C., Auy. 16.?High datura iu western Carolina Jireams ^ere tonight menacing lives and properly for the second time within d week as the result of torrential rainfall oyer Lhe auction. Early reports from towns tn both North and South Carolina indicated that already considerable damage had been dono tailways and crops und that all streams ure rising rapidly I he city of Asheville, N. C., has notified people living below the huge Hoe 1 ree dam to vacate their property and officers are assisting those dwelling 011 the river bank to gel away. A number of fumilies have refused l^o move although water is said to be lapping within a few feet of their doorways. Patrols have been placed on all highways wurning motorists. Twenty refugees had sought shelter at the Sulvution Army citadel early tonight and cots were being placed in the Asheville municipal auditorium to accommodate the other hundreds expected before morn, ing. An unestimated number of families lire reported to have ulready been j rendered homeless. Families were also moving out of the South Pacolet river valley above Tryon, N. C. The dams of the Clifton Textile Mill No. 2 on the Pacolet river collapsed early tonight and water was reported to be sweeping over the second door ! of the plant. Several important bridges in the vicinity were reported washed away. Water was said to be five feet over the Southern Power dam at Ninety-Nine Islands, S. C? on the Broad river jn Cherokee county. Late reports from Newberry, S. C , showed that more than a score of houses had been destroyed or badly damaged and crops torn and flooded by the wind und rain storm that struck that section this morning. No one was killed or hurt, as far as could be learned. Like damage was done at Charleston, S. C., during the morning. Telephone and telegraph lines into sections of upper South Carolina west of Spartanburg were down and reports were meager. Two textile mills near the city of Spartanburg, the Beaumont and Arkwright, were reported partially under water with , streams coursing through the villages sweeping over their banks into the streets. The Middle Tyger river was reported out of its bed near Lyman. Spurtantourg county and residents of the community were ;moving out of their homes for higher ground. Two houses had been wash- > ;ed away. A lanoslide near Asheville blocked all Southern railway traffic between that point and Spartanburg and Salisbury, N. C., early tonight. Hope was held by railway officials that the tracks could be cleared by early tomorrow if more slides did not follow excavation. One passenger train was reported stranded near Campobello, S. C., while two buses filled with passengers are said to be blocked in the vicinity of Bat Cave, N. C. Numerous highways in both Carolinas are reported damaged already and are closed to all traffic. With rivers already at their highest of the flood levels since 1916, the French Broad, Swannanoa and others of western North Carolina are re- , ported rising at the rate of a foot an hour. Some anxiety was felt tonight for the safety of Montreat and Lake Lure resorts unconfirmed reports indicating that flood waters were rushing down the mountain sides in both Communities with considerable resulting damage arid' endangering lives. Both are shut off from communication. * The chief concern felt in the middle South Carolina belt now is th^ result of heavy rains will have on Broad nnd Saluda rivers. . - . Our Rollers Melted Last Thursday afternoon during the extreme heat several of the large rollers on our newspaper press melted and caused us quite a delay and a considerable loss. Luckily for us we had just about completed the run and our subscribers were not inconvenienced^ New rollers have been ordered but in the meantime we saved enough out of the wreck to print the present edition on. Newspaper men and printers who have ever had this experience know full well what- a mess it causes in a print shop. ? ? in i? in ii . i i i + Had to (Fight Some One ^ "XVe .come to kill a printer," said the little man. "Any printer in particular," asked the foreman. "Oh, anyone will do, I would prefer -a small one, but I've got to make sonfe sort of a show at n fight, or leave home, since the paper called my wife's tea party a "Swill Affair." Agent Gives Timely Advice When farmer* ftrt? p^BUH<u.d to feed hogs, and thereby market corn *t u good price, everything goes well, ?*? l<??g as unusual prices can be ob tuined fur thin corn, but the very minute the price of hogs drops to the Place where very little above the com. men ial value of the corn is realized, farmers are ready to discount the a" *nd discontinue the project, even to the extent of selling their breeding stock. VNhen hogs reach the place whero prices arc unusually attractive farmers do not have hogs or feed, because they have devoted their energies in growing cotton, tobacco and truck crops, 1 Wtts Particularly interested in attending the opening of a recent tobacco market, where unusually low prices were being paid, and heard a farmer eay "Well. 1 going to quit. I wont get back enough money to pay the fertilizer bill." No, he will not quit growing tobacco, though he would quit producing live stock and feed under the sume conditions. Our South ( arolina farmers will some time learn that the principles and practices recommended in connection with the operation of the Atlantic Coast Line-Clemaon College Extension Service Live Stock Development Special must be put into effect before we can have u satisfactory farm program. We have in the past been abusing the two wonderful crops?cotton and tobacco?in not hedging by the use of half our cultivated areas in corn and other feed crops and sending same to market through the live stock route. One farmer remarked on the auction floor of a recent day's sale of tdbacco that his wife believed in cows, hogs and poultry and received during one month this spring $14.00 a day for thr?e days in the week, or almost $200.00 a month, from cream, poultry and eggs. He admitted that his wife had saved the day and is the better manager of the two. The Carolinas occupy an excellent position geographically and otherwise, in producing more live stook products. Large quantities are shipped in for consumption and there is also a ready outlet to eastern cities for any surplus. Several hundred cars of poultry and hogs have been shipped out of the 4 Carolinas this year. At the present price of hogs our farmers could be intelligent feeding to good hogs and properly marketing them receive $1.75 per bushel for their corn. The prospects are good for a fair crop of feed. The June I'ig Survey reveals a decrease of 7.7 per cent, in the spring pig crop. farmers should save their pigs and do some intelligent feeding another year. Conditions on the farm should improve as tlhe years go by, but the improvement will come to those who vary their program to include milk cows, fepd some hogs and build up good flocks of poultry?doing this according to the best methods and practices recommended by the Agricultural Extension Service.
