DOG SAVES MASTER t York Man Lies Helpless Under The Charge of Infuriated'Bovine York, July 18.?The lieroism of a collie dog which risked death for its master, Thursday saved the life of George Wallace, 73, prominent planter of Beth Shiloh section. Mr. Wallace had gone to the pasture to drive up the cows when he was suddenly attacked by a bull that "had not before manifested ferocious proclivities. The infuriated animal charged him and knocked him down, continuing the attack as he lay helpless on the ground. At this juncture, when death for the prostrate man was imminent, his two-year-old collie came to tohe rescue. Leaping at the bull and with its sharp teeth securing a firm grip on the bovine's vulnerable spot the nose, the collie held on like grim death. Even after Mr. Wallace had escaped to a place of safety the determined dog held on and finally had to be prized loose from its huge antagonist.

Answeres Found on Opposite Page VKRY HKAVY RAINFALL C ity V\ ?h I'ut Intu Darkness Front Storm on Wednesday Afternoon ( aimU'ii and vicinity has been experiencing some excessive rains within the puat few days. Tuesday a/turnoon aaound eight o'clock there was unusually heavy downpour, accompanied by one of the most vivid electrical displays seen here in a long while. The lightning flashed incessantly fo? around one hour. One of the first heavy strokes knocked oyt the electric current and the city was in darkness for around fifty minutes. Around four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon another downpour heavier than that of the preceding evening took place. Ocicial Weatherman Arthur Brown tells us that a two-inch rain fell in a period of about twenty minutes. - Tl^e rainfall seemed heavier north of town than that which fell in Camden. We were told thnt on several places oil the hlghwayj around Cool Springs that the water rfin over the roadway several inches deep. At many of the street intersections the culverts could not carry away the water fast enough and the roads were covered for several Inches. It was particularly heavy on north Broad Street. Several tre^s and electric light poles were blown down and the curreAt was off for several hours extending into the night. We Jiave been unable to learn of any serious damage to man or beast but the crops must have undoubtedly suffered from the rain atvd wind. High waters endangered fpr a time both dams at Wateree and Hermitage Mill ponds, but it was released in time to save them. The water yesterday morning was running over the old roadway leading from the Hermitage Mill to the main Bishopvllle highway. It was also running over the roadway on the old road leading to the Wateree Mill village, but no damage was done to the dams. ThCv heavy downpour Wednesday evening about 'nine o'clock caused the first dam at Crescent Lake Club, i few miles norbh of Camden to blow -Out and in a short while it was followed by the second dam, and today there is nothing remaining but a small stream passing through a narrow channel. Trees below the dam were uprooted for quite a distance. The impended water went into the Watecee pond, making it rise rapidly. The Crescent Lake had been stocked with all kinds of game fish, which went out with the water, causing m^ny of the smaller fish to die in the places left high and dry. The blowing oat of this dam causes quite a heavy loss to the proprietors of this property. It had only quite recently been opened to swimming parties. Another heavy rain fell again Thursday afternoon shortly after midday, and on Thursday evening of last week there was a heavy rainfall, accompanied by sharp electric flashes. One of the bolts struck the chimney to the house of Mrs. Beulah Barfield on Highland avenue and badly damaged the chimney. None of the occupants; were hurt except from shock. ^ Telephone, telegraph and electric light linemen have had a busy time ' during the past week repairing the ' damage done to their lines. The ! Southern Bell had around one hundred and fifty phones put out of commis' fcion by the storm Wednesday after1 noon after they had just gotten theii lines straightened out from the prev* ious storms. 1 mJmmmmmrn ' FLOOD AREA BARKEN I ? Hoover Finds 1.300.000 Acre* With No Oops Thin Year Washington.?* On the 3.500,000 acres of farm land inundated by the Mississippi flood, 1,300,000 acres probably cannot be used this year for crop production Secretary Hoover estimated recently on his return from the flood area. He said this *1,300,000 acreage pre- \ seats the most serious problem for the Red Cross and to other relief agencies j as the population would have to be j fed apd clothed for many months. | "The drowned land," he continu-1 ed, "is located in twenty counties?-j Four In Mississippi, seven in Lousi-' ana, six in*Arkansus and one each in Missouri, Illinois ajid Kentucky. On I our present calculations the Red Cross has funds enough to carry these people through to Nor. 1, with a $3,000,000 reserve on that date." By that time, he added, it should he possible to determine the total damage and the rehabilitation needs. About 10,000 houses are being repaired and reconstructed out of Red Cross funds, and in addition to the $10,000,000 provided by Red Cross donations, about $7,000,000 in the Federal relief service and $8,000,000 in fiee railroad transportation has been used in relief operation. Mr. Hoover will leave Washington this month for a short visit to the Black Hills at the invitation of PresL' dent Coolidge. He will then go to California for a month's vacation.
