Better attend to this matter at once if you have not already done so. fWe judge from the editorials in The State and the Record that these two big dailies are getting uneasy ?for their candidate for governor. Well, really there is some occasion to (be alarmed. ' It is no easy road the governor is traveling. He needs to ihave a few of the rough places taken out Just how much these editorial utterances are helping him we are not prepared to say.' This is a time when the officials and <iie citizens generally should cooperate in cleaning up the town. (After the continuous rains there are many places in the yards and in the streets and in the alleys that should have attention. Aim the health of the town is at stake. This^ matter should i . not he delayed. A little precaution and preventive may prove a blessing. The authorities should take the lead : 11 and we believe they will have the hearty cooperation of the people gen erally. Do it now. A systematic cleaning up of tiie town is what is needed just now for the health of the community. There is no greater asset than a citizen'r ' ship of good strong and healthy men and women. A gentleman said to us ; only the other day, if a man had a >* million dollars in one of the banks and no health or some disease that he knew was gradualy hut surely eating 57 out !his life and unless checked the end was very near, he would give !' that entire million for a healthy body and a good digestion.

Manning had a colloquy at the Barnwell meeting with Dr. Patterson about the asylum. The crowd applauded. Therefore Wanning had the CT(^wd and will carry Barnwell. Fine logic. The governor is not making a football of politics out of the asylum. That would be wrong, entirely wrong. There does not seem to be entire harmony and good will existing among the governor and the adjutant r- _ . ... general and the assistant adjutant general. In fact the assistant has resigned and there has been som correspondence betwen the governor and j the adjutant general which is said to : he interesting. Brethren should j dwell together in unity. Wiiat a great time this would he to drag the roads. 'Pity the people will be too busy to give just a little time to this very important matter. Even a little of it would do good. V ? We notice that the governor is urging that the boys of the National Guard now at Styx be sent to the bor der. If there is no use for them T-*e can see no good reason in sending them.

A - - ? ? O I which attacks the root of the cotton i and if the attack be severe causes the cotton to wilt and die. In many instances where the attack is not si severe the stalk survives, but it is so weakened by the disease that It is not able to produce a normal crop. I saw some fields last year in which at least 20 per cent of the stalks died and the damage to the crop ir? the infested fields was something like . 50 per cent. The loss to cotton growers from < this disease is enormous. A fewyears ago the loss in Georgia was estimated to be one milion dollars. This has been reduced by improvei methods and improved seed to about one half million. The loss in South Carolina is probably nearly as great. Much work ia being done by tlie State Entomologists of the different states investigating this disease and in experiments looking to its control. These experiments have proven that to control the ' disease it is necessary first to rotate crops. The infected fields should be planted to corn, wheat, rye, oats, velvet beans, peanuts or Iron ana Brabham cowpeas. These crops will not suDDort the wilt fundus, nor in crease the number of Nematode worms, which cause the wilt to be more destructive. After planting in some of these crops for a few years it will then be reasonably safe to plant in cotton again provided a good wilt resistant strain of cotton be planted. There are a number wilt resistant; strains of cotton, which have been bred up by the experiment stations. These strains when planted after a good rotation as mentioned above, I are giving very satisfactory results, i This article is rmblished with th.-* ' hope that farmers in the county who! ! have fields infested with wilt may be ! benefitted, and if any one need fur| ther information, please let me ; know and I shall be glad to advise ; with them, the best methods for its j control.

MAM KOADS USE COLUMBIA BOUTE Spartanburg and Charlotte Lines Out 01 (Commission?Catawba Bridge does Down. The State. With, the passage south of the New York-New Orleans limited of the Southern railway and the passage north of the Seaboard Air Line's own fast train leaving here about 7 o'clock the Seaboard Air Line closed its trestle over the Wateree at Camden until further notice. Early this morning the Jacksonville-New York train of tne SeaDoard nortnooumi was parked in Columbia and the opposite train southbound was parked at Camden. This caused the Southern railway to change the routing of its detoured main line trains, and today they passed Columbia using Atlantic Coast Line tracks instead of the Seaboard Air Line tracks, as yesterday. Columbia was the most important raProad gateway between the iXorth and the South in the South ^Atlantic states yesieraay. Jti<very iram lruiu New York to Atlanta or Jacksonville passed through South Carolina's capital city, except those on the Atlantic Coast Line. The washing away of the Southern railway's trestle over the Catawba river between Rock Hill and Charlotte further complicated the situation, and caused a change of detour routing of trains. The previous pro gramme was to send tne mam line trains to Rock Hill, then over the Southern's branch (the old Three C's; to Blacksburg, where the main line wras again caught. But when the trestle fell at Catawba trains werts detoured by the Seaboard to Monroe, N. C, thence to Hamlet and to Columbia, by the Seaboard Air Line, switching to the Southern tracks here and proceeding to Augusta, where the Georgia railroad is used into Atlanta. When the Seaboard trestle was no longer avanauie, me rouie was cnanged to the Atlantic Coast Line from Winston-Salem, N. C., to Columbia via Florence, and then by Augusta to Atlanta. Seaboard Trains. The Seaboard Air Line trains betwen 'Portsmouth and Atlanta ana Birmingham were changed Sunday to the Columbia route, coming by the Seaboard from Hamlet to Columbia where the Columbia, Newberry & Laurens tracks are used to Clinton there again taking their original route.

