ENTH STREET TORN CON-
PLETELY OFF.
PEOPLE BADLY FRIGHTENED
Windows Are sroken-Telephones
Are Out Of Commission In Many
Homes-Hail Accompanies Wine.
No Stock Reported Lest.

A terrific wind storm, aGCOmDa-
MED by rain and hail, swept over Co
lumbia last night and damaged sew
eral buildings and tore" down tele-
phone wires in several sections OF the
county. The worst damage to build
ings was on West Seventh street,
where the roofs of Kuhn's, Knebel's
and an adjoining vacant house were
removed from their supports and car
ried several feet and piled several
feet high on other buildings.
The roofs of the stores were COW
cred in tin, but the wind carried the
rafters and all with it and this morn
ing when the stores were opened
there was no roof to protect them
from rain and cold. Workmen were
put to work Immediately repairing
the damage and they will complete
their work in few days.
The telephone companies report
much damage to their wires, the
trouble being caused by trees falling
and knocking the wires to the ground
Hundreds of telephones in the city
and county are out of commission to-
day on Z count of the storm.
A large plate glass window of W.
W. Evans & Co on West Seventh
street was demolished by the wind.
Many of the citizens sustained minor
damages. No loss of life to stock
has been reported The wind blew
hard all night, but the worst of the
storm came about o'clock this morn
ing Many of the people Of Column
bia were not aware of the miniature
cyclone when they awoke this morn.
ing and were surprised that they
could sleep when the wind was howl
ing loudly without.
Following the storm, the tempera-
ture began to fall and by daylight
the air was crisp. Many of the peo-
pie of the city were awakened by the
storm and they arose badly frighten-
ed for fear their homes would crum-
BILE beneath the pressure Of the high
wind.
The Western Union Telegraph Co.
suffered great deal of damage from
the storm Scores of wires were
blown down and all communication
between Columbia and other cities
was cut off and at noon today the
wires had not been repaired No
messages could be sent or received.
Many people who were anxious to
send telegraphic messages were dis
appointed when they were told that
it was impossible to send them at
once.
The Western Union wires are down
all over the county and large force
of wiremen were put to work early
this morning repairing the damage.
1t is thought that communication
with Nashville and other cities will
be resumed this afternoon.

Lying there, she seems to be sleeping,
With her locks Of pale gold hair
Smoothed back from her marble cold brow
Entwined with flower-wreath band.

Her lips, yet wreathed with smile,
Enclosing are seeming to say:

The pearly gate stands open.

At the meeting of the governor and
council Tuesday an order was passed
providing for the purchase by the state
of the tuberculosis sanatorium at He
bron, also that at Fairfield.
In each case tho amount to be paid Ia
SIS, 900, which it hardly need be said is
merely a nominal price for what has cost
many times that. The purchase is made
under an act of the last legislature, by
the terms of which the state is to take
over these institutions and run them.
This act provides for the admission to
the institutions of people from any part
of the state, suffering from tuberculosis,
to the capacity of the institution. The
charge for treatment, as fixed by the
statute, is not to exceed five dollars per
week, and in the case of needy patients
the expense of treatment may be laid
upon the state
