One of the most humiliatine

that can come to a member OF

DAM BREAKS; n. c.
AGAIN FLOODED

Asheville, n. c., Aug. IL
The Lake TOXaway dam weakened
by the recent floods, broke last
night, sending a great wall of
water down the valley toward
western South Carolina. No
lives thus far have been reported
lost, and warnings sent out from
several cities are believed to have
enabled most persons in the path
of the Hood to reach safety.
TIL lake, an artificial body Of
water, was created in 1912 by
eastern capitalists. II covered
800 acres to an average depth of
thirty feet. The dam, an eighth
of a mile long and tifty feet high,
was completely destroyed. The
town of Lake Toxaway suffered
only minor damage, although the
lake was completely drained.
The released waters last night
were rushing through the ToYa.I

1t was estimated that the Hood
would reach SenIca by midnight.
Persons familiar with the ter
IitOry last night expressed the
belief that the waters would
spread out over the uninhab;ted
country Immediately south of
Lake ToXaway and thus minimize
the possibility of extensive dam
age.
The waters ultimately wiz flow
into the Savannah river through
its various tributaries in ives tern
North Carolina.
The lake was crpatcl i'm con.

and had a shore line Of fifteen
miles. The dam was constructed
at a cost of about $4,000.

THEY SAW SOME SNAKE.
Ramblers Magnify Reptile to Ana
conda's Proportions.

Frank Johnson and John Breese,
living here, are authority for the
statement that a snake between fif-
teen and twenty feet long is at large
in this vicinity. They declare it is
evidently an anaconda.
The two men were walking across
field near the Forest Hill ceme-
terry, and, according to their state
ment, the snake glided from a pile
of rocks, moved swiftly across an
open field and disappeared at the
opening of an old sewer. Breese
emptied the contents of a high-cali-
bered revolver at the reptile, but the
snake kept going. The men are un-
qualified in the assertion that the
reptile was about twenty feet long.
Several years ago, when a circus
train was sidetracked near Somerton,
report was current that a number of
large snakes had escaped from their
cages, and this story has been re-
vived.-Somerton, Pa, dispatch to
Philadelphia Record.

FROZEN FISH.
John Bull and the Refrigerator Ques-
ton.

Recently from across the sea,
writes Anne Sheriff. Baird, in June
Southern Woman's, came the news:
United States and Canada meth
ods of refrigerating fish may be
adopted in England. Agitation in
favor of such step was started here
at a recent meeting of the Cold
Storage and Ice association, when it
was pointed out that the prejudice of
the English people against frozen
fish was largely due to the fact that
the freezing was seldom begun when
the fish was fresh, as in the case in
the United States and Canada
If you are going to freeze a fish,
it is, of course, bright idea to start
in time. Procrastination should be
avoided. Perhaps the refrigerator
demonstrators failed to make this
point clear to British conservatism.
Fortunately it now has been eluci-
dated, and cold storage plants will be
established at the fishing ports.

This announcement was made by

scribed as very pleasant and salts
factory conference between himself
and Mayor Hyde.
81 have been much gratified, the
governor stated, "at the reports
which I have received showing the
steady Improvement of conditions in
Charleston as regards the enforce
ment of the liquor laws.
mayor Hyde, am convinced, has
this situation we'll in hand. Accord
ingly, l am issuing instructions con-
fining the activities Of the State con-
stables in future to patrolling the wa
ters about the city and the territory
which lies outside the city limits. -
