"0 The Worst Wind and Hail Storm Erer Witnessed in and Near Norwood Norwood, June 12 The worst wind and hail storm ever wit nessed by our people visited this sectipn Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The little town of Nor wood was in the centre of the worst and the damage was consid erable. Hail fell as large as a man's fist. Six hundred and fifty window lights were broken from the cotton mill windows. All work was stopped, and the wind, hait, glass, lint and screaming operatives made the scene terrible to witness. Gardens and all vegetation, in cluding corn and cotton for a dis tance of perhaps one-half or three quarters of a mile wide and sever al miles long being completely demolished. Wheat, and oats ripe and ready for harvesting, lie fiat on the ground. Horses and cattle that were out, were badly bruised and many chickens were killed.

June 11th. v An effort should be made by the people of Concord to rid the city of the mosquito, and this effort should be entitled to the consid eration and aid- of all citizens. Indeed, there can be only meas urable success without general co operation. If house-holders per mit rain barrels and pools of standing water and open cess pools in their lots, then mosqui tos cannot be exterminated, and a whole neighborhood will suffer from the neglect or indifference of one person. It has been shown that mosquitos -do not travel far, and if people will clean up their premises and keep them clean, the breeding places aroui.d the houses will be made unproductive. A trifling amount of work in keep ing gutters free from pools, of emptying water from vessels ,iu the yard and the use each week of a few cents' worth of oil are all that is required. A man giving his name as W. E. West, of Spencer, came tc Con cord last Friday and hired a horse and buggy from Brown Bros., liverymen, saying he wanted to go three or four miles in the coun try. As he did not return by night the Messrs. Brown became anxious about the safety of their animal and began making in quiries about its whereabouts, and Saturday morning M. L. Brown telephoned some parties in Char lotte Asking them to look for the outfit. He was called up later by Shakespeare Harris, who told him that his horse and buggy was in Charlotte, that the buggy had been sold, but the horse was at thastable. Mr. Brown asked Mr. Harris to take charge of them for him, which he did.

The negro murderer, told of in Thomasyille correspondence, was brought to jail here Sunday. He has two balls in him, one in the hip and one in the knee, which he claims the dead negro put in him. The talk is that he put them there.-ifmself. A physician was called in to examine him, but de cided on no operation. He is a bad negro, they say, and we hear that the negroes in Thomasville talked a good deal about lynch ing him. Clay Thomas, another negro was with him, it is said, and he is out on a $100 bond. Carl Maynard, a young white fellow, sou of Jake Maynard, of High Point, and- a brakeman on the Southern, was arrested last week late one night on complaint of Mollie Everhardt, of this place, who charged attempted assault. The scene of the allecrad rim was right in towrij close to where the calrnival1 was running. The young fellow was placed in jail and given a hearing next morn ing. He had no lawyer, intro duced no witnesses and left t.h testimony of the woman uncon tradicted. In view of this, the mayor held him without - bail. Later, however, he allowed him to give bond in the sum of $1,000, which he gave Sunday, and was then released. B. F. Everhardt, of the Arnold neighborhood, brought in a curi osity last week in the shape of a calf whose hair was wool, not all wool and Dot a yard wide, but partly wool, regu'iar 6heep wool, too, and many witnesses can testi fy to it. The calf 'is of Jersey ex traction and is three months old, and a very likely lookiug critter of the male persuasion. It is white and brown spotted, and wl erever there is brown, there is the wool. The white is hair, but much fiuer and pilkier than ordi nary calves wear in this part of the country. The carnival people offered the owner $15 for the un usual calf but Mr. Everhardt asked $100. He does pot account for the strange dress of the animal and nobody else does. No Trace of Missing Boy. New Orleans, La., June 13.

Search has bean made, but with out success," The Navy Department tonight received a dispatch from Rear Ad miral Evans, in command of the' United States fleet in Hampton Roads, which says: "A ditty-box belonging to fire man of the Minnesota's missing launch has been picked up afloat near berth 27, and I am forced to conclude that' launch with all on board is lost.

The first news of the calamity reached the department through the As sociated Press dispatches from Norfolk. Acting Secretary New berry and Admiral Brownson, chief of the navigation bureau, and "the seasoned naval qfficers who make -up .the staffs .hoped there had been a mistake because no word had been received from Admiral Evans. A wireless mes sage was dispatched from the sta tion at the Washington Navy Yard directed to the fleet lying in the Roads, inquiring into the ascuracy of the report. Within half an hour the answer given above came from Admiral Evans, and it dissipated the last hope that had been cherished. The following are the names of the Midshipmen drowned : Henry C. Murfin, Jr., was a na tive of Ohio, and a member of the second class at the Naval .Acade my. Like the others lie had been sent aboard the battle-ship Min nesota for a summer course of iu struction, to afford the practical education necessary to supple ment the theoretical work at the Naval Academy.- Philip H. Field was a midship man from Colorado, who belong ed to the first class of the Acade my. Walter C, Ulrich, of the sec ond class, was from Wisconsin. . W. H.

Bankhead to Succeed Hint. Montgomery, Ala.,' June 12. The State ceased business today to mourn the death of Senator Morgan, who died in Washington last night. The flag on the capi tol is atj half-mast and the Gov ernor has issued a proclamation reciting the Senator's virtues, his service to the State and long pub lic career. The death of the Sena tor was reported to the Governor by Senator Pettus, his colleague. By primary, last summer ex Congresmaii J. H. Bankhead was uomiuated for any vacancy that might occur by death or incapaci ty of either of the Senat org. This endorsement is for appoint ment to an unexpired term and does not apply to an election, as the platform of the primary re ferred to stipulated such appoint ment would be only to the next regu'ar or adjourned term of the legislature, Many prominent men are men tioned for election by the legis lature whicfi assembles v in Jul v. It has been suggested that the name of Governor Comer might be presented. There is, however, a constitutional provision prohib iting the election of any man while Governor, or for a year af ter he retires from the'Governor ship.
