The Press and Banner ?9-Publlshed every Wednesday at $2 ft year la advance. Wednesday, Sept. 19, 1888. A Dynpeptic and Atrabillona Editor. A victim of one of Edmund Burke's attacks, gave as a reason for there being no snakes in Ireland, that their venom was all concen. trated in the Irish orator. We do not know how the Greenville editor gets his supply, but we are sure that be exhibits venom and lit. tie else?"the contortions of the sybil, without the inspiration." We cannot believe that Ul? ?vw ? mere IS KIIJ lUCUIVU 1U mo lunuunn, UUU that be has ko small a modicum of sense, as to mistake the truo mission of the press and to suppose that it but subserves its sole end when It Indulges In vilification and abuse v No! be bolls over and splutters from "pure cussedness"?because he can't help it?it is ingrained In his very nature. "Let dogs delight to bite and bark For God hath made them so." Did he Indulge only In an occasional attack upon a brother editor, or pour out the vials of bis wrath only upon a set occasion, we might attribute his abuse to a temporary fit of indigestion, making him "see through a glass darkly," and befogging his Intellect In the same ratio that it excited his passions; but when peisonat abuse, and self conceited laudation form the staple of all he writes, we must think the malady chronic and perhaps incurable. We shall not attempt to play the part of bis physician, nor attempt a cure by Imitating his example, like the Spartans who attempted to care drunkenness by exhibiting in public, their drunken slaves. The remedy would be worse than the disease and the physician in a worse fix than the patient. We have neither taste nor talent for slinging mud; and at our time of life have no motive to change our tactics, or fight our battles with poisoned arrows. As we have said, the most charitable construction to put upon our brother's acts is that be cannot help being cross-grained, Illnatured and uncharitable. He writes as bis nature prompts, and the result Is,?as Is always the case where there Is either a lack of brains, or a lack of research?that Instead of discussion we have invective?personal abase instead of argument. Perhaps too, the Greenville editor congratu. lates himself upon the fact, that whilst indulging bis powers, be can fill op his columns more easily. To gather useful facts, to put tbem In logical order, and to reason out political and eoonomlo propositions,requires some Intellect, and some research, whilst any tool can use epithets and open the floodgates of abuse. We refer to the columns of the Grtenvilla Newt for the past six months, for an alarming dearth of all the qualities of head abd heart, which go to make up a great newspaper editor, bat on the other hand, an excess of the virulence and abuse, which characterises the worst forms of Journalism. The editor may indulge his inclinations, to their "flill bent." We will pursue our own courso. Yellow Fever. We learn, that Mrs. Marse, now Mrs. Sessions, returned from Florida last Friday, as a refugee from the fever. Mrs. Carrie Rlchey, wife of Mr. J. Augustus Riobey, formerly of this place, but now of *** 4 ??*? ?? * ' ? l? */vmn loof Cntnr. oiruiiukumij, mo., bukcuiu wnu uioi day at noon, bringing her three children. We have no authentic Information, but the report has been put in the air, that she is a refugee from yellow fever in Birmingham? that there was a case of it in the house of her next-door neighbor in that city. We ooold trace the report as to yellow fever being in the house of her next-door neighborto no reliable source, and it may be all error but it is certain that the oltlzens of any locality may be infected. New York and Philadelphia have suffered with it. Henderson. vllle has it Decatur has it, and possibly Birmingham has It. Yellow fever patients from any of these places may bring it among us, and we should not be unmindful of the fact. Owing to our altitude, and our remoteness from the sea or any great water course, it is not at all probable that the disease will ever be an epidemic in Abbeville village, but there la no reason why any individual citizen may not have the fever, if he comes within range of infected persons, or of healthy persons having communicated with Infected persons or places. As a rule yellow fever does not become epidemic In countries at great altitudes above the sea, but there are cases on record where it found vletimR fnur thonsund feet above the sea. While Id tho valley of the Mississippi a few years ago its highest range was some six hundred feet above the sea level. The alti' tude of Abbeville, we believe is about sevenhundred feet ? from two thousand to tliree thousand feet being considered above % the danger line. While the disease will never be an epidemic with us, Its presence would be greatly dreaded. One of the greatest dangers of having yel low fever In places remote from the scene Of its origin lies In the lack of intelligent medical attention as well as in the failure to secure the services of willing and reliable nurses. We learn, however, that some of our own doctors are reading up on