wrecked. The Central Grammar
School is badly hurt and the
Davidson Grammar School is
damiged severely.
In addition to the fires already
reported, it develops that there
? were ten smaller houses burned
0 in different sections of the city.
As the water goes dowu further
it is feared that damage similar
to the Triangular block damage
will develop.
As to the loss of life, twenty
two bodies have been recovered
and corpses are found every
hour or so. The captain cf the
river steamer Swan, which got
iu today, reports that he saw, on
the up trip, at least twenty-five
corpses, all negroes except one,
a white man. There are reports
of many drownings among the
T1 ck crrrt farm Uanrlo f

yalley. The Chronicle estimates
the death list at sixty.
The citizens in mass meeting,
the city council in special session
and the board of health in
special session, have taken
measures to relieve the distress.
Citizens are subscribing to a
fund to help the poorer people in
the submerged district, tor por
tions of the town are still under
water. There is sure to be the
greatest suffering and relief must
be quick to prevent starvation
swelling the death list.
In some districts people, who
cannot leave their houses, have
not tasted food since Wednes
day night. Augusta is trving
hard to measure up to the demand
upon her.

of track and twelve bridges on
the Colorado A Southern Kailway

rapidly and as the water
leaves the streets it is apparent
that the loss lias been underestimated.

which lloated away, sustains a
loss of $100,000; Raid's Cotton

Editor Fooshee on Plantin
Turnips.
Several times lately we ha\
been asked as to the best tirr
for the planting of turnips. \\
answer now, it the ground
seasonable. But remember thei
is no possibility of making tu
nips on ground that is not 1
apple pie order. On account *
the seed being very small, it r<
quires that there be plenty moi
lure when they are planted,
is best to plant in the drill. Fc
table use the purple top and tl
yellow aberdeen hold the firi
places and lor a salad turni
there is hardly anything so goo
for this section as the old soye
lop. If your ground is not no
in reaumess, net if ready to plat
at I lie next rain. Any ol the?
varieties can be planted all rigl
till the middle ot September.
For stock some of the whit
varieties might be planted An
with corn a dollar a bushel, it I
well worth the attention ot th
thrifty farmer to devise soni
means to fatten his lions o
something else than corn. Turi
ip? will come in to help out th
situation very much and ever
farmer should try to plant a iroo
spot in turnips. It will pay t
do so. ? Fairfield News an
