidation into three
teacher schools.
Twenty-Five county superintendent
and nine rural supervisors have al
ready arrived to discuss common
school problems.
One of the chief advantages of at
tending the summer school is that
teachers have an excellent cpportuni-
ty to meet tie school officials VINO are
consulted by trustees in the selection
of teachers FOR the various schools of
the State.
At night the teachers are entertain
ed with music recitals, lectures and
stereopticon views along educational

TO REHABILITATE COMPANY
Confidence in It's Ultimate Solyency
Gr0wS-StatuS Not Certain.

New York, June 26.-Altcough
plans for a reorganization Of the H
3. Clafin company, which failed yes
terday with liabilities OF $34,OO0,OOO,
mad not become definite enough for
the issuance Of any statement today,
confidence in the ultimate solvency tf
the company became general.
Results Of meetings OF committees
of merchandise creditors and tle note
holding creditors were encouraging.
A C. Drew, secretary Of t1e merchan-
disc creditors committee, expressed
the hope that by immediate coopera-
ton the situation could be met. The
claims cf tie merchandise creditors
amounted to about $2,OOO,OO0, accord
ing to his estimate This brings the
total estimated liabilities of fhe failed
firm to $36,O00,O00.
James S. Alexander, chairman o.
the note holders committee, an
nounced that up to early tAis after
noon approximately $S,OOO,OO0 or be-
tween % and 80 per cent. of outstand
/ ing notes of H. B. Clafin company
! had been deposited, or intention Of
deposit had been signifed. 1t was u2
derstood that satisfactory progress
had been made in the preparation o,
plans for conserving the note holders
interest.
Confidence over the general mer-
camille situation was increased by the
announcement tbat Cornelius n Bliss,
newly elected president Of the Asso
ciated Merchants company and the
I United Dry Goods Companies, afiliat-
ed with the Claflin interests through
stock control, had been offered all tae
financial support that he needed. Re-
ceiyerships for the string Of nearly
80 Clafin stores throughout the coun-
try which Mr. Alexander said yester
day would take place at once, had up
to noon today been put into effect in
only six stores.
1t may be several weeks before the
exact financial status Of the Clafiin
company and smaller mercantile con-
Germs that failed with it can be es-
tablisAed, according to one of the re-
ceivers Of t2e company tonight.
I'VE have to get an inventory of
the stock Of the H B. CIafin company
and then ascertain the amounts OF
bills receivable, said Joseph B. Mar
tindale, who was named one OF the
receivers. After getting the facts
relative to that company it will be
necessary to ascertain the amount Of
stock and the financial condition of
the outside stores. As these stores are
widely scattered it will require some
weeks to get the information.
81 believe" ne continued, "taat it
will be possible to get condensed
statement saowing the affairs OF the
H. B. Clafin company much sooner,
but even this task will require many
days Of work
