WE hear of considerable frestes in our creeks and
rivers from the rains Of last week. On The Sa!uda
side especially it has resulted in no little devastation
Little Saluda River, Dry Creek, Rchland and other
streams in that section as high as almost ever
known to be. The low grounds upon them were
much washed and q good deal of corn and cotton
injured From big Saluda we have not heard.
Some of this destruction We saw ourSeli, happening
TO be On visit out that way. There was one botiom'
somewhere on The old Cambridge road, which was IN
some degree prevented frum washing by magnlf'

with the corn. THIS is one OF the ways grass occa'
sionally renders good service
