TERRiFIC STORM
IN KING GEORGE
A Tornado Accompanied with
Mail Sweeps Across the
County.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
COMORN, VA., September 2S.?Sunday
evonln/i's storm was the most destruc?
tive that has visited King Georg,, coun?
ty In many years. Hall-stones as large
as partridge eggs played havoc with
crops, trees and several dwelling houses.
The wind assumed the character of a tor?
nado, and wrought great damage.
Dr. M. Vf. Minor, of this pace, had
6,000 feet of select seasoned lumber hack?
ed In his barn lot. The wind not only
blow It away, but broke and spilt it up
Into -splinters. Scarcely a v-'hole piece of
lumber was left.
The storm's track wan not more than
three quarters of a mile wide, and was
one of the most terrific ever known
here.
But few people left their plantations
to-day for any purpose, all remaining at
home to repair damages.
The storm traveled from southwest to
northeiat, nnd spared nothing Jn Its
track. The damages on Dr. Minor's farm
will reacli at least one Wind red dollars.
Late crops, unpulled fodder, fruit trees
and forest trees were demolished by the
terrific wind and hall combined.
Cattle and horses In pastures were con?
siderably bruised by the hall-stones.
Some old forest trees that have defied
a thousand fiercest storms were twisted
and ruined.
This section hns so long been exempted
from disastrous storms, that the one of
yesterday has caused no little excite?
ment.

WILD FLUCTUATION
IN COTTOM MARKET
September Shorts Make F^ush
to Cover Seikding Prices
Soa?ing.
(By ARKor/iite'l Press.)
NEW YORK. Seinem ber 2S.?There was
? wild rush of September shorts to cover
In the cotton market this morning, and
the- price for thaii delivery rose and fell
In a manner that recalled the earlier days
of the bull campitigli. Closing on Satur?
day at 11.12, it opTned this morning at
11.10. The next sailta was at 11.17. and from
this It jumped to 1 |.23. Then it was forced
up five and ten points at a time, until
12.05 was reached t a net gain of about
a cent a pound, o t nearly Uni on a trading
contract of IbO 1 ?ales.
At this level the demand subsided some?
what and reactci I to 11.50, the decline be?
ing almost as ? npld and sensational as
the upward mo-jY-ment. It was a notice
day for September, and while notices of
considerable coti'on were Issued, they
were reported ta be promptly stopped by
a broker repres) anting the New Orleans
hull crowd, and. they evidently fell short
of covering th? entire outstanding short
interest. At a:to* rate, shorts became ur?
gent buyers ?t?n after the call, and tho
New Orleans "bull leader was an active
supporter of Ihe opinion, indicating ap?
parently a willingness to accept all ac?
tual cotton oftered.
The balance.) of the list was fairly ac?
tive and firm,/showing net gains of seven
tc? fourteen Hoints at the best, easing off
slightly aften.vard with September.

THE MAN

'Twas the night before Tuesday, when
out on the street
A. poor man went hunting for something
to eat.
Ho hadn't a cent, nor a friend that he
knew.
And lie was near starved?wan ted some?
thing to chew.
Bo ontered a lobby and passed 'round
his hat,
Then ho said to himself, "There is noth?
ing In that!"
So ho went to tho corner, with manner
forlorn,
Just as hungry as any dog hunting a
bone,
"Gimmo a dimo for to buy me some
bread,"
Ho asked of a man with a hat on his
head.
But tlio man passed him by, he was
dressed up so neat,
And, lo, and behold he wore shoes on
his feot.
" 'TIs hard to get on In a world llko this
here,"
Ho said as ho glanced at a sign that
read "Beer.''
"But I'll make ono more trial, then If 1
don't land,
111 go to the river nnd Jump In tho
sand."
"I'm hun-.;ry and homeless," ho uttered
aloud,
As he passed hy tlio remnants of what
was a crowd.
"If one of you fellows can spare mo the
time,
I just want to nsk you to gimme a
dime.
I'm hungry and thirsty, and no pinco to
Can't work nt my trade, which Is shovel.
