DESTRUCTIVE STORM
Heavy Fall Of Hail Reported
Damage In Millions
Light Here

In several places over the
country the storm which broke
in the northwest Saturday and
reached this section Sunday was
among the most destructive of
the season. At Glasgow the hail
was reported four inches deep
all over the ground and much
damage to buildings was wrought
by it. In Georgia and Kansas
very heavy hail and rain and all
over the country streams are
swollen to capacity if not over
flowed. The Mississippi river
threatens to break thru levees
and the Charlton river is more
than full and rising.

NEGRO MORPH|A THIEF
Pockets Bottles and Hikes.
Swiped at Salisbury
In Jail.

Sam Allen, negro addict, ha-
bitual loafer as well, roamer and
quick returner to his home, eye
sore and nuisance, was in Sails
bury Wednesday in quest of his
favorite beverage and lady luck
attended him to the pGnt of Sc
curing dope and making his get
away but deserted him when he
got lazy and didn't keep moving.
He went to Don Brummall drug
store in Salisbury and Mrs.
Brummall let him get back
of the prescription case while
she waited on him for something
he came in to purchase. She
was called to the front for a
moment and when she returned
Sim was missing, also about S45
worth of dope. Don and officers
went on the trail of the purloin-
er but not until late at night
and in an outbuilding at the Wa
bash station was the vagabond
located. Don and others set
watch over the home premises of
the miscreant in the west side of
town where he camps with his
parents, and Chief Gordon inter-
viewed all incoming cars and
listened to all sleuths who had
lunches.
Sam is charged with obtaining
goods, wares and merchandise,
unlawfully which if proven, will
rid the community of a worth
less coon and the pity is that
several more of the same brand
here cannot be implicated. They
are ripe for the bastile or pre-
ferably, a fusillade.

Overall Stunt

Another form of opposition to
the high cost of living was intro
duced in the South a few weeks
ago by organization of Overall
Clubs" and the experiment has
spread, striking this city Mon
day. As in nearly every success
full economic venture, the idea
originated with women and they
were among the first, three years
ago, in a limited way, to don the
denim and khaki, but last year
there were numbers who appear
ed in such materials and we
must say that some of the Co.'S
tunes were really handsome.
Men have gone in for overalls
in hundreds of places in this
country already and the prospect
is fair for large amount of ex-
horbitantly priced clothing to
remain in the shops. Some
time ago it was reported errone-
ousIy that in a SIS suit of clothes
there was only $3.50 worth of
wool, but the National woolgrow-
ers association is out with a cor
rection, showing that there is
not more than S5.27 worth of
wool, at the highest price paid
wool growers, in a SIS suit.
The Amalgamated Clothing Max
ers Union is out with the state
ment that it costs but Sl2 to Sl4
to make such a suit and the re-
mainder the purchaser paid for
such garments, went somewhere
so far not disclosed but easily
guessed. 1t is claimed that there
would be good profit at S25 for
such a suit of clothes, and that
six wool and worsted manufac-
turers in this country made a net
profit of twenty million dollars
last year is a help at guessing.
Some jobbers are alleged to
have made as high as 600 per
cent after paying all federal
taxes and one department store
cleared 757 per cent after pay
ment of taxes. But, how high
will khaki, denim and other over
all suits mount, in price, not
length, if everybody dresses up
in such? Already it is reported
that in the south where the fad
(?) started, pants have advanc-
ed from So. 80 to $500. Sure, a
congressional committee will be
appointed to head this gourge off
and be ready to report after the
robbers have made all to be
made out of the steal and quit.

The programl at: the court
house Monday nightEwas good
and if the weather had been good
the court room wouldIhave been
crowded. The japanese fan
drill by Miss Myrtle MilIers class
deserves much credit.
Next Thursdayiand Friday are
clean up days and it is important
that all rubbish be put in bar.
rels, boxes or crates and set in
streets or aIleysssonj those dates
so that the street commissioner
can have them removed.
Attention is called to the
practice of throwing leaves,
grass and rubbish in the drain
bitches along streets and alleys.
A fine of $50 can be imposed for
this offense and the city authori-
ties are going to put a step to it.
Better burn dead grass and such
stuff and not rake it out in the
cutters where.it will stop drain
age and spill streets.
