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. Much dumago
was done in town to window
panes and skylights. .Several
small sections of stained ghiss
windows in tho Methodist, Hap
tisl ami 1'resby terian churches
were broken out. Tiie damage
to crops northwest of t,ie city
was very great. The farmers re
port that everything wan destroyed.

time to get out of their beds. |
Fully 7,500 operatives will lie'
left without employment, but
most ot these unfortunate people
will be looked alter by the mill
authorities lor the present. 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. No trains have
left or arrived here to day. The
bridge just out side ol Spartanburg,

Ireds of men have been rushed ? EZT

Pacolet, along Lawson Fork and 2
Pacolet River, the effects ot the W
lood can be seen on every side a
[loads are covered with water, %
rees, telegraph poles and the a
wreckage of railroad tracks, etc. 9
The wreck at Clifton Mills is S
he most disastrous in the course S
)f the flood. 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. This cotton mill was the . ^ ~"L.
argest in Spartanburg county, ' CaivU
raving a capital stock ot $1,000,- t
)00. This mill was the first, one t
in Pacolet, river, and the site is ,
ower than the surrounding coun- \
ry. On each side are high 1
diffs, and the water rose to the i \
imaging height of sixty feel. 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. For z|
lours the mill withstood the on m
