Marooned In office buildiaga in the center of the town, hundred* of per son* were vainly awaiting rescue. Streets heretofore considered miles from the danger line are running eight feet of water, the torrential force of which precludes rescue in boats. Millions of dollars in property dam age has already been incurred and the flood is still on the increase. From Indianapolis came reports of 100,000 homeless throughout Indi ana and a property loss reaching the enormous figure of $20,000,000 in cities, towns and villages alone. This does not include the losses to farm ers. The loss of life, while not so great as in Ohio, has not yet been estimated. The climax of the flood In Ohio was reached at Dayton, where it was re ported that the water iris from twen ty to forty feet deep in many streets; that bodies were floating past the win dow* of office buildings, and that the catastrophe assumed the propor tions of a tidal wpve. Conditions at Indianapolis. Fort Wayne, Kokomo and other places In central Indiana were the worst in many years. From every part of tha state there were reported disastrous inundations. At Lafayette two spans oT a bridge went out. Two are reported dead. West Lafayette, where Purdue uni versity is located, was cut off when the levees were broken by the wa ters of the Wabash river. The river la 2 miles wide and rising rapid- _ At Indianapolis 1,5000 families had been driven from their homes aad four deaths were said to have resulted from drowning. The pump ing plant was forced to suspend ope rations aad the city is without Are protection. At Peru property damage of half a million was done by the flood, it was reported. Legansport also was under water. Governor Ralston received a frantic appeal froqa Connersville, Ind., for aid for many sufferers from the flood. It was said White river had broken over its banks and great lose of life had ensued. Cincinnati experienced a cloud burst, which started the Ohio river rising rapidly and flooded many of the streets. A big dam a short distance north of Akron, Ohio, burst and horsemen were sent throughout the valley to warn the populace of the impending danger. Hundreds fled to higher ground. The big bridge over the Miami river at Middletown. Ohio, went out Fifteen persons were reported miss- tag. Several houses were seen float ing down the river. Sweeping up the Ohio valley from the west the third storm in ten days devastated different sections between Louisville and Cincinnati, in Ken tucky, southwestern Ohio and In diana. At Loisvllie the w ud main tained a velocity of sixty miles an hour. f | Investigations y*-t lend to confirm the estimates of fewer than 500 deaths in the flood* in Ohio and In diana last week. As the waters receded from Day- ton. Columbia and other tilaces. leav ing a thick coating of mud. alarm was caused by a rapid rise of the Ohio and the Micsissippi rivers, in undating parts of cit es along their banks. There is not much danger of loss of life in jtheae places, however, ns the inhabitants have hills to flee to and are uaed to floods. Revised reports indicate that the number drowned in Dayton may not exceed IBS. although there are those who any the number will be much greater. The death Hat at Plqua. Ohio, fell off from the estimate ef BO to IX known dead. The latest estimates show the fol lowing deaths in Ohio and Indiana: Ohio. Ohio—Total Para ,.. **, .......... Brooklville Fort Wayne ..

