ITIIE IIOS BLEW;
THEM THE DELUGE
Asheville and Nearby Territo
ry Visited by Storm Which
Did Great Damage.
Asheville and Buncombe county last
night and thla morning experienced
perhaps the worst storm and the most
spectacular lightning display, aecom-
. panted by a downpour of rain, a rio
j lent windstorm and th damage is not
yet known. The rain began railing
come time after midnight and soon
there were vivid flashes of lightning.
crashes of thunder and then, more
rain. Today many people are telling
their experiences of the night; how
, children were frightened and women
hid their heads beneath the cover. It
was not a dangerous electrical display,
i however, from the point of safety.
jThe lightning Is what is described as
j "sheet" lightning continuous vivid
jriahtg. The deluge rather than the
j lightning did the greatest damage.
Corn was badly washed and broken
many gardens were flooded; lawns
i were washed and In Instances trees
j were blown down. On Starnes avenue
la tree was blown across an electric
j cable and tor a time the lights were
i off; electric power al was eliminated
j and the plant of the Asheville Electric
i company for a time crippled. Volumes
j of water pored Into storm sewers and
; over-flowed In low places on the street.
In fact, at one point on Starnes avenue
jthe water waa above the curb an,
over-flowing the sidewalk at 8 o'clock
this morning, several hours after the
storm had ceased.
Information from the outside dis
tricts is nuaere. but the news that
comes Is to the effect that the storm
was done crops, especially corn. In
Instances prise corn was blown down
or broken near the ground. In West
Asheville several small houses were
damaged; trees were blown down and
j was general, and that much damage
crops In Instances, almost ruined. In
, the north section of the county consid
erable damage is reported to growl n
crops.
Lightning Hit Rye Stark.
Lightning struck a stack of rye in
the yard of J. W. Hunter, a prom!
nent farmer of Alexander, last night.
But for the quick work of extinguish
ing the blaze Mr. Hunter would have
lost a considerable amount of grain
which was placed near by. The loss
amounted to about 25 to 30 bushels
of rye.

A CKOWN OF GLORY
As WeU aa a Mark of Beauty Is Lax
nrioos Hair. . .."
It has been truly said that the
crowning glory of our race is a lux
uriant head of hair.
It used to be thought that this was
one of the blessings which the gods
bestow capriciously, and it is only re
cently that scientists have discovered
that its beauty is dependent upon the
absence of a minute germ which
flourishes In the hair follicles, where
it destroys the life of the'hair.
To restore this life and kill the
germs which cause the mischief Is the
mission of Newbro's Herpicide.
Herpicide surely kills the germs.
and Is the best hair dressing on the
market
It contains no grease or oil, neither
will it stain or dye.
