"What can tho Red Crops dot" remarked Mr. Kaufman, "unless money is sent us to save these lives. The rcoent flood horrors in China, in kind, if not in degree, are being revived near out own dors." The account read thus. Lykcsland, 8. C., August 31, 1008. Mr. A. C'. Kaufman, President South Carolina Ked ( ross, Charles ton, S. C. l)ear Sir: I want to call your at tention to the condition (if about forty families of colored people that I know personally in thin county. These people live in the Congaree Valley that has just been swept by the most disastrous flood ever known by the oldest inhabitants, and bus destroyed everything but the cabins; not one of them has 0 hog, a chicken or cow left. All of their bedding and furniture was destroyed, and they had to take to boats for their lives. They have absolutely nothing left, and will suffer if they do not get help. None of them have even corn flieal. These conditions I know of person ally, as I took a boat and went down Lin that .country during Lhe worst o i tho high water, and have "seen and talked to them since the waters have receded. They will be glad to ?et anything, bed mattresses, quilts, blankets, old clothes, meal, bacon, A few dollars to each family would tide them over for a while. Any thing you might send them, 1 will see to its proper distribution. My freight depot is Lykcs, and postoffice Lykcsland, on tho Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. fcYs to reliabil ity arid responsibility, 1 refer you to the editor of the State. Columbia, oj the President of the Palmetto Bank. I am writing you this because 1 personally know all of these colored people, and realize their pitiful con dition. The white families in the same sec tion, of course, lost heavily also, I haye no interest in these overflowed laijds, and have not lost a dollar. I an* the freight agent at this place. Yours very truly, W. Lykcs. " Mr. Kaufman added: Th ^magnitude of the suffering oc. casioned from theBO floods is not fully realized. In Augusta, Ga., 10, 000 people are said to be in extrem ity. Great destitution prevails in many other sections of our State be sides that above noted. Contributions, largo or small, arc urgently solicited. They will be gratefully received by Treasurer John B. Reeves or President A. C. Kaufman, South Carolina Branch Red Cross, or at Tho News and Cou- i rier office. Official South Carolina Weather Re port. The weather for the week ending August 31, was particularly note worthy on account of the unusually low August temperature during the latter portion, and the excessive rain fall in the western portion that caus ed unprecedented floods. The precipitation waft excessive ih the western portion and generally' above normal in the central portion, and normal, or above, in tho eastern portion, A number of places in the. Western counties reported weekly amounts in excess of ten inches, with a maximum of 13.12 inches at Green yille, (Owing to interrupted mail and telegraph service, reports wcTe not received from many stations in tho western division.) The heavy rainfall early in tba week closely foV lowing eiceisive precipitation near th? close of the previous week, caus ed destructive floods in all tha streams in the weatern half of the State, Previous records of high water were exceeded by from one and a half feet to six feet, or more. By the close of the week the flood stages had reached the lower courses of the rivers, exceeding previous high wa ter records by from one foot to four feet. The damage caused by the yheavy rains and the floods was wide spread, including tho practical de struction of all bottom land crofrs and damage to uplands by erosion. State Weather Bureau Director Bauer has received a few answers to inquiries pent out by him, but ?*iot enough so far to make up a general estimate,. He does not hope to be able to formulate a general report under perhaps two weeks. Reports that have come in so far indicate that Spartanburg county's damage orer $75,000. ? Mail Reaches Du?