A. M. Howell to Pleat Several Acre** In *be Weed Near WaHertmro. A. M. Howell, formerly of this county, but late of Australia, has re turned to Colleton. ' Mr Howell to the brother of John J. Howell of 8t. George end the late Maj M. P. How ell, and has many friends aad rela tives In this county. W^ naked Mr. Howell to write ua an article on the subject of tobacco growing, which be did, the same appearing in last we^h'a issue. Mr Howell was for 22 years a newspaper man .in Greenville. At one time he was Editor of The Cot ton Plant, the official organ of the Farmers’ Alliance. Mr Howell did much valuable work for the U. d. Department of Agriculture with which he was connected for many yoara. He spent 3 years in experi menting with Fungus Diseases of Plants and added much to the infor mation of the people by his .work. Mr Howell returned from Australia in 1.F12. While in Australia he was government expert in the culture of tobacco and dW valuable work in that far away county. Since returning here .Mr Howell has been so unfortunate as to lose his wife, her death occurring last September. We have asked Mr Howell to r % series of articles on Tobacco Cul ture, and he has consent** dto write them. The first article in the scries will appear this week. He sure to see It. Mtralght at |«. There la no uoe of our “beating around the bush.” Wo might as well out with It flot as last. We waat you to try Chamhorlain’s Cough Remedy the next time you have a cough or cold. There to no reason so far aa « can see why yon shonld not do so. This preparation by Its remark able cores has gained a world wide reputation, and people everywhere speakdof It In the highest terms of prais*. It is for sale by all dealer*. tt la Asked, ‘.Shall dm Fatted States ■Mid Highways?” It is a question which Is slowly, bat sarely forcing Itself upo nthe Na- Uoaal Legislature. Many Senators sad Represeatgtlves now believe that tbo bnlldiint of a system of National Highways In of mdre economle Im* portaace tkaa nay other pabllc work —more vital than the question of a large navy, more nsefal than nay riser and harbor Improvement, more nersanarv than the Panama Canal. For Highways are built and owned by the pimple. A few years ago road billa had short shrift In Congress—at present there are nearly a ^ hundred bills before Congress dealing with road hnildlng In one form or another. Although th* “good roads” Idea has been gathering force* Ind head way for many years. Its advocates vre still pulling In many directions, heme road associations want State Highways with National Aid. Others went State Highways without Na tional Aid. Still others want good roada paid for by t:ie counties tbrourh which they pass, without eny aid. One. at least, believes finnlv th**t the mention is not onlv me for States, Counties. Cities and Towns, hut for the Nation. The National Highways Assofia- tion believes that the beginning of a comorehenaive good road system for the Natipn must be made by the Federal Government. Such a system— as outlined on the "mp published here —consists of fifty thousand miles or National Highways. It is intended that this map ehould represent the entire good -oad system needed by the United States. It is merely a tentative sug gestion of the National Svst$m of National Highways, from which good roads built by States, by Counties and by Cities and Towns, would grow and multiply. Roads Breed Roans. It is universal exnreience that one mile of good road breeds another mile. Put a State-wide, good road down anywhere in this country, and in ten years there will be dozens of good roads reaching it rrom all parts of the State. Put dow-.i a system of National Highways, built and main tained by the National Government, and the various State Legislature* and County officials would soon see the advantages of connecting ali oart* of the States with those Na tional roada. There are two million miles of roada in the United States. The fifty thousand miles of highway shown' on the map is but a fraction over two i**rcen» of th*<* mti**** r*,,f mprove these fifty thousand miles Into good roada. and keep tuem good r o*ds by proner ma*ntenance. «r*d fifty thousand miles more would grow almost over nlghi. and then an other fifty thousand and another and another, until our great country with Its huge territory, would be crossed and recroased with good roads, as France to todays / National Highways Abroad. France has Nations: Highways. These are immense trunk line roads, great arteries of commerce, and from *beae the smaller rones are built by the provinces of Francer just as the State* and Counties of our States will build feeders and connections to x National System of Highway*. If France - about the size of Tata*—needs. National Highwaya, bow much more do we, v:tb our huge territory, require them: Many Idealists an<* dreamers have proposed National Uoad Systems for thia country. Usually the system ha* been worked out with a map, a ruler, a pencil, end sublime faith. Mountains, lake*, rivers and forests form no obstacles to such visionary road systems. The National High ways System, as shown on thia map * the product of no such dream. The highway* indicated are either the best prcKent roads from point to point, or what are, in the judgment ■>f a trained and experienced corps of road engineers, ihe best possible and practicable roads from point fo point Hut theec engih.*ers. who worked menths on hundreds of large scale -naps, and with the aid of a nation- 1 wide 'ortespoudence of more than fifty thous?nd personal letters asl^ng nforruation and advice know this system is only fentutive.

