When the strikers gathered about the
streets in the vicinity Of the railroad yards
there was great CONSERVATION among the
Chinese who reside in this vicinity. They
crowded the sidewalks in front of their
stores and dwelling places, and viewedthe
spectacle with a wholesome fear. Some of
the strikers volunteered them the infor-
nation that fighting was soon to begin, and
that they had better close shop and lie
low until tranquility prevailed again. The
Chlnese needed no more. In a moment

Reports from all parts Of the county show
,ha, erea, damage was done By the excessive
rainfall between Friday and Monday. A
majority of the bridges in the county were
washed away, and number of mill dams
broken. The railroads were damaged con-
siderably, and trains were delayed on Satur-
day and Sunday. But ali other losses put
together will NOT equal that sustained by the
farmers. The damage cannot yet be estl.

The Three C's Road.

Superintendent a. Trip, OF. the Charles
ton, Cincinnati and Chicago Road, was in the
city yesterday. Mr. Tripp said ha; the out
look for business slong his road this season
was better than i; had been for years. With
out exception the crops in his section Of the
State were the best that had been seen in
decade, and that the farmers were all con-
sequently in happy aud hopeful condition
for the same marked increase in the acreage
planted in corn was noticed in his part of the
country which has been reported from other
sections of the State. The people Of Camden,
York and Spartanburg would have more
corn to sell this fall than they had ever had
before.
Mr. Tripp was asked about the rumor that
the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Road
was going 10 build branch line from Cam
den 10 Sumter He said ,ha. he believed it
was true Such branch would be Of
ioestimable advantage to his road, and the
people who now bad control of the Three Cs
had plenty of money at their command to do
anything which they we're convinced would
increase the value of their property.
The Sumter branch would be about thirty
two miles in length and it would run through
a country in which railroad construction
would be neither difficult nor expensive. At
the same time it would give the road most
valuable connections ]. would give the road
three outlets where it now has but one. At
Sumter i, would tap the Atlantic Coast Line
and Charleston, Sumter and Northern roads,
while it would still maintain its friendly re-
latiou with the South Carolina and Georgia
Railroad at Camden. Such important addi-
tons to its connections could not fail to
bring large increase of business. They as
we'll as the additional territory acquired
would enable the Three C's to participate in
.aree business in which i. could now claim 40
share at all.
When Mr.. Trip was asked when he thought
the new road would be begun he said that
about the FIRST of September the road was to
be reorganized under its new name, and that
he thought rs soon as that bad been accom-
plished that seps would be taken looking
towards the construction of the Sumter
branch iipe.-News and Courier, Aug. 4.

RsxBEsr, s. G.. Ang.7, 1894.
The heaviest fall of rain ever known in this
section of the county began here on last
Saturday afternoon and continued almost
without stopping uatil this morning. The
mills on Rafting Greek are badly damaged.
McLeod's, Rembert's and Ellerbe's mill dams
are all broken and the low ground around is
ali under water. The roads leading to the
mills are washed until they are impossible,
and near the mills are from three to four feet
deep in water ig places.
The tots and stable Of Mr. W. C.. S. Ellerbe
are now two feet deep in water and it was
with difficulty that the stock were saved.
he had one calf, nearly all of mis- chickens
aud sixteen grown Pekin ducks drowned.
This latter statement may sound strange, but
Mr.. Eilerbe voaches for its correctness. 1t
will be sometime before the mills can be
started again. The water is falling little,
but as yet nothing can be done towards
repairing the damage.
The tobacco planters in this neighborhood
bad a rough experience on Saturday and
Sunday nights The earth was 80 saturated
with water that it sprang up and put out
the fires in the furnaces in several of the
barns. This damaged all the tobacco in pro-
cess of curing, about one-half.
We don't know yet to what extent the
growing crops are damaged.

It.eally seems that the murderer of the late
Jno. E. Gayden has been caught in Jackson
Taylor, as evidence against him seems point
blank. Rosa Polk and Katie Brown are also
in Jail as eye witnesses to the atrocious deed,
and they say that Taylor fired the fatal shot
and that they saw Gayden in his death
struggles. 1t is still believed, and might be
said certainty, that Mr.. Gayden was shot
from wrong identity. Mr.. G. o. Wheeler,
jr., has also been lodged 10 Jail as being i'm
plicated in the killing, but We must indulge
the confident belief that be is perfectly in-
noeent and that he will have no trouble in

We have had the heaviest rains for the last
few days that have visited our section of
couatry. for long time. The bridges are all
gone in the low places along the public roads,
and everywhere is flooded with water. The
damage to crops will be great, especially cot
ton, as all bottoms are covered with water,
and the cotton is drowned out. Corn
lying down will all be lost unless We can 60

AUSTRALIANS GOLD MINES.
Two Young Adventures Who Struck o
Great Bonanza in That Country.

Great Bonanza in That Country.
Some big stories are current of the
richness of the Coolgardie gold fields
In western Australia, and particularly,
says the Scientific American, of one
mine in the district discovered by two
young adventures named Bailey and
Ford. The former, while prospecting,
found forty-ive ounce nugget stick
ing out from reef in a big mountain
of quartz AS quickly as possible a
claim was staked out, but in spite OF ali
precautions much valuable surface ore
was stolen before a proper guard could
be established.
The monthly output from the mine
now amounts to 1000 ounces From
thirty tons of ore picked from bulk
of /, 400 tons Is, 900 ounces of gold were
obtained, and the remainder of the
stone is expected to yield from five to
six ounces to the ton. Out of $50 tons
raised from depth of fifteen feet
twelve tons were picked, giving $500
ounces of smelted gold. From another
part of the mine four tons selected out
of 100 tons of ore yielded 1000 ounces
of gold. Some of the other returns of
picked stone were: Five tons from $50
tons for 1000 ounces, two tons from
seventy tons for 900 ounces, four tons
for !, 900 ounces and thirty hundreds
weight for 500 ounces. Some of the
surface sis so rich in gold that ounces
can sometimes be picked out in few
minutes" Down TO the fifty-foot level
only it is estimated that gold to the
smount of 10000 ounces is now in
sight. It is as yet too soon TO speak
about the prospects of other claims
which have been pegged out in and
around Coolgardie. Very few of them
have got beyond the rudimentary stage
of prospecting claims, although re-
ports have been received Of some val
liable finds. among which may be cited
reef carrying ten ounces to the ton,
and the discovery of nuggets of fifty
two ounce weight on field forty-tive
miles distant. The population of the
place amounted to about 1900 some
weeks ago, but since then has dimin-
ished in consequence of the terrible
hardships which must be encountered
there, owing TO the climate.
