ocal News* WEDNESDAY, JUNK 10. 1U03. Il.vii i Dniiifoll ??VUI I IIUIUIUHl The whole section ol upper Carolina was visited by very heavy raina last week, ami great damage is reported in many sections. On Saturday nil tho rivers and creeks were out of their banks, nod many bridges in Oconeo, Pickens, Greenville and Spartanbnrg Counties were washed away and tho crops in the bottom lands destroyed. In Anderson County the damage waB not so great as in t lie other Counties montione<l above. Seneca Uiver was probably higher than ever bet?r?, and Saturday night it wa? feared that the dam of tile An derson Water, Light und Power Co. at Portman Shoals wonld bo washed i away. The water reached 9 feet nod 1 ; inches over the top of the dam, with all the Hood gates open, nnd was neal ly four feet deep on the iloor of the power house t Tho dam was not injured, ! it the machinery in the power house could not be worked until yesterday, and the cotton milla and other enterprises in tho city using electr'c power werecloa ed down on Monday. All the machin ery lins been cleaned and everything is now in good order again. At Piedmont and Pelzer the Saluda Pi ver broke all former reettfUs, but no dnmngo wus done to the m'y? property in either town. At Pelzer thu water was three feet deep on tho tloor ol' tho iron bridge just below the dam. Considerable loss was entailed at Newry. The store house for cotton was badly wrecked and about sixty bales ol' cotton floated down the river. Water got np into the second lloor of tho Newiy mill. Dunham's Bridge, over the Saluda Hiver/ in Brushy Creek Township, erected-a few years ago by Anderson and Greenville Counties at a cost of ?3,500, was washed away. Tho Blue Ridge Railroad is the only Toad in upper Carolina that was not damaged by the high water. The Southern Railroad Hollered very heavy losses. The trestle over thu Si neca River, between Seneca and Greenville, waa slightly damaged, and one or two trestles between Greenville and Gaff ney were washed nway. On Sunday all tho trains over the Air Line Road came around by Anderson, and since then through trains lrom Atlanta and Charlotte have been running via Au gusta and Columbia, lt is said that is will be several days yet before through trains can bu run between At lanta and Charlotta. Local trains are >"i operated between Atlanta and ?? , . n villi: and between Gaffney and Charlotte. As usual the Columbia and Green ville Road au llb red and there were no through trains from Columbia to this section on Monday or yesterday. The river at Alston submerged the track for some distance and it was feared that some of the trestles along other portions of the road were damaged. It is expected that trains will run through today. Denver Dots. This section has been blessed with copious rains in the last ten days, but we have been BO far fortunate in escap ing the terrible storms that have de vastated many placea. We feel thank ful tbnt we have been spared, and have a heartfelt, sympathy for those who have been lesB fortunate than our selves. The loss of property in ntorni stricken Gainesville and the Hooded factories of Spartanburg is great nnd falls heavily on the mill owners. Bat how much greater the misersy of tho operatives, who have lost their little all. and aro weeping over their dead. Since the refreshing rains vegetation ha? put on new life and is growing rapidly. Farmers who had thinned ont their cotton now have it to thin again and a fine coat of grass to take out too. Although cotton is from 15 to 20 days late, farmers are in much bet ter spirits, and are putting in good work where it will do most good. Harvesting ?B about over and wheat and oats aro turning out better than -juna expected, though cot a full crop. Miss Louise Anderson, of Anderson, attended the picnic at Jolly Springs on the 30th ult. and visited friends at Denver. She has many friends here who are always glad to see her. The ?ionic waa a very enjoyable occasion, 'he address of Gov. J. H. Grant, late ly of the Phillippines, and tho exhibi tion of his curios waa especially inter esting and instructive. On Monday after tho picnio Prof. Chapman lett for his home at Chandler, S. C., and his assistant, Misa Mary Chapman, re turned to her home at Anderdon. Mr. Henry Derricott, after a week's vacation, returned J/onday io his posi tion on the Southern Railway. Our old friend, Mr. Wm. Bolt, of Deep Creek, was ir. Denver on business Monday. Mrs. Wm. 101 rod was called to An derson last Thursday on account of the illness of her grandchild, little Annie Karlo Farmer. Mr. J; R. Garrison is attending Court this week at Anderson us a juror.

