To Operate Rockingham Coal Minis

To the Editor: I notice some time ago
in the Winston Journal that a Mr.. Thomas
Of R~eidsville, N. c., had leased coal mines
on the Wade land in Rockingham county,
n. c., near Leaksville. If those mines were
to be worked it would save thousands Of
dollars to the State of North Carolina,
which are now being sent to other States
for coal. They were worked during the
Civil War and the coal was found to be
very fine and in large quantities at that
time.
Danville. Va, was the nearest point to
a railroad that it could be carried to
which IS a distance of about twenty-five
miles, as the mines were near the river.
The coal was boated to the railroad,
which made it not very profitable, but now
there is a railroad within less than three
miles of the mines and a road nearly to
them.
We are in hopes that the day is not
far distant when those mines will be
| work, so that we can get our coal
nearer HON and for less money.

BRIDGES AND BUILDINGS GO.
Thousands Ct Bales Of Cotton and Yarn in the
surging Waters.
(By the Associated Press.)

Charlotte, n. c., June 6.-The heavy
rains have resulted in an incalculable loss
to property between here and Spartan
burg, S. c., along the line Of the South
crn Railway. 1t is reported that a num-
Der of lives have been lost. Five cotton
mills AVE been washed away, three
bridges on the Southern Railway are lost
and two others are badly damaged, and
telephone messages say that twelve bodies
have been seen floating in the Pacolet
River.
Early this morning tidings of distress
began to reach this city, and each report
indicated great injury to the Southern
and to many industrial interests that are
located between Charlotte and Spartan
burg.
Three bridges on the main line of the
Southern have been swept away and all
buildings in the vicinity of the mills. The
bridge over LaWson's Fork of the Pacolet
River near Spartanburg has gone. 1t had
ore span and was 142 feet long.
The bridge over Tiger River is destroy
cd. 1t had three spans and was 142 feet
long.
The bridge over North Tiger cannot be
used. It is damaged, though the full ex-
tent of the injury cannot be ascertained.
The big bridge over the Pacolet River
six or seven miles this side of Spartan
burg is said by railway officials to be very
unsafe. 1t is still standing against tho
fierce tide, but is badly damaged and is in
a very serious condition.
The bridge over the Enoree River just
south of Spartanburg has been carried
away.
Pacolet mills, Numbers 1 and 2 near
Spartanburg were washed away this
morning, causing a loss which President
montgomery, of the company, says will
aggregate a million dollars.
Twelve bodies were seen floating past
the mills on the flood and two persons,
names unknown, were drowned at the
Pacolct Mills. The hotel and Presby-
terrain Church at Pacolet were also wash
ed away.
The river was flooded by the inccssant
rains and first mill No. 1 was carried away
and 4 short time after No. 2, while
the third plant is in imminent danger,
the river rising rapidly.
A big warehouse containing 1000 bales
of cotton and 1000 bales of yarn also were
destroyed and the goods carried down
stream. 1t is estimated that altogether
$500 bales of cotton and 1000 bales OF
cloth were destroyed.
: The Pacolct Mills are among the largest
plants in the South, belonging to the same
company, whose plant was destroyed al
Gainesville, Ca, last week. They man
ufacturc brown sheetings and drills. They
operate $3.50 spindles, 2,16O looms and
400 cards. The capital is 500, 900: j. II

a thick brick wall, is still standing, but it
IS very shaky and may collapse at any
time. The boiler room is gone but the
smoke stack IS yet staining. The dam
at No. 8 is intact. All the machinery in
this mill is ruined.
At Glendale four warehouses filled with
cotton mad cotton products were swept
away along with the dam across Lawson
Fork and the trestle of the city electric
railway. The mill at Glendale was not ma
terially damaged.
At Converse the main building of the
Clifton factory collapsed and the water
rose till the second floor of the mill was
four feet deep and forty or fifty feet
above the ordinary water mark. The Con-
verse Mill is utterly demolished, nothing
standing except the picker room, machine
shop engine room and smoke stack.
President Twichell could not estimate
the loss tonight. He has not been able yet
to visit the ruins of the plants.
The Whitney Mills on Lawson's Fork
were damaged by the heavy rise of the
water and some houses and a steel bridge
ut that point were swept away. At tho
Tucapau Mills the water rose to the sec,
ond floor Of the building and considerably
damaged the machinery.
