Not within the memory -of the oldest inhabitants of Edgefield, has a heavier rain fallen in this vicinity than that which fell dur ing Wednesday night of last week. The streets, roads and fields have bsen!waehed into great, gullies where they never washed-?before. The la^ge bridge on.-Jeter street' across*" Beaverdam.- .' was. carried, down stream a considerable "dis tance'. The most -signal, damage, however, of which'we , have '.heard was doue at the quarry. There waB evidently a cloud, burst in that vicinity. The entire plant was almost destroyed. An eighty horBe .eugine "and boiler were washed a considerable distance and great damage was done to the crushing macbiuery and building. The two large holes, one of which was a quarter of a unie in length, about seventy-five feet deep and several hundred yards wide, were filled to overflowing. So great is the volume of w?ter in them that Mr. Thomas, the efficient manager, says that it will take more than a month to pump it out with two 12 inch centrifugal pumps. The quarry will probably not be in full operation again for two months, which will not only entail con siderable loss on Mr. Roes, the owner, bu.t on our town also.
