GREAT FLOOD DAMAGE
Lower Section of the State Suffering
Heavily on Account ef Excessive
Rainfall.

A special from Goodwill TO the Col
umbia State of Monday gives this add
diiional report of damage done by
the excessive rainfall of the past
week: And IT keeps. on raining. Not
since the August storm Of 1893 nave
streams in this section been as high as
now. Church branch bridge that
cleared the water during the heavy
rains OF the past few years. has some
OF lis sllls washed out. and is impas-
sable. Mr.. :. w. Rafiield is there
with force of hands trying To repair
1t. Spring branch, near Mr.. j. b.
Warren 5 on the Story road. has float
ed the bridge SO that there is no
travel from that direction. For 10
years the writer has been Il close OBJ
server of the weather at this place.
and III all that time has never seen so
much water oi. the land ut one time
with the possible exception of the
1908 storm. And it has all fallen
since Tuesday morning. Friday after
noon between / and } clock it seem
ed as if the deluge had come. In 20
minutes, the already full streams. had
increased III height between six inches
and Il foot, covering land marks that
were never before seen under water.
For level country like
lhis II means rise of
10 TO 20 feet iii the hilly sections.
And IT rained until s o 'clcok Satur-
day morning. with almost no inter
missions. When any plowing can be
done even on the highest lands. ii is
impossible to predict. and bottoms will
be too wet TO plow for ut least two
weeks. Later: Church branch
bridge is down and caurot be repair
ed until the water subsidies.
