Worst Over in Augusta.

Augusta, Ca, March 16.-The third
food in twenty-four years almost COM
pletely covered the business section
and the larger part of the residence
section of the lower city today, the
river reaching height Of sc feet 9
inches up to o'clock tonight, when
it was at a standstill. At 4 o'clock
this morning the water was "a feet
high, the maximum height predicted
by the weather bureau, but before 9
o'clock this morning the bureau had
changed its maximum estimate to 81
feet, the river being then 35 feet, 5
inches.
While business was completely sus-
pended throughout the day on account
of the water covering all but few
blocks of the centre of Broad street,
the damage has been nothing like as
great as the fall freshet of 1908, or the
freshet of 1898.
The river attained height of SO
feet, 9 inches in the 1908 freshet, two
feet more than the present freshet,
thus putting the water from one to
two feet deep in all the stores and a
maioritv of tho residances of the CITY.
But this time the water has entered
comparatively few stores and only
those residences nearest the river and
in the lowlands in the southern sec
ton of the city.

HOW OLD PEOPLE
Nav ProIong Their Lives

At an advanced age waste is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth. The circulation is poor, the
blood thin and watery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per-
son in this vicinity that Vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out OLD will prolong life. 1t creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
Vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
If people in this vicinity only real
lied how Vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand.
Try a bottle of Yinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

Situation at Columbia.

Columbia, March 16.-The Congaree
river was 20 feet at Z o'clock tonight
and was still rising, and Section Di-
rector Green stated, at 8 o'clock, that
he expected it to go over 80 feet. He
said that he thought the crest of the
food would pass here between
o'clock and midnight, and that after
midnight he thought the waters would
begin to recede slowly. For a period
of Is hours the Congaree rose at the
rate of fve-tenths Of a foot per hour,
but in the last few hours the rise has
been slower, about three-tenths per
hour, and it is rising at this rate now.
At this hour, 9 o'clock, waters are al
most tapping the bridge across the
.Congaree, although it is thought that
no serious damage to the bridge will
result.
Fears are entertained that the locks
of the Columbia canal may give way,
and should they do so serious conse-
Quences would result A force of vol
unteers is on duty at that point, and
so far has succeeded in keeping the
locks intact. The power house Of the
Columbia Mill company is flooded and
the mill was forced to suspend opera
tions. Workmen braced the interior
of the walls of the Columbia Railway,
Gas and Electric company, and up to
this hour have succeeded in keeping
the water out of the building, although
it is in imminent danger of being flood
ed. The city is now using the steam
plant, although the pumping station
of the company is not yet under water.
All day long crowds of people have
visited the scene of the raging waters,
although it is not thought that the
Congaree will reach the heights of the
flood stage of 1908, when it was Sc
feet.
The Southern railway is cut off from
aIl connection with Spartanburg and
Greenville and no trains are being op-
Grated out Of the city on these lines.
There is a washout at Dysons, and the
approaches to the bridge between
ChappelIs and Ninety Six, on the
Southern, have been swept away,
blocking all traffic on that line. The
approaches to the bridge at Aston,
the functional point Of the Spartan
burg ana Greenville lines, have been
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-03-19

swept away and much of the track be-
tween Columbia and this point is un-
der water, entirely preventing any
trains from being operated over these
lines.
Wires are down and communication
with the greater part of the Piedmont
is practically cut off. General Man
ager Foreacre, Of the Southern, who is
here in charge Of the work, said that
the bridge at Aston was intact. Traf-
fic is being maintained between Spar
tanburg and Herberts, little station
above Shelton. Traffic on the Green
Vile line is limited to between
Greenwood and little above Bolton,
The Charlotte-Savannah division is
all right, except that the Florida Fly
er, which was due here this morning
at s O'Clock, has not Yet arrived, and
will not get in before tomorrow, it
being delayed by a washout in Viz
ginia. The northbound train from
Florida over this line went through
tonight, little behind time. The
Carolina Special" was detoured via
Charlotte and went through several
hours late. No. IA, Columbia to Char
lesion, left out this afternoon, run
ming on the Carolina Specials" sche-
dule.
Communication is being maintained
TO within a few miles OF Augusta, al
though a report, not confirmed reached
here this afternoon that the yards at
Hamburg, near Augusta, were under
water.
The Seaboard local trains are run
ming about on time, but through trains
are all several hours late. The Sea-
board trestle over the Catawba, near
Waxhaw, on the Atlanta division, is
reported washed away. The Atlantic
Coast Line and the Columbia, Newber-
ry and Laurens report no trouble and
their trains are maintaing schedules
so far.
No loss of life has been reported
from the flood today, although the
property damage is tremendous. Traf-
fic in the up-country is tied up. The
people along the Congaree, warned o.
the approaching flood, moved out IN
time, and several families on the Lex
ington side of the river had to aban-
don their homes on the rising waters
taking possession.
The railroad officials are straining
every nerve to meet the emergencies
and they stated this afternoon that
they hoped to be able to restore rail
communication with Greenville and
Spartanburg by Monday and to get
conditions back to normal. The peo-
pie are intensely interested in the re-
ports from the country which was
yesterday swept by wind and rain, and
especially is every report from the
stricken city of Augusta listened to
with the greatest interest.

Reports from Columbia show SIM
liar conditions in South Carolina. The
Congaree and Broad rivers, at Colum-
bia, have become raging torrents and
the flood threatens to carry away the
big steel bridges over both rivers. At
Camden, the Wateree river has carried
away two bridges and all roads into
the town are submerged. The Saluda
river also is out OF bounds and re-
ports say a freight train has been
caught between two washouts near
Saluda and abandoned.
Reports From Georgia.
The Savannah river, at Augusta,
came to standstill tonight at Sc feet
9 inches, after spreading over large
part of that city. The damage, it is
said, will be much less than the mem
orable food of 1908. At Macon the
rise of the Ocmulgee river caused a
break in the city water mains, cutting
OFF the water supply of part Of the city
and leaving the city without fire pro
lection tonight.
From southern Alabama come re-
ports that all rivers are steadily ris-
ing and damage to property is enor-
