Much Damage Done Around Cope.

Cope. November 19.-This section
was visited by quite a gale last even
ing between and o'clock, and this
morning evidence of it's effects were
seen on every side. Fences and trees
were down in many places, telegraph
poles leaning, being held by the wires,
and barns, sheds, haystacks and out
houses were more or less badly dam
aged. The worst heard of and seen
so far was the damage of Mr.. j. B..
Williams's place, on the Branchville
road, about two and quarter miles
below Cope. Mr.. Williams's large
barn and stables combined, and in
which was lot of corn, quantities OF
hay and fodder and ten head of horses
and mules, was completely wrecked,
killing two horses and three mules.
The corn pile held the weight of the
timbers from MASKING one horse and
one mule, and two mules broke out
on one side as it was falling and es-
capped, while third was caught and
hurt, but will get over it. Three large
mock-orange trees near the dwelling
were uprooted and barely missed the
house and dining room to the rear.
An oak standing in front of tenant
house a couple of hundred yards down
the road from Mr.. Williams's large
dwelling was also blown down, and
carried part of the piazza shed with
it. Mr.. Williams's loss will amount
to fifteen hundred, or perhaps two
thousand dollars.
A barn on Mr.. J. NJ. Green's place,
a mile from here, and where William
Robinson, colored, lives, was also
blown down, and destroyed buggy
and two-horse wagon.
A large COW barn on Mr.. G. C. Mil
ler's place, two miles from Cope, and
in an exactly opposite direction to
that of Mr.. Williams's, was also blown
down.
Several trees at Old Union church
were felled by the wind and some OF
the fences around the graves dam
aged.

STORM VISITS BAMBERG.
Much Damage Results from High
Wind Last Thursday.

Last Thursday night Bamberg was
visited by the worst storm in years.
Much damage about the city and in
the country has been reported. At
times the wind attained velocity of
approximately fifty miles an hour. The
worst damage in the city was the
blowing down of signs, breaking OF
window glasses and crippling the elec-
trio light and telephone systems.
The storm was brewing all day, and
by early nightfall, the wind was very
high. By seven o'clock, the electric
wires became so badly torn and tan
gled that it was necessary to cut OFF
the power, leaving the city in dark
ness through the night. The tele-
phone company experienced a great
deal of trouble, many phones being
put out of commission by poles be-
ing blown down, or the wires becom-
ing crossed.
On Main street many store signs
were blown down. Mr.. E. A. Hooton' S
store sign fell against the plate glass
door, smashing the glass. A portion
of the large plate glass window OF
the Enterprise Bank was blown in;
a door in Mr.. J. D. Copeland's store
was broken, and the large name plate
over the store of G. R. Brabham' S
Sons's was carried away. The top of
one of the chimneys of Trinity church
was also blown down.
Many trees were blown down or up
rooted, and a. number of electric wires
and telephone poles were razed to
the ground. No serious damage was
reported from any portion of the city,
and no one was injured, although
there were some narrow escapes.
The roof of an engine house of the
Hacker Manufacturing company, at
Ehrhardt, was smashed in by the i'm
pact of the wind, injuring an engine
Mr.. J. B. Williams, of near Cope,
was the worst loser in this section,
his barn blowing down, and killing
five head Of fine stock.
