It seems oert ain, however, that many lives and nillions of dollars worth of prop ety have been lost. The first intimation of the dis ster that reached 'Piokene was whon older inhabitants talked of be hard rain of the night before, whilh, they said, was worse than the June Freshest," and reports ame from the County that the ridges across -the little streams rere gone; then, naturally, they ogan to think about the artificial ake at Sapphire, and when the )olenoy, Little and Big Eastatoe ias said to be on a rampage, then hey began to wonder as to the Sa. uda and Keowee. Reports began o come in of bridges on both troams being gone and when a aessage stated that the Seneca iver had began to rise at a rapid ate they knew their fears-wero a eality. A newspaper representative went o Seneca Saturday afternoon. At he railroad bridge tho Seneca river vas a raging torrent, fully a mile vide, the rushing water extending rom the hills on one side of the treani to the'ther. The magni. tcent bottom fands on the C y lantation, which have plant., d in cotton which ust begin.. ing to con Ip, were covered ithi wate jm three to seven feet ee> everal persons wer seen at the iver who were raised ' n 0 nd they said the ter was higher han the -ever seen it. The go was inspected by the train rew and by Superintendent An, lerson, who was along, and the rain proceeded to Seneca. At Seneca it was learned that ;hore had been great damage along bhe streams in the upper part of Dconee and Pickens counties but letails were mogro. At the Newry cotton mills three operatives cottages were reported wvashed away, and it is said that (0 bales'dof cotton had been washed away from the warehouse. No lives wvere reported lost. It was said the water was in the second story of the mill building. Nothing defite could be learnied ~rom1 the Norris cotton mills, at 3ateechiee, but the water was re >orted very high there. All trains were annulled between Tharl otte and Greenville Saturday ifternoon. It is reported that sov aral trestles were washed away near Bpartanburg Baturday afternoon. Trhe trestle over Seneca, between Seneca and Central, was standing it 6 o'clock Saturday afternoon, but a later report reached here that it had been swept away. A train passed over it about 4 o'clock, but shortly afterward it was moved several inches by the force of the current, but has boon kept stand. ing by being weighted down by oars of coal. Repairs have been made on it and it is now safe and :rains are passing over it. The flood which came down seneca river seems to have been caused by a heavy rainstorm which swept over the entire mountain district during Friday night. A telegram was received at Sen eca Saturday afternoon saying that the dam at Sapphire Lake, N. C., had broken at 12 o'clock that day. T'his 's the dam at the big pleasure. lake built by the Toxaway Comn pan~y in the mountains of North Carolina last summer. The lake is said to be 21 miles in circurnfer ance. It is situated on the head wvaters of the Keowee river, which nmpties into Seneca river, and the full force of the released waters from the lake probably came down Seneca river Friday night. Thle dam was built between two high bluffs at the foot of Hogback mountain, and is said to have been built of earth alone, without a con crete core and wvithout the protec tion- of riprap work. Attention was first called to the unsafe condition of the dam in the Daily Mail about two months ago, and copied in this paper, Commnunication has been cut off, thie trains not running and tele. phone and telegraph wires being dlown, but the worst of the flood was in Spartanburg, along Pacolet river, where it was reported, and the report confirmed that the Pac olet Mills No. 1 anid 2, and two mills at Clifton, in Spai'tanburg county, had been washed away, en tailing a property loss of over two million dollars, and that one hun-' dred lives had been loat. Further details of the loss in the Spartan-. burg distriot are given ini another part of this paper. Wi~ the i%.ast1 )> the A'nerion doigttit ha. W alien this section. tniay be se ral days before the full extent o it will be known, The Beoediot-Love Lumber cow pany, whicb has a large .plant oi 3eneca river at the Air Line tres Ae, was a heavy loser, nauy hun Ireds ofalukble logs being washq tway. A great.nutuber of the log ,assed over Pertman dam and ar, loubtless scattered all the wa1 'rom the-lumber mill to Augusta The bridge known as Posesun Vapey over the Oolenoy, as wel ke other bridges over the creelt tnd various branches throughou he county, are washed away. 0i 3aluda river the Mayfield bridge il ,unken in and a part of it gone ;he McHugh bridge is gone, a Runt's bridge, Cox bridge an< Dunharn's bridge. The railroa >ridge over Paluda was badly bat -ered and trains could not "pas wer it. On Twelve Mile nearl; wery bridge from its head to it mouth has'been washed away, a ias several on Town Creek; th sarah Alexander bridge on Easta oe is gone, while it has been ow ill over the bottoms and rII fe he crops aloug the vall.. 01 Keowee the Lawre ridge an he bridge at Old ickens are bot zone. Wyli oody, on Saluda lad fo ables, three large shel er big crib, 3,000 bundles o odder, a tenant house with all o Its furnishings, a saddle, buggyan< harness washed away; he recover, Bd the buggy and harness but i were badly damaged. d a ar and race was als ashed awa3 H is between $50 This county has never exper enced such a calamity before. Wit the internal damage to the count and the damage to the farmer taxation will be something to kic about next year. With the preF ent incumbence of the county an the enormous amoULit required t put back the bridges in the count we will have to levy a tax equal t that required a few years ago t retire the railroad bonds; in fac we think the debt of the counut this fall will be greater than thoi Cromwell Happenings. Since writing last we have ha rain in abundance and it must ha' been a general rain all over the com ty from the amount of water tha came down Saluda river. Old me claim it was higher Saturday nigi than they had over sooni t. Fra best information up to Monday morr ing Easley and Hunt bridge are a that is left on Saluda, and the Easlk bridge is reported damaged to som extent. The iron bridge below usi also gone. The Southern Railway is tied u] on account of several trestles bein] nashed away. Hundreds of peopl visited Saluda trestle Sunday to sc a large force of hands at wvork on i The mad'waters had underminde three or four of the mud sills an threw the track badly out of lin Capt. Tom Saimley with fifty or se enty-five hands in wvater five or si feet deep soon backed up mud sill and let freight trains over. 1Had n passenger. trains since Saturday an not likely to have any until three< four trestles are built between hei and Spartabburg. We are told ti mail will ...e very uncertain for th next ten days. We made a very unexpected tri to Clinton last Tuesday, and wivu there wvas shown through the orpha: age by Mrs. Flora Lathem.

There is strong talk, (in case ti Easley bridge is much damaged,)< consolidating the (lox bridge and into one and put it above the Rai road trestle. Master Ben Bentley and Mr. Pe: Iuman, of Furman visited at Mrs JDentley Saturday and Sunday. An one wishing a teacher would do we to give themi a trial as they are hot scholars and up-to-date boys. If the farmers were not brave mei they would be scared clear out< their socks when they look out in th cotton fields. Grassl so much of that the top of the ground looli green.
