HAIL BEATS ROOF
ALL TO PIECES
CHARLES SoUTHALL GIVES VIVID
DESCRIPTION OF THE BIG
STORM.

Charles P. Southall, who lives
south of Spring Hill, was in the city
this morning and gave a vivid descrip-
ton of the terrific hail storm that
swept over that section Thursday aft
ernoon. Mr.. Southall declared that a
new single roof on his residence
was all but ruined by the 1allstones
which were of unusual size. The
shingles in places were beaten into
kindling, letting the water in the
house and doing considerable dam
age. The greatest havoc was in the
gardens and corn fields. After the
storm was over Mr.. Southall said that
he walked into his garden and found
it completely obliterated, the vegeta-
bles being beaten into the ground.
Corn fields were ruined as complete
ly as they would have been had they
been subjected to a we'll directed
shrapnel fire. Some of the hail
stones we're as large as goose eggs.

DR.. LOGAN OPENS
UNION SERVICES WITH
AN ABLE SERMON
LARGE CROWD AT FIRST METRO.
DIST CHURCH FOR FIRST
MEETING.
DR.. CHEEK IN SOUTH COLUMBIA
Heard by Good Audience at the Frer-
son Memorial Presbyterian Church.
Dr. Logan's Strong DeIiverance on
Seeds SoWn.

Union services were inaugurated
Sunday night in two of the Columbia
churches. In the central portion of
the city, the services were held at the
First Methodist church with DR.. Lo-
gan, the pastor of the Garden street
Presbyterian church, in the pulpit.
The South Columbia churches Joined
in worship at the Frierson Memorial
church with Dr. Cheek preaching.
DR.. Logan's sermon was most elo-
quent logical and effective. His force
full talk did not fail to impress his
audience of interested listeneres, who
profited much by the truths laid down
in the discourse. The sermon was
straight to the point, and In the time
allotted for the sermon DR.. Logan
showed that he was not. only very IA
miliar with the truths of the Bible,
but also that he was a master of die
ton and the art of expression.
He took his text from thirteenth
chapter of Matthew, the eighteenth
verse, and spoke most feelingly of the
seed that fell on the rocky and barren
places of the earth and brought forth
no fruit He compared the seed to
the words that fell on the hearts of
men, and showed that there were four
classes of listeners into which all men
fell. The first class was composed
of men with stony hearts. There
might be little soil over the tops of
the stone, but as soon as the heat of
the day began with the rising of the
sun, the seed that was eagerly sprout-
ing upward to life and hope, was with
cred and ceased to exist.
The second class is composed, he
said, of the hearts that have been so
hardened by sin that nothing can ever
sink deep enough in them to attain
any measure of growth He compared
these men to the turn rows in his
fathers farm. The ground had be-
come so hard in them that it was i'm
possible for any seed to take root.
The third class is composed of mer
whose hearts are covered with thorns
These hearts are composed of good
ground, but this ground is socoveret
with thorns that there is not room
enough in them for the truths of the
| gospel to take root He declared thai
the thorns must be cleared away ant
that the fertile soil exposed to the
Christening effects of the weather il
| order for mans heart to arise in the
full power of its life and strength.
He showed that his fourth class was
composed of the men whose heart.
contained good ground which was I'm
4 hampered by thorns and thistles, ant
it was to these men that the truths o
the gospel appealed most, and to thes.
men that the future of the countr,
must look. He said that it was no
only to the men that these things ap
piled, but that the women also wer,
divided into the same classes.

mon. He spoke feelingly and withou

ENGINEER URGES GOVERNMENT
CONTROL OF ALL INDUSTRY
New York, Feb. Federal control
of industry generally was advocated
today to the industrial relations COM
mission by James Mackaye, a con-
sulting engineer and economist. of
Cambridge, Mass. Only until the
government fixes a standard for each
industry with minimum wage rate
and provision for a division of surplus
between the wage earners, the GUS
toners and the corporations them
selves, can industrial unrest be ended,
in his opinion.
"The government should fix prices
and generally supervise all business"
he declared. Il believe the estab-
Iishment of such a plan would cheap
en- the present OUtlandish high cost
of living and would remove absO-
IuteIy the present industrial unrest.

plOyes pull together at all times"
