The Flood at Pittsburg Mil
lions of Dollars Damage
and Much Suffering Caus-
ed by the High wv Water.

Pittsburg, Pa. Feb. 16.-Af
ter reaching thirty and seven
tenths feet at noon today and re-
naming at that stage for three
hours, the high water in the
rivers is now slowly receding.
The danger mark in this city
is % feet.
The damage and suffering
caused by the annual flood is
widespread. A remarkable
feature, however, is the absence
Of fatalities.
Live stock has perished in
considerable numbers and there
are many reports of persons hay
ing narrowly escaped death in
an endeavor to save their pro-
perty and live stock.
Miles of territory in lower
PiItsburg and vicinity is sub
merged and it will be some time
Tomorrow before the water will
be back In the channels Of the
rivers and numerous small
streams Thou sands Of business
houses In the down town portion
OF Pittsburg are attempting to-
night to clear the cellars of their
buildings of water. Every few
feet along the sidewalk are men
pumping the water, and hun
dreds of these little streams can
be seen spnrling into the streets.
The actual monetary damage
cannot ascertained at this time,
but from all accounts, it will run
up to several million dollars.
Suffering, cause by the high
water, is intense. Thousands of
persons are living in the upper
floors of their homes, using skiffs
as means of transportation to
and lro. The lower portions of
their homes are filled ith water.
In many instances, their house
hold goods removed, owing to a
lack OF time, and chairs, tables,
pianos and brio a-brac are float
ing about the rooms.

Barn Burning Epidemic il
Mecklenburg Ended.

Oharlotte News: Now that
Mary Massey, crazy negro wo-
man, who has been at large in
this county for some time, has
been placed in the colored in
sane asylum, it is thought that
the epidemic of barn burning in
this county is at an end. When
Mr.. w. A. Scott, a deputy in
surance commissioner, came to
this county several months ago
to investigate the barn burnings
which have almost terrorized the
farmers throughout the county.
and made many of them leave
Tor other sections, the only clue
was that Mary Massey had been
seen In the neighborhood imme-
diatety preceding the conflagra
tion, and that she roamed about
in the woods at night, and was
very fond of making fires and
watching the flames.
1t was learned from one color
ed woman in the Steel Greek
section, that on The morning al
ter certain barn had been
burned, this woman, Mary Mas
sey, came to her house with her
all muddy and torn and
III an exhausted condition, a if
she had been running. This
woman said that the Massey
woman then told her of the burn
ing of the barn.
MI. Scott went to see the hus
band Of the Massey woman, and
he, too, talked very freely. He
said that his wife was crazy and
that she did not stay at home.
and il was no telling what she
might do.
Another fact which strength
ened the supposition that this
demented woman was the fire
fiend, was that, after several
barns had been burned, she sud-
denly disappeared, and that for
a space Of several months, no
fires occurred, aud that after'this
another epidemic Of burning
broke out In another section of
The county, and that this was the
woman seen in the neighbor.

THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1908.

Praise be! it is all over now,
and after the first of January
next year it will not be lawful to
manufacture or sell whiskey in
North Carolina. The majority
was comfortable enough, and no
matter which side you were on,
you are no doubt glad it is all
over. Until the election was
over we were all divided into
those for and against and indif-
ferent; now it would be we'll to
forget it. Which observation is
prompted by the fact that some
very silly and Incorporate and
small threats were openly made
Tuesday because certain people
saw fit to vote against the bill.
Nothing can be lost ever for the
cause you consider right by con-
ceding that the man who does
not think as you do is just as
honest and just as sincere in his
convictions as you are.

In his speech in Lumberton the

to carry that election than all of
them put together. Mercy on

now Mr.. Kitchin is insinuating
the very thing that Butler and

that Mr.. Kitchin was elected to

Majority For Prohibition APP
proximately $4,000 Seventy
Eight Counties Gave Majorities
for Prohibition.

Official returns from the cleo
ton Tuesday will not be known
until reports are received from
the canvassing boards which met
in the various counties in the
State this morning, but reports
received at prohibition headquar-
tiers in Raleigh last night place
the majority for prohibition at
AZ, 948, and the official figures
will vary but slightly from these
reports. Seventy-eight counties
gave majorities for prohibition,
leaving only 20 counties which
gave majorities against, and the
result shows that the prohibi-
tionists rather underestimated
what the size of the majority
would be. The greatest MAORI
ty was given by Buncomb cnunty,
where the prohibition forces
won by 1851 majority. State
chairman John A. Oates, whC
