GREAT DAMAGE DONE BY HIGH
WATER IN THIS SECTION

East Tennessee, Western North Car
DINA and Southwest Virginia have
been deluged with rains during the
T ast thirty-six hours and as a result
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty have been damaged and farm
lands, in many sections, have been
totally devastated by tn efloods, the
crops having been completely washed
away or buried with the soil and de-
bris. This is particularly the case in
the river valleys and lowlands. No
/ loss of life is reported
From reports received here the
rains were the heaviest in the noun
tain sections of East Tennessee and
Western North Carolina, where the
damage to railway lines and farms
has been very severe. On the c.. G..
& 0. railway, above Unaka Springs,
near the state line, it is reported that
about 1900 yards of the railway track
have been washed away, while east
of that point a lumber of slides have
occurred, as well as other washouts.
Wrecking crews have been dispatch
ed to the scenes of the slides and it
is stated that it will require several
days to remove the slides and replace
the tracks SO that trains may be op-
Grated. All day Sunday and through
Sunday night it was feared that the
bridge over the c., C. & o. railway
would be washed out, but Monday
morning found the waters subsiding
and the fears were allayed. Many
homes at Unaka Springs and Loves
station on this line were flooded Sun
day and much damage done to prop
erty.
The Watauga and Chuckey rivers
reached high stage Sunday morning
and as a result farm lands were bad
ly washed and crops in some instance
entirely ruined. TIL ewood work OF
the Embreeville railway bridge at
Embreeville was washed out Sunday
and for hours it was expected tina.
the iron and steel structure would
go out, but this did not occur. At
Elizabethton, it is stated, that a num-
Der of families in the upper section
of the town were forced to move to
higher ground on account of the rise |
in the river there.
Reports received from Butler and |
other points in Johnson county tell of
great damage done. One report says
that a number of washouts occurred |
on tn eV. & S. w. railroad in that |
county and that part of the bridge |
across the river near Maymeade was
washed out and that road is practi-
cally at a standstill.
The rain in Washington county and
Johnson City was the most severe
that has been witnessed in years and
as a result incalculable damage has
been done to the farm lands, espe-
cially to corn and late hay crops. In
Johnson City number of buildings,
especially on Vets Main street, were
flooded by tn ehigh waters. The Co
ca Cola Co., on West Main street, and
the JonesVance Drug Co., at the
corner of Upton and Buffalo streets,
were perhaps the worst flooded.
The river at Kingsport is reported |
10 have reached high stage of 17ia
feet. Great damage was don Elm this |
section to farm lands and crops.