the subject. and are making themselves familiar with the most successful practice in such cases, tbua depriving tho disease of one of Its most dreaded incidents?a doctor who Is not familiar with tho practice. Death lu Oar WellH. Tbe long continued wet weather has 110 aoum [uroiaawi u simmer ur a ^iculvj amount of "surface water" for every well, and as "surface water" often, if not always, contain! deadly poison, careful or prudent peraons will have the water frequently drawn out We bear of several cases of typhoid In the county, and in some Instances beloved neighbors are at death's door. No mortal man can assign with positive certainty the cause In any particular instance, but every Intelligent citizen knows that water is the most fruitful source of typhoid fever. Poison taken into the Btomach in water is more powerful, more certain, and more effective than in any other way. When the sparkling water may be for us "the destruction that wastetb at noonday," we are admonished to be careful lest we invite that disease?typhoid feveiv-whlch is as much to be dreaded as yellow fever, and which is fully as fatal in the per cent of cases. Even if sickness and death were not to be dreaded, we should for economic reasons alone use all possiple means to prevent typhoid fever. The cost of naises, medicines, doctors, coniDH ana iuucrm bajjouocj iiuutui Id a majority of cases greatly exceed the necessary outlay for drawing the water from ] our wells. From the very nature of things, our wells must be, and always will be, a source of dan. ger to health. The water Itself In Its purest state, is Altered through a substratum of clay, sand, or other formation far below the 6ur /ace, but when water scaps through the walls of our wells from top, or surrounding earth, which has been Impregnated with every degree of Impurity and filth, no reasonable being can doubt that our water fountains are the receptacles for much of the vilest filth and poison. When it is remembered that a well, by the natural law of gravitation, will drain the top surface in all directions for about three times its depth, we are not amazed that there is filth, destruction and death Id the pit from which we draw water. Augusta Is in telegraphic communication with many points along the Savannah. Would it not be well for the city authorities, or the Chronicle, to make such arrangements with local correspondents as would enable the city people to be Informed of an approachlog Hood? If the raln&ll at the different / places were telegmphed to the city the people could form their own conclusions, and mer I chants might save thousands of dollars^worth I of goods. If It had been known that a great freshet might reasonably be expected goods could have been moved up stairs. The Election for Clerk. The town has been thoroughly stirred np] for the last several days on the subject of the election for Clerk of the Court. Politicians prospective candidates, and news-gatherers have been in crowds, talking of the situation and speculating on the probable result. The' following persons have up to this time declared themselves as candidates, and we have been authorized to make thoannouncements in the order In which they are named below. 1 Capt. E. Cowan. 2 A. M. Aiken. 3 Capt. Wade E. Cothran. 4 Gen. R. R. Hemphill. 5 L. D. Connor. 6 Dr. J. W. Wldemau. 7 W. T. McDonald. 8 Thos. L. Moore. The names of many other citizens nave been menttoned in connection with the offlco, but we have not been authorized to connect their names with the candidacy. It will be noticed that Senator Hemphill's name apbears among the list of candidates for Clerk. In case he should be elected to the office for which he now declares himself a candidate then we would have an election for Senator to fill the vacancy which would occur on his resignation. W. II. Parker, Esq.. Colonel Eugene B. Gary and W. O. Bradley, Esq^ have been suggested as probable or possible candidates for Senator, if the vacancy should occur. The reader will understand that we are not authorized to say that either would be a candidate. In this statement we merely give the idle talk on the street, without giving authoritative expression from either of the gentlemen named. The question has been raised as to whether Senator Hemphill should resign before he runs for the office of Clerk of the Conrt. There is a wide difference of opinion as to what be should do. A number have been very pronounced in their expressions that he should resign, and the opinion has been advanced that he could not possibly be elected Clerk while noiaing on vo we piace ui aum tor. On the other hand, it Is said by some that he should not resign; that the fact of his election to Clerk of the Court would make an opening for Senatorial aspirants, and that the prospective candidates for Senator, and their respective friends, whatever may be their personal preferences, for this reason alone would throw no stone in Senator Hemphill's way. The example of Judge Cothran 1b supported In the view that there is no necessity for a resignation. Judge Cothran was elevated to the Bench while