MATTERS IN BULLOCK'S CREEK.

BULLoCK's CREEK, September live
have had another freshet and the prospects
for a corn crop are very bad. Broad river
and Bullock's creek have both been very
high, but as yet the damage to crops and
property on these streams cannot be esti-
mated. There is difference of opinion on
the subject. Some think that the damage
to corr is not so great as it was by the
freshet of last year, while others think it
will be greater. Cotton planted on the
river bottoms will be an entire failure, as
was the case last year. / heard a renter
on Broad River say yesterday that he had
made three good consecutive crops, but
had gathered only a little of either. This
is certainly very discouraging. to those
whose dependence is entirely on low lands.
A farmers surveillance was organized
at this place last Saturday. The farmers
generally are falling in, and, with only a
few exceptions, all will soon become men,
bers of the organization.
The county commissioners have GER
tainly turned their attention to this part
of the county. Good & Plexico have saw
ed timber for four new bridges, three of
which are in this section, and the other is
on Thickety creek. They have also fur
nished timber for repairing other bridges
and crossings. We are glad that they have
been so thoughtful, for we have felt that
we have been neglected in this respect
for the last year or two. But "alPs we'll

RAILROAD T

The first passenger coaches to arrive at York
willie on the Three Cs Railroad, came up on
Monday afternoon, having on board the State
Railroad Commission, who passed over the
road for the purpose of inspecting the track
between this place and Rock Hill, preliminary
to opening that portion of the road for traffic.
The train consisted of only two cars, and re-
turned Immediately to Rock Hill.
Messrs. A. Frank Woods and Walter B.
Moore have contracted with Major Jones, sup
erintendent, for the erection of a freight depot,
a cotton shed, a dwelling house and atool house.
The freight depot is to be 20 by 100 feet with
platform on each side, one platform to be l36
feet long, and the building to be completed
by October6. The cotton shed or covered plat
form, is to be 20 by 70 feet, and finished by
October 10. The dwelling is to be a house of
four rooms and to be finished by October 20.
The tool house will be u by is feet, and is to
be finished by October 20. The time in which
to do this work is short, but if not delayed IN
procuring timber, orders for which are at SIX
different mills, the contractors have faith IN
their ability to comply with their agreement.
Mr.. A. NJ. Winkler, of Summerville, and a
member of the clerical force of the South Car
olina Railroad, will be in the depotat this place
for a while, as assistant to Mr.. B.. n. Moore,
the agent.

and the crops almost totally destroyed.
The State loses 800 bales of cotton and 90
900 bushels of corn, and the injury to the
planters is beyond precedent. In Chester
field, Edgefeld and Kershaw, the crops
have sustained serious damage.
In Chester county the deluge was also
destructive to crops and property. From
the Reporter we clip the following:
Rocky Creek was higher by 3 feet and a
half than in the celebrated freshet of July,
1856. At Torbit's mill, more than half OF
the dam is gone. Browns mill and mill
dam are swept off. Hundreds of acres of
corn along the creek were submerged and
tens of thousands of bushels of corn utter
ly destroyed, being unfit, it is said, even
for hog feed. -,
On Bull Run, Douglass mill and mill
dam were carried away, the large water
wheel being found half a mile from the
mill site. The destruction of crops on
this stream is complete. Capt. 0. A. wy
lie, Wylie's Mill, writes US that Fishing
Creek was within two feet and nine inch
es of the freshet of July, 1856. The mills
and bridge are safe. A portion of the
bridge at Fishing Creek Factory was
slightly moved by being struck with a
fiat which fioated down from the IT,, Z. q
n. railroad bridge. No damage was done
to any part of the machinery OF either
factory or mill. At Cedar Shoals Factory
the new iron bridge erected a few months
ago was washed away and lodged against
the railroad bridge. From the effects OF
Thursdays floods the damage to crops in
the western part of the county, compared
with the eastern, was not heavy. This ex-
emption, however, did not last long;
From the heavy rains of Saturday and
Sunday and Sunday night, the waters Of
Broad river, Sandy river, Turkey, creek
and other streams in the western half OF
the county, rose to q great height. The
destruction of crops along all these streams
has been terrific, we'll nigh complete
This great loss falls with disheartening
almost crushing, effect on the farmers OF
the country.
While the railroads throughout the State
suffered much damage and travel was in
terrupted, communication has been again
| established.

Correspondence Of the YOrkrille Enquirer.
Nnnno nDAM HMM nlIINTX

ETA JANE, September 15.-Along our
streams the destruction of crops is COM
plete. Hundreds and thousands Of bush
els of corn is now souring along Broad
river, Thickety and Gilky's creeks. The
cotton on hundreds of acres is rendered
entirely worthless by the freshet of last
week. The restitution among all classes
of our people at this time is truly appall-
ing. Some corn old enough for the fodder
to be pulled off may be saved with great
trouble. The cotton bOlls will rot and fall
off. A rain to wash the sediment off the
fodder will enable farmers to save it.,
though in a prematurely ripe state and
consequently of little value as feed. Most
of the crops were under water for forty
eight hours. Thickety creek, at Thorn
sons mill, was higher than ever known
before. So strong was the current that
the water ran half across Broad river before
it was checked by that stream. There IS
not a bridge upon it but is damaged or
totally destroyed. The total damage lone
to property in Union county alone, It IS
impossible to estimate. 1t might be safely
placed at hundreds of thousands of olla
SIGMA.
