Weteree river to Mechanics-Ville on the Lee county line between twelve and one yesterday -while still incomplete as the detals serves but to prove that the first estimates of the extent of the disaster were less than the reality It seems certain that twenty persons lost their lives for that number have been accounted for and identified and more than thirty Injured si4 or more being seriously hurt while a larger number sustained minor injuries The property damage has not been tabulated but an estimate- believed to be conservative places the aggregate loss above a hundred thousand dollars Some persons who have made a partial inspection of the storm swept area between Horatio and Mechanicsvllle estimate the loss due to the destruction of farm houses tenant houses household goods barns live stock farm machinery and Implements etc at more than double the lower estimate As a matter of fact it is to place a figure on the actual immediate loss that the property owners and their tenants sustained It is sp great and so thorough as to appal and sadden all who have visited the stricken neghborhoods Horhtio the large plantation of Mr Jackson was sw-ept almost bare of all buildings including his home Mrs Jackson who 'was in the dwelling when tire storm -struck it escaped without ln- jury although the house was completely demolished On the plantation eight of the
