'May term of Halifax Superior court
o ened Monday with Judge Norwood
presiding. Judge Norwood came up
tin the train from Washington, and the
train was so late," caused by some trou
ble on the Plymouth road, there was
no court until the afternoon. Judge
Norwood made a fairly good impression
on the people and seemed inclined to
favor witnesses, suitors and attorneys
alike.
This court is only for civil causes.
While there had been no special calen
dar arranged there was quite a number
of cases on the docket, and the court
will about consume the entire week.
A Saucy or Hungry Tf ox.
A Hobgood correspondent writes
that a lew nights ago, Lucy Smith, a
colored woman who cooks for Mrs. R.
J. Shields, went out to look after her
little chickens. She found a fox after
them. The fox chased a hen from the
chicken-house, and ran under the wo
maa's house. The hen ran out of the
gate and the fox seeing where the hen
went put in for another chase.
Ti.e woman's husband fired on the
t.-x. but missed him. The fox kept up
the chasa after the hen and -Lucy was
chasing the fox. f
Just as the fox caught the hen Lucy
caught the fox. Her husband went
to Ler assistance, and finding that the
fox would not let go the hen they took
both fox and hen into the house and
killed the iox with a hammer.
The hen was so badly frightened
when she was liberated she ran into the
fire and was so badly burned that she
lost her life at last. "

Mayor Perry spoke to Reuben Staten

Some words passed and later Beuben

which Beuben struck with a cart pen

badly. Some by-standers interfered
and the matter was stopped.

Death of Mr. J. R. Weeks.
Mr. J. R. Weeks died at his home in
Spring Hill last Monday afternoon
about 4 o'clock, aged 51 years.
For more than a year Mr. Weeks
had been suffering from heart disease.
He died just after the terrible storm,
and doubtless the terrors of the storm
so unnerved him that it brought on
the hemorrhage from which he died.
He was as calm through the storm as
any one else, but the strain was too
great for his enfeebled system.
Deceased was a most estimable gentle
man. He was pooular and had many
friends. For a dozen years or more he
had been a consistent member of the
Baptist church.
Some years ago he married Miss Bet
tie Tillery ,"a most estimable lady, who
survives him.
The remains were interred in the
Methodist church-yard in Halifax
Tuesday, Rev. R. T. Vann, assisted by
Rev. R. H. Herring, conducting the
services.
Mr. Weens was highly isteemed
throughout the county and his friends,
who are legion, will be shocked and
saddened to hear of his sudden
death. The county has lost one of its
best citizens and bis community a
most valued friend and neighbor. The
Commonwealth joins in sympathy
with the stricken family in this dark
hour of grief and sadness.
Vine Hill Male Academy.
The final exercises of Vine Hill Male
Academy occurred . Tuesday night.
They consisted of declamations and a
debate. A gcod audience filled the
assembly hall of the academy, and at
8 :45 Mr. Herbert Britton, as president,
called the meeting to order and wel
comed the audience. Mr. Tyler Wheel
er was secretary.
First came the declamations :
"Albert Sydney Johnson", by Charlie
Lawrence.
. J'An Appeal to Arms," by Irvin God
ard. -
"We Must Stand or Fall with North
Carolina," by Joe Cotten.
"The Stars and Stripes," by Thur
man Kitchin.
"Against the American War," by
Harvey Vann.
"The Deck Hand and the Mule," by
Paul Bryan.
Then followed the debate. The
question : "Resolved, That the United
States will perish as other great nations
and republics have done."
The affirmative was discussed by
Roy Vangnan, Raymond JDunn and
Sam Dunn, of the Colomathean So
ciety ; the negative, by Albion Dunn,
Oscar Everett and David Stern, of the
Alamedan Society.
The debate was spirited and the de
baters showed that they had thought
much about their question. They had
prepared their own speeches, and they
did credit to themselves and the school.
The decision of the question was left
to a committee of three Rev. R.
T. Vann. Mess. W. E. Whitmore and
E. E. Hilhard. The committee rend
ered a majority and a minority report,
two voting in favor of the affirmative
and one for the negative. It was, there
fore, announced that the decision was
rendered in favor of the affirmative,
but the committee had agreed that
they would never let it be known how
their vote stood.
Altogether it was an interesting ex
ercise and Mess. Prince and Wilson,
principals of the school, have cause to
feel proud of the efforts of , their stu
dents. One seldom sees school boys
so well read and generally posted on
history and passing events.
It shows the wisdom oi the principals
in establishing a library for the school
Few persons except those who have
tried it or have been very close to
teach ers, have any true conception of
the work done by the teachers of - the
land ;Jand they .are entitled to hearty
thanks for their labor and faithful ser
vice intheir efforts to train the young.

