Bush River.
The sweeping,seething, surging tlood
of water last Monday that lifted Bush
River bridge lightly as a feather, and
leaped angrily toward the railroad
bridge, brought many an interested
spectator out to view the sw Uing flood
as it broadening expanse converted
smiling fields of corn and cotton into at
temporary inllanld sea. The youg la
dies descended towards the shore in
conveyances, singing the while, "what
are the wild waves saying?' *and
"gathering shells from the seashore,"
while the boys reached the river by the
"dirt train." it was a sight to those
who had never s^en the river on at raml
page.

The Floods.
The August-September storm, which
began in the far South-west and swept
vast areas of country from the Gulf to
i the Lakes and the Atlantic, taking
Newberry in its course, has been very
destructive of land, crops, stock, roads,
bridges and mills dams, and seriously
interfering with trade and travel.
The bridges in Newberry County
have nearly all disappeared. Along
Bush River all are gone save Lindsey's
:11d that is unsafe. The volunie of
the water may be realized when it is
remeiuhered that Broad and Bush
Rivers were never before as high by
several feet. A quantity of grain and
;iuur that had been removed to the
secoid story of Langford's mill was
rearhed .y the water. The Little River
br:iees have all gone down with the
excepLionl of the Workman bridge and
one spanii of it was partly carried off.
M %r. E. P. Lake, at Helena, we he
lie e, says it was as high in 1822. Salu
da and Broad rivers are higher than
they have been since the big freshet of
185-. and possibly higher than they
were then.
The County Cominissioners advertise
several bridges in this issue. In fact, as
we have stated, nearly every bridge in
the county has been taken away or
badly damaged. The loss to the county
in the way of bridges will reach S-,0x)
or $:i;0. Some persons estimate the
loss as high as $10,000.
The County Commissioners held a
me1tetingl on \Wednesday and will pro
eved at once to have the most impor
tanlt bridlges replaced. The tax levy
for county purposes will possibly have
to be inceased to meet the heavy de
ni:u1:dl on the trca:"urv for the loss of so
many'i bridges.
This tondition of things seems no
lon-er ;;henoinenal, but appears to
have settled upon us as a normal con
dition. The drought which cut off the
upln;d corn is followed by the flood
th:at sweep the bottom corn away. The
loss to individuals is very heavy in the
way of bottom corn and the injury to
ie cotton crop. Nearly all of the corn
on the rivers and creeks will be a total
loss and some of it was very fine. The
loss filis upon many who are unable to
bear it. The aggregate loss to the
country at large is fearful to think of.
Just at this juncture, when the crop
is maturing and the farmers are pre
paring for its removal to market, to see
the cotton bolls rotting, the lint stained
and the bridges gone, is discouraging.
Tp many in the country at large the
washing of the land and loss of crops,
etc., is a real calamity and crucial test.
But they dare not deair ! There is
hope ahead! Salutary lessons may be
learned, and ways and means of escape
be found!
Broad River on Tuesday was reported
to be running several feet deep over
the ratils of the big iron bridge at Al
ston.. From Alston to Columbia, a
distance of about twenty miles, the
track of the Columbia and Greenville
railroad w~as under water. The dam
geto the road will be greater than
that of the freshest of May, 1886, and
possibly the heaviest damage the road
has ever sustained.
All rail and telegraphic comniunica
tioni betwveen Newberry and Columbia
wvas in terr'upted Tuesday-the last.train
being a construction train, which camne
in Monday night.
The rise in Broad river began Mon
day nig'ht and was very rap)id.
D)AMA(GE ON 'THE SALU'DA.
Late yesterday afternoon Mr. J. L.
Butler, fromi No. 7, called at our office,
frmwhr we gathered the following
facts as to the high water on the Salu
da. He wvalked the iron at Little river
and swarn two spans of 15 feet each in
order' to get here.
A t D)yson Mr. Walton's store is gone
andi a horse drowned. Mrs. Clark w~ho
lives near the creek was drowned in
at te:pt ing to get out of herhbouse in a
cnnoe, the house being surrounded by
water. This was on Sunday night.
At the railroad bridge the water was
about five feet above the floor.
'At Chappells the water was waist
dleep in the depot and over several cars
ont t he track. Mr. Reid had a car load
of flour on the track which was ruined.
T he co;tton1 platform was turned
At Saluda every house was taken off
Xel)t the old store of Mr. W. A. Hill
and it was moved. The railroad station
htouse was mtoved with a lot of iron in
it.
ihe railroad bridge at Little River is
gone. The water was five feet above
the track. The water v;as still over the
track at all t h('se p)laces on Tuesday and
the damfiage cannot be estimated. It
will be some time yet before the road is
in rep)air for the trains to pass.

