been underestimated. In addition to
the disaster already reported, the

and loss of cotton which fioated away
sustained loss of 100000. Twenty

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 28.-The
crest of the great freshet, which,
starting in the Piedmont section of
the state, has swept through South
Carolina, leaving ruined farms and
crippled railway lines in its wake,
has now passed Columbia, and IS
moving toward the lower part OF the
state. The railroads are making
strenuous efforts to restore the lines
of communication. and have succeed
ed in a measure. Kingsville, Is miles
south of this city, on the Wateree,
is surrounded by water, and every
house in the town is deserted.

IT'S SAID.

That the best place for black
eye is on the other fellow
That boil on the water is worth
tTo on the neck.
That we are soon to have a local
minstrel show for the benefit of the
band.
That a very pathetic scene took
place on the street the other day. A
man had eaten something that didn' t
agree with him, and his stomach had
refused to stand for it. AS he stood
with his head over the curb a SYM
pathizing friend came along and
said: Are you sick" The reply was
brief and to the point: you blanked
fool, do you think l am throwing up
just for the fun of it?''
The Good Samaritan passed on.
That we have some talent in the
schools of Wenatchee. Listen to this,
written by one who probably knows:
Nance's Little Rubber Hose.
Mr.. Nance is awful strict
Down at Whitman school
If you aren't good you'll sure get
licked,
For that's q solid rule;
You dare not stop to tease friend,
Or settle with your foes,
Unless you want the other end
OF Nance's rubber hose.
~ II q Tae y saF >~ss E:E R'EB
If you're in a fight and he com
around
You just keep on the sly,
And act real nice and innocent
Till Mr.. Nance gets BY.
But if ne catches you in one
Stuff papers in your clothes
For Mr.. Nance amt stingy
With his little rubber bose.

But changing the letter and going

A kiss IS as good as smile.
That the following conversation
took place between two of Wenat-
chee's baseball fans:
brown-Is he a good pitcher?
Smith-Gee; he ought to be-he
holds about three quarts.
That a change of pasture makes

And blistered both his feet.

A BRITISHER
WRITES ANENT
BASEBALL

Editor World:
Your editorial in yesterdays pa
per on Sunday Baseball was very
broadminded and showed a disposi-
tiOn to look at the subject from a
commOnsense view. The suggestion
that our merchants give their en-
ployes a half holiday once a week is
an adaptation from the English sys-
TEN which has for as long as the
writer can remember (some forty odd
years. been in existence in the tight
little island, where every Saturday
afternoon the year round is half
/ holiday, which, in conjunction with
the long twilight in the evenings,
gives the youth and young manhood,
aye, and the middle-aged, ample
time for recreation, leaving the Sab
bath in reality as well as in name the
Lords Day. s~e. ~---s.4> s.<
l wasn't at the Commercial Club
meeting and | don't know who the
gentlemen were who are opposed to
Sunday baseball, but if there are any
employers of labor among these peo-
pie who are opposed to Sunday base
ball | would like to ask them, do they
>
the week to play ball or any other
! healthy exercise that is absolutely es-
sential to the well being of the youth
of a community?
To walk through this town when
the days work is done makes one
think of Goldsmiths Deserted Viii
lage." In stroll around an
English hamlet of the same size
one would see the lads playing cricket
on the village green and the lassies
skipping the rope, playing tennis or
other healthy exercise. Their elders
would be seen on bowling green as
smooth as a billiard table at the old
game of bowls, a game that is alto
gether different from the ninepins
that is often played in cellars of sa-
looms called bowling alleys, where
the air is fetid from smoke and bad
ventilation.
Life here is too strenuous. The
average man is always on a feverish
hunt for gold. When he gets through
work he either sits at home think
ing of his next days business or down
at some lodge meeting, talking with
his brother members and the subject
of the talk is in nine cases out of ten
business. Give us a rest from the
eternal grind and if you must have
US working six full days week,
please don't try and dictate what we
shall do with the seventh.
Yours sincerely,

when THE
FLEET COMES
Public Holiday i'm the Nearby Cities.
Many Excursion Parties.-Big
Parade May 26.

Seattle, May II, 190S.-During
the past week many inquiries have
been received by the Chamber OF
Commerce from cities of the Paci-
fic Northwest concerning the pro-
gram for the celebration during the
visit of the Battleship Fleet to Seat
tie. Reports from nearby cities in
dicate that all will take a public
holiday or two while the fleet is in
Elliott Bay, and that the visitors will
pour into the city by the thousands.
As far east as North Dakota and
Montana. excursion parties are being
organized, and the visitors will start
in ample time to take part in the
four days celebration. Many of the
smaller towns of the Northwest,
where the residents desire to spend
but one day in the city, have fixed
on Tuesday, May &c, when the pa
rade of marines, soldiers, national
guardsmen, and other uniformed or
ganizations will take place. On the
same day aquatic sports will be par
ticipated in on Elliott Bay. Captain
w. NJ. Inglis, director of the field
and aquatic sports, announces that
a number of rowing clubs on the
coast will send crews for the contests
on the water From the Indian res
ervations of the Northwest will come
many Indians to take part in the
war canoe races.
The invitations have been sent out
for the reception to be held in tho
New Washington Hotel in honor of
the fleet officers. 1t is expected that
between 5000 and 1000 persons
will attend.
The Seattle Restaurant Keepers
association held a meeting during
the past week and adopted resolu-
tions to the effect that the members
will not advance the price of meals
during the visit of the Atlantic feet
to Seattle.
The owners of all hotels and ladg-
ing houses, as well as private homes,
" hich will furnish room accommoda-
tions, have announced that heir
their charges will be moderate, and
that the visitors will have no occG-
sion for complaint from that direc-
ton.