Solioltor, and he was afterwards elected to Congress while on the Bench. It is further urged in support of this view, that Judge McGowan was elected to the Supreme Bench while a member of the General Assembly, and that later Mr. Parker was a candidate for Judicial honors while holding a seat In the House of Representatives. Speaking for ourself it seems that the precedents and the results would not favor a reslg nation. Whatever fate may have come upon those who have heretofore held on to their offices while running for other offices, It would seem that the fates are against those who do resign. Just now we do not recall a single instance where the officer who has resigned, has been elected to another office. .tsui ngni or wruug, ocuttiui uciupuui ymposes to settle the question for himself. When asked if be was going to resign, be replied that he "had no idea of doing so." And here we rest Augusta's Condition. We are in receipt of a circular from the cotton merchants of Augusta in reference to the recent flood, In wbloh we think reflections are cast upon the newspapers. If a city ever attains any greatness the fact Is generally made known by the newspapers, and we are inclined to think that the newspapers everywhere have been friendly to the city of Augusta. In tbat circular the merchants say: "We have had the greatest freshet in our history, but we are glad to report that with a very few exceptions our merchants are as well prepared for business as if we had not been visited by our watery gue6t. Our cotton merchants, sellers and buyers, are roady for all the business that can ofler (not a cotton warehouse in the city is injured), and the demand never better for cotton. The railroads will at once repair their washouts, and the steamers on the river are in splendid condition, and the cotton compress is intact." DEATH OF MAJOK M. G. ZEIQLER. Abbeville's BlOHt Popular Cltiion Meet* With a Violent and Untlmely Heath. A deep gloom was cast over our community on last Thursday by the violent and untimely death of onr popular and efficient Cleric of the Court, MaJ. M. O. Zeieler. who was run over and killed by the train about a mile and a half from Abbeville. MaJ. Zelgier was born in Barnwell county near Bamberg in 1830, and was educated at the Cokesbury Conference School. In 1849 he married Miss Lavlnla Dunwoody, a daughter of the Rev. Samuel Dunwoody, and was engaged in farming until the beginning of the At the first call to arms he voluntered in the service of hIs State, and his record as a soldier was unsurpassed. He was first Orderly Sergeant In a company in Orr's Regiment. In the Fall of 1861 he was sent oat by Col. Orr to organize a company. In a fow weeks be had over a hundred men enrolled, was unanimously elected Captain, and with his company Joined the Holcombe Legion. He was twice promoted for conspicuous gallantry on tbe field of battle, first to the position ot Major, and then to that of Lieutenant Colonel, but the commission for the latter position was not sent down until after he was captured. He led the famous charge of the Holcombe Legion at the battle of Seeond Manassas, but he and his company paid dearly lor the glory ? *?? /vArtooInn An? r\t 4V?Iaf. Wv/U UU luav wvooiuui VUK vt ?ui?v/-uf v or fective fighting men who went Into that battie as members of his company only six came oat unhurt. MaJ. Zeigler himself received three wounds, a flesh wound In the thigh, a slight wound on the knee, and a severe, almost a mortal, wound through the left breast, and was left on the field for dead. In about three or four months he was back at his post. He was slightly wounded again at the battie of Kinston, North Carolina, and was captured, but was almost immediately exchanged. In tbe early part of 1864 he was again taken prisoner near Weldon, North Carolina, and remained in prison until after Lee'u surrender, chiefly at Fort Delaware and Elmlrs. He was one of the six hundred officers whom the Union forces exposed to the flre of our own cannon on Morris Island. ab a soldier he was one of tbe bravest of the brave, and as an officer he won and deserved tho highest encomiums of bis superiors and was almost idolized by his men. After the war, although broken In health and shattered In fortune, he went bravely to work at his choosen avocation, and was engaged in farraldg until 1876, when by tbe unanimous call of bis friends he was Induced to enter the race for Clerk of tbe Court. It is a remarkable fact that out of over three hundred votes cast in his township In the primary election that year be did not loBe one. He was successful in that race, and was renominated in 1880,1884, and 1888, and made a most acceptable officer. It 1s perhaps not too much to say that he was the most popular man who has ever held office In Abbeville county. He was genial and aflable in bin manners, warm-hearted and faithful as a friend, liberal and generous to a fault. In all the relations of life, as a soldier, as a private citizen, as a public officer, as a husband and father, MaJ. Zeigler was possessed in an eminent, uegreu ui an ine quaimcs inai mase up