RAINS
CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE

lie.
The city of Laurens has been with
out steady flow of electric current
since Friday morning. AT that time
the Boyds Mill plant of the Reedy
River Power Co. was reported as
Hooded. The boilers and dynamos
were engulfed in water and will be
out of condition for several weeks.
The local emergency plant was start
ed up some time Saturday morning
and has been giving service at odd
intervals since.
Many bridges over the county have
been either washed away or serious
ly damaged. However, the loss will
not be as great as in the flood of 1908,
but the damage, though as yet not
estimated by Supervisor Humbert, will
be considerable. Although accurate
information as to all the bridges
could not be secured by Supervisor
Humbert, he has furnished list of
those bridges which he is fairly re-
iiably informed were damaged.
h hShoiSS ihel, IldIIlS DTluSe, AL
len bridge and Woodruff bridge are
washed away, The Jones Ford and
Musgrove bridges are reported gone.
but this could not be vouchsafed On
Reedy river, Ivy Bluff and Culbertson
bridges are reported as washed down
and on Saluda, Mattox bridge is said
to be gone. The Tumbling Shoals
bridge was damaged. However. a mes
sage from Mr.. w ID. Sullivan yester-
day gave the news that the road from
Laurens to Princeton was open for
traffic. The Fishdam bridge on Reedy
river was damaged, the flood having
most effect upon the approaches.
Cooper, Kilgo and Marlborough bridges
on Enoree river We're damaged to some
extent Besides these there were pos
sibly other bridges on the larger
streams damaged, but have not as yet
been heard from.
1t is also reported that Mcpherson
bridge, the Anderson Mill bridge. the
Abercrombie bridge. the Mahaffey
bridge, the Burton bridge and the
bridge near Todd's quarter are wash
ed away. All of these are bridges on
small streams.
There were no railroad bridges
washed away in this county, but traf-
nc has been very Irregular.

Children are much more likely to
contract the contagious diseases when
they have colds. Whooping cough,
diphtheria, scarlet fever and consump-
ton are diseases that are often con
tracted when the child has cold.
That is why all medical authorities
say beware of colds. For the quick
cure of colds you will find nothing
better than Chamberlain Cough

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of tine
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an
inilamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is iniiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed CON

Death In Boilers Blast.

Two lives were snuffed out in a
twinkling by a boiler explosion at John
Dsfrain's sawmill in East Coyington
township, Chester county, Pa. Three
other persons were badly injured.
The dead are Chester Smith, of near
Brownback's Church, and Charles
Herzog, of BirdsbOro.
The injured are John Clay, John
SOmoly and Charles Swede, the latter
the father-in-law of the proprietor OF
the mill.
Both the dead men were horribly
mutilated, and there was scarcely a
bone in Smiths body that was not
broken.
Low water in the boiler is sup
posed to have caused the explosion.
The men who were killed were saw
yers, and the three injured men were
the only ones in the building. The lat
ter, because of their injuries, are un-
able to give a lucid account of the ac
cident The boiler was blown endwise
out Of the building and the sawmill is
as completely wrecked as if an earth
quake had struck it.
