It W a GREAT DISPLAY OP LIGHTNING Fearful Electric Storm Passed Over City Before Day Friday—Wire Sys tems About Only Suffer ers. One of the most spectacular eleo irir: storms ever witnessed in Augusta visited the city this morning about 1 o’clock. Vivid flashes of lightning followed each other In rapid succes sion, accompanied by deafening crashes of thunder. The firmament seemed one solid sheet of lightning for quite awhile. Both sheet and streak lightning emlnated from the same cloud, and the view was one of magnificent grandeur. People all ov-pr the city gazed on the scene from the best points of view obtainable under the circumstances. Scores of people have been talking about the wonderful occurrence all day and it. will probabfy be a long time before another such disturbance is noted here. It seems that but little damage was ' done in spite of the fact that several hundred volts of lightning must have found a lodging place somewhere. : With the bare exception of one giant oak, out near Turpin Hill, which was i completely shattered by a blast, no ! other damage has been reported In j the city. The police and Are alarm systems have been out of commission ! since the storm of Tuesday afternoon, i Fire department circuit No. 6 Is the 1 only one not now In operation and none of the others was damaged bv ! last night'a storm. The police alarms Were already out of order and they ' have not been materially hurt by the | storm. The traek of the storm was west, south and east of the city, describing a circle ns It went, lip Iti Hummer vlllo the rainfall was* scarcely no ticeable, while In the lower section ; of the city It was akin to a deluge. ■ I’p the Georgia railroad the down pour was of a torrential character as far as Grovetown, but at Harlem the rain had. praetically ceased, though ! a heavy rain fell earlier In the night. i The rain continued across country j and visited all localities smith of (he : city and on down near Hephzlbah and j toward Beech Island. While rain was badly needed In all the territory It Ib thought that the j downpour was so terrific that It did l more damage than good, blowing down corn and blowing out cotton 10 surh an extent thfit. It Will be several days before things resume u normal ap pearance. Thinks It Saved His Life. Lester M. Nelson of Naples, Mains, says In a recent letter: "I have used lir.

"And give me your eye a minute," echoed another, who wanted to point out the scenery. "And give me your nose a minute," added a third, with a huge bouquet. The celebrated foreigner was non plused. "By ze shades ot Bonaparte!" he exclaimed "I has often heard act »e Americans vere great souvenir hunters, but I did not know sat ley would take a map to nieces.