a noble and true man. He left bis wife and seven children, one son and six daughters, surviving him. All his children are married except his two youngest daughters. His funeral services were held st the Methodist church on Friday afternoon at tbree o'clock in the presence of a large concourse of friends, and nls remains were Interred at Upper Long Cane cemetery. Four members of the Bar, Messrs. W. A. Lee, Wm. H. Harker, W. C. Benet, and W. O. Bradley, and the oounty officers, Capt. J. W. Perrin, Judge J. Fuller Lyon, Capt. Jno. T. Parks, Mr, A. W. JoneB, Mr. J. F. C. DuPre, and Mr. L. D. Conner, acted as pall bearers, and the members of the Bar attended the funeral In a body. As a mark of respect to bis memory all the stores and business houses in town were dosed during the funeral. Coi?. John W. Ferouuon was elected Senator of Laurens county, defeating the inoumbont Hon. T. B. Crews, by a small majority. 4'V.: 1 V> '" t MEETING OF ABBEVILLE BAR. L. D. Connor for Unexpired Term of Clerk of Conrt. The members of the Abbeville Bar held a meeting In Mr. Benet'a office on Haturday morning, 15th Instant. W. H. Parker, Esq., was elected Chairman,and T. P.Cothran.Esq., Secretary. There was a full attendance. The meeting was culled for the purpose of urging the Governor Immediately to appoint a successor to the late M. G. Zeigler, Clerk of Court, to All his unexpired term. The next Court begins on tho second Monday In October. Jurles to serve during the term have to be drawn at once. Other business of importance demands an immediate appointment of a Clerk. The derangement of the mails tnake it necessary to communicate with the Governor by telegraph. After a full discussion the following resolutions were unanimously Whereas, by the lamented death of M. G. Zelgler, Esq., Clerk of the Court of Common Pteas of Abbeville county, the said office 1b made vacant; and, whereas. In view of the fact that the coming term of the Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions will begin on the Becond Monday of October, Just three weeks hence, there Is hardly time left for the lawful drawing of jurors to serve during said terra of Court; and, whereas, L. D. Connor, Esq., has for twelve years served as Deputy Clerk in said office, and is eminently fitted by experience and familiarity with the business of the office to discharge the duties thereof. Therejore, be Resolved, That the members of the Bar of Abbeville respectfully reouest his Excellency the Governor to appoint L. D. Connor Clerk of the Court Common Pleas to All the unexpired term of the late M. G. Zelgler, Esq. Resolved, further, That the Governor be respectfully urged to make said appointment immediately. Resolved, further, That the Secretary telegraph the action of this meeting to the Governor and request him to telegraph his appointment. The Bridge*. The County Commissioners have not been idle since the freshet. Active preparations havebeen and are being made lor a speedy repair of the bridges. The bridge at wardlaw's was not washed away. It was damaged. The damage has been repaired, and it is ready for public use. The bridge across Calhoun's creek at Warrenton was so securely bolted together, that it went down the stream as a whole. It has been put back In place. The rebuilding of the bridge known as Davis's bridge across Little River may be deferred for the present, and some $500 saved In that way. The little bridge on the branch, at Capt. S. W. Cothran's on the road to Duo West, has been rebuilt. The ford at Raplev'g shoals is used by psrlining ???* In nAmlnrr tA t.ho OVUO At TiU5 ucni T VIUV* J , AM WU1?o ?V ? village. The of the bridge at Cade's Mill may be hastily supplied. We learn that Mr Cade proposes to build what he terms a "temporary low bridge" r.cross the stream at the island for $100. The old fashioned high bridges generally cost, we believe, from 8500 to 8800. we see no reason why the County Commissioners may not farnish the iron to bolt down the "low temporary bridges," and thus make them permanent. A bridge that is built near the water, is covered with the swollen stream before the rafts come down, and so the low bridges stand, while the nigh bridges are washed away because of the rafts which accumulate. A high bridge is much more likely to wash away. The covered bridge at Calhoun's mills Is all right. The abutments have been repaired. The bridge at White's has been repaired. If a low bridge, securely bolted down, was put at Dendy bridge it seems to us that a great saving could be made, and the travel much less Inconvenienced than under the present arrangement. With a bridge of this sort, the stream could be crossed as soon as the water ran down, but at present the bridge cannot be reached In high water, and when the water is gone, the bridge is usually Is gone, or seriously injured, The low bridge experiment might be worth the cost. Charleston Famlieo Quarantined. Charleston, S. C., Sept 15.?The breaking out of yellow fever at Hendersonvillo has created considerable consternation here, Hendersonvllle being the summer resort of a large number of wealthy