L. MSBET. Seven dwelling houses, several barns and other buildings were demolished; one woman. Miss Ella Hancock, was seriously hurt, and four or five others injured; one mule and one calf was killed, and many acres of growing crops were totally destroyed in a de structive cyclone which swept Sandy Ridge township Sunday afternoon about two o'clock. The storm struck first about the state line on the rail road below Waxhaw and went in a northeasternly direction, through the Howie mine property and finally spent Its fury in the Wesley Chapel community, cutting a swath from fif ty to a hundred yards wide and about twelve miles long. While not so ex tensive a the tornado which ravaged Goose Creek township early In April this storm was as destructive In the territory covered and left a trail of ruin In Its wake. The first house hit was that of Zach Gladden, colored, about a tulle west or Waxhaw. This housa was totally destroyed. The chimneys of Mr. W. D. Rogers new house In the same community were blown down and his garaKe lifted from its lounda tlous and moved several reel. Two tenant houses belonging to Mr. J. D. Davis or Waxhaw were demolished. One or these was occupied by R. G. I'aMoii, 'who heard the storm ap proaching In time to gather his fami ly and carry them to a deep road ditch near the house, where they fell flat In the ditch until the storm had passed. At the other house Will Mass. -y, colored was at home with a small baby. The roof, end and sides of the house were blown away, but the floor on which Massey was sitting was un- harmed. At this place the barn was blown down on a mule which was rescued unhurt. About this point, which Is half a mil north of Waxhaw, the atormJ seemed to' divide and com together again a mile further a near the mine. One prong waa comparatively gentle, the other tearing further on near the woods and demolishing the home of Mr. B. P. Hancock. Every member of this family waa more or leas seriously hurt, on daughter, Miss Ella Hancock, being knocked unconscious by flying timben. She waa badly bruised about the body and had two severe cuts on her face. A six year old girl was also cut across th back of the head. The other suf fered minor cut and brtilses. This house was entirely ' ' destroyed, tim ben and piece. of furniture being mangled together with wagons, plow stocks and other implements. A two hone wagon waa .blown into the house. Th crib was blown off the corn, leaving a pile ot fin-corn ly ing In la open. Two hone were ia th barn, which waa scattered aver several acres or what bad been a cot ton patch, but neither of th bones waa hurt. Every building on this place, even to the pig pn waa torn down - - Between this place hnd the mine two prongs or the storm cam togeth er again,' and at th Junction point th greatest damage waa don to tlm- At the mine a negro cabin oc- br. cupied by tbe family of Tom Hall, col ored, was leveled to the ground. The old mill house at the mine, erected many years before the civil war by Commodore Stockton, which had been used for a long time as a barn, was blown down. The writer tried to learn whether this building waa act ually used during the war to grind gold for the Confederate government, but no one knew positively. It Is a historic fact that much of th gold of tbe Confederacy came from this mine, but It is probable that moat of it was milled by hone power down on the creek. In this building were five mules, on belonging vto Mr. t. P. Broom was so badly hurt that It bad to be killed, while one belonging to Mr. T. C. Irby was right badly Injur ed. The great oaks In the mine yard were uprooted and twisted, the light and power wires were tangled with the wreckage, roofs and chimneys or other buildings were blown off, and the housing about the mouth of the main shaft was badly damaged. From the mine the storm went on through the farms of Chal Thomas, Brack Fowler and 'Squire John Win chester,, doing considerable damage to outbuildings, fruit tree and grow ing crops. From beginning to end of the storm's path there waa not an expensive house nor any especially fine timber destroyed, the storm showing almost Intelligent selection of a route where least damage to property would result. The houses destroyed were all tenant houses, and title comfortable were not or costly construction. At some places the storm went right between fin timb ered districts, doing little damage ex cept to scraggly undergrowth. An estimate of the damage Is hard to arrive at. but It will run to several thousand dollan. A considerable item is' the destruction ot acres or,(aml crops.

