Kansas City, Sept 24.--The wizard

"How did you know was here?'s
the inventor asked, putting hand to
his ear as visitor met him in his
rooms in the Hotel Baltimore. The

talking machine twenty years ago can

not mechanical experiments, are to
blame for this fact, however. 9th.

But the question started a line Of
thought, and very naturally the

in few years prove that Edison's
ideas are correct.
"No l don't believe the Wright type

SEND =. .. SMITH
TO THE SENATE.
Some Good Reasons Why He Should
Represent South Carolina in that
Distinguished Body.

Some of the politicians have charg-
ed that Hon. E. D. Smith has used
the Southern Cotton Association as a
means of riding into Office, but the
thinking man, the fsrmer-the real
producer of wealth-and even the
business man, must admit that the
work done by E. D. Smith through
out the South and in South Carolina
particularly, has brought more money
to the farmer, the merchant, the
doctor, the lawyer and to every other
class than that of any other man who
has espoused the cause of the South.
His work has brought results-the in
creased price of cotton which Mr..
Smith and his associates are largely
responsible for bringing about, has
made the people of South Carolina
all of them-more prosperous than
Ithey have eyer been before.
MIR. Smith attended the University
of South Carolina and is an alumnus
of Wofford College. He received his
masters degree at Vanderbilt Uni
versity, the great Methodist institu-
tion of the South.
He comes of distinguished ancestors,
being a brother of the lamented
Rishon A Coke Smith
Mr.. Smith is an orator of national
repute and would be able to hold his
own with the "giants'' of the Senate.
With Smith in the United States
Senate, South Carolina would again
come into her own and be heard from
by the rest of the country. Mr..
Smith has a world of energy; he
would not only hold his own on the
floor of the Senate, but his energetic
work in the committee room would
count for South Carolina.

The Recent Flood.

The heavy rains last week, which
caused the rivers and smaller streams
throughontsthesS State TO overflow, has
now snbsMeas &ud thareal damage is
comingto lights The damage to Lex
ington farmers along the Broad, Sa-
luda and Congaree rivers is great. In
some instances crops have been to-
tally destroyed and much stock drown
ed, while the damage to roads and
bridges cannot be estimated. Colum.
bia and vicinity has been hit hard.
The damage to property, live stock,
etc., will reach up into the thousands.
Many lives have been lost. The exact
number will perhaps never be known.
The railroads have suffered more
damage, perhaps, than all the rest
put together. Trestles, bridges and
tracks for miles and miles were car
ried away by the food. Traffic was
tied UP for several days and it will
take weeks to repair the damage.
At Augusta, Ca, a number of peo-
pie lost their lives. At one time the
water on Broad street reached depth
of six feet. while at the Union station
it was ten feet deep. Thousands are
destitute, it is said, and half clothed
women, with little ones clinging tight
ly to their breasts, are walking the
streets begging for food and raiment.
Augusta has asked for aid either in
money, clothing or eupplies. A car
load of groceries arrived from Atlanta
on Saturday, but it did not begin to
90 around.
Such a disaster has never visited
this section of the South before, and
only those who have witnessed the
scenes can fully appreciate the terri
BILE situation.

Horrible Experience Of Two
iexinetonians.

On last Thursday evening as the
waters of the Congaree river were
rising very rapidly and everything
was being swept away, Mr.. J. B.
Nunamaker and Mr.. Eugene Moye,
who live near Brookland, having
quite number of hogs and cattle in
their pastures, became uneasy about
them and decided to make an effort
to save some of them. They secured
a boat and went to their pasture, but
before they succeeded in saving any
of their stock darkness came on and
in their efforts to get back home they
became lost and were compelled to
tie their boat to a tree in order to
save themselves from being swept
into the current of the river which
was raging furiously. When daylight
came they were horror-stricken to
find that they were only short dis
tance from the channel of the river.
What a miserable night these two
gentlemen must have spent alone on
the water and in beating rain and
not human being in reach to lend
helping hand! Surely, it was but the
work of Providence and the mercy of
God that their lives were spared to
reach home and loved ones once
more.
Messrs. Nunnamaker and Moye, as
with many others, have lost their en-
tire crops, as their plantations were
almost entirely covered with water.
Everybody in this section who planted
on the river certainly have gloomy
prospects ahead as the summer is too
far gone to replant their crops. While
our farmers are Industrious and will
do all in their power to bravely meet
this fearful disaster, there is but little
they can do, as the season is too
short for any farming.
A friend.
