Friday's Rain and Hail Storm.
The storm which visited this section
last Friday was one of the most severe
seen in years, doing considerable dam-age
in some localities. The rain fell in
torrents for a short while and was ac-companied
by deep thunder and vivid

the clouds were so heavy as to make it
very dark for a few minutes. Before
the rain ceased a considerable amount
of hail fell.
In Greensboro a large number of tele-phones
were burned out by the light-ning
and several people received elec-trical

Allemance, was at Watson's mill when
the storm came up, engaged in conver-sation
with the miller. Mr. Rankin,

manufacturers busy about all the time
handling their purchases.
The quality of the offerings has been

Prices on all grades remain un-changed
to a shade better, with a very
active market and the buyers eager for
the weed. Farmers who were on our

THE RESULT.
If all the firms that have been al- I
ready announced as going to move or '
branch out in the several South Caro-
Una markets do so, there will be much
less tobacco finding its way as shipped '
tobacco from South Carolina to East-era

will be that much stronger, and the