Charlestonians. Immediately on receipt of the news of fever at that place the mayor issued orders quarantining it; and this complicated toattere, as many women and children were on their way home, having run from the fever. No person from Hendersonvllle or any place in that vicinity Is allowed to come to the city now without a certincato from tho health officer sent to Hendersonvllle. The medical people here are rather out-spoken In denouncing Surgeon General Hamilton for allowing the trains of refugees to go to Hendersonvllle. Tho surgeon general wus applauded in his efforts to isolate the fever when Jacksonville people were denouncing him. Now that he has allowed 500 fever people to get out of the state, there Is no telling where the fever may not go. All the cities and towns in this state are on the qui vive, and have kept the lever at a distance up to this time. The Hendersonvllle fever trains, however, rtinder extra precaution necessary. All the guards around Charleston have been increased, and the strictest surveillance Is observed. The city 16 at present remarkably healths', and the authorities will spend thousands of dollars to keep It so. Still, the Hendersonvllle quarantine works considerable hardship upon many lamllies. The people are flying from the place in every direction, but they will not be allowed to come here. Memphis C'nlbrenth Writes Bock that He is Not Dead. Edgefield Advertiser. Some ten days or two weeks before our primary election, the report was circulated, and It became general all over Edgefield county, that Senator W. J. Talbert had spirited away a citizen of the county, Memphis Culbreath, aDd had him killed: Culbreath was missing and his whereabouts unknown, which fact lent credence to the report, and this report no doubt lost Mr. Talbert the election, as lie was only defeated by 34 votes. Now for the sequel. On the 6th or 6th of September, Mr. James T. Bacon receives a letter from Culbreath himself, postmarked Richmond, Va., that refutes the malicious Blander, but everlastingly too late to do Mr. Talbert any good; he bad already been defeated. The following is the letter referred to, and what shall we say of the vile wretch or wretches who could concoct so cruel, so malicious and so damning a story of Culbreath's death: Richmond, Va., Sept. 4,1888. Mr. Editor: I have been reliably Informed that it Is currently reported in Edgefield county that Luther G. Bell carried mo off and killed me. In justice to Mr. Bell I do not believe he would harm a hair of my head. It is all a slander and a lie. Please correct this in your paper as a liar and slanderer. Yours respectfully, m. p. cclbbgatb. Nine I'AMefl at KfenUersonville. ^ Atlanta Ga., Sept. 14.?News has reachod ucic buud bucic u1u uiuc wioco m /viivn i^tvi In Hendereonville, N. C., besides two persons who are suspected of having the fever. Dr. Gulteras, who hod charge of the refugees passed through the city to-day and says that there has been no quarantine regulations adopted at Hendersonville and there Is absolutely nothing to prevent the refugees from leaving there at their pleasure, and it is exSected that they will scatter all over the State, ome of these were seen at Spartanburg this morning, so be says. ABRIDGED, BUT AFLOAT. The Chronicle Hatt h Clone Call? Drooping Wire*, and Drowned Fires in the Pres* Boom. Augusta Chronicle, Thursday, Sept. Yitfi. At 1 o'clock this morning the Associated Press wires ceased to work, and telegraphic outlets were under a pressure too heavy for further work. This shuts off Thk Chronicle's news this morning and reduces our Issue to four pages. The Chronicle this morning comes out under difficulties. It was Impossible for half of our composing room force to reach the office by flooa or ferry last night The quota was reduced to seven men. Inch by inch the water encroached upon the engine room until the engineer and pressmen stood kneedeep, and the flood trickled into the ash-pans. The reportorial force which announced the freshet yesterday in Thk Chronicle, had watched the river all night, and this morning they are relieved from duty after forty-eleht hours exhausting strain.

The Work of Repairing Will be Com* menced nt Once on a Lart;<> Scale, and in Thirty Drj;n Angnata Will he Ready for the Exposition and as Jannty as a New Craft. The overflowing waters have subsided and the Savannah river is fast getting back Into its accustomed cbanncl. The receding waters have left a coating of mud on streets and buildings, and exposed many ugly washouts in carriageways and pavements. There is an abundance of work for superintendent of streets and the work will be done promptly. Mayor May said to a Uhkonicle reporter yesterday: -a mousaaa nsnas win de put to work on the streets Immediately if that many can be Becured and worked to advantage. Not a moment will be lost and the work will begin to-morrow morning." "How about the river bridge?" "The bridge will be rebuilt at once, probably between the two railroad bridges. I think I can roplace it with a good Iron bridge, with stone plors. for 850,000." "And in the meantime?" "While