rain late Wednesday evening was
corker. In the lower edge Of the coun-
ty it was more moderate, but In the
section north of Gastonia 1t was ar
enormous down-pour Of rain. Kettle
Shoals creek on Mr.. Dave Fridays
place raised itself over the banks and
swept the earth from the bottoms. The
South Fork was out on lark and also
covered the bottoms. At bridge over
Little Long Creek beyond Dallas one
Of the abutments was washed away. A
parently torn loose was found yester-
day morning in the washout, but there
was no tidings Of horse or driver. The
Robinson branch-which flows under
the last fill of the macadam road near
Dallas-formed a great lake from hill
to hill of the water that could not flow
through the culvert as fast as 1t gath
cred. The surface of the road suffered
considerably from having some holes
cut out and top dressing washed Off
The fills also were considerably dam
aged in some places.
