The most disastrous flood ever
known in the history of Southwest
Virginia, if not of the State, occurred
in this section last Saturday morning.
The rain began about 1890 Satur-
day morning, and continued to fall
in torrents until about o'clock.
There was no wind. but steady
downpour of rain. The creeks,
branches and the river rose rapidly,
until they became raging torrents
sweeping every thing before them.
By 10 o'clock Saturday reports began
to come in from different sections,
but it was not until Sunday and Mon
day that the people of the town and
community began to fully realize
damage had been done by the flood,
After it is all over now the results
are not definitely known, and proba.
bly, never will be. Certainly true 1t
is that the reports OF damage done in
this section have not been over esti..
mated. One conservative man who
has travelled over portions of the
county estimates the damage to
roads, farms aud farm houses at a
half million dollars. The most Sc
rious damage is in the
WEST END OF THE COUNTY.
At Liberty Hill great damage was
done. The store house and goods
of j. ID. HARRISON was injured. and
his dwelling house almost washed
away. His goods were injured by
water which stood deep all over his
store house. The store porch was
washed away and his dwelling house
undermined. Reese Gillespie, near
by, lost blacksmith shop, in which
were several pieces of valuable farm
ing machinery. The family OF Mr.
Bowling were rescued by means ot
ropes. DR.. Painter lost crib and 6
large quantity Of corn and all along
down the creek barns, fences and
houses were moved or washed away
entirely. Jno. g, Bundy says that
it will take $5OO.OO to remove the
rocks, trees and debris which slc
down from the mountain on his land
to say nothing of the damage don,
his crops. The roads in the vicinity
of Liberty hill are almost impassibl,
for horses. The mail carrier, coming
over the road Tuesday, was compel
ed to get down several times anc
lead his horse.
TWO CHILDREN DROWNED.
The saddest casualty of the foo,
occurred on the Higginbotham "a, 4
a few miles West of town. Pari
Vandyke, with his wife and si
children. lived 10 two story hous
en- the farm. Without warning tn
water, which had accumulated in tb
hollow above his house, burst ava,
and wall of water, logs. rocks &c
came down upon his house, carryin
everything away. Two of his c:sild
rem were drowned, and O; her men
/ bers of the family so seriously iniure
/ that il isfeared that some of ther
2 will die. Mrs, Vandyke, who's
health was delicate, was buffete
J about by the water and Sc. :ousl
bruised and injured. The body {
one of the drowned children W,
. carried at least mile away. AT
POUNDING MILL AND CEDAR BLUFF
the damage was serious. At th
former place, on the Branch, som
II distance from the town, mother an
e two children were swept ava,

Vanilla Bean for the
Hawaiian F armer.

Possibilities of introduce

T sss''. is ., sss At ,.ss
gagged in the growing of~the vanilla bean
in Tahiti and who is now conducting
investigations into the possibilities of
starting the same industry in Hawaii on
"a large scale. w. S. Rutherford, an
American school teacher who went to Ia
hiti twelve years ago, began raising the
beans and for many years has exported
several hundred tons of them to the,
United States annually.
A. H. Lewis of Honolulu, who recently
came back from Tahiti after a dozen
years spent there, has been deputized by
Mr.. Rutherford to look up the chances
for the bean in Hawaii. 1t is his desire
to cooperate with capitalists rather
than go into the project alone, and al
though there is little expense connected
with the enterprise, yet Mr.. Rutherford
expects to raise the vanilla bean in Ha-
wall on scale commensurate with the
present demands for it, and would neces-
sarily have to have financial backing.
Mr.. Lewis said last evening to an Ad-
vertiser reporter that Tahiti was now
exporting about 800 tons of the cured
beans every year. He considers the eli
l.
hili as far as growing the beans is con-
cerned, and has SO informed Mr.. Ruther-
ford. 1t has been paying industry in
Tahiti.
At present the beans are admitted into
the United States from Tahiti free of
duty. If they We're produced in market
able quantities in Hawaii, duty would
be added and make it more
expensive to the planters there. The
raising of the bean is so simple of cult
walton that even children of the fami-
lies can assist, says Lewis. The flowers
of the vine have to be inoculated by gum
taken from the flowers This has to be
done each day. If not, the flower drops
to the ground. The curing of the beans
is also simple process.
IS for the land required, Mr.. Lewis
sta es that rocky uncultivated ground is
admirably adapted for it's cultivation, .es-
pecially hiilsides, where there is a GER
tain degree of shade every day. The
ground must also be moist There is
ferent Islands of the group which can
be used for this purpose. The vines will
grow in rocky soil where little else
would thrive. In Tahiti it takes eighteen
months for the first crop, and the full
crop is taken off every three years.
Three hundred pounds of cured beans
per acre is the average yield.
Much has been said in favor of making
the industry one of the features of agri-
cultural development in the Hawaiian
Islands, but few people have taken hold
Of the matter to such an extent that it
has been brought to any prominence.
The Commissioner of Agriculture has
been in favor of the cultivation of the
bean, and has written much in its favor
Mr. Rutherford is known to be an ex-
pert in vanilla bean cultivation, and his
vide experience in its production in Ia
1itf will be valuable to Hawaiian pro-
ULCERS.

CURIOUS QUESTION
IN u. S. COURT
A Chinese Admits on Witness
Stand He Committed
Bigamy.

A curious question was developed in
the United States District Court yester-
day during the examination of Vim
Quock Leong, whose habeas corpus pro-
lceedings to procure the release of Vim
Chun Shat, a comely Chinese woman
now detained on Quarantine Island by
the Federal authorities, has occupied the
attention of the court for the past ten
days.
United States District Attorney Baird
yesterday morning asked that the case
be referred back to Commissioner Rob-
lnson for the purpose of taking further
testimony as to the petitioners alleged
marriage with the Chinese woman Mr..
Baird stated that he had information to
the effect that although the petitioner
claimed Vim .Chun Shat as his wife, yet
he had married a Hawaiian woman dur
ing his residence in Hawaii, who had
died about a year ago.
This was a bombshell to the petition
er's case. as the action will be argued
and decided upon it's merits, and not
upon the question of Jurisdiction. Vim
Quock Leong was placed upon the stand,
and under the fire of questioning put to
him by Colonel Baird admitted that he
had married Hawaiian, although
claiming to have married the Chinese
woman eleven years ago. Mr.. Magoon
SAID the court should take into consider
alton the marriage customs of China in
deciding the judicial merits of the case.
The Chinese woman has admitted that
she has child eleven years of age, but
that she did not wish to bring it to Ho-
no;ulu because "of its tender age and
because it would be frightened by the
voyage"
AS to the jurisdiction phase Judge Es-
tee said that the latest decisions and
the latest law We're to the effect that he
did not have jurisdiction in this case.
But he invited arguments on the matter,
which will take place this morning at
10 o'clock.
Colonel Baird said yesterday with ref
erence to the case: This looks like a.
marriage of convenience, but this will
not affect the jurisdiction. When the
petitioner married Hawaiian wife there
should have been testimony to the eff
feet that there were no legal entangle-
ments preventing such union. He is
presumed not to have violated any law,
which he did when he married the Ha-
waiian woman. The presumption is that
he had legal right to marry the Ha-
waiian woman. Before the other woman
could enter he has to prove he is mer
chant. and secondly that this woman
has a legal right to land, and that she
was his legal wife,
