Damage to the Railroads.

The Southern and Seaboard Air
Line railroads have suffered terribly
ras the result of the floods OF Satur-
day and Sunday. The Southern's
bridge at Converse went down, as
also did its bridges over Lawson's
fork, Middle Tiger and Enoree
rivers. Several other bridges on the
Atlanta and Charlotte division be.
tween Spartanburg and Greenville
are damaged 80 badly as to be unsafe.
Several hundred yards of track at

and the trestle over Broad river was
damaged. Traffic between Columbia
and Greenville had to be suspended
The only way the Southern had Of
reaching Atlanta from Charlotte is
by way of Columbia to Augusta and
thence over the Georgia railroad.
The Seaboard's bridge over Sandy
river, between Chester and Carlisle,
went down, and the Seaboard is using
the Sopthern's track from Chester
to Columbia, and thence over the
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens
road to Clinton, where it strikes its
own line again. The Immediate
damage to the Southern is hardly
less than ont' million dollars, and Il
will be weeks if not months before
the damage is repaired sufficiently to
warrant the complete resumption OF
traffic over the regular routes. The

Preserve the Forests.

The floods in the up country ought
to revive interest in the Appalachian
forest preserve bill which is before
Congress. The denudation of our
lands resulting from the destruction
of forests is the direct cause of an
nual floods in the rivers which bring
about the loss of millions of dollars
of property, and unless the cutting
down of. the mountain forests is
stopped, the floods and destruction
will grow worse in the future. The
preservation of the Appalachian
forests is of the greatest financial
importance to six States, and it would
seem that with renewed efforts Con-
gress could be brought to see tho
great Importance and necessity of
making an adequate appropriation.
Millions of dollars are given to irri-
cation purposes in the West and the
demand of six Southern States for
protection against annual floods is
equally as pressing. In debates al
ready had on the Appalachian bill
several Senators and members of the
House of reputation and influence
have spoken favorably of it, and an
active campaign in it's behalf in the
next Congress would doubtless prove
successful. The terrible flood in the
up country would be telling object
lesson in behalf the bill. Even
cloud bursts (Which are unusual, or,
at least, not common visitations,)
would be less destructive in their
effects if the land was not bare of
trees.
While the preservation of the
mountain forests is a pressing neces-
sity, even its accomplishment will
not be all that is required. Indi-
vidual owners Of land everywhere
ought to realize that the indiscrimi-
nate cutting down of trees is a costly
error and will be sure to bring about
disastrous results. Instead of de-
stroying they ought to know by this
time that it is their duty to encour-
age the growth of forests, for not
only do they prevent floods in large
measure, but they are reservoirs for
the storage of moisture which is use.

STR|BL|NG & HERNDON,
AttOrneVS-At-LaW,
A Mixed Recipe.

A fashionable young lady visited
a cookery school the other afternoon
where her attention was equally
divided between new dress worn
by an acquaintance and the directions
for making a cake. Upon returning
home she undertook to write down
the recipe for making the cake for
her mother, and the old lady was
paralyzed when she read:
"Take two pounds of flour, three
rows of plating down the front, the
whites of two eggs cut bias, a pint
of milk ruffled round the neck, half
pound currants with seven yards of
bead trimming, grated lemon peel
with Spanish lace fichu; stir we'll,
and add semi, fitting paletot with
visite sleeves, butter the pan with
Grazilian topaz necklace, and garnish
with icing and jetted passementerie.
Bake in moderately hot oven until
the overskirt is tucked from the
waist down on either side, and finish
with large satin bows"
Her mother said she wouldn't eat
such a cake, and she thought these
new-fangled ideas in cooking ought
to be frowned down.

Vic Montgomery is a Hustler.

Victor Montgomery, president of
the Pacolet Mills, is essentially the
man for the emergency thrust upon
him. A man of broad sympathies
and understanding, and of magnifi-
cent executive capacity, he lost no
time in administering to the needs
Of the people around him. Th ere
was no question of money to stand
in the way. His people needed doc=
tors and medicines and comforts !;
his assistants we're instructed to se-
cure them if money could do so. He
was everywhere, sympathizing ten
derly with the bereaved, ministering
to the injured, thinking entirely Of
the losses of the others and not at
all of the money loss to himself. In
the midst of all the problems facing
him at New Holland, he stopped
long enough to send his check for
$500 to the Gainesville committee.
1t was entirely unsolicited nobody
would have thought of asking him
for aid. After getting those people
housed, he turned his attention to
the needs of the employees of the
other mill, which must necessarily be
closed for weeks, and arranged to
give them work at the mill, working
out the details of transportation of
the men, women and children back
and forth by the electric line so
transportation would be no burden
upon the employees. Nothing was
forgotten by him, nothing left undone
that human agency could accom-
plish. No wonder the citizens of
Gainesville are singing the praises
of Mr.. Montgomery.-Atlanta Con-
stitution.

Germany is a large purchaser of
meats from this country. The pro-
posed German tariff, it is estimated
will reduce our meat exports to that
country by fully 25 per cent, Should
it become necessary for the United
States to retaliate we would be able
TO cripple Germany far more than
the proposed German tariff would
affect this country and the knowl-
edge OF this fact, it is believed, will
cause German statesmen to hesitate
about adopting this feature of the
ne% tariff.

FOR
&c, FOR ROSE.
. Quisi Victory for
the Railroad
Company.

That trial lawyers learn to
read out of iuries things the
jurors themselves do not ina
gine exist is demonstrated in
half the important cases tried.
AS an instance, last night,
while the jury in the Rose
Frisco case was out P. LSoper,
attorney for tho railroad, was
asked what he expected. His
first confession was that exper-
ience had taught him to never
expect anything better for the
company in such cases than 2
hung jury. In this case, he said
the plaintiff was not entitled to a
verdict, but he would probably
get one for a-dollar, carrying
the costs of the case. AS a mat
ter of fact Rose got judgment
for one cent, though on the first
ballot, before discussion. nine
of the jury were for a verdict
for the defendant.
An incident which initiated
against Rose was the fact that
since the wreck occurred five
years ago, he had, so far as the
evidence indicated, submitted
to little if any treatment by
specialists for the troubles for
which he claimed damage.
