Carried Away-Handle
Works Flooded.

The annual overflow Of the Lit
tie Sequachee River occurred Sat-
urday, and as usual great damage
has been done. The farms along
the river have been badly washed,
practically running the wheat crops
and carrying away the fences.
-Four bents of the railroad trestle
near handle works were carried off
and railroad traffic stopped until
Monday. The plant Of the Sequa-
chic Handle Works was submerg
ed second time, the water being
five inches higher than before, and
great damage done to finished stock
though the loss is not so great as a
year ago.
The river has been high on ac.
count of the continued rains, and
Friday heavy rain fell increasing
in volume the mass of water till a
general inundation was the result,
At l o'clock Saturday morning cit
izens were hastily summoned to
assist in removing families who
were in danger. The families of
John Henderson, and John Stans-
bury were removed with difficulty,
their houses being in the midst of
a seething mass of angry waters.
Riley Ables while fording water
breast deep, and bearing a child of
the Stansbury family, was carried
off his feet by the current and
drawn against a wire fence and
both he and the child had a mar
row escape from drowning.
The farm of the Sequachee Cons
pany is in wrecked condition
and the new fence replacing the
one washed out last year complete,

five stands of bees washed away
A man named Green was awaken
ed by the water coming up in his

At the Sequatcbie Handle Works
the scene of devastation was much
the same as Of last year The wat

ing departments till it reached
three feet, piling finished and un

debris into o mixed mass. In th,
stock room between 1900 and 15O(

principal loss is to finished stock
and while other damage was don
it was not so excessive as last yea
when a "norther" froze things NJ
