Terrific Rain Storm
Possibly the most severe wind, rain
and hail storm that has ever visited
Louisburg and vicinity came on last
Friday evening at about 5:15 o'clock,
and lasted for about thirty minutes.
The storm entered the county from
the Northwest doing considerable
damage to crops and property in Its
wake. It seemed to follow the" river
vith jumps now and then until It
j.sssed Loulsburg when It changed its
< ? " sa to approximately east. In
l.i burg about sixty trees were up
iet. 1 or twisted In two, many chim
in : ere blown down, the top of the
hotti h taken of and put In the
front :::i of Mr. J. C. Tucker across
the street, the large plate glasses in
the post office were blown out and
many smaller glass about the town
were broken. Electric light wire? and
poles and telephone lines and poles
were broken and blown down and gar
dens and crops were damaged all to
taling an amount in money damage
that no one has ventured to make a
guess at. The damage to property
alone in Loulsburg has been estimated
as high as 120,000.00. >
L. W. Parrish had a chimney blown
down. A large elm tree in the yard
of J. R. Williams was blown down,
falling across the Ford runabout of
his son, H. C. Williams. Dr. A. H
Fleming had a chimney blown down
damaging the top of his house very
much. Chimneys were also blown
down at G. D. Taylor's residence and
that of A. W. Alston. The old Person
place belonging to A. W. Person
known as the "Miss Prude Person"
place was shorn of many of its beau
tiful trees.
The college and graded school
groves had many of their handsomest
? shade trees blown down. Many of the
streets were blocked with trees, limbs
and wires. On the Henderson road it
seems that the storm took its toll as
far as H. A. Matthews.
On Kenmore A\genue a tree fell
across the kitchen to Mr* W. M. Free
man's heme demolishing the top and
one also fell upon the home of Mr. R.
W. Hudson but lodged against another
tree saving a great damage. The
shelters to Cooper's gin and the Louls
burg Grocery Co. were blown down.
Tobacco, cotton and corn suffered a
terrible damage for three miles or
more up the river and along the Hali
fax road. In many instances every
leaf of the tobacco or cotton was
knocked off leaving nothing but a
stem and a few bolls which presented
an awesome sight. The corn was torn
into shreds and much of it blown
down.
The storm after leaving Loulsburg
seems to have taken an eastern course
and making long Jumps doing much
damage and has been traced as far
as Kocky Mount.
There wero two casualties in the
storm. Mr. R. R. Kissell, the popular
moving picture man, received atf ug
ly cut on the leg at the post office
from flying glass when the plate glass
windows blew in, and Ada Stegall re
ceived a cut on the shoulder from
glass when the light at a side window
of the Burt building gave way to the
power of the storm.
- Ths damAge to crops is great in
some places the crops of some of the
farmers are considered a total loss.
The hail stones in till storm ware
(he largest seen here since XIM and
* - ??? ?*wl In
V/CItJ cao .
many places completely
ground. Tbi path of ths storm was
about two mllea wide.
At about the same time of ths same
day storms of a like character were
reported from Henderson and from
Pilot, but the extent of the damage
was not given.
This makes about Ave hall storms
for Franklin County this year and the
damage to crops u considerabls in
each section that has been visited.
Loulsburg spent the night Friday
night in darkness and ths telephone
eervlce was practically out of com
mission.
inning ths time of ths wind and
ball a driving rain was falling, which
greatly increased the damage to props
erty in town whsrs ths tops of build
ings were damaged.

dent they will all measure up to our
expectations. Several of them are
people who have not been with us be
fote and we are counting on the Leuis
lurg people to give them a cordial
welcome to our school and the town.
J We also ask the very finest coopera
tion It is possible to offer them from
the first day till the last day of school.
The education of your child is your
business; these teachers come to aid
you in the most responsible duty giv
en to you as a parent.
School will open on Monday, Sep
tember-7th, and It is very necessary
for all children to be in school on the
opening day. We begin work the first
hour of school; no time will be lost
getting ready to start classes.
Books will be on sale at the school
all of the week before the opening,
Get your book list; look over the
books your children have; buy such
us you can from other children who
have them for sale; when new books
needed, get them at once; give your
children an even start with, your
neighbor's children.
Pupils who failed of promotion last
year will not be allowed tc promote
themselvee. It will be necessary for
them to take an examination or oth
erwise satisfy us that they are ready
for promotion. A step too high is a
bud stumbling block and we can not
afford to fill oar grades with children
?who can not do the work.
Come to the school any time In the
week before the opening and tell me
your troubles; maybe I can help you
to solve some of your problem*.
Yours tor the best school ever In

TOBACCO CO OPS
MAKE FAST START
A Co-op Year In South Caro
lina
Deliver 3 Million Pound* To
? Ion Warehouse* Within 2 Week*.
,(S. D. FVlssell)
The Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association is breaking all past re
cords for early teceipts of the South
Ci rolina tobacco crop. Deiireries to
the cooperative floors have recently
come close to the half iplllion pound
mark daily and have already passed a
total of three million pounds Within
less than two weeks since the opening
of the association's warehouses.
The clamor of the outsider to come
into the cooperative fold has contin
ued to increase and there appears to
te little doubt that if the association
should open its books at this time its
membership could be enlarged by sev
eral thousand tobacco farmers. On
the other hand a special opportunity
was given to all South Carolina to
bacco farmers to Join the association
last month during a campaign for new
members and the old mefnbers have
expressed their wishes to keep the
Looks closed from now on for the
present season. The directors have
completely respected the wishes of the
i.iembershlp which were set forth in
recent meetings. Ihe result has beets
that South Carolina growers who fail
ed to sign the marketing contract tor
tnls year's crop when the opportuni
ty was open last month, have already
begun to sign up for the season of
1*26.
The 65 per cent cash advance being
paid on the association floors contin
ues to delight the members and to at
tract outsiders because it compares
very favorably with the prices upon
the auction floors and gives the tobac
co co-ops assurance that they will re
ceive more money from orderly sales
of their tobacco at a season when
they are moet in need of cash.
Enthusiasm and loyalty for the as
sociation is strong in the old belt of
North Carolina according to the re
sults of two large mase meetings of
g owers In Oxford and Roxboro last
week where the members present
pledged full delivery of this season's
crop to the marketing association.
In Virginia, delegates from all the
counties of the dark fired district met
last week in Farmville and expressed
themselves as ready to maki plans for
another five-year sign up of the dark
tobacco crop In their state.
The South Carolina co-ops art mak
ing a good start towards their objec
tive of 38 million pounds deliveries to
the association this season, and if
present receipts and enthusiasm tor
the association are any indication,
they will pass their goal before the
present season closes.
