Gastonia, April 22—A hail storm of large proportions prevailed here Saturday afternoon about 1:30 o’clock, covering a large amount of territory east of Gastonia from Ranlo to Lowell. Hail covered the ground so that it had the appearance of being mantled with snow. The foliage of the trees and shrubbery was whipped into shreds in several places. Otherwise no known damage was done. Very little hail fell in the heart of the city but heavy showers prevailed.