There was no chance to operate between Columbia and Spartanburg yesterday. Whether a local service is being maintained between Union and Spartanburg is not known, as the Southern's wire communication was out. The Union & Glenn Springs railroad which runs from Union to Pride, where it connects with the Seaboard j Air Line, was badly damaged by th3 J waters around Meal's shoals. Four J milp<3 nf tr&ok are waterbound. and ! 2,000 feet of trestle gone. Trestle (iuarded The Seaboard >Air Line railway offices in Columbia said yesterday that the trestle over the 'Wateree at Camden was being carefully guarded. Yesterday alternoon several irams were held up, and not allowed to pass until an inspection was made. The trains passed over safely. The same high waters that knocked down the trestle over the Catawba for the Southern railway must pass under the Wateree trestle at Camden, and these high waters are feared and last night passage over the trestle was discontinued. Various reports reached Columbia yesterday of the trestles at Alston and Shelton of the Southern railway over the Broad river, but these reports were vague and indefinite and could not be established. It is said that the water is so high at Alston that from a distance it can not b? seen whether the trestle is down or merely covered. i FLOOD'S DEATH LIST APPROACHES THIRTY Bat Cave Reports*Loss of Ten Lives? Earlier Estimates of Property Damage May Be Increased, One Putting it at $12,000,009. Asheville, July 18.?The death list from the floods in several Southeastern States is growing rapidly as news comes in from isolated districts. Nineteen additional drownings reportj ed today brought the known deaths to 34 and dispatches that the town ol Chimney Rock, in Rutherford county, X. C., has been literally washed away, has led to the belief that the casualty list will be much greater. First word reaching the ouside i world from the Hickory-Lenoir-MorI ganton region of North Carolina, j brought the news that $4,000,000 dam! age had been done in that section by j the overflow of the Catawba river, j Two lives were lost. j Eight additional deaths are reportj ed from Bat Cave, a village in Hender ! son countv on the Rockv-Broad river, i North Carolina: two from /Volga, small town in Buncombe county; four from Brevard and three from the i Hickory Nut Gap section. In addition I unverified reports say three lives were lost below Marshall, N. C., in the overturning of a boat. The report received here early this evening that eight people lost their i lives in the Bat Cave section of the State last Sunday, when tne KocKy Broad river rose from 15 to 20 feet above its banks, seemed to be confirm"CORNS ALL GONE!

He was unable to give the names of the < others. Fair View is 22 miles from i Bat Cave. Patrick said that the i conditions at Bat Cave are really deplorable. more than half of the houses of the village having been washed away. He says that people who have | money to buy provisions have no way of getting them, tfle highways on both sides of Bat Cave having been washed away in several sections. It is feared that the Bat Cave section will reveal a heavy loss of life when full communication has been established. Later reports from the Bat Cavt. section, which includes the village ol Chimney Rock, two miles from Bat Cave, state that every effort is being made to reach the flood sufferers there with food supplies. Two car loads of provisions were sent ovei from Hendersonville this afternoon, being transferred from wagon to wagon across bridgeless streams. The report from Spartanburg that the $25,000 scenic highway recently constructed to the foot of Chimney Rock was destroyed by the flood is confirmed by a dispatch from Hendersonville tonight. It is also stated that two laborers lost their lives in a land slide on the highway, hut these death3 | are probably included in the Bet Cave . list of casualties. The additional deaths reported today include Mrs. John Heath and son, John Heath, Jr., Brevard; Mrs. CaldWell Sentelle and child, Brevard; Mrs. Edgar Hunt and two small chil I "I Can Coo on my New Perfect a gas stove and cost!
