Dams Swept Away.

The shadow. of the storm settled
over Spartanburg Friday night. 1t
gathered force until the proportions
of a giant cloudburst were reached
when the downpour from the clouds
swept away the dams, which in turn
settled into one vast swirling stream
which roared throughout the valley
where the mills were situated. At
this hour Zone p. m.) the waters are
roaring above houses and homes,
where Friday the spindle and the
loom were at work and thousand
laborers were busy. 1t is estimated
that the property loss will reach
$2,0O0,00O.
At Pacolet the following damage
has been reported: Mill No. 1 has
been washed completely away; mill
No. is totally destroyed. The dams
of three mills are swept away and
the waters rush unchecked through
the wide gap thus opened.
Almost Every Building Destroyed.
The warehouse of mill No. 1, with
it's total stock Of goods and cotton,
was swept away, while the hotel, the
leading churches and almost every
building in the little city has been
partially or totally destroyed. Mill
No. 3, at Pacolet, also has been de-
stroyed and Clifton mill No. 1 and
the Glendale at Clifton are reported
totally ruined. Wire communication
with that section is interrupted.
Victor NJ. Montgomery is the own
er of both the Pacolet mills at Spar
tanburg and that at New Holland,
Ca, which were so seriously crippled
by the tornado near Gainesville last

To Whom 1t rIay Concern.

There having recently appeared in
some reputable publications certain
advertisements of Catalogue Houses,
Mail Order Concerns, etc, offering
for sale Wheeler & Wilson Sewing
Machines, I'VE desire all to understand
that such advertisers are not agents
for the sale of our machines, that we
do not furnish machines to any but
our authorized agents for resale, that
such concerns cannot obtain Wheeler
& Wilson Sewing Machines for sale
except as they may pick up one now
and then in some surreptitious man
ner, that the object of such adverti-
sers is not to promote but to prevent
the sale of Wheeler g. Wilson Ma.
chimes by representing to customers
that some cheap machine of theirs is
just as good as ours, and that, so far
as our machines are concerned, the
effect of such advertisements is to
mls)ead the public.

The Democratic County Commit
tees of Accomac and Northampton
will meet at Eastville next Monday,
as appears from notice of county
chairman of Accomac in another
column, to nominate candidate to
fill the unexpired term of the late
Senator LeCato. Such action on the
part of the county committees, is in
accordance with the State primary
plan, when there is only one candi-
date for the nomination, and Mr..
Ben Il. Guuter being the only one at
this time for the Senate, of course,
the name of no other candidate will
be considered at the meeting of the
county committees at Eastville. But
while the nomination of Mr.. Gunter
is foregone conclusion, it will
doubtless be gratifying to him, to
have the endorsement of as many
members of the committees Of both
counties as can conveniently be
present at the meeting.

In an article recently published ia
the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser, by Mr.. John Shelton Williams,
the following figures are given show
ing the great resources of the South
and her advance along all lines in
the last twenty years:
From 1880 to 1900 the population of
the Southern States increased from
1915, 900 to 1926 900, an increase of
40 per cent.
The census figures show that from
1880 to 1900 the value of farm pro-
ducts increased from $500, 000,O 900 to
to $1,271 100000, or about 100 per
cent.
In 1880 the Southern States pro-
duced 397, 301 tons of pig iron, or near.
ly as much as was made in the whole
country in 1900.
In 1880 these States mined 6,O49. All
tons of bituminous coal; last wear
these same States took out of the
earth nearly 60,000,000 tons.
The number of spindles in South>
ern cotton mills has increased from
667. 754 in 1880 to nearly eight million
spindles at the present time, and the
Southern mills are now practically
producin g as much cotton cloth as
the mills in the North.
There is every reason to hope and
believe that the progress OF the CONS
ing twenty years will exceed that Of
the twenty we have just completed.

A settlement of the claim OF Vlr

The House of Delegates Thursday
afternoon voted to remove Judge
Clarence ]. Campbell from the Office
of judge of the county court of Am
herst by the recorded vote of 63 to Is
The people of the State demanded
his removal in way to leave no
doubt as to the action of their repre-
sentatives and the result causes no
surprise. Judge Campbell however
was not the only one guilty of wrong
doing 10 bis county, as was disclosed
by the evidence at his trial, and it Is
to be regretted that in removing him
from Office the Legislature did not
have the power also to punish Others,
both for and against him in his coun-
ty, who were shown to have been
equally guilty with him in gross
violations of the laws Of the State.

Hon. John s. Wise has been hear0
from again and if still 1.-The only
friend of the coored people" he has
changed his views as to what is best
for them. In speech made in New
York a few days ago he said in part
there is only one solution OF the
negro question, the nation must re-
cede from the position taken by it on
the matter of negro suffrage; the
nation must remit to the State con-
troll of the suffrage issue" The speech
is a curiosity and the reason for the
change in his opinion is not glveh'
but the surmise is, that the receipts
from the hat, passed around Tor MIN
of late, have not been satisfactory
