Floods Again.

It's a slight shower these days that
does no damage. Monday afternoon II
began raining and kept it up with
cloudy intermissions until Thursday
night. All the streams were greatly
swollen and the Watauga river raised
several feet. The temporary bridge at
Watauga showed signs OF going out and
a train of cars loaded with pig iron was
put upon it, but in a few hours the
stream became too strong and about 100
feet OF the structure passed off with the
tide. This tied up travel for several
days. Trains from the west were
turned back from Johnson City.
A trestle over Gap Greek on the L.

Col. G. b. HoH, prominent Ohio
politician, told the following story, to
illustrate the difference between then
and now in the republican party of
Ohio: "rhe solicitude Senator Hanna
has lately shown for the reelection of
Senator Foraker, is in striking contrast
to the attitude the junior senator assum-
ed toward his present colleague before
the Cleveland man had political fish of
his own to fry. The late Col. A. L.
Conger, formerly National Committee
man, and friend of James G.. Blaine,
told the story in series Of public let
ters in 1897, at the time Nh. Hanna was
making his campaign for election to
the Senate, after having been appointed
by Gov. Bushnell TO succeed John Sher-
man. The chief evidence Of Hanna's
hatred for foraker was shown during
one of the latter's campaigns for cleo
ton of governor-you will remember
that Foraker was three times a candi-
date for governor. Col. Conger was
Chairman of the State Committee and
Forakers CLOSETS political friend. Ac-
cording to Col. Conger's story, as Chair
man Of the State Committee, he went
TO Cleveland and raised money for the
.compaign, and among other men saw
Mr.. Hanna. Hanna was then unknown
in National politics, but he was--a rich
man and had been liberal contributor
to campaign funds. When approached
on this occasion, however, Col. Conger
said, he announced that he would give
.'not cent for Foraker" his declara-
ton being punctuated by adjectives
both picturesque and expressive. To
day, 1t is different, Hanna has prob