MOKIUSo.X lu Point of Ability, He Ha no Peer In This State, Says In ion County's Representative. To the Editor of The Journal: Having been requested to give some of the reason why I am supporting Cameron Morrison for Governor, do so as follows: 1. In point of ability he ha no su perior in public life in this State. 2. In debate, he is the peer of any man 1 know. I. He as nearly possesses the real character of a statesman as any man wno has appeared in public life since th days of ance and Aycock. With wisdom to forsee; with courage to act, with Integrity to guide, and with th ability to construct and execute. he is the one man who should be nominated for Governor at this par tlcular time. 4. He is opposed to favoritism or any other kind of "isms." He is op- posed to class legislation or class exe cution of the law. He will know not lh rich nor the poor, the high nor th low, but in righteousness will he exscuie the laws. His creed is fun- dahiental the "mud-sill" or Democracy. 6. He is open and frank at all times as all public men should be. In him there Is no guile or deception. If you want to know where Cameron Morrison stands on any public ques tion all you will have to do is to en quire or him. I regret that there have been many false and wicked reports circulated against him. This, however, shows th weakness or his opponents, and I do not care to lend dignity to them by discussion. My Information Is that he Is gaining ground every day and will be nominated by an over whelming majority July the 3rd. . Respecttully, J. . - B., RJSDWINE. Zoar News. Mr. I. W.

'Opposition to th 18th amend ment-is not today a political Issue." H r. Vick's statement aald. "but th Volstead act ia open to amendment. as haa been pointed out by Governor Edwards and by such distinguished Republican authorities Senator Knot. 'Th Volstead act Is so extreme that 'it ha placed in the criminal Hum millions ot women who make from home-grown fruit light wines for domestic use, millions of farmers who make and mature cider from their orchards.

McADOO NOT TO BE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE LATEST HAPPENINGS Former HerreUirj- Says That His De cision I Irrevocable, m His Path of Duty is Plain. William G. McAdoo, who has been considered as one or the principal candidates ror the Democratic nomi nation ror president, has announced he could not permit his name to go before the San Franclso convention. "This decision." he said," is irrevoc able as the path or duty seems to me clear and unmistakable." His decision was made known in a telegram to Jouett Shouse, Democrat ic delegate at large from Kansas, who had telegraphed Mr. McAdoo that sentiment throughout the country- was rapidly crystalizlng in his favor that his friends would like to have him permit his name to be placed be fore the convention and that they were certain he could be nominated and elected. Mr. McAdoo's telegram follows: "Your tlegram oi June 17th re quires an explicit and Immediate an swer. I am profoundly grateful to you and my other generous Mends, who, with such spontaneity and un selfishness, have, without any sol I Il lation, advocated my nomination. To cause them disappointment distresses me deeply, but I am unable to recon- sldrth position I bar conalatently maiuTalued. namely, that I would not seek th nomination for the presi dency. I cannot, therefore, permit my name to go before the convention This decision Is irrevocable, aa the path of duty seems to me clear and unmistakable." "The considerations which compell ed me to resign aa secretary of the treasury and director general of the railroads after the armistice in 1918. in large measure still prevail. I must have a reasonable opportunity to re habilitate private affair and to make that provision for my family which. in tim of peace, ia at one the sacred duty and cherlsted deslr of every right-thinking mart. Having been out of office leas than 18 months, I hav not yet been able to accomplish these objects. Moreover, a president ial campaign Impose upon th candi dates unavoidable expense which I am unable to assum and which I do not want my friends to assume. "Th record of the recent Republi can Congress and the platform and candidate of the Republican national convention make Democratic victory In the next election almost certain. Victory will be certain if the Demo crat adopt a straightforward, un equivocal unevaatv. honest and lib eral platform and put forward candi date who command public confi dence. We must stand squarely for ratification of the league of nation without debilitating reaervatlons and we must be direct and explicit on th Important domestic issue. The times are not propitious for equivocation or for appeals to blind passion or to doctrines of hat, or for reactionaries and those who would shut their ears to the great and swelling votce of hu manity which cries aloud Tor the res toration or peace and good will at home and in tbe world, and ror the opportunity to live In an atmosphere of Justice, progress and prosperity. "I reel sure that my mends will appreciate the sincerity and propri ety or my position and that they will do everything In their power at San Francisco to assure the continuation or the enlightened principles, and lib eral policies or Democracy.
