AFTER THE PIEDMONT FLOOD.
Yesterday in spartanburg and the
Vicinity.
First Trains and Mail Since Saturday.

Spartanburg, June 9.-The first train
that has left Spartanburg for the out
side world since Saturday morning
left this afternoon at 5 o'clock for
Charlotte. A bridge over the Laurens
Fork, two miles north of the city,
has been constructed and train came
in from Charlotte at 4.30p. m., return
ing at p. m. Many passengers who
had been detained for several days were
on the outgoing train. Another
means of communication has been
established in tramway at the site
of the Tiger River Bridge, on the
Charleston and Western Carolina
Railroad, where passengers are being
transferred. Until this afternoon the
people of Spartanburg had not seen any
out-of-town newspapers or received
any mail since Saturday.
The thing of chief interest in con-
nection with the disaster now is the
relief of those at Clifton who have
been deprived Of their homes and
belongings. The money collected
for this relief is in the hands of a
committee il Spartanburg, who will
use it where it will do the most
good. Up to the present the means of
distributing aid have not been we'll
organized, as such state of demora-
lization and confusion has prevailed
among the people at Clifton that it
has been hard to ascertain their exact
needs and how to relieve them. Orders
have been in the company stores at
Clifton to supply pressing needs and
charge to the committee. Mr.. ". j.
Snyder, the Baptist minister. Mr.
Putnam, the Methodist minister, and
Mr.. ". S. Hogan, the school super
intendent, have been rendering much
aid in finding out the needs of the peo-
pie and ministering to them.
The trolley line being down and the
Southern Railroad bridge being down
between here and Clifton tsere has
been no means of sending to Clifton
the large amount of clothing and pro-
visions collected in Spartanburg.
This, though, will be promptly sent
out in the morning since the Southern
bridge is now up.

WHEN TO BE BORN.
Precious Stones Are Associated With
 the Signs of Nativity.

Precious Stones Are Associated With
 the Signs Of Nativity.
 Old saws and superstitions associate precious stones with the signs of na- tivity. According to the old astrologers, the import of the different precious stones is altered somewhat when they are considered with reference to the planets, and only certain of the vast array of stones have potent influences. Thus classified, May June and Decem- Der are the months most lucky to be born in-lucky, that is, so far as ma terial bene%,ts are considered. But other months augur good character in- fluences, and no month of the r but offers some inducement to the mortal born within it's orbit. Even October, with whose covering influences the opal is interwoven, endows her children with hope and strong optimistic leanings.
 Birthday stones a"e fashionable just now. Januarys child has the garnet for a birthstone With it 80 the at tributes of integrity, generosity, and the power to attract many friends. Februarys nesling must wear anne thysts. The birth augury is mild, pacific disposition, refined tastes and a smoothly, uneventful course through life. The blcodst0he is identified with the career of the person born in March. It signifies wisdom, courage, self-control- all the dominating qualities.
 Aprils child has for birthstone the diamond. typical of innocence and high mindedness. The emerald has to do with tne child in May. It is most favorable natal stone, signifying future abound ing ill love and happiness. June has the agate as keystone to long life, wealth and felicity, with no modifying auguries to cloud the horoscope. July has for guiding star the ruby, imparting good temper, calmness, patience-the temper ament that is. content with small share of life's vanities. August is coupled with the sardonyX and implies for that person born within its sphere strong love of family and many of the domestic virtues Pride is indicated but not arrogance. The sapphire, for September, insures its bairn a fine sense of justice and a philosophic tempera- ment.
 October has the opal for birthstone. Its wards are born optimists, looking ever on the bright side and comfortable companions 10 live with. It is believed that most of the indomitable enthusiasts and visionaries come in to the world in October. The child born in November is by nature loyal. The topaz is his rul- ing influence, signifying warm hearted ness cnd proneness to put sentiment before business. December has the turquoise for a talisman. Children born within these 31 days are endowed with ability for getting on in the world. Success is their manifest destiny, not to be avoided. The old treatises on birth stones and their meanings are set forth i,i the involved, old fashioned language that has gathered ceremony as it has changed tongues in many translations. London rid Bits.
