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.

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.

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.
Mrs. Seajey Entertained
Mrs. Lucille Sealey entertained at
