port received since Wednesday morning
''The Catawba River, of North Carolina, and the
Wateree and Pee-Dee rivers of South Carolina have
ceeded all previous stages by several feet while Eastern
North Carolina reports indicate the greatest flood
known in that section. The rainfall particularly
heavy in the vicinity of Raleigh N c. where the total
fall since Sunday exactly ten inches. The losses and
damage are enormous Railroads have annuled trains,

All Passenger Traffic Annulled Through Here.
Telephone and Telegraph Wires DoWn--Some
Grave Reports from Columbia and Augusta.

The rain wrought by the flood of Tuesday surPasses
anything that has happened in this part of the
country The damage is simply stupendous The loss OF
life is appalling 1t is wonder, however, with such
flood that the loss of life is not greater
Savannah is on terrible rampage 1t has washed
away every railroad rese in this part of the State
The country about Savannah cannot be heard from.
The Savannah valley branch of the c. & w. C.. road
has suffered great loss Every treste omportance from
Anderson to Mccormick is washed away
The Southern road has made no estimate OF the
damage done its lines At least 80 miles of the road has
been under water, and part Of it is still under water
telegraphic communication from the State this
morning states that it is not known just when business
will be resumed on the railroads.
The fact that the Seaboard follows ridge in this
part Of the country renders it especially susceptible to
damage and has received its share of the damage in the
flood of Tuesday. No trains running the line here
except car to Greenwood and to Calhoun Falls.
1t is reported that the Pacoet Mills gone but the
report has been snbsantated yet 1t would not be
surprising however hear that many mills gone in
view of the extraordinary high water
