Storm Raises Havoc Among the Rice
 Farmers

The rain storm Tuesday night was blessing to many farmers but to some it was disastrious. A heavy wind accompanied the rain and in some places it reach led the velocity of a hurricane.
 On the o. E. Hicks rice farm about [ mile from here, the wind demolished two electric pump. ing stations putting them com
 pletely out of commission. It also destroyed Mir. Hicks grain cry and damaged the roof of his re i'd ence. Tightening also struck several telegraph poles along the road a short distance from his home. and the road for several hundred yards was strewn with their fragments.
 The storm passed from here to the A. H. Ford farm, where it did more or less damage to the buildings and several small build ings in the neighborhood were blown down and several pump ing stations put out of commis sion. More rain fell in that sec tion than in Carlisle and the heavy wind seemed :o confine it
 self to a strip over a mile wide and about seven miles out. Some of the stronger buildings were shaken up and lost a loose board or shingle. but where it struck the weaker ones they were laid
 fiat and partly blown away.

HOME RULE BILL
is IN PARLIAMENT

Continued from Page -
Ireland has been justly treated.
Moreover, Ireland is not the only
country to be considered.
"As to America, the opinion
reaching the government is that SEN
timent in America supports the bill,
provided self-goyernment is offered
Ireland. 1t is vital to us at the mo-
ment that America is coming to our
aid through the most remarkable
decision ever taken by any execu-
tive. President Wilson's decision
was not without difficulty, but 1t was
the only way America could render
practical assistance in this battle.
"In these circumstances, America
is entitled to expect from the Brit
ish goyernment-though they could
not ask any government to carry out
domestic legislation-that they
would smooth these difficulties; at
any rate not increase them. | am
certain nothing would help more at
the present juncture to secure the
full measure of American assistance
than the determination OF the Brit
iSh parliament to tender to Ireland
her own parliament.
Irish Members Hoot.
The premier's use of the terms
offer and tender evoked irritated
cries from the Irish bench. The
premier continued:
THE honorable members are seek
ing quarrels where none is in
tended"
Premier Lloyd George said he was
afraid it was impossible to argue
with those who refused to believe il
matter for congratulation that
though an army Of five millions
RUSSIA had retired from the ad
vance, the two or three national!
that remained had been able to pu
up such a fight until the grea
American republic came in.
Replying to Sir Edward Carson
criticisms, the premier said that j
it had been merely a matter of
year or two, possibly no grave con
sequences would have arisen 70
Ireland, but what had happened hat
shown that if the war was prolonge,
a continuation OF the state of sus
pense was a matter of vital interest
