AS a result of lack of wire facilities
and the fact that travel in several di-
rections has been stopped by the
foods, rumors of all kinds have been
flying thick and fast. Some of these
have proven false, but many others
may prove to be truthful One of the
rumors were to the effect that five of
the men who went down with the
ibridge at Belmont are marooned on
an island some miles down the river.
This report has not been verified.
The power plant of the Southern
Power company, eight miles from
Rock Hill, went out of commission
yesterday evening. The power house
is filled with water, but when COM
munication was last established with
the place it was said that the building
would probably Withstand the flood
A rumor that the Catawba dam had
broken on the north side OF the river
is probably true to the extent that the
water has cut a sluice around the end
of the dam, 1t is said.
It is impossible to estimate the
total damage done in this section by
the wind and waters of the past three
days. No rain has fallen here today
and the last report from the river
this afternoon stated that the flood
was at a standstill, with indications
that the crest has passed and the wa,
| ter will soon begin to fall.

News and Courier.

News and Courier
Columbia, July 1S-The slowly fal-
ling waters of the Congaree River
brought relief to Columbia today and
it is now believed that all danger is
past. The chief cause of worry is
the danger of the canal banks giving
way, but this Will be averted, 1t is
thought, if the waters recede rapidly.
A force of over 100 workmen was kept
busy all yesterday and today repair
ing the leaks in the canal banks. The
danger of overflow into the canal lo
over, but the high waters have so
weakened the banks that it is feared
they may cave in, thus opening a
passage into the canal.
The Congaree began receding yes
terday afternoon, but its fall is SLOW
1t remained stationary for several
hours after reaching the maximum
height, 31.3 feet, and up to noon To-
day it had fallen only a little over a
foot

BRIDGES SWTPT AWAY
OVER CATAWBA RIVER
Five Structures Go Down in York
County Cutting Rock Hill OF
From Charlotte and All Points
North and East.

Rock Hill, July 1.-Two county
bridges and three railroad bridges
spanning the Catawba river in York
county have been swept away in the
! flood which has filled and overfowed
this stream for the past two days.
The first bridge to go was the county
bridge between Rock Hill and Fort
Mill, and it was followed this morn
ing by the Southern railway bridge
spanning the river between Rock Hill
and Fort Mill; the county bridge be-
tween Rock Hill and Lancaster and
the Southern and Seaboard railway
bridges at Catawba Junction.
The loss of the two county bridges
amounts to about $4,000, the South
ern bridge on the line to Charlotte
cost probably $4,000 and the Sea,
board bridge at Catawba as much
The Southern bridge on the Charles
| ton division at Catawba was wooden
structure costing probably $4,000
The total loss on these bridges will
approach close to S150,O00.
With a food in the Catawba esti-
mated at from 50 to 40 feet Of water
the bridges could not Withstand the
force of the water when the immense
amount of debris in the stream col
lected against their framework
Heroic efforts were made to save the
railroad bridges, but it was found i'm
possible to keep them clear of trees
lumber, houses, cotton and other de-
bris which has been coming down IL
immense quantities. From the appear
ance of the river it seems that a clean
sweep is being made along the stream
in North Carolina Several hundred
bales of cotton have passed this place
today. 1t is said that this came from
cotton mills in CASTOR county, North
Carolina, where warehouses nave
been destroyed and several mills are
reported flooded.
Following the destruction of the
bridge on the Southern at Belmont
N. c., Southern trains between Char.
lotte and Atlanta, in both directions
were detoured by way of this city and
Blacksburg. The last train, however
crossed the river early last night an1
after midnight no trains were allowed
to make the trip between here and
Charlotte. The wisdom of this order
was disclosed this morning at $50
o'clock when about tWo-thirds of the
| bridge over the CataWba went down
At $50 the remainder toppled into
the water, several citizens who had
ventured on the structure having q
narrow escape from death At vari-
Gus times during the morning the
county bridge between here and Ian

height, 31.3 feet, and up to noon To-
day it had fallen only little over a
foot.
Seaboard Trestle Gone.
The washing away of the Seaboard
railroad trestle over the Wateree Ri7-
er at Camden was the chief news OF
interest in connection with the food
damage here today. The waters
were flowing over the trestle this
morning, and all trains were forbid
den to pass. The fast Florida Flyer
was parked in Columbia, while the
south bound train was stopped at
Camden. The tremendous food hur-
rying south in the Wateree was too
much for the trestle and one span
broke away about noon and was car
ried hurrying down the stream.
Manager Fred Marshall of Colum-
bia Office of the Bel Telephone
Company, said Uheir one remaining
wire across the river was carried
down by the washing out of the tres
tie. There have been no trains to
Camden either by the Southern or
Seaboard today, and that city is cut
off from the rest of the world, as far
as rail communication is concerned.
How Trains Are Routed.
The Seaboard sent two trains out
to the North today over the Coast
Line via Sumter and Florence. The
trains for Atlanta were routed over
the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens
to Clinton, where the line of the Sea-
board west was taken up.
The Southern Railway was using
the tracks of the Seaboard to HamIel
yesterday for several Of their Wash,
ington-Atlanta trains, but with the
closing of that route the main lines
trains were detoured over the Atlantic
Coast Line tracks to Selma, Ala, and
thence south. The Augusta specia.
has been running only between New
York and Charlotte for two days.
The Southern is maintaining a local
service between Columbia and Rock
Hill, but not beyond, for the washing
away of the bridge across the CataW-
ba closed the line to Charlotte. The
Southern trains to Greenville are
routed over the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens as far as Newberry. No
trains are being run on the Spartan
burg division, for the track from SHel-
ton almost to Columbia is said to be
under water.
To Charleston Via Blackville.
The Southern trains to Charleston
are being routed via Blackville. The
trestle at Kingville is still intact, but
the rapidly rising waters of the Wa
teree lead the Southern officials, as
matter of precaution, to close the
bridge to traffic and to route the
Charleston trains over the line via
Blackville. A freight train of coal
cars is kept standing on the Kingville
trestle. and it is hoped that the flood
waters of the Wateree will let it es-
cape unscatched.
The damage done to the railroads
through the destruction of trestles
and track is enormous and cannot yet
be estimated. 1t is thought that the
damage will total much more than
even the food of 1908.
The Southern sent out train ana
wrecking crew up the Spartanburg
and Greenville line towards Aston for
the purpose of inspection this after
noon. Various reports that the tres
tie across Broad River, at Aston and
