SEVERE FLOOD AT AUGUSTA

AUGUSTA, Ga, Aug. p, Via Harrison
Vile. Ga, Aug. H,-Aususta yesterday was
visited by one of the worst floods In it's
history.
The Savannah river began rising rapidly
early Tuesday. continuing the day up to
a late hour last night. Water from the
river and canal surged down the city until
a depth of from six to eight feet had been
reached in a territory pounded by Fifteenth
street on the west to the extreme eastern
boundary Of the city. So far as known
three persons have been drowned, but their
identity has not been learned at an early
hour this morning.
Reports Of capsizing boats in the swift
current have been received, but not verified
because of the utter chaos the city was
thrown into by the sudden rise of the water
and resulting confusion. Two fires were
reported IN the flooded district. Lime
stored in warehouses, coming in contact
with the water. was said to have been the
cause OF explosions, which destroyed the
warehouses OF the Nixon Wholesale Gro.
Gerry company's warehouses and the Nixon
& Danforth cotton warehouse. This. how
ever, cannot be confirmed. The fire was

PEELED to stand idly by and watch the new
feature of destruction.
weather Bureau Warnings.
The local weather bureau issued flood
warnings Tuesday morning. saying that the
river would reach a height of between
thirty five = and thirty-seven feet by {
o'clock Wednesday evening, at which time
1t was predicted the river would have
reached its highest point. This prediction
was exceeded by several feet. the river
having reached between forty and forty
five feet, the danger line being thirty-three
feet.
Immediately upon learning the weather
bureaus warning, those living nearest the
river began moving out for higher places,
and by the time the water reached their
home they were we'll on their way to the
hills.
There is a great deal OF suffering Rmoog
the poorer classes of whites and the ne
groes, who occupied houses nearest the
lowlands. When the river began to rise
people could be seen going through the
streets with what little bedding and other
articles they could hurriedly gather up
and handily carry on their backs. Women
were seen with their children in their arms
making their way toward higher places.
while the men were driving live stock.