the bridge is being built a ferry will be established, ana crossing will have to be made in boats." "How about the canal ?" "I have Just heard from the canal, through Superintendent Bennett. There aro Ave breaks in It, and be thinks it will take 5200,000 to put it back in good shape.' I think that it can be done for $150,000. when blows of this kind come we are always inclined to magnify the loss, and I think many will find the damage less than tney think." "What do you estimate the loss at?" "I think a million dollars will repair all damage to the canal, the streets, bridges and all individual loss in the city, and put Augusta in better condition than she was before." "What facilities have you for work on the streets ?" "The work will be under the supervision of the superintendent of streets and of the streets and drains committee. As I Bald above, they will employ a thousand hands if necessary, and will begin work at once. Judge Eve has ordered the county chain gang, and fifty convicts and ten mules and carts to assist in the work on the streets. The city chain gang will also be put on the streets. Men who are thrown out of work by the absence or water In the canals and the stopping of mills can sret work to do on the canal banks or In the streets of Augusta." A MEETING OF COUNCIL. "Will you wait for council to act In the matter?" "No; I shall order the work to proceed at once?to-morrow morning. We cannot wait for formalities In suah an emergency. However, a meeting of council has been called for to-morrow at 1 o'clock, when everything will be laid before the body. Counoll will then take steps to meet all the requirements of the occasion." THE HEALTH OK AUGUSTA. President Eugene PoBter of the board of health was seen, and says there is nothing to make people uneasy abont the health of the city. Those who are here are all right, and there is no reason why AuguBta people who are out of town should not at once return to look after their property. Two hundred hands will be set to work to-morrow morning, and the city will bej>ut In good condition as rapidly as possible. Every citizen should proceed at once to put bis premises in good sanllarv condition. Merchants on Broad street should not wait for the fire engines to get the water out oI their cellars, but should employ half a dozen men and set them to work at once balling out with buckets. They will be surprised to see how rapidly they can get rid ol the water in the cellars. A COMPLETE FRESHET. Angnsta Submerged from Limit to Limit?Every Street a Canal, and Every Store Drenched. Chronicle, Thursday, 13Ih. Yesterday morning; there were little signs of a flood alone middle and lower Broad. The sewers boiled with muddy water In a few places, but by noon it was plain that the business and residence portions of the town were to share in the Inundation. The current soon crept along our wide avenues, and at 6 o'clock Broad and Greene were in fine boating trim. There was one little island In Fountain squarre in which horses, vehicles and nre apparatus were huddled. At night the tide lapped over this holding, and when it crept through the iron railing of the Memorial monument the overflow was complete, and for first time since 1840 Augusta was entirely submerged. The river which had planted this alluvial foundation and stood sponsor for a growing town, had rebaptized her comely progency and held her one moment, trembling and quivering. It was an anti-Harrison freshot?a genuine Exposition boom. The store doors reluctantly gave way, and tho same tide which lashed through Diamond Row, swirled along the counters of Board street and licked the show windows. Tt.txrQC nr? trnnarflal on/1 Iralf A om I r* freshet. Last night was a dark and dismal vigil. The lamp posts were non-committal and the electric light plants were undtr stream. There was nothing to break the monotony but the rush of the current as it poured its swift torents through the streets and scurried to the swamps and commons, through the palings ana over the flower gardens. Since the flood of 1840 Augusta has not Been such a sight. The Chronicle published the record up to 3:30 a. m. Continuing the story, of the river's rise the record is as follows : 4 a. m. 32 feet 6 inches 5 " 33 " 3i4 " 6 " 34 " 7 " 34 " VA " 8 &5 " 9 " 35 " M " 10 " 35 VA " 11 ? 36 " 2 12 m. 36 " 5V% " 1 p.m. Sfl " 712 " 2 " 38 9V2 " 3 " 36 " Ilk " 4 " 37 " VA " 5 " 37 " 3 % " 6 " 37 " 5% " 7 " 37 " 7 " After this hour, there being no lights in the streets. the trips to the river bridge were , abandoned by tne Chronicle reporters, as the risk was greater than the importance of the exact record. The tide continued to rise, however, for the waters extended within the iron railway around the Broad street monument and lapped the edges of the granite base. About 11 o'clock the Chronicle watchman reported the waters to be at a standstill as nearly as he could Judge. The tide contin I ues ax. miunigni. 