GROWING CROPS
DESTROYED BY HAIL
HARVIN FARMERS ARE REPORT
ED FINANCIALLY RUINED.
Tobacco is a Total Loss
Cotton 80 Per Cent. Destroyed; Corn
60 Per Cent; Truck
90 Per Cent.

Harvin, June S.-The most de-
structive hail and rain storm that has
ever visited this section of the State
came this afternoon about o'clock
from the west. For 80 minutes rain
and hail fell in torrents, doing great
damage to all crops. 1t extended
from Boots branch in Sumter county
near Brogdon, Station to Black river
near Manning, in length about IL
miles and in breadth about five miles.
The most conservative estimates
place the damage to cotton at 80 per
cent. total loss, corn about go per
cent. total loss, tobacco 100 per cent.
total loss, and all other growing crops
and fruit, truck and gardens about 80
per cent. total loss. Visitors to this
section of the State from Western
Carolina stated two weeks ago that
in a 19O-mile trip from the western
section of the State to Manning, S.
c., these were best crops they had
seen in their entire route. Damage
in and around Alcolu and Harvin was
particularly great. This is an ex-
tensive tobacco growing section and
that crop is a total loss. Half-grown
chickens were beaten to death in
droves where they had gathered in
fence corners and other places of ref
uge. Fruit trees in many places were
delimbed in entirety. Many farmers
are financially ruined.
| At Trinity and on toward Manning
the hail and rain was lighter. This
correspondent was Informed late this
afternoon that no hail fell in Man.

river.

CASE OF LOST MEMORY.
Woman Arrives in Union Unable to
Say Who She Is.

Union. June "a pathetic case of
lost memory so that even identity is
not known is that of a woman. about
3s years old, tall and slender, OF
rather a dark complexion, short, cur
". black hair, traces of former beau
tv. who was here a few days ago. on
account of her mental condition she
was taken to the State hospital IN
Columbia, for treatment.
The woman, who was rather we'll
dressed, arrived here on Friday, May
90. and after being unable to secure
lodging for any length of time at any
boarding house, as she only had 70
cents on her person, her case was
taken in charge by Envoy D. T. Nc
Abee, of the Salvation army, and
Miss Mamie Oetzel, of the home SER
vice department of the Red Cross.
After an examination by two doctors,
her mental condition was found to be
such that it was deemed advisable to
send her. where she would be given
every care and attention.
From her rambling, disconnected
talk, it seems that the woman may
at some time have lived near Knox
vile. Tenn, and that her husband
may have been called John Sanders
and had gone overseas with the
American troops. but as to this the
woman appears to be in doubt. She
saws that last year she had typhoid
fever and had to use crutches for
four months. In the midst of conver-
sation memory takes flight, and she
can recall nothing of what she had
even previously said. The one sub
iect she speaks Of voluntarily is re-
ligion.
She was we'll dressed in dark
coatsuit with fur trimmings, and car
ried two suitcases, but the contents
did not disclose anything relative to
her identity.
Some of the Union men who served
in Company E, 11Sth infantry, and
who were trained at Camp Sewer at
Greenville, declare that they had seen
this woman, or some one very much
like her, in that city, and that she
then lived at Carolina Mills, now
called Poinsett Mills, and that she
had a husband, whose name is not
thought to have been John Sanders, a
daughter about IS years old, and a
! young son.
Envoy D. T. McAbee, of the Saliva
tion army, who had much to do with
helping the woman while here, has
given out this information in hopes
that if any of her family or relatives
wish to know anything about he1
they can communicate with him.

Pistol May Lend Clue.

Anderson, June IA letter from
the chief of police of Washington to
the chief of this city states that the
revolver found after the explosion at
the home Of Attorney General Palmer
was consigned from the Simmonds
Hardware company Of Philadelphia
to the Tate Hardware company of
this city. Members of the Tate Hard
ware company say that they have no
idea who bought the revolver. If this
clue can be followed it may give val
liable information.

Senate Passes Woman Suffrage
Amendment BY Vote of So to 25

will be certified to the States by the
State department.
The absentees. Senator Owen and
Robinson, favored the resolution, and
Senator Smith, of Georgia, was an
opponent. Including paired and alb
sent senator's, the actual senate line
up was 40 Republicans and 26 Demo-
Gratis for the resolution and nine Re-
publicans and 21 Democrats in oppo-
sition.
The amendment as it will be add
ed to the constitution if ratified by
the States, reads:
"Article -, section 1: The
right of citizens of the United States
to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by
any State on account OF sex.
"Section 2: Congress shall have
power, by appropriate legislation to
enforce the provisions of this ar
ticle.'
All efforts to amend the resolution
in the senate failed. By vote of 50
to 2S the senate rejected the amend
ment of Senator Underwood, Demo
crat. of Alabama, proposing submis-
sion of the proposed article to popu'
,ar State conventions instead of State
! legislatures. An amendment by Sen
atcr Gay, Democrat, of Louisiana
proposing enforcement by the States
! instead Of the federal government
was voted down 62 to 19. The Sci
ate also rejected, without roll cal!
revision of Senator Underwood's
amendment, proposed by Senator
Phelan, Democrat, of California, tc
fix methods of calling popular ratifi
cation conventions.
Although few State legislatures
now are in session, woman suffrage
champions last night claimed thai
ratification soon would be secured
probably by next spring.

TASKS TO FACE.
Illiteracy Should Be Impossible in
Few Years.

Columbia, June S-Governor Coop
er has directed letters to all the at
tendance officers under the compul-
sorry school attendance act, remind
ing these officials of the Importance
of the tasks they are called upon to
execute.
South Carolina is pledged to pro-
tect and train her future citizenship
the governor says. The active cam
paign for the reduction of adult il
literacy already under way ought to
help many unlettered men and wom-
en-. An illiterate child ought to be
an impossibility in the years just
ahead,' the governors letter con-
cludes. The letter follows:
Under the school attendance act
of 1919, the county board of educa-
tion of your county has appointed you
attendance officer for the schools un-
der it's Jurisdiction. This appoint
ment takes effect June 1, 1919. Your
| duties and your salary begin from
that date.
THE fundamental importance of
this work, together with my deep and
abiding interest in the schools, is my
reason for writing you as you enter
upon your task. You shall have my
personal and official support in your
efforts to bring every child into
school, and to keep every pupil in
regular attendance.
"The enactment of this Statewide
compulsory attendance law marks an
epoch in our educational progress
This policy makes new demands on
every citizen and every taxpayer. II
also imposes new duties on school Of
ficials, trustees, and teachers. But
while the problem must be worked
out through the cooperation of all
it's solution depends primarily upor

"Your duties are clearly and explic'
lily stated in the law. During the
month of June the State board Of
education expects you to study schoo
district lines and boundaries, schoo
enrolment for 191S-19, the location
of schoolhouses and the organiza
ton of school communities. Diligen'
preparation should be made for the
required census of all children be-
tween the ages of and IA years
which must be taken by school dis
tricts during the calendar months Of
July and August. Cards for this cen
sus will be furnished before the enc
of June.
Traditional regulations have mo-
house visitation throughout your ter
ritory. The cooperation of interested
citizens, and especially of school trus
tees, must be secured, if the census
is to be reliable and usable.
"The work will require a house-to
