Beginning about 2 O'clock Tuesday

In torrents until 1870 o'clock In the
morning. 1t was said that as much
rain fell here yesterday morning as
has ever been known in the same
length OF time and some fears were ex-
pressed by the people of the city as to
the probable damage done in this
county and other portions of the State.
The railroad officials all OYER South
Carolina we're Tuesday morning tele-
graphing instructions out to their en-
gineers, warning them that the tracks
would prob2h'v'be damaged some and
giving orders that alltraiEs run slow

| The only damage done !n the city
of Anderson, so far as is known was
to the bridge on Main street over the
railroad tracks. The loose earth un-
der the bridge, where work has re-
Gently been going, on became soft
ened by the continuous rain fail and
some OF the braces supporting the
plank approaches to the bridge gave
way. The loose earth and part OF the
timbers was then precipitated to the
tracks below. However, as soon as
the rainfall ceased number of car
penters were put to work and this
.re.hle was remedied in q few hcnrs.
About the heaviest fall of rain came
Tuesday morning about 8 O'Clock
when the water fell in sheets. This
continued however, for only a short
time and by 1880 1t ceased entirely
and the sun came out.

Without doubt most of those Amer
leans who are in Europe at the present
time and who have been caught in the
war net, so to speak, are financially able
TO get out of the country or have friends
who are financially able TO assist them
in getting home, but they are unable TO
get hold of those funds, having depend
ed on letters of credit, ETC. for their
ordinary expenses. Therefore, the pro-
posal by Congress TO appropriate a con-
siderable sum of money at this time is
not because of the poverty of the thous-
ands so caught but because of the ext
gency of the situation which prevents
them from drawing on their own re-
sources. That their condition is some
what serious, practically alone and in
strange countries, is generally believed T;
and the efforts to relieve their distress
will be commended.

The high cost Of having disastrous
fires is shown by the increased assess
ment of mutual insurance companies in
Vermont, and the whole has to suffer
from the shortcomings of the few COM
munities which neglect to provide them
selves with proper equipment. A large
proportion of the aggregate fire loss in
Vermont each year is to be located in
towns which have not taken steps to
provide adequate apparatus and to sup
ply sufficient water supply; but, hap
PLY, the number of delinquent towns is
decreasing, although slowly, and gem
orally not until warning has been given
in the loss of considerable property.
