THAT FEAURJL STORM.
Sixty-Four Killed mid -60 Injured
Force Was Heslstless-The Sleepers
'6ter . Waked -The Cumberland's
" Rise.
. The storm' that - passed over
parts of Southwest was re
ported so -m eagerly by the great
dailies Wednesday as to attract
little attention. Even on Wednes
day evening the magnitude of
the disaster seems not to have
beer fully comprehended. The
. dead arc" numbered up to 64 and
the injured to 50 and the details
being probably incomplete the
list is likely to be enlarged. The
storm occurred Tuesday night
coming up from Mississippi and
' sweeping in a northeast direction
in Tennossee. The path is about
50 yards wide and lasted only
about 20 seconds'.
It struck Columbia, where it
-
war, most sovere; Lagrange, No
lensville and Gallatin,' arid lost
.-j-its fofce against the Cumberland
Mountains. At Columbia it left
... ,. . ..... . ....
L'5 dead and 50 injured.' Four
fine and 1'50 cheaper-houses were
demolished. , ' v ' ' ' . .
It was so severe as.not tp leave
stone and iron fences in its path.
Houses furnished little resist-
ence and the wonder is not that
so many were killed-but that so
many survived.
: At NolensvUlb 16 houses were
destroy c.d an d I two ladies were
killed. ...A Mr. Hampton had
$4'00 in'hfs hotise, most of which
was lost; .
A tuluic baby was found safe
and-soui.ru -T0 yards-away with a

' .;lle and Jiis child' were- 'as)eep in
: 'bed 'while jMrs. Robertson was.
up sewing 'by lamp. She had no
time to ev',"iw;ike the sleepers,
who probably never waked but
wuro. instantly killed. She es
caped. i
The rainfall was so heavy that
the Cumberland river rose 20
feet. .

The mooting of the Southern

sociatidn, which was, formed in j neighborhood, was seriously in
Macon, las May, held its first jUred at Mr. Raney's cotton gin,
convention there, on the 20th.
Mr. Harvie Jordan, agricultural
editor of the Atlanta Journal,
was re-elected president and Mr.
John P Allison, of our Unvn, was
chosen secretary. (This does not
appear in first report as Mr. Al-t
Jison at first declined tno honor
but later consented when it was
shown that it was desired as an
honor to the State as well as to
himself, he being the Secretary
of the North Carolina Cotton
Growers Association.)
There were a . v.v " r of strong
speeches, chief of which4 'was
that by Hon. Hoke Smith.
The line of proceedure contemplated,-
as vvt catCti ll, is
to havo boreaus of infor-
matipn , by which every read-
.
er of the news of the day
may know the amount of acreage
planted, the amount of "the crop
when- gathered, the supply on
hand and tlio probable demand,
so that there wuTbe'a fair index
to the price. Beside the asso
ciation hopes to avoid the rush
of cotton into the markets when
not in demand, so that a uniform
price may be had throughout
the year.
The different States

sented will hold their conven
tions and elect thro.'- o-.l...at-Oo