10 sweep turougn me streets, i and Id the darkness the noise is menacing and distressing. THE RIVER REACHES 39 FEET 1 INCH. The Flood Exceeds all Former Frei^> , eU in the History of Augusta. The worst is over. Yesterday was u memorable one In Augusta. Its history was written in water on the pavements and buildings of the city, but it will be i some time before the writting Is defaced or the story Is forgotton by those who read it as It was engraved. The record shows that the water reached the remarkable height of thirty-nine feet and one inch, or one foot and three Inches higher than the great Harrison freshet In 1840. The waters receded steadily all day yesterday, and this mornlg dry ground will not be scarce in Augusta. The most seriouB contingency which confronts the town and the people who are able to give aid, Is the fact that a thousand people are now in Augusta who have not tasted food in forty-eight hours. Many of them are on housetops and in second stories, huddled together in uncomfortable and crowded rooms. The falling waters have notrolieved thera, for the river is still thirty odd feet deep and they ; are still submurgod. They are in that section of theolty north of Broad and west ofMarbury 1 street?between Marburv street and Hawk's gully. These people must be helped, and it must be done at once.

It 1b the cause of humanity, and those who have seen tho waters recede from 1 their doors and leave them unharmed, must 1 not forget that hundreds of their fellow-towns- j men are In actual distress for food, Mayor May assured the Chronicle last night 1 the city would do everything possible this > morning, but no one who can aid in the work i should leave It for the municipal authorities : alone.

A REVIEW OF THB* SITUATION IN AND AROUND LOWNDESVILLE. Visitors Going and Coming?Bains? Crops ? Back From Tallapoosa Horse Thief Caught In Qeorgla-What a Negro Bought as a Face Protector. Lowndesville, 8. C., Sept. 10,1888. We have come very near having a wet spell. Cotton and corn are now both sprouting In the fields. In many places the crops are seriously damaged. I)r. J. T. Bnskin, of Monterey, visited his daughter, Mrs. W. G. Johnson, last Wednesday. Dr. J. B. Moseley and Mr. E. C. Mechine went to Abbeville last Wednesday on business. , We are sorry to say that Mrs. J. J. Kennedy bad a stroke of paralysis last Friday night. At this writing Is perhaps a little easier. j?ir. j. ii. uasKin is now convalescing rrom a sllcbt bilious attack. Miss Janle Cason, of Calhoun's Mills, after spending a short time at Mr. T. B. CUnkscales In the Fork returned home last Friday. Judge J. J. Moseley went to Abbeville last Friday, and had to "take roundance" because of some swollen streams. Messrs. T. J. Bowen and L. A. MorriB, of Honea Path, were here last Saturday on business. Mr. Nixson, representing W.N.Mercier, cotton factor, or Augusta, Ga., visited our town last Friday and Saturday. There Is now considerable demand in this township for red oats. Those having them for sale, would do well to advertise them. Prof. J. F. Harper was called, I reckon, down the railroad last Saturday. Rev. W. S. Martin went to Anderson Saturday evening and was to occupy the Methodist pulpit yesterday and last night, but doubtless was prevented by the rain. Mr. I. H. MoCalla attended the State Convention in Columbia last week, as a delegate, and returned home on Saturday. Mr. Munro Cook, of the Fork, was handling a gun last Friday, tbat be did not know was "cocked"?it "went off" and he 1b now nursing a foot with a bole through It. Many of the crops on Savannah river are again badly damaged, making the fourth year in succession tbat the planters on that stream have seriously suffered because of high water. There is now being some g[ood fat beef and ujuuuu jjui> upuu uur inaxKot, mo at lair prloes. Mr. E. W. Harper was off the railroad for several days last week. His brother. Mr. Clarence Harper, taking bis place as mall agent. Mr. J. M. and Master Ellis Huckabee spent a day and night in Due WeBt last week. The Savannah Valley Railroad authorities are now enlarging the platform at our depot, to doable its former size. Mr. J. M. Baker went to Augusta last Thursday to get the finishing adjuncts to the new brick stores now being built by Messrs. T. Baker <fe Bon. Mr. Dave Williams who went to Tallapoosa about twelve months ago, reached here last Thursday morning on his way to his home on Penny's creek, to stay awhile and perhaps longer, as be did not seem very "heavy" on a return to that eldorado?on paper. Messrs. D. B. Hadlyand son, of McCormick, has been here for sometime painting. The bad weather has interfered so much with their work that they returned home last Saturday to wait for better weather. Mr. E. H. Mathews has determined to supply a long felt want to this town and section, t. e. a millinery and fancy dry goods store. He proposes to put In charge of It a first-class milliner and dressmaker. The poet when speaking of the "dark and dreary days" must with prophetic eye have seen, and therefore alluaed to, those of the past two or three weeks. "M" of Mt. Carmel says a voter at that place did not vote for Col. w. C. McGowan because bis father was an advocate of secession. If any of us had ancestors who took