The FLOOD AROUND ST. LOUIS.
Mississippi Reaches Highest Water
Mark Ever Made Officially.

st. Louis June 9.-The Mississippi
flood. which began to recede last
night, after reaching stage of 37.5
feet, began rapid rise today, estab-
fishing the highest official water
mark ever recorded in st. Louis The
rise was rapid after the dawn of day,
the water creeping up from 81 feet,
steadily increasing until at noon the
stage had reached 37.7. From that
time until tonight the river remained
stationary. It is estimated that 5000
refugees have found shelter in St.
Louis and vicinity, and that 1900
people are still living in flooded homes
in Granite City, Venice and Madison.
A supply boat has been outftted and
will make daily trips to relieve suffer
ing.
The food situation in East st. Louis
is still critical. Last night it was be-
lieved that the food had been con-
quered and work on the levees was
stopped, but the additional rise OF
today caused work on the levees to be
resumed and all business was aban-
doned once more.

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Generally, unsettled weather with
light scattered showers prevails over
the whole cotton belt, except the
northeastern portion where the wealth
er is clear. A general rain over New
England has relieved the long existing
drought in that region. Heavy rain
fall occurred in east Georgia and Mis-
sissippi. The barometric pressure
continues below normal over the
Southern half of the country, but
without any we'll defined storm forma-
tion. Temperatures about stationary
over the whole country, and weather
conditions are favorable for the staple
crop everywhere except in the Dakotas
where it is too cool. The highest
temperature was 90 at Portland, Ore
gon, the lowest 46 at Bismark.

Charlotte, N. c., June "a special
to the Observer from Spartanburg, S.
c., says:
Mayor Arch B. Calvert this after
noon gave out the following: "The
people of Spartanburg and the suffer
ers from the recent floods in this
county have been profoundly touched
by the generous contributions that
have come SO promptly from all parts
of the country to relieve distress
among the sufferers from the food at
the mills in this county. These con-
tributions have been so large that it
is now thought by the relief COM
mittee here that further funds will
not be needed. :"

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The week ending a. m., Monday
June 9Th had a mean temperature of
about u degrees, which is 6 degrees
below normal. The winds were light
easterly, except high in places, accom-
panying thunder storms. There was
more than the usual amount OF cloudi-
ness.
The incipient drought was broken in
all parts except Georgetown county.
The average precipitation for the
entire State was 3.25 inches. The fol-
lowing excessive amounts were report
ed: Anderson 5.65, Batesburg 3.45,
Chester 4.5O, Columbia 5.82, Green
vile $50, Greenwood 1853, Little

wood 500, st. Matthews 7.90, State
burg 1872, Seivern 5.s3, Spartanburg
6.37, Sumter 3.63 inches. Owing to
interrupted mail communication, re-
ports from the extreme western parts
of the State are missing. These exces-
sive rains did great damage by wash
ing lands, and flooding bottom-lands.
All crops are destroyed on bottom
lands in the western part of the State
by foods. The ground is too wet in
all parts to permit cultivation, and
fields are becoming foul. On the
night of the LIST, damaging hail occur
red in Abbeville, Barnwell, Hampton,
Lexington, Newberry, Oconee, Orange
burg, Richland, Saluda and Sumter
counties, causing the total destruction
of hundreds of acres of corn, tobacco
and some cotton as we'll as ruining
many acres of uncut oats. The rainfall
was Of great benefit to crops where it
was not excessive and where not ac-
cempanied bysshail, causing marked
improvement in their prospects.
Cotton improved in stand, color and
growth. Chopping and cultivation
made slow progress. Lice have ap-
pared in few places. The plants are
generaly small, but are healthy. The
formation of squares has been noted.
Sea-island cotton is thriving.
The rains improved corn material
ly, but it needs cultivation and sun
shine. Some being laid by in the
southeastern counties. The stands
have improved, but worms continue
troublesome. Tobacco is still small
and is buttoning low, although num-
Der of places report improvement in
both conditions. Many acres were
totally ruined by hail, especially in
Richland county. Rice is growing
well in the more southerly districts,
but is unsatisfactory in the George
town district. The crop as whole.
needs sunshine. June sowing under
way. Wheat and oats harvest was in
terrupted by rains, while much is in
the shock and damaged by the wet
weather: Much of that that is uncut
was lodged by the heavy rains and high
winds. A general improvement is In
dicated in the minor crops, except that
the wet weather has caused peaches
TO rot as they ripen.

STILL LOOKING FOR THE DEAL


The Clifton people are still wander
ing up and down the river in a dazed
condition, looking in an aimless and
bewildered way for some signs Of their
lost ones. It is hard to determine
exactly how many have been drowned.
Whole families just moved into the
town we're swallowed up in the cur
rent. Their neighbors knew little
about them. Those who live there
and knew the location of the houses
and the number of inmates make vari-
Gus estimates Of the drowned. These
estimates vary from forty-eight to
sixty. So far only seven bodies have
been recovered. Two we're dug up out
of the sand today just below the Cliff
ton No. 2 Mill. One was identified
as julius Biggerstaf, the principal
means of Identification being his false
teeth. The other was supposed at first
to be Jimmie Hall, lad of s or 9
years, whose whole family of seven
or eight went down, but it was after
ward said that it was Lawson Waddell.
Another body, that of a woman, was
found down the Pacolet River in the
nieghborhood of Jonesville. This was
sent up on the train and carried by Mr..
Kennedy, of the Clifton Company, to
Converse station this afternoon. The
body was SO swollen and mangled that
no one could identify it, so it was bur-
led in the cemetery unknown. Albert
Green, IS years old, who was rescued
from a tree on Saturday morning died
this morning. 1t is supposed that a
number of bodies are buried beneath
the debris Of Mill No. 2, as just above
there about dozen were carried
down. They are supposd to bave been
washed down against portion of the
mill just before it collapsed.
A few of the Clifton people are pre-
pairing to move away to various mills
in South Carolina and North Caro-
lima. AS soon as trains are running
regularly quite number will move.
Several agents are on the ground
soliciting them. The Southern Rail
road has offered, to transport any of
them free of charge, and certificates of
transportation are now being pre-
pared under the direction of the Rev.
Mr.. Snyder.
The board of directors of the .Pacolet
Manufacturing Company met this aft
ernoon to consider the calamity which
has befallen them. A resolution was
passed calling for meeting of the
stockholders On July IA, to consider
the question of rebuilding Pacolet
Mills Nos. / and 2. Another resolu-
tion was passed authorizing and
directing President Montgomery to
have repaired and put into operation
the No. 3 Mill. This will take about
sixty days. AS has been stated the
contract for the repairing of this mill
has been let to Messrs. Cutting & Co.
All the directors of the company
were present, Messrs. Milliken, Of
New York, Waring, of Baltimore, and
Taylor, Of Charleston, having come
in. The other directors live here.
The Clifton directors have not yet
been able to have meeting owing to
the inability of the out-of-town mem
bers to get here. 1t is only surmise
as to what they will do.
