Groonville, Jnne 23.-It is learned hero on unquestioned authority that the Southern Railway, the Blue Ridge Rail road and tho Anderson Light and Wator Company, whioh would suffer tremen dous damago in the evont of any serious break in the Toxaway dam, will sond engineers to the Sapphire oountry to make aoareful examination of tho struct ure. So many oontlioting reports, havo been received in Greenville about tho dam that it is impossible to form any adequato idea as to its strength and hold ing power* without an investigation by expert it. It is for this reason, thoreforo, that tho companies whoso proporty would be at the morey of tho floods, aro determined to seoure an official report on tho subject. Off-hand opinion b.v men not capable of giving tho views of an expert, will not bo sufficient. The Toxaway dam is 27 miles in cir cumference. In many places tho water is fifty foot deep. Should this mighty volume ever escape, there would bo another Johnstown horror. It would crush tho Seneoa rivor trestles on the Southeru and Blue Ridge iuto kindling wood, and it would Bwoop away tho dam at Portman Shoals. Says Toxaway is Sound. ^...Pickers, Juno 22.-Douglas Jenkins has returned from Sapphiro. Mr. Jon kins is of tho opinion that there need be no foars whatever of the Toxaway dam bursting. No oxponse has beou spat cd by tho owuorB to make tho dam abso lutely safo. It involved an oxpendituro of $38,000. It is constructed of hugo blocks of stone with layers of lino gravel and cement, and is BO shaped in its structure that tho pressure of tho wator is not so much directly against the dam, but lateral and downward. During tho recent floods tho water roso hardly six inehes. Thoro is a spillway constructed twice tho width of tho river bed to con voy off the surplus wator in case of Hood. Tim spillway is carofully lined with rock so that no danger could ariso during au ovoillow. The water could havo risen eight foet higher than it did in tho re cent flood without endangering tho structure. Tho spillway, however, would have been utilized long before tho water could havo risen to that height. Tho lako is sixteen miles in circumference, varying in depth from a few feet to about 50 foot. His Last Hope Realized. [From Tho Sontinol, Gobo, Mont.] In tho first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1880, tho oditor of tins paper was among tho mauy Bookers after for tuno who mado tho big race ono fine day in April. During his traveling about j and afterwards camping upon bis claim, ho oncountered much bad wator, which, together with tho severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to ohock, and along in Juno tho caso became so bad ho expected to die. Ouo day ono of bis neighbors brought him ono small bottlo of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy ns a last hope. A big dose wits given him while bo was rolling about on tho ground in great agony, and in a few minutos tho doso was repeated. Tho good effect of the medicino was soon noticed and within an hour tho patient was taking his first sound .sleep for a fortnight. That ono little bottlo worked n completo euro, and be cannot help but feel grateful. Tho season for bowel dis orders being at band suggosts this item. For salo by J. W. Bell, -druggist, Wal halla; W.

Repub lican says that fow realizo what the loss means. For instance, it is estimated that tho value of the bay and forage, cereals nod vegetables raised in Now Eng land States during tho year 1800 amounted to $130,000,000. Tho Republican says | that the value of tbeso products for this yoar will not roach moro than one-half that amount. Tho live stock and dairy industry is a vory important ono in the Jjqw EngJ[a]>4--r^fttP8- In 1800_tlifl value of these industries-was placed at $75, 000,000. The Republican says: "Farmers in northern New England nie already be ginning to sacrifico livo stock becauso of j present lack of pasturage and in antici pation of a sorious scarcity of winter feed. Hay is rising to unprecedentedly high prices in Vermont and olsowhoro. There seems to bo no possibility of es caping comparative scarcity and vory high pricoB for food of all kinds, which in turn will affect tho prices of dairy produc?s, increasing the cost of living in tho cities and reducing tho consumption of manufactured products among tho farmers." The Republican says alBO j that "what is truo of Now England Is equally truo of all eastern Now York State and Now Jersey, whore farmers | aro selling off theil livo stock and pro paring for a season of great scarcity." Too Much Rain Now. Dover, N. IL, Juno 22.-Tho steady downpour of rain during tho last 30 hours is almost unprecedented at this time of the year. Rivers and other streams aro already swollen to nearly high wator mark and thoro is danger of sorious damage. Telegraph and tolo 1 phono servico is seriously crippled in almost overy direction and a number of bad washouts along tho railways aro repotted. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Is every whore recognized as tho ono remedy that can always bo depended upon and that is pleasant to tako. It ospooially valuable for summer diarrhoea in childi i n and is undoubtedly tho moaiiB of saving tho lives of a great many chil dren each year. For salo by J. W. Boll, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca. The Oregon Washout. One of tho persons who escaped from the flood that dostroyed tho town of I ! c i .puer. Oregon, on Juno 14, togothor with not less than 500 pooplo, tolls the story as follows: "Tho rain was not fall ing in Heppnor, but could bo soon somo distance away. Sharp flashes of light ning were accompanied by tho howling thunder. Then suddenly tho thunder died away ard a low noise was board, very faint at first, but growing louder. Tho oity is sitnated on Willow Crook, which makes a sharp turn nhnvo tho city. As the noiso grow louder and louder the people becamo frantic. Then in a moment tho van of tho Hood burst into view around tho curvo of tho crook, carrying on its croat tho cabins and holli er, which stood ?nils path. Thc peo ple made a rush to tho hills, but woro too late. Tho Hood was on thom. The little rivor in flvo minutos was tratiR forred into a torront 400 foot wido and 20 feet deon. Houses woro lifted from tboir foundations and oarried on the swirling watei c.. Pooplo wero carried in their homos and forood to crawl out on tho roof.