To h ulld such a svstem complete will take a man’s lifetime and a-huge amount of money. If th* wealth of the- world were reedy to ueifd thto system tomorrow, II would still take many years, beckaae there are avail able neither engineers nor knowledge enough to do tt quickly. When thin, or a nim;:ar system of National Highways to built—aad bqilt it surely will be some day—tt will be by a National Highway Com mission. which first locates aad then builds, one or more roads at a time learning as tt builds. When thin huge amount of money to spent—aa spent tt Is bonad to be—tt will be gradually and through an annual ap propriation. If New York can afford Ive mil lions a year for road building, to tt unreasonable to suppoee the United States Govern meat can afford ten times aa much—or fifty millions a year? Think It over. Look at the map. Study it aad see how It will affect you and your home. If you have any suggestions to make, or criticisms to offer, the National Highway Asso ciation would like to hear tnem. The system as outlined la only a ginning—a suggestion. But If tt ap- ocars as a beautiful dream, it is at leaat a practicable, engineers’ dream, *nd a dream which—like that of de Lcsseps and the canal—:n bound to ^om<* true some time. The National Highways Association believes that the time when the dream begina to come true is close at hand. It is a dream which vitally affects every man. woman and child in it.c country —a dream which, when It does come true in its entirety, will he found of more importance to our progress as a Nation, to our weath, to our social and political life and •» our other dream, of absolute independence, | than any one movement we, as a Na- . tion, have ever made. What Kind of Mind-Food Are Yon . Giving Your Family? I One big fact our Southern farm ers are waking up to. but they are not waking up to it half as fast as they ought. This fact is. that if there is anything in the world you raa’t afford to be “cheap" about, it Is your Intellectual food. Every sensible man knows nowa days that the m in d counts for more than the body, the brain more than the belly; and yet ninety farmed in every hundred who wouldn't think of starving themselves or body-food, stomach-food, muscle-rooc, are nev ertheless starving themselves of brain-food, aiulnd-food, intellectual, food. Many a fond father and mother who would work their finger nails off rather than see their boy feed his body on bones and crumbs and scraps, will nevertheless feed that same boy’s mind on the muatiest, rankest, rottenest bran-and-ebaff sort of mind-food that they can find la the ahape of a newspaper. “But I got this paper to cheap!” they will tell you. “Three whole yean for a dollar, with a map or a pair of spectacles or a fountalh pen thrown In free!” How can a man ho slander hie own brain, his own mlad! How can be Insinuate that It to worth ao little as to deserve no better food than some ttieap journal thrown in with a free fountain pen or baggy whip! Suppose some agent should come to you and any: ”1 understand you have been eating good wheat (four costing $5 a barrel, and feeding your children the same high-priced stiff. Why, sir, that’s too expensive. You can't afford it. Why here’s a mixture of bran and spoiled corn meal, and I’ll sell you three barrels for $6 and throw tn a fountain pen free!” You wouldn’t taxe. two min utes, we suspect, to show that man the door. And yet. altho food for the mind is just as important as rood for the body, there are farmers In every neighborhood in the South who re-' fuse to use their own heads in select ing their reading matter, but let some sllck-tongued agent palm off on them whatever cheap, spoiled, unwholesome, unhelpful bran-snd- chsft mixture of intellectual food he chooses to throw in witii some fake premium, that, in most\raseq, jsn’t much better than the paper 'll gi with. ^ Here !• what we neec ;o say farmers all over the South: You are not a -pauper In dealing with your body; don’t be a pauper in dealing with, your mind. You don’t buy the cheapest stuff you can., find to feed your body with; then don’t buy the (heaoest stuff you can to feed your, mind with. If you are buying mind- food for yourself, you insult your 'wn-brain by intimating that it de serves no *■<»♦»«•■ <oo*i- while in the •e of one’s boys and girls, doesn’t a •man dese rve prison stripes just as •mu'h if he deliberately i-arves his children's minds as he would if he deliberately starved i:.e:r bodies.— The Progressive Farmer.

A pat on the back is a wonderful thing It gives a man courage to whistle and sing; When hope is departing, the outlook Js grim. A pat on the back then says volumes to him. It whisper*: "Keep at it!
