Galveston, Texas, July G.
The food reached the southern
part of the State Sunday night and
Monday. The planters had re-
ceived ample warning, but many
negroes renamed in the Brazos
valley, believing the water would
not reach higher than in 1885.
From /, 800 to 1000 coIored
people were caught in the valley.
IN Austin, Waller and Fort Bend
counties, and were forced to take
to the trees and house tops.
Gov Sayers, at the suggestion
of Congressman Hawley, appealed
to the war department to send
government life saving boats from
Galveston. Permission was grant,
ed, and a special train left this af-
ternoOn for the flooded district
carrying several government and
a number of private boats. 1t is
believed that nearly all the people
lodged in trees and on house tops
have been rescued, but the boats
sent from Galveston today will
patrol the flooded districts and
make a thorough search for strag-
glers.
The war department has author
lied Gov Sayers to distribute 10, .
600 rations among the flooded
sufferers, the ratiOns t. be fur
nished the governor from San
Antonio.
At one point two houses were
seen coming down the stream. In
one of them was Il man and two
women, and on another woman
and five children were clinging
for life and calling for help. One
of these was a fine two story affair
and the other was smaller dwell
ing. They passed on with the
toaming current and may have
struck an obstruction and been
smashed to pieces or found their
way irto the gulf.

sentiments were not inspired by
any animosity toward the negro
race, but by the conviction that it
would be better for the negro and
better for the white man for them
to dwell apart, and he gave further
assurance that he would be de-
lighted to sec the negroes happily
settled in a country that they
might call their own.
Gen Butler deeply convinced
his hearers by the thoughtful and
masterful way in which he treated
his subject. 1t is needless to say
that the general may always feel
at homo among our people.

Who Pays the Billl

Columbia correspondence of
The News and Courier: There
seems to be some hitch about the
payment of the expenses of the
Crawford trial in Kershaw coun-
ty. After the trial the holders of
certificates went to the treasurer
of kershaw and tried to get pay,
but the money was not forthcom.
ing, until some understanding
could be had with the RichIand
authorities. The RichIand board
of commissioners have Just gotten
an opinion from their attorney.
Mr. Patton, in which he states
that there is no law to compel the
payment of the claim. and that
Richland county cannot, accord
ing to law, be forced to make the
payment. The equity and prac.
tice has been for the county to
pay such expenses, but with that
he had nothing to do and his view
of this was not asked. This
seems to be very curious condi-
tinn of the laws of the state. In
Il recent case against Colleton
county the supreme court ordered
the county. which declined to pay
such a bill, to meet the bill; but
the direct question as to the la-
biliry of the county was not decid-
ell. In the Ike Kinard case, in
the BroXton Bridge cases and all
recent cases, the bills have been
paid by nelghboring counties, no
matter what the law might have
been.

FIFTH CHILD FOJNDIN THE
RIVER.
Crimes COMMITTED in Charleston
and No Clue Discovered.
Special to The State.

Charleston, July 5.-No arrests
have yet been made in connection
with the finding of the white male
off east Battery yesterday morn~
ing.
The detectives arc ut work on
the case but it is announced at
police headquarters that no clue
to the parents or to the parties
who drowned the child has been
discovered. As has been stated
yesterdays find makes the fifth
child that has been found in the
Cooper river and in no case was
the mystery cleared up. A singu-
lar feature of the situation is that
all the babies were found in about
the same place. In the lower rart
OF the city, near the Battery.
CharIeston's aristocracy reside,
which makes the finding of the
babies all the more remarkable.
