Spartansburg, S. c. (SpcciaD.--A
,orrcntial rainstorm visited this region,
resulting in general destruction OF
lie and property. All the bridges and
trcstles on the main line of the South
crn Railway were washed away. The
greatest destruction OF lie and prop
crty occurred at the Pacolet, Clifton
and Glendale cotton mills.
Wires are down and reports conflict
ing, but it seems certain that IS or 80
people drowned, mostly mill operatives.
Hundreds OF people are homeless,
and 1000 or more thrown out OF employ
mcnt.
The Pacolet Cotton Mills Company
sustainS the heaviest property loss,
President Victor Montgomery estmat-
ing the loss to the plant at $I,e5o.ooo.
About 300 operatives in these mills are
thrown out OF work, and in few days
will be i'll need OF bread
A 6 o'clock it was noticed that the
water was rising rapidly i'll the Pacolct
river, but no special importance was at
tachcd to it by the mill operatives, who
began to form in line to enter the mills
AT Mills Nos and the water pres
sure soon became dangerous, the boiler
rooms were submerged and the work
men we're ordered back. a little later
the raging river struck Mill No. l.,
sweeping the plant entirely away.
The strong current then swept against
No ,, demolishing that mill and leav-
ing only the clothroom standing. The
big bridge over the Pacolet river, a
steel structure. was then carried away
by the flood which had burst through
the dams The warcroom. with nearly
1000 bales OF cotton and 1000 bales OF
domestic cloth. followed. all the cotton
being carried down stream.
AT Pacolct Mill No. 3 onc-half the
pickcr-room and five stories Oil the lett
side OF the long building were washed
away. The main building, supported
by thick brick wall. is still standing,
but is very shaky. and may collapse at
any time The boilerroom is gone, but
the smokcstack is yet standing The
dam at No. 3 is intact, All the ma
chincry in this mill is ruined.
At Glendale four warehouses filled
with cotton and cotton products were
swept away. along with the dam across
LawSonS Ford and the trestlc OF the
city electric railway. The mill at Glen
dale was not materially 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 dccp--4o or so feet above the
ordinary watcrmark The Converse
Mil is utterly demolished, nothing
standing except the picker-room build
ing, which is badly wrecked. The
Clifton Mill No 3 also lost its boiler.
room machine shops, engincroom and
smokcstack.
The Whitney mills on LawsonS Fork
we're damaged by the heavy risc OF the
water and some houses and steel
bridge at that point were swept away,
AT the Tucapau mills the water rose to?
the second floor of tho building and
onsiderably damaged the machinery.

CARS WILD DASH.
4 Dozen Passengers Injured by Tumble
Over Mountain.

Orange, N j. (SpeciaD.-Twelve per-
sons we're injured one critically, by
trolley car jumping the rails while dash
INC down the Orange mountain. That
others were not hurt was due to the
Iatencss of the hour, for every one
aboard received more or less serious
INJURIES. The car was standing on all
incline and the motorman had lett It,
taking the controller with him. 1t is
believed that the brake-chain broke. or
that some of the passengers released the
brake e-clutch. At any rate the car
started, and with ever-i increasing mo-
mentum dashed down the mountain.

The spirc was practically demolished,
while two immense blocks OF stone
crashed through the roof OF the church,
causing damage to the extent OF sew
eral thousands dollars. The Hanna
Mccormick Wedding is scheduled to
take place at the church. Investigation
by a representative OF the Hanna fam
liz later showed that temporary repairs
could be made, and no change i'll the

SONG OF THE DERELICTS

"From ocean to ocean we wander
From polar to tropical tide,
Alone and forlorn and forsaken,
The wraiths of our time faded pride.
Through the tumult and surge of the
tempest,
Wave beaten and battered we churn,
The ships of no name and no haven,
The ships that nhall never return -,,r-,
HxsaaS - ssIs
Up and down through the streets of the
cities
Go the men that are kin to lost ships,
The wreckage of old loves, time tattered,
The desolate ghosts of friendships.
Through the storms of the lifc-seas they
wander,
Wave tossed by the ccaseless unrest
Migrants, Stunned by their fortunate
brothers,
Till they drift to the Port of All Quest.
Frederick Arthur Palmer, in The Jour
nalist.

WANTS HOMES FOR BABIES.

The Kentucky Children's Home
Society have in their Receiving
Home several beautiful babies.
ranging from eight weeks to six
months old, for whom they are de-
sirous of finding good homes. At
this season of the year it is very
hard for US to find homes for ba-
bies whore they can get all the
fresh milk they need and fresh
country air. We oan place them
in the city, but we do not think it
wise to do so. Any one feeling an
interest in adopting or taking into
their home one of these little chill
dren will confer favor on the So

BRIDGE DAMAGED BY FIRE.

A portion of the Illinois Central
bridge spanning the Tennessee

causing considerable delay in
transportation.and serious loss TO

1t is estimated that the damage
to the railroad will be 100000, to
say nothing of loss of business