Dear Su: It la all very weil for UH to say that it falcon fewer gallon? of Devoo Loud and Zino to paint a house than it does of mixed paints; but you want to know why. For the same reason that it takes letts ?ood cow'a milk to feed a baby tbau it oes of skimmed milk. Most mixed paints are fifteen to eighty per cent, adulteration-inconceivable, but true. Water isn't paint. Barytes isn't paint Whiting isn't paint. Ban sins lsu't paint. Petroleum ian't paint. ."Vi.sh oil isn't paint. None of these do the work that belongs to paint All they do is to fill the can. Devoo Lead and Zinc is one-hundred >er cent, paint. The adulterated mixed paints are only twenty to eighty-five per cent, paint Mixed paint ought tc be from fifteen to eighty per cont, cheaper than Devoe Load and Zinc-no; ttho wornt of them oughtn't to b9 anything. They waste ?our money; you not only buy more gal >ns, but you must pay the painter for spreading the extra number of gallons; and i-^inting costa three -times as much as tho ?.?int. Yours truly, F. W. DEVOK & Co., New York. P. 8- W. JJ B risseV ?ells our paint I; /B-V ?ont Ria-I.-om im Toola from t jfru.i Hird ware Cc. Court Proceedings. i Tho Bummer tomi of tho Court of General Sessions for Anderson County convened in this city last Monday, Judge Aldrich presiding. Solicitor KQK?<? and all the other Court officials were in their respective positions, and the Court started oft" promptly with its work. His Honor made a brief but pointed charge to the grand jury, who were given u number of indictments and at once retired tojfcheir room to en ter npon their wotk.^ During tho day they reported true billa in tho follow ing cases: Lonnie Ellis, murder; Joe Hui, Arthur Lewis, Wayman Norris, Joe Lockhart, Hub Williams, Hebert Parks and Hobert Prince, gambling; Bud Ward, assault and battery with intent lo kill; John McCullough, viola tion of dispensary law; Hud Ensloy, violation of dispensary law. No .bills were lound in the cases against Sam Dy re und Marion Dy rc, charged with assault and battery with intent to lull. Tiie ll rat case tried was that against Mary Burton, a negro woman charged with the murder of her husband. At the last tel in-of Court she was convict ed of manslaughter hut anew trial was granted her, and at this trial the jury rendered a verdict of not guilt v. Joe Hill, Arthur Lewis, Wayman Norris, Joe Db?kharr, Hub William?, Hobert Park? and Hoheit Prince, charged with gambling, were arraigned and plead guilty. Hill was hued c~0 or to serve 30 days in the chaingang, anti the others were lined $10or 20 days each. In the afternoon Ed Clark, colored, charged with the murder of his broth er-in-law, Joe ?Scott, was arraigned and plead not guilty. This caso was not iinished until yesterday at 1 o'clock p. m., when the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty. Yesterday morning the Grand Jury presented true biUs in the following cases: Charlie Gri?lu, violation of tho dispensary law; Dennis Forson, house breaking and larceny; Abe Evans, vio lation ot the dispensary law. Tho grand jury then submitted the following presentment and was dis charged: To His Honor. James Aldrich, Presid ing Judge : The Grand Jury begs leave to sub mit its presentment as follows : We have passed on all bills turned over to us by the Solicitor and handed the same in to the court. By committee we have examined tho books and accounts of the various County officers anti find them neatly kept and conveniently a.ranged for ?iublic iuspection. We find that the 'r?bate Judge has not made his no unal report to this Court, as required by law for some years. In the June tenn of this Court, 1002, the Grand Jury called attention to the failure of nearly all of the Magistrates in this County to make monthly reports to the Auditor aud Treasurer as the law requires, and recommend that the proper steps be token to have those re ports tiled. In this connection we note that the law requires Magistrates' con stables lo give bond, but we fail to lind any such bondon tile. In the Supervisor's office we noto that the pitBt indebtedness of the Connty is $12,514.<i0; an increase of 82,432.03 over last year. We have also examined the book., of the dispensaries in the County and lind them correctly kept and properly bal anced. The public buildings of the County were examined by committee and found in good condition with some re pairs under way. The court house bas been renovated and the suggestions made by the Graud Jury last year are being carried out. The jail is also be ing renovated, and we would recom mend that all exposed iron and steel be thoroughly painted. On the report of the committee .to inspect the County Home and farm pe lind the inmates are well cared-for and contented with the kind attention and comfort received. We note that tho suggestions of the Grand Jury have been carried out in the main. A num ber of repairs have been made on the tenement houses and some more should be made. We note with especial pleas ure the improvements around the lot and barn and the wiring in of pastures for hogs and nows for the benefit of the home. We find the farm in good condition and systematically arranged aa to providing much of the necessary ?maintenance of the institution from ne farm itself. The present Steward has eubmitted to us nia expense ac count 6ince he has taken charge in October, 1003, and we commend him for his efficiency and economy. We note in this connection that the Coun ty farm should be credited with $510.80 for feeding and caring for tho County road mules during the period Jon. 1st, 1003, to April 27th, 1003. We recommend that the Supervisor have the County farm resurveyed and {datted and all corners and boundary ines established. The County convict camps were aloo visited by committee and found in good order aud well kept. The pris oners are well fed and well cared for. Very good progress is being made in road-building considering the wc i \ winter and spring. Well defined rumors have reached us that commissions have been paid in some instances by pensioners-either directly or indirectly-for the collec tion of their pensions. We are not pre pared to present the matter fully to tho court, but we wish to warn and as sure all pensioners that after their pa pers aro put into the hands of the Pen sion Board they need not and should not be made to pay one cent of expense. Such a practico is pernicious and will destroy the beneficence of the pension law. ^ The business of this Court is con tinually delayed by the neglect of tho Coroner and the Magistrates of tne County to bind over material witnesses in important cases. Such neglect is inexcusable and expensive to the coun ty aud we hope that those officers will take duo notice. ' lu conclusion we desire to thank His Honor, the Presiding Judge, tho Soli citor and other Coutt officials for aid in discharging our duties. J. B. Douthit, Foreman. June 0th, 1003. Tho next case entered upon was that of Lonnie Ellis, charged under two in dictments with the murder of Will. Solesbeo at the Townsend Twine mill, near thia city, a few weeks ago, and carrying a concealed weapon or unlaw ful pistol. In the murder case, after hearing tho testimony of a few of the witnesses tho Solicitor agreed to an acquittal. In tho weapon case Ellis was convicted and he was sentenced to pay a tine of 840 oe serve three months m tho County chain gang. He paid the tine. Abe Evans, charged with violating the dispensary law, was next taken up, but tire jury had not rendered n ver dict when court adjourned yesterday evening, and were instructed to bring in a sealed verdict this morning. The Court this morning is engaged in trying Charles Griffin, charged with violating tho dispensary law. It is probable that the Court will concludo its work this evening or to? 'morrow.
