MIDDLE GEORGIA
BADLY DAMAGED.
by HAIL STORM.

MACON, Ca, June Hail that ac-
companied storm of tornado violence
yesterday afternoon caused heavy loss
to peach growers and farmers in
Crawford, Bibb, Twiggs and corner
of Houston county, four counties in
middle Georgia. Hailstones measuring
four inches in cireumferences fell in
some places. In fifteen minutes from
the time the storm broke in some sec
tions fields were covered with three
inches of hailstones. Where the hail
stones drifted there were piles six
to eight inches deep
Peach orchards in the path of the
storm were stripped of their fruit
growing corn was stripped of its
leaves; cotton shared a similar fate and
watermelon vines were ruined. Thous-
ands of acres of peaches, many o.
which were ready to be placed on the
market, were ruined Corn, some of
which was waist high, will have to be
plowed under and replanted. Peaches
| in the belt struck by the hail are n
total loss.
Byron, Fort Valley, Marshallville and
ether sections southest of Fort Val-
ley had a violent wind, but no hail.
The loss in dollars and cents is
difficult to estimate One man who rode
through the district shortly after the
storm, said that the peach crop hac
been cut short a thousand cars by the
storm, in his opinion. Another pre-
dicted that the loss to middle Georgians
would be around million dollars.
According TO reports from different
POINTS in the storm-swept area and
from persons returning from trip
through the peach bels, the storm
broke above Byron, in Crawford coun-
ty, when two dangerous storm clouds
met.
Byron suffered heavily from the wind
that followed, but there was little hail
in that peach section. A few miles
rorth of Byron. at Roberta, in Craw-
ford county, peach orchards were strip
ped of their fruit by the hail and the
damage is heavy The temperature
dropped from close to 80 to around
20 degrees. AS the hail fell dense
vapor or fog, rose and for more than
an hour automobilists had to feel their
way over the country roads and train
crews had to operate their trains az
slow speed.
The hail seemed TO have jumped from
! Roberta to a section between the Echo
connee and Tobesofkee creeks along
the border line between Bibb and Craw :
fcrd counties. where it continued south
westward through Bibb county. across
Twiggs county. losing its force as L
reached Jeffersonville. A swath about
two miles in width through this dis
trict is a S barren as it was last wintet

GRAY GLAD HOSTS.
THRONG STREETS
OF CAPITAL CITY

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 4.-The
nations capital presented unique ap-
pearance today as the faded grey uni
forms of thousands of veterans here
for the Confederate reunion, begin
ming tomorrow, mingled with smartly
khaki-clad young men who are in
training for service in France. Speciat
trains brought many veterans here to-
day. and it is estimated that $4,000 will
arrive before the reunion festivities
reach their zenith.
The big event of the gathering, the
parade and review by the president OF
the United States, will take place
Thursday morning and on Friday, the
final day, the veterans will go to Get
tysburg battlefield to take part in the
dedication of the Virginia memorial,
the central part of which is an eques-
trian statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Probably for the first time in his
tory Confederate battle flags are fly
ing in great numbers over the city,
and in places where for several weeks
they have fneted alongside the colors
OF France, Great Britain, Italy and the
other allies, more than one puzzle |
spectator has had to brush up to
determine the identity of the new
ally"
The veterans will camp upon the
great Union Square plaza and congress.
working almost frantically speeding
up measures of national defense, need
only look out of it's windows to see a
once hostile army bivouacked almost
in the shadows of the national capital.
Many veterans went to Arlington yes
terday and there paid tribute to the
South's dead President and Mrs. Will
son attended the services but the pres
ident did not speak. He received an
ovation from the old soldiers, how
ever, and many shook hands with him.
The exercises, held in the shadow of
the monument erected to the Confed-
crate dead by women of the Confeder-
acy, were opened with the sound OF
the assembly call by the marine band
and the singing of the Star Spangled
Banner" by a special choir, the old
soldiers and the audience helping to
swell the refrain.
Flowers were strewn on the graves
and special services were held at the
tomb of the unknown dead and the
grave of Gen. Joe Wheeler.
Gen. Bennett H. Young, past com
r-ander-in-chie of the veterans, and
Representative Frank Clark. of Flor
ida. were the orators.