WATER ON EAST SIDE
FOR FIRST Time
Today Water Was D~fven to Ditch
on East Side for First
Time.

After many delays and much trou-
Bile, the Wenatchee Canal company
was able for the first time to force
water to the ditch in East Wenatchee.
A gang of men employed in the
construction of the fiume across the
river has been working night and
day for the past two weeks in order
to bring the work to a close. It is
reported that it was especially de-
sired TO have the flume in working
order and water on the other side
at this date, because tomorrow it is
expected that the new bridge will be
officially inspected.

RULES OF new
POSTAL SERVICE
City Delivery to Begin June 1 Will
Cut Out Drop Letter Rates.

From Postmaster Hull we have Sc
cured the following items of interest
affecting the local mail service upon
the adoption of city delivery on June
l.
No more one cent letter rates.
That is to say, all letters, local or
otherwise, will be subject to postage
at the rate of two cents for each
ounce or fraction thereof.
The department urges that patrons
of city delivery routes provide pri-
vate boxes for the receipt of mail, for
carriers shall not deliver mail at side
or rear doors or to separate suites or
rooms in apartment houses.
The postmaster has authority to
shorten the routes if same cannot be
served as per eight hour schedule for
each day, hence it is desirable that
patrons do all they can to facilitate
prompt delivery. In this conneC-
tion much benefit will result if pat
rons will cause all their correspond
ents to include street and number on
ali letter mail and as as far as pos
Sible on paper mail.

DEATH DUE
TO APOPLExY
COroner's Inquest Brings Out Cause
of Death of Robert Gibson.

Robert Gibson, an iron moulder by
trade and a member of the Interna-
tional MoEldcrs Union, died in a
baggage car somewhere between
Leavenworth and Wellington. Cor
Oner Saunders was notified and the
body was moved to the Sprague un-
dertalling parlOrs, where an inquest
was held this afternoon.
The coroner's jury, after evidence
had been submitted, brought in a
verdict Of death from apoplexy re-
sulting from weakened state of the
blood vessels caused from chronic
alcoholism.
As the train was leaving Skykom-

BIG CROP AT
| SUNNYSLOPE
Hundreds of Cars Will be Marketed
This Year.-Only Five Years
Development.

This year there will be several
hundred cars of fruit shipped from
! Sunnyslope alone, according to the
statement made today by Rev. A. B.
| Peters to World reporter. The fig
ure is almost surprising when it is
considered that Sunnyslope is only
small place of only a few hundred
acres.
Five years ago what is Sunnyslope
| was barren waste. The High Line
Ditch was being completed, but the
land was covered with sagebrush.
Mr.. Peters was the first man to
buy land at Sunnyslope, and he
might justly be called the Father
of the Colony" Soon afterwards A.
D. Bowman moved in and he was fol-
lowed by the Sharps, the Peters and
others.
Including Burch Flate, there are
now about IS families, where five
years ago there were not over half
a-dozen families.
Concerning the fruit crop this
year Mr.. Peters said:
This is the first big year we have
had. The trees are now five years
depend upon the trees for a living.
While it is rather hard to estimate
without some figuring, it might be
said that we raised only about 50 to
so cars of fruit last year. But this
year will be an extra large one. The
trees are practically loaded down.
The apple crop will be large and we
expect to see fruit of very supe
rior quality. The trees are young
rior quality The trees are young
and the apples will be large. The
cherry crop viii not be so large a
yield, as the trees are not quite old
enough? The peaches will be a heavy
yield, so will the apricots. For the
past three years we have raised a
great many berries, but owing to the
fact that the larger fruit is coming
on, not SO much fruit will be grown.

arouse him, but on a closer examina-
ton it was found that he was not
sleeping, but dead, having passed
away sometime before reaching
Leavenworth. He had reused slight
ly at Wellington, but was apparently
helplessly drunk.
Gibson carried a kit of Iron mould
er's tools and, while not well dressed
his clothes were not ill-kept, and he
wore a good overcoat His union
card was issued from San Francisco.

LEE AND CApBRs.
Recent Reunion OF Two Dashing
Confederate Generals.
(The state. 24th.) !

An interesting and very touching
incident of the stay In Columbia of
the distinguished Confederate chief
tain, Gen. Stephen ID. Lee, was his
visit to his old friend and army COM
rade, Bishop CaperB, at the latter's
home on Pendleton street.
The last time the two saw each
other they were riding side by side
at the head Of their forces at the bat
tie of Jonesboro, Ca, on the 1st of
September, 1864--two gallant, DASH
ing young officers, both full of splen-
did life and youth and fired with the
enthusiasm of the moment. They
look back on more than two score
years since then and with lifetime
of experience to the credit OF each
they meet again-both old men now
lone an invalid, welcoming his old
friend at his bedside.
Gen. Lee and Bishop Capers were
In the Western Confederate army
together under Gems. Joseph E.John-
son and Hood and We're in many bait
ties, being closely associated at
Between them there Is the warmest
personal friendship, which has
stretched over the years, and yes
terday once more brought touch
of tenderness to each life. The
general, deeply affected by his
friends feeble condition after "a
long illness, addressed to him such
words of sympathy and affection
that when he left there was new
light In the bishops eyes and fresh
cheer In his heart. "A gallant soldier
who was present was deeply touched
by the interview between these old
friends and comrades. After spend
ing some time at the bedside of
Bishop Capers, Gen. Lee parted with
him with hearty, "God bless you,
my dear friend and comrade," and
the eyes of each were wet with tears