part In our Revolutionary struggle we had better keep It to ourselves, if we ever expect to become a candidate, lest we might thereby lose a vote. Our third and last primary Is over, and the chickens, pies, cakes and other fowls can now have "a rest," what is left of them. I never att.onrio/1 on olonfinn of raMnh thow trou on much "plumping" as at the one Just over. A short time back a man riding a mule arrived at a swollen stream, being somewhat afraid of water he dismounted, pulled off his shoes and socks, and waded through to ascertain its depth. On bis return for hiB mole be lost his socks. Nothing daunted he mounted his mule and went on his way reioicing. This morning two weeks ago, Henry Dixon, colored, discovered that his horse had been stolen the night before. Suspecting the direction taken by the thief, be apd Mr. Simpson crossed over into Georgia. After passing Elberton, for the first time got on track of him. They went on beyond Washington and there they captured the thief and the horse. A few days ago a rather dudish looking colored baseballiBt was In town, In search of a face protector. One of our merchants seeing a fit subject for some fun, showed him a wire bustle- He tried it on hiB face, and although not a very good fit, he was well enough pleased with it to buy It. It was wrapped up, paid for, and out he went. He was then called back. Its real uses explained,?a big laugh all rntinrl. n*<*.pnt1nir h1m_ Hnd tan left nerhADS with a sort of notion that he did not know quite as much about "things" as he thought he did. TROUPE. LOWNDESVILLE'S LIFE AND LABOR. Tbe Storm.Toh?o?I Cotton, and the Flood>Drowned Corn?The Washed-A way Bridtcs, and the Damage to the Plantem. Lowkhesville. 8. C.. Sept. 15,1888. We have had two or three days of fair, hot weather thlH week. At this writing the sky Is hidden by flying clouds. An east wind and a mist strongly indicate more rain. Mr. R. A. McConnell spent a day or two at Anderson during the week. Mr. Ja8. M. Baker wns called to Anderson on business last Thursday. Miss Minnie Adams, of Augusta, Ga., is now on a visit of some length to her sister, Mrs. Jas. M. Baker. Mr. T. N. Baker started on his return to his Texas home last Tuesday week. Mrs. Minnie Lundy, after a two or three weeks sojourn among relatives here, returned to her home In Georgia this week. Judge Wm. Moore has been sufierlng considerably for past week or two with rheumatism of the shoulder. M1b4 Ittle Allen spent a part of last week at her brother's, Mr. P. B. Allen, at Starr. Messrs. Barnes and Tennant are now rapidly putting the timbers upon the ground for the building of their livery and feed stables. For the past week the schedule on our road has been badly disorganized, sometimes our train runs, and sometimes It does not. The wet spell caused such a complete stagnation In business, as well as social matters, that Items are exceedingly scarce. The destruction wrought by the freshe seems now to be claiming tbe attention of editors and correspondents, and Is also the general topic of conversation. No one as yet has written up the damages In our side of the county. I will, therefore, say a few words upon that distressing subject: i That part of Abbeville county bordering upon Savannah river has not perhaps suffered I os much as it did last year, the river not be- i ing so high. Rocky river was higher last j Monday than it has been for years. A very < large proportion of the corn planted upon It was late, (In roastlnpear stage) tbereforo ruin ea. xou can now kuuw nuou un?nub com, before reaching It, as you can smell It a considerable distance. Many of the planters having early planted corn, can save a great deal or It by shucking on the stalk, as many . are doing. This year lias given another 3trong plea for early planting. That corn from wliich the fodder had been pulled, though damaged, was not so much so as that . with the fodder still on the stalk. A large proportion of tho open cotton has rotted, it , will be only the middle crop that will be worth anything, if that is. Tho late orop is i ill gone. As to bridges: Nearly every one of 1 them Is either gone or very badly damaged. Young's and Milford's are gone. Burdett's bardly in a repairable condition. Swearlnrln's can be repaired without much outlay. Bridge near hero has already been put in a J jrossable condition by Mr. J. B. Franks, It is t ibout in as good condition now as bofore the i (lood. For several days, from last Monday, ( tve wore cut oft' Indeed. Train went down on Monday, but did not return until Wednesday ivenlng, and tho telegraph line being down, ve could hear nothing of it Having had daiy communication by railroad and telegraph "or several years, wo keenly folt the denrivaion. Although much saddened by our losses . ve are "still hopeful." Some of us have lost 1 >ur every ear of corn and a large proportion ?f our cotton. We ought not to complain, but I t is very hard sometimes for us not to do so, vben our eight months work, together with j >ur chances for another year's supplies aredetroyed. hut lie who knows best, will assured- , y provide.
