veloped at the county stockade In Ca

the disease positively as smallpox. II
seems that upon the first appearance

All the news from different points up
Broad river indicates an unusual stage
of the water. the stream having been
fed by unprecedented rains all along
almost it's entire course. and it's sources
in the mountains Of North Carolina.
In a telephone conversation with Lock-
hart yesterday, the reporter learned
that the water was higher there than
has been known since 1886. 1t reached
its maximum height at about 1 o'clock
Wednesday morning, and was estima-
ted as being from to 10 feet above
hart means an extraordinary flood
higher up the stream. A part Of the
mill had to shut down little while on
account Of the high water: but only
for a few hours. Observers on the
banks Of the river saw floating down
trees, trash. dead animals and other
driftage. BY 10 o'clock yesterday
morning the water had about subsided
to the common stage.
