Entire Family Lost at Pei

Spartanburg, s. c., Aug. %.
All danger to 20 or more big
cotton mills along the river is
passed Several Of the mills
have been forced to shut down
on account of dams and races
being washed away. There has
been no loss of lite in this sec
ton
AT Palzer. S c., an entire
family, wagon and team of mules
persisted in the Saluda river.
Two negroes, while at work on
a railroad trestle in Baurens
county, were carried down stream
1t is supposed that 80 or more
people have been drowned
throughout the State during
the past week. The farmers
have lost thousands OF dollars
by their stock perishing in the
swollen streams. The damage

Fayetteville, Aug. 2S.-The
Cape Fear river at this point has
reached height offs feet, break
ing all records of former floods.
The river valleys on the east
side are covered for miles with
a rushing torrent of muddy wa
ters. Houses and bridges are
swept away Tor miles around
and the estimated damage to the
cotton and corn crop will 90 be-
You'd 30 per cent.
The greater portion OF Fayette-
VILE is covered with water back

which is mile and half dis

Three thousand people are

was issued by the mayo at noon

In the county there are thous-
ands OF people homeless and an

When you have cold you may be
sure that il has been caused Indirectly
by constipation and consequently you
must first of all take something to
move the bowels. This is what has
made Kenuedy's Laxative Cough Sy-
rCp so successful and so generally de-
manded. 1t does not constipate like
most of the old fashioned cough cures,
but on the other hand it gently moves
the bowels and at the same time heals
irritation and allays inflammation OF
the throat. Sold by j. +. Mackey &

The L. & C's. Damage.
Loss of Lancaster's Local
Road Much Greater than
at First Supposed, Extent
of Damage

Since the waters have receded
the damage sustained by ,he
Lancaster d Chester railI oau j.
found TO be far more serious than
was at first supposed. The en-
tire Cane Greek trestle, which
was 1000 feet in leng h, was
completely destroyed, as wa,
also 500 feet OF the treste and
embankment on this side ot !he
Catawba RIVER and 200 feet on
the Chester side. Fully three.
fourihs Of these trestles had been
recently filled in at heavy ex-
pense on the part of the COM
pany, in order to make the road
safe.
The railroad company's loss is
conservatlve!y estimated to be
between twenty thousand and
TWENTY-FIVE thousand dollars
The blow Is an extremely hard
one on the railroad, coming as
1t does dur.nS the present hard
times, when all enterprises and
industries are feeling the effects
of the widespread financial de-
pression. L e l. & C's busine, $
has been practically cut in two
One of its serious losses is the
cutting off of the large business
of the Southern Power company
which it has had Tor the pa It
three years.
1t is estimated that it will take
the entire earnings OF the railroad
for the next three years to pay
for replacing the lost trest!es and
bridges. But. the work of re-
building has already begun and
will be pushed forward with all
possible dispatch. The company
now has force of fifty trestle
men at work, and this number
will be considerably increased in
a day or two. 1t is thought that
it will take about three weeks
to get the road in shape for trains
to pass over In the meantime,
the schedule as published in the
last issue OF The News will con
tinue to be operated, trains from
Lancaster to Chester and return
. going over the Southern's track
by way OF Rock Hill. As here
tofore published, the road is Civ
ing daily service over its own
track between Chester and Fort
Lawn.

2Sth, to come, on which day he
was to hang unless the Governor
should respite The sentence. The
State" tells 1t IN most interest
ing manner in details but space
and time forbid such here How
ever, Hampton though negro
doomed to die loved his life and
was always on the lookout for
any news which would lengthen
his lite. He knew that petit
ton had been signed by a mum
ber Of Greenwood's prominent
citizens, asking the Governor to
act. For several days Hampton
could get no news from Column
bia, but the Governor had acted.
Finally on Thursday Mr.. A. j.
Bethea, Gov. Ansel's Private
Secretary, got as far as Clinton
and managed to get message
through to The Sheriff OF Green
wood county notifying bim that
Hampton had been reSpited un-
til October 10Th. On his return
Mr.. Bethea made the journey
partly by rail- and partly in an
Old wagon.
