A DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD
Mondays Rain Storm in Mitchell
Played Havoc With South d
Westerns New Track, Washing
Away Nine Miles Of II.

Ashesille Cor. Charlotte Observer.
a letter received b. an Asheville
lady from Bakersville tells of L de-
struetive flood that visited the county
seat of Mitchell county Monday.
The writer of the letter says that the
rain began falling cary Monday and
that during the entire day there was
continuous down:,our Of water.
"At times during tic day." the let
ter read, "rain fell in great torrents
and one could scarcely see a dozen
yards distant, The rain was accom-
panied BY thunder and lightning;
trees were uprooted; large bou1ders
were sent crashing into the valley;
the whole thing was weird and there
was 10 little uneaslness and alarm" "
1t was stated that q residence
close to the banks Of Cane creek, the
stream that runs through the center
Of Bakersvllle, was washed away by
the flood and another residence badly
damaged. The bridge at Bakersville
was carried away and a report re-
ceived at that place, according to the
letter, was to the effect that nine
miles Of the South & Western track
was washed away. Much damage was
done to farmers in the Bakersville
section. 4 great quantity of feed
stuff with barns and outbuildings
were swept away. There was no re-
port Of loss of life. The road leading
into Bakersville from the South &
Western station, two and half miles
distant, was rendered totally impas-
sible and mails were carried to and
from Bakersville by man OH foot. The
| one days rain Monday, it is said,
| caused greater flood than the one
of 1901 when Cane creek carried away
| some % residences III its sweep and
Toe river, near by, was swelled to a
! depth of go feet.
The flood of 1901 left but one
house on the banks Of the stream at
Bakersville This is or was the resi-
dence formerly owned and occupied
by Mis-. L. S. Rorison, Of Asheville
1t was this lone residence, d structure
Of two stories, that was carried away
Monday by the rush Of waters. Wher
the floods Of May, 1901, visited Ba
kersville this residence on the creel
bank was alone left standing. 1t was
battered and torn, however, and {
picture taken after the flood shows /;
great tree rammed through the uppe
story. The water reached the secont
floor and an uprooted tree carried
down stream by the torrents wa
hurled against one end of the house
penetrating the outer walls and bury
ing itself in the structure. Mrs. Will
son, whose residence was badly dam
aged or destroyed by the food o
Monday, is relative Of W. S. Hy
ans, Of this city.
