A Lenoir special of September 26 says: The two railroads of the county seem to have suffered very heavily by the flood of Thursday last, the greatest damage on the Carolina & Northwestern being just below the Catawba river bridge, where five trestles were more or less damaged, and the track washed out for a considerable distance. The two largest trestles floated off and some of the bents were rescued from the swift current some distance below where they stood. The track for 150 yards at one place was found completely overturned, the rails being under the ties. Notwithstanding so great damage to roadbed and trestles, trains passed over the road to Lenoir on Saturday night, 48 hours after the flood. The officials of the road highly commend Mr. Cauble and his bridge and trestle force for their most efficient, well-managed and rapid work. To Be Extended to Sumter.

The fire department turned out promptly, however, upon the sounding of the alarm, and with the assistance of the town people, who hurried to the mill as rapidly as possible, in about an hour the flames were under control. The loss does not exceed $5,000. The mill will resume operations next Monday. WAIFS FROM WARREN. Cotton Picking Well Under Way?Much Rotten Corn?Personal and Other Notes. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Warren, September 29.?We are quite busy now picking cotton and housing forage.

The corn crop in this section is good, although there is a great deal of rotten corn in the fields, caused it is supposed by the continued wet weather. Mrs. J. N.

The Fate of the Reconcentra DOS.?Among the passengers who ar- J rived in New York, Wednesday, on the steamer City of Washington from Havana, were Dr. Jose Cougosto and Captain Fred Sharp, of the Merritt- j Chapman Wreckiug company. The City of Washington brought 41 cabin passengers and a small cargo composed chiefly of cigars and tobacco. In an interview Congosto said : "The evacuation of Cuba is a matter of time; but when I left Havana everything was progressing well. One of the causes of delay is the fact that we have 0,000 sick who must be taken care of. I believe the future of the island is a social problem and not a j political one. It is probable there will be a large emigration to the island and this emigration may assist in solving the problem. There is a great difficulty to be met in view of the dangers from fever and climate." Congosto was asked about the couditiou of the reconcentrados. "There are no reconcentrados now," he answered with a smile. ' "What has become of them?" was the next question. "They're gone." "Where?" "God knows," was his reply. ^ "Do you mean to say they are all dead ?" "That probably explains it better i 1-V.an T mm T> ic o ciihiti/if whi^h T prefer not to discuss." t AT THE CHURCHES. baptist.
