tend later the awful tragedy, also
were aboard. The train left the
railroad gate at $50 o'clock. All
were in joyous spirits and after es-
corting Mrs. Mckinley aboard the
President appeared on the station
platform and chatted unconvention-
ally with the guests. He rejoiced
over the bright, sunshiny day as
evidence of pleasant times in store
before nightfal1.
The train arrived at the back sta
tion at Lewiston at 1907 O'Clock
The overhead wires of the Gorge
trolley did not quite extend to the
tracks where the train stopped, so
Mrs. Mckinley alighted and waited
for the passenger train to back away
and the trolley car to be pushed up
within reach. Mr. Scatcherd, Mr..
Han1lin and others merrily joined in
showing the cars along the track,
while the President and his wife and
MIR. Milburn laughed hear ti1y.
Once aboard the trolley cars the
party was carried to the bank of the
Niagara river and at 1926 O'Clock
started up the gorge. The Lake
Ontario boat from Toronto was
moored at the dock and the morning
trains were un1ading and receiving
hundreds of passengers of two coun-
tries, all of whom stopped to see the
President and his wife and waved
them a welcome and cheered them
on their way.
Peoples Welcome.
The party travelled up the Gorge
in four special cars. The Presi-
dents personal party rode in the
first car, an observation car with
open sides and big easy chairs. In
the first two seats sat the President
and his wife, and he pointed out the
beauties of Nature as they were re-
vealed. The President 1aughingly
geant Devine had cautioned the dip
lomats to keep their hands on their
pocketbooks when they alighted at
Niagara Falls. The cars Travelled at
moderate speed up the gorge, each
station along the route, the DEVILS
Hole and the Whirlpool, being deco
rated with flags and populated with
groups of tourists. Both flags and
people waved a welcome. In fact,
all along the way wherever people
appeared all was kindness and good
cheer and gladstone welcome. There
was no thought of impending trage-
dy or remote contemplation of an

We learn from some OF our friends
J over on Tyger and Enoree rivers that
! the heavy rains this week has swollen
| the two rivers to the highest point
that has been reached in forty-nine
years This was caused from the AK
traordinary heavy rains in Spartan
burg county, causing the tributary
streams to become ruging torrents as
the waters rushed to the rivers. The
rain was seen to be falling in Spar
tauburZ county some fve hours before
it reached Union, uiddle sec!i'n.
The rivers continued TO rise Wednvs-
day as this water was cmptitd into
them, until al The bottom lnnds were
overhJwed aud the waters began to
climb the hills. 1t is reported that
in some bottoms the water was at
least ten feet over the growing corn.
The McCravy covered bridge over
Tiger was fioalIy reached by the
rapidly rising waters, and it became
necessary to kuock of the sides of the
bridge to allow the waters to flow
through it in order to save the bridge
from being wa he'd away. The water
rose to Within few inches OF the
high "Cedar Bluff" bridge. The
crops on the bottom lands along both
Tiger and Enoree rivers are no doubt
all destroyed, also many cattle were
10 doubt caught in the bott M
pastures and drowned The rain in
this county was not sufficient to raise
the streams out Of their banks. The
water cane from up the country.
