C., July 23.—Covering a radius of from eight to ten miles, damaging at least 760 arret of tobacco and corn with an aproximate loss ol between a quarter of a million and three hundred thousand dollars, a hail and rain storm visited Greenville ant the nearby country yesterday after noon. Most of the damage wa> wrought west of Greenville towari. Winterful and Farmville. While the hail was not as large in Greenville as in sections where the' crops were damaged, it was the sise of marbles and came down for a period of fifteeji or twenty minutes. In some places the tobacco was prac tically stripped from the stalk. On th farm of Mr. Gus Forbes, one of the proprietorn of the Forbes and Morto Tobacco warehouse, his crop of seven ty acres in tobacco is thought to be damaged as much as $15,000. The wind came from a northwest direction at first and shifted several times before the storm abated. f| The hail hit about in spots. Some farms were struck while others were skipped over. Where the hail did strike, the tobacco was riddled. Several tobacco barns, pack houses and other buildings were rased while a number of roofs in some sections were blown off. No one was killed oi injured so far as could be ascertain *d- _ Of the 750 acres visited by tne storm it is estimated that at least 250 acres of tobacco, cotton and eori is a total loss. When the storm was at its heig' the dome on the dormitory of the Teachers' College was struck by light ning and considerably damaged.

WBMXWK TO ENTERPRISE NARCOTIC DRUGS DEMORULIZING THE COUNTRY, SAID Conditions Reported To Be Growing Worse In All Sections HOME EDUCATION Declared To Be Only Sure Cure for This Condition In Washington, D. C. theie was rcently held the National Anti-Nar cotic Conference, and the Ethai V. Wilcox writes it up for the Watchman Magaxine, of Nashville, Tenn. I nder uie caption, "mustering Eorces l« right me Urug friend," ins report ap pears in the August number. Tne unuings ot ihe conierence were stari ling revelations ol dope addiction. Mr. vvncox quotes Hon, James A. Hamil ton, £>ecrutary of M.itf ot New Y«>rk, as saying: '"Drug addiction is on tiie increase in the larger centers ot population in this country, as well a> others. What is more important is that the drug addics are generally between ihe ages of twenty and twenty-live >ears, which means that the use of habit £uno.( jno si .luiuuoj o ithe drug addicts are young women, of he«drug addicts are women.' Another speaker said. 'Tliery is one drug addict to every ((Mi persons in in the United States as lar as can be estimated, and the trailic in nar cotic drugs shows the I'm ted States to be the largest consuming country with an average of thirly-six gram of opium capita ss conliaste>l i with one grain fh Italy, two in Germ any, three in France, iu>l tiuee and one half grains in llolluiiil. " But horrifying as may be the evi dences of the ravages of the dope evil we are more cmicerneil with lhe con structive phase, with what can be done to reclaim present slaves or prevent further victims. The law-en forcing group, represented by Sir. Meyer, City Attorney of Houston, Texas, Jame* A. Hamilton, of -titate of New York, I'aaon W. II Rliss of Seattle, saw "the need of more policemen, stricter laws, longer jail sentences, more corrective insti tutions, and harsher treatmeat all the way mound." Another group saw in education the escape from the evil. Dr. tieo. M. Kober, dean of Georgetown Universi ty Medical j School and chairman of the convention said: " 'The caune is in the American manner and mode of life Educa tion must stem the tide. There must be a slowing-down ol llio present ile sire to have all thri nerve amusement. There must be a rational rest.' Hon Jules J. Jusserand, Ambassador fruiH France, said, 'Education is the chief thing.' Education, he explained, coupl ed with preventive legislation ami a continuous aggressive warfare against smugglers ami those who peddled the drug." A large group of medical men. chief being Dr. Daniel J. McCarthy, representing the State Board ol Health and the University of I'eensvl-, vania upheld the argument that "given proper conditions, treatment, anil MI. derstand'ng, the addict could be «-li ed.

As a most heathly and even a necessary adjunct to a proper cure. Dr. McCarthy frequently stressed Uie power of religion, the power of gou-i influence of an understanding minister to assist in the building up of the will and the restoring of strength of charaater." Going even more deeply into causes and cures was a group of whom Eu gene C. Brokmeyer, legislative re presentative of the National Associ ation of Retail Druggists, was spokes' man. He "made a strong and mo»t earnest plea for a return to home con trol of young peop'e. 'The first re quisite is the power to think, ami self control in the use and the non-use of drugs. In educating, the home comes first and the pulpit and the press should cooperate. Unless there is hope in the home there is no solo tion We stress too much the con trol ffom without and say too little about the control from within. The problem rests first wi'h the fathers and mothers of the country."" "There is something more than sensational news in the tffats 'of modem life on sn increasing number of people. The very fact that there are these needs and this world-wide menace should lead seVious-minded men and women to fortify ther souls and to avoid the dangers by haipfui living.
