STORM DID DAMAGE HEAVY WIND AND RAIN PLAYED HAVOC Wind and Rain Storm Which Struck Gastonia About 10 O'clock This Morning Demolished Chimneys, Blew One Store House Off Its Foundations and Flattened Fences and Small House Damage at Transformer Station and Ozark. A stiff wind and a driving rain struck Gastonia shortly before ten o'clock this morning which seemed at the time to threaten considerable damage and served for a few mo ments to keep everybody on their nerve. At the time of going to press The Gazette has not learned of any seri ous Injury either to persons or build ings but no reports have been re ceived from the other sections of the county. The wind and rain apparent ly swept down without a moment's notice and the sky darkened almost instantly. Blinding sheets of rain came in deluging torrents and many people who were working outside did not have time to get to shelter be fore getting wet. A new store building at the cor ner of South Oakland street and Fourth avenue, completed only a week or two ago and occupied by Mr. R. P. Parker, was blown from Its foundation and considerably damag ed, as was also the stock of goods. A small unfinished house belonging to Messrs. J. S. and Garland Torrence was blown from Its foundation. Chimneys were blown off at Dr. C. E. Adams, Mr. Z. B. Harry. E. B. Brlttain, W. F. Michael. J. S. Wray and a number of other houses. A section of the tile roof of the Southern Power Company's trans former station on East Airline ave nue about 12 feet square was blown off and some damage, Just the na ture of which we have not learned was done at tho Ozark Mill. It Is believed that additional re ports from other sections of the ct'y and the territory surrounding will bring the total number of Individual cases of damaee, perhaps all small, to a considerable number. A tree was blown across the C. & N.W. track a short distance north ot Dallas. Northbound passenger train No. 10 ran Into It and the cowcatch er was demolished. A delay of an hour or more was thus caused. MR. W. W. WISON DEAD. End Followed Illness of Two Weeks Rloodpoison Developed Follow ing Operation for Appendicitis Funeral and Interment at Union Yesterday. Bloodpolson which developed fol lowing an operation for appendicit is performed at the Presbyterian Hospital In Charlotte on Saturday, March 15th, caused the death of Mr. William W. Wilson, one of the best farmers and most highly esteemed citizens of the Union section of this county. Death came Wednesday morning at 9:20 as the climax or several days of Intense suffering dur ing which no hope for his reocvery had been entertained by the attend ing physicians or family. Accompanied by relatives the body was brought to Gastonia on the In terurban car arriving here at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon and was taken to his late residence at Union. Funeral services were held at 11:30 o'clock yesterday morning In Union Presbyterian church, of which deceased had for many years been a loyal and consistent member. Rev. George A. Sparrow, his pastor, officiated. Interment followed In the Union cemetery. A very large number of relatives and friends was present to pay their last respects to tho dead. William W. Wilson was a son or Robert N. Wilson, familiarly called by his comrades "Poplar Bill" be cause of his height, and was born in York county, South Carolina, Feb ruary 8, 1855 For the past thirty years he had lived at his present home place in Union where he en gaged in farming. In this he was very successful and had accumulat ed considerable property. He is sur vived by his widow, who was a Miss Nolen, and ten children, as follows: Mrs. Dr. L. I Campbell, of York county; Mr. Thomas Wilson, a drug gist of Thomasville, and the follow ing at home, viz: Robert, Mamie, Frank, Lela, George, Annie, Joe and Fred. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. W. Newton Craig and Mrs. John W. Riddle, both of Union. One brother, Mr. Laban Wilson, died six years ago from bloodpolson and an other brother, Thomas Wilson, was killed by a negro in 1884. Mr. Wilson .was known to a large number of people in Gastonia. His figure was a familiar .one on the streets. Like his father he was tall, being about six feet two inches in height. Many years ago he lost the sight in one of his eyes by an acci dent. There was perhaps no man tn the southern" part of the county more universally liked than William Wil son. He was a man of high quality of character and. was true in all the relations of life. He had lead an active and vigorous life and 'his death will leave a gap in the com munity which causes great sorrow with a multitude of friends and rel-1 tires.
