Carolina, still awake anXiously await

ed last night by the breaking OF the
great dam at Lake ToXaway, y. c.
Warnings of the foods approach were
sent broadcast through Pickens, Wal
halla. Oconee and Anderson counties
enabled jewellers in the lowlands to
prepare TO move if necessary.
The collapse of the dam released a
lake which covered $50 acres to an aver
age depth of thirty feet, but so far
as known no lives were lost. At Lake
Toxaway village, a noted summer resort,
only minor damage was reported.

stone and earth structure is believed to
have caused the collapse. The water
course through North Carolina ran
through an almost uninhabited section
of Pennsylvania county. Early today
no reports of damage had been re-

crops suffered severely. Preparations
were made by industrial plants in South
Carolina to combat the force of the

dams and otherwise preparing for high

EPIDEMIC OF PARALYSIS
TAKES TURN FOR BETTER
IRu Assncia+ad Press. J

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-THE epidemic
of infantile paralysis took a turn for
the better today. The number of new
cases reported to the health department
went under the 100 mark for the first
time in several weeks. During the twen-
ty-four hours ending at 10 a. m. the
plague killed 81 children and 95 new
cases were reported. 43 of them in Man.
haitian and 81 in Brooklyn. This COM
pares favorably with yesterdays figures
when there were 141 new cases and p
fatalities The falling off in cases was
attributed to the cooler weather.
Physicians employed by the health
department to investigate reported cases
of infantile paralysis hereafter will be
equipped with serum made from the
blood of persons who have recovered
from the disease, so that in every true
case an injection may be made at once,
before the patient is removed to hos
pital.
This action has been decided upon by
the health department because the best
results of the serum have been obtain
ed in cases where the disease was in
the premonitory stages, when the symp-
toms mainly are high fever and restless
ness and before paralysis has developed.
Physicians engaged in field work have
been instructed to watch closely the 9TH
er children in the family. one member of
which has been stricken, and to treat
them with the serum at the first ap-
pearance Of a symptom Of the disease.

lists. 1t covers $50 acres to an average
depth of thirty feet. The dam, an eighth
of a mile long and fifty feet high, was
completely destroyed. The town of Lake
Toxaway suffered only minor damage,
though the lake was completely drained
The lake was created in connection
with a summer resort and had a shore
line of fifteen miles. The dam was con-
structed at a cost of about $4,000.
Toxaway is the third and largest Of
the lakes in western North Carolina
mountains to go out since July 16, when
heavy rains caused serious floods in that
section.
Several years ago cotton mill own
ers whose plants were in the path of the
waters should they escape, employed eX-
pert engineers to investigate the safety
of the dam. Following the engineers re-
port the structure, which is built of
earth and stone, was strengthened.
Four weeks ago, during the flood pc
riod, fears for the dams safety were re-
peatedly expressed and there were sew
eral reports that it had collapsed.

of committees, adjournment was taken
until Wednesday.
The delegates and visitors this after

perfunctory investigation of the IN

manded in the annual report President
Marsden G. Scott made to the convention
today.

COLUMBIA, :. -, AUG. 12.-Water let
loose from artificial Lake Toxaway
when the cam broke last night and
swept down the valley below, had not
caused great damage nor any casualties
in the western part of South Carolina
according to reports today. Every
means Of communication was pressed
into service last night to warn inhabi-
tants i'm the path of the food and they
had ample time to save movable prop
erty and themselves get to places of
safety.
The flood water did not rush south
ward as rapidly as expected. Observers
believed it would reach Anderson, 5. C.,
by midnight. Later the time was post
poned to o'clock this morning, but it
did not get there until $3.50 this morn
ing and then had spent much Of its
force. Little damage was expected in
that section.
The weather bureau at Augusta ex-
pected little more than a ive-foot rise
in the Savannah river there. That would
do no damage. The exact rise to be
expected. however, cannot be definitely
established until the water moves far
