Floods at Spartanburg.
Spartanburg. Special.- Spartan
burg was visited last week by what
practically amounted to a cloud-burst
and there was daniage done in sever
al sections of the city and county.
The damage while coniderable was
not heavy and the wild rumors that
were current at first for the most
part proved to be false. There have
for several days been heavy rains
in this section and the precipitation
Thursday was the heaviest in some
time. Up to 6 o'clock Fridav after
noon the rainfall was 4.8 inches and
during two hours the rainfall amount
ed to 3.5. There was talk here of an
other Pacolet flood, but inquiries at
the 'various mills in this section re
vealed the fact that outside of high
water and inconsiderable damage,
the water had not done much harm.
Water rose in the engine room of
some of the mills and it was nec
essary to shut down. The streams
in th'is vicinity are rising and if the
heavy rains continue there is a pos.
sibilitv of being considerable losses.
In the city of Spartanburg there was
damage done to the amount of several
hundred dollars. Culverts in many
portions of the city were washed
away and on west Main street the re~
taining wall at the side of the street
washed away, carrying a portion of
the sidewalk, telegraph poles and
shade trees away.
St. George -Visited by Disasterous
Fire.
St. George. Special.-Tice most dis
astrous conflagration in the history
of St. George occurred about 1 o'clock
Thursday night when four mercan
tile establishments and two residences
in the business section of the town
were destroved. The cause of the
fire is unknown, but it is thought that
it was of iniceniiary origin. The fire
started in the store of W.,HI. Lott,
on south Main street, and spread rap
idly to the- adjoining buildings. Or
account of the lateness ot the hour
and the fact that t he town maintains
no fire department made it impossible
to cheek the flamerj and for a time
the entire business section was
threatened. The loss will amount
to at least $10.000, which is partially
covered by insurance.
Newberry Warehouse Bought by
Standard.
Columbia. S.pecial.-The property
of the Newberry Warehouse company
has been bought by the Standard
Warehouse company of this city.
Messrs. George W. Summer. presi
dent of the Newberry company, and(
Mr. W. H. Hunt, attorney, were in
Columbia to close the deal and ar
range the necessary papers.
Cotton Badly Damaged.
Goodwill, Special-This section was
deluged with a big rain as any of
the season. It is a very serious mat
ter now with the farmers who have
some good cotton in spite of the we'
season, that the fruit is rotting where
it is mature enough to be opening.
With big leaves and rank foilagc
where soda has been applied, rains
weekly every day and almost no sun
shine, the mature bolls are rotting tc
such an extent that from one-fort!L
to one-third of theC prospective yield
is being cut off.

The weather was partly cloudy.to
cloudy, and generally sultry, the en

For "Home Coming Week."'
Columbia State.
The Chamber of Commerce's com
mittee on State fair met to consider
the matter of bt-inging attractions
here this year. It has been decided
to have an "Auld Lang Syne' week
in connection with~ the State fair, and
South Carolinians from all over the
United States are invited to take part
in the home-coming. The railroads
have been asked to give reduced rates
from all parts of the country. The
occasion of this home-comin- celebra
tion is the 30th anniversary of the vic
tory of Wade Hampton and the
Democrats and the overthrow of Radi
eal misrule. It is nroposed to have
a parade showing in typical -manner
the devlooment of South Carolina
since that time. The feature of the
parade will be a "eritter company"
or a band of mounted men in red
shirts, the uniform which drove terror
to hearts craven with crime and guilt.
It is proposed that the riders in this
I parade be men who took part in the
actual termoil which made great the
leaders in that campaign. The details,
of this feature of "old home'' week
are to be worked out and suggestions
will be received with pleasure by Mr.
E. B. Clark. secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce. Any ideas which
will add to the pleasure of fair week
will be appreciated. Manager K. G.
Barkoot. the carnival man, is here
trying to make a contract for fair
week. He says he has newv shows
engaged and can give a midway ex
tending from the posto'ffice to the
State house. dewn Gervis to the Sea
board Air Line passenger station
and occupyin part of the 'space in
Assembly street Dollita, the little
woman who attracted so much atten
tion here last fai'i week, is a mother.
The baby is nearly a year old . and
weighs l14 pounds. Fair week is just
eight weeks hence gnd preparations
will be started at once to make this
a great home-coming week for South
Carolinians residing in other States.

Race-No Worse Enemies to Busi
ness Progress Than Lynchers and
Those Who Provoke Lynching.
Atlanta, G., Special.-The Seventh
annual session of the National Negro
Business League, of which Booker T.
Washington is president, opened here
with over a thousand negroes from
all parts of the country present.
Speeches of welcome L.ere made by
Mayor Pro Tem Harwell and Presi
dent Sam D. Jones, of the chamber
of commerce, which were responded
to by the more prominent negro
business men.
The meeting was called to order by
W. B. Matthews, president of the
local organization, who made the
opening address. The regular pro
gramme of the convention was then
taken up and a number of speeecs
on various industries discussed by
negro business men. The sessions.,
will'continue three days.
The principal feature of the night
session was the annual address of
the president of the organization,
Booker T. Washington.
After explaining the objects of the
National Negro Business League,
Booker T. Washington, in his. annual
address as president of the league,.
said in part:
"We believe that while the world
may pity a crying, whining race, it
seldom respects it. We believe.4hat
the influence of one'great. scess in
really accomplishing sin thig .that
the world resnects will, *farther in
promoting our interests. Let con
structive progress be the dominant
note among us in every section of
America.
South Negro's Best Home.
"Right here in Georgia we have
abundant evidence that the negro is
learning this lesson at a rapid rate.
It is safe to say that the negro in
Georgia owns at .least $20,000,000
worth of taxable proprerty and that
our people in other sections of the
South have made almost equal
progress. Within the past year I
have inspected and studied tthe eon
.itions and progress of our people in
the Northern and Western States,.
and I have no hesitation in reaffirm
ing my opinion that the* Southern
States offer the best permanent aibode
for the masses* of our people. -
"There is much that the bravi;'in
telligent, patriotic white men of
America can do for us; there is mueb
we can do for ourselves. The .execu
tive authorities should se that every
law is enforced, regardless of race
or color; that the weak are protected
against injustice from the strong.
We have examples in several South
erm States that this is being done in
an eneouraging degree.
Must Get Eid of Criminals
''On the negro's part wve have a*
duty. Our leaders should see-to- it
that the criminal neero. is -got rid of
whenever possible. Making- all al
lowance for mistakes,. injustice and -
the influcace of racial pride, I have
no hesitation in saying that one of
the elements , in our present situa
tion that gives me most concern is
the large number oftc rimis klhat are
being committed by neibers of our
race. The negro is committing too'
much crime, North and South. The
crime. aZ lynching everywhere and at
all times should be condemned anid
those who commit crime of any na
ture should be condemned. Our
Southland today has no greater
enemy to business pr-ogress than
lynebiers and those who provoke
lyrnehing.
''We cannot be too -frank or too
strong. in -discussing thle harm that.
the commritting of crime is doing our
race. Let iu .stand up straight-end
speak out and act in no uncertain
terms in this direction. Let us. do
our part. and then let es call on- the
whites to do their part.
''Right here .in the South the~e,'are
'iore things upon which the races
agree than upon ivhich they disagree..
There is no section 'of 'thd &Suth
where the negro farmer, mechanic,
merchant and banker cannot find en
couragement,- opportunity anii pros-5.
perity. In -this respest let us not
<.verlook the fact that many similar
opportunities are at our door."
