Last night just before bedtime, about 9 o’clock, a heavy storm arose in the west and swept over the northern portion of the county. The hail fell in torrents in a section of the county reaching from Leggetts around by Speeds.
Mr. W.A. Hart stated to the Southerner that he was badly damaged on his Mabry Farm.
The extent of this damage could not be ascertained today, but enough has been told to know that the damage done crops by this storm has been very great. But little hail fell in Tarboro, only enough to know that there was a hail storm. No damage was done in this immediate section.