MR. SLIGH INTERVIEWED.
What Be Has to Say About the Talk of
an Independent Ticket and the
Recent Election. t
Mr. Sligh was in town on Monday
and spent the night here. The Herald'
and News called on him Monday night
at the residence of Mr. H. H. Blease a
and while there interviewed him on
the situation in the county in regard to
the talk of springing an independent
e
ticket. and we give herewith that inter
view.
We found him alone in the parlor f
about 9 o'clock looking over the News
and Courier. 0
In this connection we desire to write F
of a little matter personal.
This editor knows very little of the o
ways and tricks of politics, and in this 3
campaign in the county it has been our
endeavor to keep the columns of this
paper free from anything that would d
show partiality to any candidate be
e
fore the people, and we think we have
succeeded in this. It was a family
light and we were willing to abide the
result of the decision of the people at
the polls as to who should be their
nominees. This decision has been f
made and declared, and so far as this I
paper is concerned we accept it and r
shall support the nominees declared by
the executive committee. The editor n
exercised his right to vote and he ac- r
cords the same privilege to every man, i<
without stint or grumbling. We dis- s
like to see partisanship carried too far s
by any one, especially in a Democratic a
primary for nominations.
The influence of this paper shall r
never be given to further the purposes v
of any party within the party while it is v
under the present management, but we s
shall ever strive to stand on high i;
ground, awarding to each man his n
rights and keeping an eye single to the v
best interests of the whole people.
Whenever we become so blinded by LI
partisanship as not to be able to do this d
we shall retire from journalism. e
We went to Mr. Blease's residence a
by the main street and at the front door I
and expected to tell the readers of The t
Herald and News what took place s
there. We did not know we had to be u
watched as if we were slipping some- t
where. But the first thing we heard 'I
when we came down street on Tuesday 1,
morning was that we had attended a
caucus at Mr. Blease's the night before,
and that we were secretary. We have L
been secretary of a good many things s
lately, but if we have ever been in a
caucus or secretary of one in all of our s
eventful life we are unaware of it. We t
did have out our pencil and note book,
something with which we are always t
armed, but "simply this and nothing e
more," and here is what we we wrote
therein. If that is a caucus and being t
secretary of it, then we have been cor- d
rectly accused. But the truth is there
was no caucus, and we think it worry
ing matters just a little too far to put g
all sorts of reports afloat simply because
a man sees fit to talk with another. I
We hope our readers will pardon us
for saying this much in this connec- a
tion, but we feel compelled to do it t
under the circumstances.
After exchanging a few words on the 1h
weather or something of that sort, The ni
Herald and News asked Mr. Sligh if p
he objected to being interviewed, and t]
he said not. I:
"WVell," querried the reporter, "Mir. If
Sligh, there has been a good deal of a
talk recently of springing an inde- t<
pendlent ticket in the county, and some o
people think you know something of v
it, have you anything to say about s<
that?"
"The people,"' said Mr. Sligh, "are
very much dissatisfied with the result
of the re'cent election. They are writ- n
ing to mec and coming to me every day,
asking me to expose the outrageous s
proceedings perpetrated upon them,
and telling me if this is not done they
will spring an independent ticket. In a
obeying this command I have but one
object in view and that is the purga- a
tion and purification of the Democratic A
party from corruption, and to teach
the perpetrators that it is dangerous to y
override the rights of the people. I
have been advising my friends against i
an independent ticket, and shall con- j
tinue so to do. I think I shall be able
to control them provided they are nota
goaded to desperation. It is our full
intention to act within the lines of the
Democratic party in bringing about
this reform." C
"It is reported that you have been in E
consultation with Mr. B. 0. Duncan b
and Mr. D. R. Phifer, two white RIe
publicans. What about that?" asked rt
the reporter.
"Concerning this" answered Mr.
Sligh, "I have to say some people are
too suspicious. They should be more
particular as to how they judge the
motives of others. I had a few words w
with both of these gentlemen since the
election, but not one wvord was said
about an independent ticket, or aniy
thing of the kind, or anything that
would lead to it. On Saturday morn-.
ing, September 1, I met Mr. Duncan at
the foot of the stairs at Judge Blease's
affice and had a short conversation with ~
bim, but nothing was said about the
dissatisfaction growving out of the re- (I
sults of the recent election or about the ai
election at all."
"In your recent article, Mr. Slighi, y4
you speak of appealing to the people w
wall you be kind enough to explain Tl
what you mean by that?" asked the p4
reporter.
"I mean simiply to show them that a
:he protest that they and I are making m
is well founded and that I was really e,
their choice for Senator, and not with th
i view of annulling the decision of the ia
E~xecutive Committee. Also with a in
further view of showing to the people th~
hat unless the corrupt proceedings fo
>racticed at the recent election are th
cemoved they will prove the destruc- fo
ion of the D)emocratic party." th:
After this Mr. Sligh said: "My a
riends tell me that it is reported on eil
he streets oif Newberry, and I heard it ed
'efore I got here, that I have beeni to
neeting with the negroes wvith a view th
>f encouraging an independent ticket. th
'uch a report is, unworthy of my notice. su
md I hurl it back in the face of the Ia
riginator wvith all tile contempt I can be
:ontrol. I have to say, "Evil to him ep
vho evil thinks." This rumor the w:
'eporter had not heard. With this the in
nterviewv ended, and the reporter with- be
Irew. I

A response by Mark Twain to