Death and Destruction in its Wake.
WORST EVER SEEN IN THE COUNTY.
Monday afternoon about 3 :30 o'clock
a most terrific and destructive bail-and
wind-storm passed across the county.
It struck near Halifax and came down
the river, sweeping eyery thing to
within two or three miles of Scotland
Neck. It lollowed the river, crossing
near Kelford, doing great damage.
At Halifax the hail-stones were as
h rge as partridge eggs. A few miles
from Halifax the storm became terrific.
Hours after the storm stones were
found in drifts as large as walnuts and
hen eggs ; and it was said that they fell
nearly as large as goose eggs, and fully
as large as apples. ' .
At Tillery, the storm was so severe
it unroofed Hale Brothers' store and
exposed their goods, and unroofed the
old warehouse of the railroad company
and crashed windows and did damage
to buildings generally.
CROrS ENTIRELY DESTROYED.
From the car windows the farms
looked a. clean as if they had been
freshly plowed. Corn, cotton, potatoes
and every growing crop were entirely
destroyed. The leaves were beaten
from the trees and the very needles
were beaten from . pine trees. The
trunks of trees and the limbs looked
like the bark had been beaten from
them with hammers. Light roofs were
lifted from houses, and even'strong and
heavy roofs had the appearance of be
ing" hacked with a hatchet.
DIES FROM THE STORM'S EFFECT.
At Spring Hill the storm was especi
ally severe. Mr. J. R. Weeks, who has
been troubled with heart disease, bore
up through the storm as well as any
others, but after the storm had passed
and the hail had ceased he was taken
with a hemorrhage, and died in a short
while.
The storm kept down the river, and
on the Grafflin farm chickens and
geese were Killed in large numbers. A
gin house was blown down on Mr. W.
H. Josey's farm and killed two mules
or horses. Mr. B. I. Allsbrook also
lost a mule.
COLORED Ji-VN KILLED.
A colored man named '--
had his house blown down on him and
was killed.
Mr. Frank M. Johnson was out in
the fields and the storm hurled him
mercilessly for some distance and his
face and head were -cut severely by the
hail stone3.
At Tillery - the son of
Mr. W. H. Carter, was caught in the
storm, his horse ran away with him
and after the storm was over he was
found badly mangled. There were
fears that he would die.
It was the most severe storm ever
known in this section, and it wrought
great destruction, devastating every
thing in its track. At this writing it
is impossible to estimate the loss.
STORM AT CROWELLS.
(Correspondence to The Commonwealth.)
Crowells, N. C, May 31, 1898.
Our section was visited by the most
destructive hail-storm yesterday, the
proverbial oldest Inhabitant ever saw,
some stones were as large as goose eggs
and roofs of houses were beaten to a
honey-comb and the inmates had to
seek shelter elsewhere. For two miles
north of this place you cannot see the
road, being covered a foot deep with
leaves and boughs from the trees, while
the forest is as bare as in mid-winter.
Crops are almost ruined, fruit knocked
from the trees, &c. So far have heard
ot no loss of life. F. W. Gregory.
Children like it, it saves their lives.
