Loss of Life In Georgia and CarOIinaS Is Now Placed
 At Seventy Persons
AID IS COMING IN
 FROM ALL SECTIONS
Situation at Augusta Has Passed the Crisis, But Water Is Highest Ever Known In Lower Part of
 Cape Fear River.

Atlanta, August 29.-With wire commun- ication practically restored throughout the flooded sections of Georgia, North and South Carolina, late reports are conn ing to the Associated Press showing improved conditions everywhere with the single exception of the Congaree river, south of Columbia, S. c. Fifty miles south of Columbia the water from the Congaree river had backed into Kings vile, s. C., junction point on the Southern railway. Early tonight Kings vile was submerged to a depth of nine feet. No loss of life was reported. The property loss is small, but the river is reported still rising at this point.
 The loss of life remains at 70 persons. with IS known dead within the Augusta city limits.
 Reports from Augusta and the cities and towns with which communication by wire is direct show no increase in prop erty loss, and it is believed will not exceed $2,500,000, including destroyed rail road tracks and bridges. Damage to crops and to land from the heavy rains which washed gullies through them will undoubtedly be enormous, but there is no possible way to get information upon which to base an estimate. Added to this is the loss of cattle and the stock on the farms along overflowed streams.
 Rumors that another storm is approach ing central Georgia and parts of North and South Carolina proved untrue to- night. All these sections recorded nor nal weather conditions tonight.
 Columbus, Ga., issued a proclamation for a mass meeting of citizens tomorrow for the purpose of aiding the flood suf- ferers in, Augusta.
 number of other cities have taken similar steps.
 All danger seems to have been passed in the Carolinas and in Georgia, except at Kingsvllle, s. C., where water ap- parently is rising rapidly tonight.
 The situation in Augusta seems to have passed the crisis. the loss of life there will probably reach 20 in the city and vicinity The streets of Augusta are be- ing cleaned rapidly. A number of build ings have collapsed but this damage has not resulted in the loss of life.
 The Georgia Iron Works foundry burned in Augusta at 10 o'clock. No fatalities.
