Hiah Water In Beaverdam.

High Water In Beaverdan.
People living on Beaverdam creek
say that the recent freshet raised that
stream to a point higher than has ever
been known. There Is a great deal of
corn in the Beaverdam bottoms; but
the information is that not much of
it was injured. The bottoms Of the
creek are wide and except at a few
points the water did not get up over
the corn ears. There is very little
bottom land on Crowder's creek from
point several miles above Riddles
mill to the river; but further up the
creek corn was damaged considerably.
Kings Mountain Monument.
From a citizen of the neighbCrhood,
who was in Yorkvile yesterday, The
Enquirer learns that the progress Of
work on the Kings Mountain monu-
ment was arrested because Of uneX-
pected trouble at the foundation. The
original specifications provided for
only four feet of excavation at the
foundation: but the slate rock under
the proposed site proved to be seamy
and soft and the engineer in charge
would not permit the erection Of such
a tall shaft as Is contemplated with
out going down deeper. The contrac-
tors have gone down about Is feet and
have only reached a satisfactory foun-
dation. They now have this deep hole,
about 25 feet square, to fill with
concrete before they can begin with
the regular construction work. The
original plan was to have the monu-
ment ready for unveilng before Octo-
her I: but the understanding now Is
that there is no reasonable probability
that the monument can be completed
by that date.
Killed BY Saw Log.
Frank Snipe, young white man,
aged about 19 years, lost his life last
Wednesday as the result Of being
crushed under a saw log. Young Snine
was employed as a teamster bv
Messrs. Kiser Bros, who are operating
a saw mill near Kings Mountain bat
tlegrOund. While driving along with a
log on the wagon, a wheel struck a
stump and threw him off. The log
fell in such a way as to pin him against
a wagon wheel. Unable to extricate
himself he began to call for help.
This started the mules and the full
weight of the log came down on the
young mans left leg, breaking it and
also mashing him internally. AS soon
as help arrived, young Snipe was car
ried to his home in Cherokee county,
about two miles away, and Drs Cald-
we'll and Miller did what they could
for him, setting his leg as we'll as was
possible. The accident occurred at
about O'Clock in the afternoon and
the young man died at about IL o'clock
that night There was a chain on the
wagon: but from appearances the
young man had neglected to make use
of it in properly securing the log.
