Mill No. 2.
TIIK MILL WAS IX OPERATION.
When the llnal crash came at No. 2

The water rose higher and higher, but
,he operatives were disposed to laugh at
he situation. They did not dream of
ts seriousness. They stood by their
ooms and spindles and the little children
loated their boxes in the water and
)addltd around as though it were a holilay.
When the seriousness dawned and

mmediate cause for alarm. The sufferng

Manufacturing Co., reached the
city yesterday, after a stay at Ids mill

ville is a 10,000 spindle mill located ou
, North Pacolet liver. The loss he psti?
mates from $5,000 to $10,000, and in his
opinion this is a smaller per ceutage than
that of the average plantations of this
' section of the county, where nothing but
1 destruction to crops attended tho storms
visitation. While the dam remains the
water was ten feet higher than at any
time in the history of the mill. Two
1 cottages were swept away, but there was
: no loss of life. The greatest damage
was accomplished by the water Hooding

machinery and suspending all operations.
TUCAfAU MILLS.
A director of the Tucapau Mills was
in the city yesterday from that town.
The mill is on Middle Tyger, and its
waters were unusually swollen by the
unprecedented rain fall. This caused
portions of the mill to be Hooded, and
there was a break in the dam at Berry's
Shoals. The lass for Tucapau is con.
servatively estimated at from $10,000
[ to $12,000.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.)
In the first opening tof Oklahoma to
settlers in 1880, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after fortune
who made the big race one tine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping unon
his claim, lie encountered mucn bad i
water, which together with the severe
heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case became
so bad he exnectcd to die. One
day ono of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic
Cholera, and Diarrhoea ltemedy as a
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground, in great agony, and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The

AtouuA the 1\firth.
The following gentlemen attended
the meeting of the Shriners in Asheville
last week: Messrs, J. D. Arthur,
Macbeth Young, A. P. H. Walker,
Arthur Lowery, Drs. J. H. Hamilton,
C. W. Austell and I. M. Hair.
3ome of these gentlemen had quite a
time of it getting home. The washouts
on the roads blocked their-way.
One party of them, it is said, had
the following experience: They
boarded the train in Asheville for
Union; came to Landrum; turned
thero and went to Asheville, thence
to Statesville, thence to Columbia,
from Columbia to Clinton and from
Clinton to Carlisle. Oae gentleman
said Monday afternoon : "When last
heard from they were making for
Union in a wagon." Wo trust they
got homo safely.
Startling Evidence.
Fresh testimony in great quantity is
constantly coming in, declaring Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds to be unequaled.
? A recent expression from T. J. McFarland.
Bcntorville, Va., serves as example.
lie writes: "I had Bronchitis fr?r
three years and doctored all the time
without being benefited. Then I began
Staking Dr. King's new Discovery, and a
