The floods in the western part of the state have been the worst erer known. The damage to cotton mills, grist mills, railroad and county bridges, farm lands aud growing crops is appalling and cannot be estimated. The estimated damage done in Kansas) by the recent Hoods is $12,300,000 to property in cities, and $5,000,000 damage to growing crops in that state alone. No account is taken of the damage to smaller towns of which there were nearly 200 that snllered more or less from the floods. The freshet in the Congaree river was 28 feet high at Columbia, the worst since 1888, when it was 33 feet. The last vestage of crops on those bottoms was swept away. The / 10j48 to crops within ton miles / of Columbia i9 estimated at ? ' $1,000,000. It is too late now to undo the mischief that was done by the flood in Pacolet river Inst Satur day, but it seems, as we learn from The State's correal -indent there, that some of the old mill operatives many years ago protested against the building of the mill villages along the river bank and often the houses have been tiooded on the lower floors at the Clifton mills. rl his has caused no little dissatisfaction among the workmen ami their families for years. Now they hold the mill owners directly responsible for the loss of life, and the fact that the inhabitants of Santuc were not warned by the mill watchmen of their danger has aggravated the situ ation not a little. TERRIFIC HAIL HTO dH. Special to The State. Greenwood, June 2?Green wood was visited by u 'errific hail storm yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock. Liail stones fell that measured over six inches in circumference. The old'st in\ habitant conld find no occasion to surpass this one.

Tiie damage to crops northwest of t,ie city was very great. The farmers re port that everything wan destroyed.

In deed, at. Clifton Mills arrangements have aiteadv been made for furnishing houses and food for tho sufferers. The amount of damage done to radroad, telephone and telegraph companies is enormous. All along the railroads bridges, trestles em' tracks have been swept away by the fury of the " rods. Spartanburg is entirely shut otf from the outside world.

The handsome new nill, erected by Capt. D. E. Con m rerse in 1896 and completed in W \KTrx 1899 by President A. Ii. Twitch- , 1 )ll, is a complete wreck, washed | * iwav.

The 1 nill stood about two hundred 4 rarda above the iron trestle of ? he Southern Railway, now it is ? ? mangled mass ot distorted J . irick, iror. and timbers.
