visited by a heavy storm Of wind,
hail and rain, accompanied by light

Plate glass windows were blown in,
signs and fences were blown down.
Office buildings were flooded and

Telephone and telegraph poles we're
blown down and trees m%utilated,
making the streets impossible in
some places and filling roadways
with wires. AS a result the city to-
night is in darkness. AT least eight
hundred telephones are out Of com
mission. Lightning struck in many
places Within the city limits and re-
suited in one small confagration.
AS a result of road conditions re-
sulting from the storm an automo-
bile three miles out of Columbia on
the Two-Notch road, skidded, the
machine turned owe and the occu-
pants were violently thrown out.
Mrs. j. d. Goldson, of Columbia, sus-
tanned a broken arm, broken collar
bone and fractured ribs. Miss Vickie
Sauls, Of Orangeburg, suffered a bro
ken c~ollarbone. Both were hurried
to Knowlton's Hospital. Other occu~
