JOHN M'NATT POWERS.
A Good Man Gone to His Reward.

The subject of this sketch was born
April 18th, 1925, in Robson county,
and died happy in the triumph of liv-
ing faith at the residence of James w.
Boone, near Lumberton, July 10, 1908.
The funeral services were conducted by
his pastor, Rev. F. F. Eure, and Rev. E.
M. Hoyle, pastor of Lumberton Method
lst church, attended by large concourse
OF Borrowing relatives and friends. Yet
we sorrow not as those who have no
hope. Mr.. Powers life was an exem-
plary one in every respect. Very early
in life he accepted Christ as his Savior,
and joined the Methodist church at Re
gan s, removing his membership to
Barker's when that church was organ
lied and was a faithful and devoted
member of that church till death.
His life was characterized by agentle
sweetness and sunny, cheerful fervency
that made one feel that it was a bene-
dlction to be in his presence. He was
a great sufferer for many years but
bore his Affections with Christian forti-
tude and patience and often when
friends and loved ones would visit him
he would talk of death and his eternal
home until he would become so happy
he would shout for joy and his very
"countenance would shine with beams Of
glory. ~:
He was twice married: first on Sep
TENDER &c, 1849, to MissJ ane Elizabeth
Barker; and next on October Is, 1888,
to Miss Margaret E. Boone; both of
whom preceded him to the spirit land.
He leaves one brother, Luke B. Powers,
of Howellsville, two daughters and a
goodly number of grandchildren and
", a good man has gone to his reward.

The Freshet in Lumberton-
Lumber River Reaches High
est Stage in its History.

yesterday afternoon about hVe
o'clock Lumber river reached the
highest point in its history, so
far as is known, and since that
time it has been slowly receding,
though it is still above previous
high water marks. DR.. R. M.
Norment, whose residence in
Lumberton covers a period of 81
years, says that the river is five
inches higher now than it has
been at any time during that
period; it is some eight inches
higher than the great freshet of
1867. In the main channel of
the river the water is up at least
ten feet and it varies from one
to three miles in width. At it's
highest stage the water struck
the sides of the old wooden bridge
and yesterday afternoon it was
feared that it would go and it
was strengthened with ropes,
but it withstood the force of the
current without damage.
The colored people who live on
the low-lying land on the other
side of the river from the town
have been surrounded with wa
ter for several days and have
been obliged to use boats in 60
ing to and from their houses, and
water has reached into the yards
of homes beyond the National
Cotton Mills. Some of the color
ed people have taken advantage
of the opportunity to fish from
their porches, and at one house a
great slamming of doors marked
an effort to catch a large cat fish
that had drifted into a room. A
whiskey still, it is said, innocent
ly f2atcd into view Saturday af-
ternOon near the National Cotton
Mills, but just whence it came
no one could say. Saturday and
yesterday water flowed over the
| Seaboard tracks near the upper
trestle.
No Northern mail was receiv.
ed here from Tuesday till Friday
night.
i 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage crops have suffered or
!. account of the heavy rains anc

Maxton Defeats Lumberton.

Lumberton's second nine met
defeat at the hands of Maxton on
the latter's grounds Thursday,
the score being five to one. The
game was to have been played
Wednesday but was put off on
account of rain. The Lumberton
boys say Maxton had a regular
league pitcher hired for the &C.
casion and they could not con-
meet with his balls. In comment
ing on the game two weeks ago,
when Lumberton defeated q
team from Maxton on the home
grounds to the tune of four to
nothing, The Chief refers to the
Maxton boys as infants" and
says they could not see Howells'
balls. They class some mighty
big boys and young men as in
fants at Maxton if that team was
80 made up. Anyway, Lumber
ton did not have to import &
pitcher to shove the sphere over
the home plate with such speed
that the infants" could not see
it; while, on the other hand
Maxton had to import material t.
do the same trick.

Floods Destroy Life and Prop
erty in Three States Many
Rendered Homeless in Fay
etteville and Cumberland
County. ..s:
The floods of the past week in
North and South Carolina and
Georgia resulted in the loss of a
number of lives and the de-
struction of an immense amount
of property. The loss Of life in
and around Augusta, Ca, is es-
timated as high as 60, in South
Carolina 20 lives are thought to
be lost, and in this State perhaps
a dozen. Thousands are out of
work through the shutting down
of mills and thousands have been
rendered temporarily homeless.
The loss of property will amount
to several millions of dollars, the
loss at Augusta being estimated
at about 81, 500, ZOO. Press dis
patches Friday night stated that
in some districts of Augusta
people who could not leave their
homes had not tasted food since
Wednesday night. The situa-
ton reached its worst Friday
and has since been improving.
In the three States mentioned
the floods were the worst ever
known. No trains were run
over many lines of railroad for
several days. It is reported that
cotton and corn crops over South
Carolina are damaged so per
cent, and the loss in that State
alone will go far into the mil
lions. at
Fayetteville suffered most of
any town in this State. By the
time the Cape Fear reached it's
highest stage, II feet, Friday
afternoon, some three thousand
people in Fayetteville had been
rendered homeless and ten thou
sand people in the county. The
highest stage ever before reach
ed by the Cape Fear was 58.8
feet, in 1901. The east portion
of Fayetteville was flooded to
within 200 yards of the city hall,
which is a mile and a half from
the river. The town was in total
darkness. Friday night. The
mayor and the chairman Of the
board of county commissioners
issued calls for contributions to
relieve the suffering and profers
of aid were made from nearby
towns. Mayor John A. Rowland,
of Lumberton, wired the mayor
of Fayetteville that a subscrip-
ton would be started here if it
were needed, but he was advised
that it had not yet become neces-
sary to call for outside aid. Pro-
visions We're becoming scarce by
the time the flood tide was
reached, eggs selling for 81 a
dozen and vegetables being held
for four times their market val
ue.
Some estimates place the loss
by the flood in Cumberland county
as high as quarter of a million
dollars.
