HEAVY RAIN AT POMARIA.
Water Covers the Track and Delays
Passenger Train Several
Hours.

The following from the Columbia
Record Of Saturday will be Of inter
est This is not the first lime this
little branch has over' lowed at po-
maria. 1t is said that the railroad
crosses Ibis branch about fourteen
times in about five miles.
No great amount of damage was
done by this overflow though while
the water was over the railroad track
and well up in the town it was also
covering some good bottom land and
some good corn:
"rhe town of Pomariu, in New
berry county, was visited by storm
Of unusual intensity last night, ana
the heavy rainfall accompanying the
high winds, caused a small branch
running through the place to become
swollen, overflowing its banks and
Flooding the streets Of the town. The
water mt one stage was several feet
deep, and the floors Of the stores
and residences in the vicinity of the
depot were submerged. The people
were considerably excited while the
rainfall continued, fearing the waters
Of the stream would become higher
and higher, and perhaps do a great
amount Of damage. As it was, how
ever, very little damage was done,
for the storm passed off and the wat
er subsidized before an acute situation
resulted.
"Thc G.. \. & i. train, bound for
Columbia. which was scheduled TO an
rive about midnight, reached the city
this morning, after being held near
Pomaria FOR four hours on account of
the high water of the branch. The
stream follows Il course parallel to
the railroad for distance of about
five miles, beginning two miles above
the town and leaving the road three
miles below Pomara. When high
water was reached the engineer slow
ed down and the train proceeded at
a speed Of only few miles an hour,
as the water covered the track and it
WAS not known ut what minute it
would be necessary to brin" the ears
to Il stop on account Of a waShout
The train was preceded by il hand
car. whose progress Indicated that
the track was in safe condition.
"Whcn the train reached Pomaria
the passengers saw an unusual sight
Many of the residents Of the town
were gathered on the depot platform
which is several feet above the
ground, and was at the time, foot
or more above the high water.
"a mile below the town the pilot
car ran on to trestle, which was
trembling under the pressure of the
waters flowing beneath and it was
seen that it would be impossible for
the train to get across in safety, SO
the engineer cut off steam and
brought his ears to standstill The
working gang of that section was
summoned and put to work repairing
the damaged trestle. The beams
were reinforced and after several
hours dela.' the train proceeded to
Columbia, reaching the station about
day light.'

The mterdenominational S. S. con-

Thursday and Friday. The attend
ancc WAS not so large rs has been
but those present were enthusiastic
in the work and were greatly bene-
fitted by the work of the convention.
Only five of those appointed to
crc, ,!c discussions were present.
But others were asked to discuss the
topics. Two of the most instructive
subjects were the Cradle Roll and the
Home Department. Mr.. JAS. f. Ept
ing told of what had been done in
the school of which he is superin-
tendent for the Home Department
which is typical of what may be done
in any school.

ta:y of the Intercc ,ominat'onai S. S.
work. His last lecture on Friday
afternoon on "The Seven Lamps of
Instruction. was rare treat and
should have been heard by every S.
S. teacher in the county. In another
lecture on how to teach the lesson he
illustrated the teaching Of several les
>"nS. Che conv.'HiH u was fortunate
in having him present. Any 5. S.
worker who is in earnest in his or her
work would have been greatly benefit
ed by hearin" him.
1t was very much regretted that so
few Of the pastors of the county
found it impracticalble to be present
and help in the instruction Of the
workers. On the last day only one
preacher the pastor Of Bush River
was on hand and on the day previous
there were only two. This fact was
remarked on the floor Of the convcn-
ton. The Rev. Mr.. Cason said in be-
half of the ministerial brethren that
many CT them ar' engaged II special
meetings and others may be away for
the summer. An effort will be made
To hold the next meetin" at such Il
time that as many pastors rs poSSi-
BILE may find it convenient TO attend
arl they will be most urgently iHvit-
cd TO be present and lend their assist
ance and support.
The former officers were reelected

was accepted as the next place of
meeting.
The hospitality Of the good people

Most Of the delegates and visitors
were loath to leave. Doubtless when

rcntion again they will all vote ave-
