HEAVY RAINFALL.

The heaviest rainfall with which this Sec
ton has been visited for years occurred on last
Sunday night, the rain, accompanied with
some wind, falling continuously for about
seven hours. AS a consequence of the heavy
rains throughout the county, continuing Tor
twelve days, much damage by overflow and
otherwise has been sustained by the crops
The same intelligence comes from nearly every
section of the State. Yesterday was brightand
clear, and with a few days of sunshine the
age inflicted by the floods may be somewhat
| retrieved.

so frightened that he fled and made no
effort to attack the monster. The news
spread, and no more weeds have been cut
in that part of the country. Since then
the big snake has been seen by several
persons. 1t is described as nearly fifteen
feet long and as large as a mans thigh in
the middle of its body. Its pathway
through weeds and grass can be plainly
traced. The farmers are considering, a
plan for an organized raid on the reptile.

SnITTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- Mai. r. A. Willis, of WATERFORD, clerk
of the court, who served as a soldier in the
late war, died on Tuesday of last week.
John Brown, a young white man, has
been arrested, charged with burning the
house of a negro named Charles Plummer,
in Greenville county:
Cotton is arriving at Charleston in the
rate of 1000 bales a day. Very few bales
are packed with other than jute bagging,
as shippers reject all such bales as unmer-
charitable.
A negro named Cheek, employed by
Dover & Castor on their railroad work in
Greenville county, wa shot by a colored
woman named Henrietta Suber, from the
effect of which he died on Monday. The
woman is in jail.
- Lightning struck the residence Of T.
A.. C%ovington, a prominent planter OF Lit
tie Rock, Marion county, last Thursday.
Mrs. Covington wa instantly killed and
MIR. Covington seriously burned and other,
wise injured, and Miss Lula Weatherly, a
visitor, severely shocked.
Lieut.. w. F. Howard, of the United
States Army, died at Florence on the Bird
inst. He had been home for several years
on a f%urlough, as he was stricken with
paralysis while at his post of duty. Since
he came home he had been promoted twice.
He was, at the time of his death, First
Lieutenant of Artillery. He was buried at
Hopewell church, twelve miles below
Florence.
SAYS the Anderson Journal: A short
time since two young ladies, Miss Whit
ley and Miss Maude King, at Castle Plnck-
ney, Charleston, rescued three men from
drowning after their boat had capsized.
The affair was reported to the lighthouse
board in Washington, and the secretary OF
the treasury has ordered that gold medals
be awarded these ladies for herolsm dis
played on the occasion.
The farmers of Barnwell county have
combined to red1ce the wages of farm
hands twenty per cent, presumably to get
even with the cotton bagglng trust squeeze.
The hands claim that they can scarcely
support themselves honestly on the ola
rate Of wages, and have struck: cotton IS
maturing very fast now, and a general
strike would involve a serious loss to plant
ers. AS vet, the reduction in wages is con-
fined to one county. Should it extend,
there will be considerable trouble.
The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier says: The following
statement shows the amount disbursed
each month for pensions under the Act of
the last Legislature since the payments
began: April, 1920; May, $3.50: June,
81 1000; July, S9,675; August, $500, max
ing a total of si3, ITO. If the pension dis
bursements are maintained at the present
figures it will require an annual appropri-
alton of fully s114,0OO to meet the claims.
The probability is that for some time, at
least, the addition of new pensioners to the
list will more than offset the decrease
caused by death. The appropriation OF
$50, 900, made available at the last session,
will not be sufficient to meet the claims
which should be paid for the month of
September.

The Boisterous Atlantic

account of the perils of the deep than the al
most certainty of sea sickness. The best
curative OF NAL de mer is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which settles the stomach at once and
prevents its disturbance. To all travellers and
tourists, whether by sea or land, it presents a
happy medium between the nauseaous or inef-
fectual resources of the medicine chest, and
the problematical benefit derivable from an
unmedicated alcoholic stimulant, no matter
how pure. The jarring of a railroad car often
produces stomacho disorders akin to that
caused by the rolling of ship. For this the
Bitters is prompt and certain remedy. The
use of brackish water, particularly on long
voyages in the tropics, inevitably breeds dis
orders of the stomach and bowels. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters mixed with impure wa
ter nulifies Its impurities. Similarly it conn-
teracts malarial and other prejudicial inhu-
ences of climate or atmosphere, as well as the
effects of exposure and fatigue. Use 1t for
kidney complaints, rheumatism and debility.
