WILLIAMSBURG DISTRICT, s. C.-The Kinsstree
Star of yesterday says:
During last week this District was visited with
the heaviest fall Of rain ever before experienced
by the ''odest inhabitants" It commenced on
Wednesday night and continued to pour down in
torrents during the whole of Thursday rendering
our streets III many places impassabie. Streams
that were almost dry few hours before were
sw lien 30 as to swim horses. Black River is fuller
from all directions OF bridges being washed away,
and the bad condition OF roads.
The growing crops hayo been materially in
jured aud in some places totally destroyed. 1t is
fortunate that these rains were not accompanied
by wind; il such had been the case, the destruc-
ton would have been much greater. With the ex-
ception OF this injury, the prospects of crop are
very good. We hear some complaints about a
bad stand OF cotton.
1t also informs us that Mr.. JOHN A. KEELs was
elected to the Legislature from that District on
Tuesday last, without opposition.
MARION, S. C.-Tho Marion Crescent, Of yester-
day, says:
Last week We were visited by a food OF rain,
the like OF which the oldest inhabitant had no re-
membrane at this season OF the year. The rain
poured in torrents for thirty-six hours The
bridges over some OF tho principal streams we're
washed away.
The weather since the rain has become hot and
93d. Fahrenheit in the shade
Tho crops were somewhat injured by tho wet
weather.
