J irg the famous Pacolet ll >o 1, when it was erroneously thougin M that a cloud had "burst" som< ? where in the valley of the 1'aco '1 let tiver Naturally these heavy rains sent the rivers ot the State abuonn ing. The Catawba at Catawba is up 10.7 feet and rising; the Wateree at Camden is 29 feet and rising, with a forecast that it will be 32 feet or over tonight. The North Carolina water has not yet reached the Wateree, but will do so by tomorrow morning. A telegram from Camden gives an account of the dramatic carrying away of a hundred-foot span ot the vehicle toll bridge over the Wateree river (Catawba in North Carolina) at Camden. A number of people were on the bridge at the time watching the raging 'river. Of twenty.five persons on the bridge only six have been accounted for. Among those known to have been drowned are Mr. M. D. Kaborn and his son. A Mr. Savage, a prominent Northern man recently removed to Camden, is in a perilous position in a tree, with >wo negroes in midstream. Two thousand people were on the -cene shortly after the catastrophe, which happened at 4:30. The financial loss is $15,000. Mr. J. A.

As might be expected by one who knows Mr. Marks at all well, it was not to see relatives or mends that he made the trip down into -^outh Carolina. He saw his kiniolKs and friends, it is true, but ouiy as a small boy sees the -ide shows when he takes a day off tor the circus. There was a bit: gathering ot tiddlers in Lancas ter couutv, a sort ot convention, and Old Man Marks had gotten the word to come. lie went and ot course carried with him his fiddle. And such music did he make ! The gathering was at Hopewell church, Dixie township, last Friday a week ai:o. and there were fully 5,000 people on hand. After the big event was over Mr. Marks visited around and hence his delay in gettinc ba?k to the county. lie returned Saturday.
