LAST NIunr.s RESULTS.
Heavy Rain and Some Wind Did slight
Damage I'm Town.

The heavy rain last night was
not altogether a surprise as the
clouds had looked very threatening
all day, but few people. doubtless,
expected the torrent that came.
Main street, for the second time
this year, became a small stream
and the water surged and roared
around the express Office and de-
pot as it does only when the down
pour is very excessive. The street,
from the opera house to the depot,
is covered today with driftwood
and other debris left by the reced-
ing water.
The most serious damage noted
this morning as the result OF the
Main street flood was the injury to
the sidewalk in front of j. n. Bar
all's store. The water under
mined the curb stones at the edge
of the walk and caused them to
collapse, thus allowing the water
to wash in behind them, taking
out dirt and gravel from under the
walk for a considerable distance
Today the work of repairing the
walk is in progress and this will
be done by building a solid wall al
the edge to prevent similar mis-
haps in the future.
There must have been consider
able wind with the rain at times
as the big sign which spannec
the entire front of the Sig Simon
building was blown down.
In the residence portion OF the
city no damage has been reported
though it is noticeable that in gar
dens where corn was growing thi:
is twisted and blown down consid
erably.
1t is probable that when reports
are received from the country i
will be found that considerable
damage to crops has resulted from
the heavy rain and wind.
One good thing which it did fol

Fifteen Lives Lost.
Coleman, Tex. July 16.-About

fell on Hord's Greek, above this
place. A heavy rain had fallen
here and the creek was bankfull.
A little after O'Clock this morn

coming down the valley. Before
anyone could realize the impend-
ing disaster the whole valley was
filled with water and the creek was
nearly mile wide.

camps were washed away and many
lives were lost. 1t is known that
fifteen people were drowned, among
them John Euleisstine and j. ..

The South has gone ahead in the
faca of conditions which in the first
part of the decade were adverse to
progress here. The difficulties were
twofold, referring both to legislation
and financial conditions. The greater
part of the South's increase has c)me
lately, within the pact few years, and
it would have been much greater but
for the unfAvorable conditions in the
first part of the decade.
The ress)n for the S)uth's growth
is found in her marvellous wealth of
resources. Her hills, her fields and
her streams cftsr uuexampled induce
meats to the investor and developer.
Men with money have within the past
few years in greater numbers than
ever before begun to take advantage
ef these glittering opportunities. The
next ten years will witness a still more
remarkable development in this direc
ton.
The statee of the South have ont
stripped the States of new England
and many of the Western states New
Hams shire, Vermont, Maine, Nevada,
Kanses, Nebraska, Colorado aud other
States have all been passed by the

OFFICIAL LAUNDERING.
Which Will NuIIify the Vote on
One of the Proposed Amend
MentS.

There has been great deal Of con.
fusion and speculation in Columbia
and elsewhere, caused by the News
and C-urier editorial calling atten.
ton to the curious error in the
constitutional amendment relative to
municipal Indebtedness. There was
a clerical error, and the amendment
as printed amends section 5 Of article
4 and section of article s, instead of
section 5 of article 10 and section 7 of
articles. There are two sections that
ought to have been mentioned for the
amendment restricting municipal in
debtedness to 8 per cent. of the
assessed valuation of the property.
The section of article 10 that ought
to have been amended was not men.
toned. This leaves one section re-
stricting the bonded indebtedness en-.
tirely unchanged. This occurred in
transcribing from the original to the
enrolled revolution. The mistake OF
article A for 10 was carried from the
original manuscript to the enrolled
resolution, and the resolution III
printed in the statutes for 1900 con.
tains the error, and the tickets were
printed from the enrolled resolution
and the printed statutes-both ol
which are wrong in having article 4
when it should have been article 10

some of our reighbors had loaded
their wagons with cotton to take to
the market, but bearing Of the fall in
the p:ice they put them off, saying
that if the seed was worth % TO 80
cents early in the fall they were still
worth it. That's the way to do it,
brother farmers. You need not give
your seed away. You can use your
seed at homo to advantage. Compost
them and save your gusno bills, rather
than be hum-bugged in a treacherous
market. Farmers have some rights
which they can force spectators to
respect.
