forming a state association among the French ocieties and clubs Through out the tate the rapid progress of the French people is attracting much fa- vorable attention and it is the belief of many of the members of the pres ent state convention that an associa- ton to act as a governing body should be formed. While none of the local members of the convention have put in much effort to secure a place on the officers board next year, many are using their influence to induce Joseph Beloin, one of the hardest workers in the interest of the various French societies and who has been a moving spirit in the coming convention, to accept the place as vice president for the ensuing term. It is also prophe sled that Waterbury and Willimantic will put up strong fight to land the convention in 1917.

Columbia, July 30.--The Wateree
wver, durips the recent flood, left its
own course and made an entire new
channel. according to the report of
United. States Engineer Towles who
mas Investigated the river. This de-
tour OF the river will prevent the re-
construction of the washed-away Ker-
shaw highway bridge ait ITS old site.
unless a vast amount Of money is ex-
pended for it's rebuilding, stated Com
Watson, of the State de-
partment Of agriculture, this .morning.
The highway bridge crossed Wateree
river at n benz. The. flood waters of
the river cut through this bend. and
The old southern approach to the
structure Is now in the middle of the
stream, which ia twice the breadth
that 1t formerly was. What was once
the 'ehannel is now holding the back
water of the river. 1t is thought
That the reconstruction of the bridge
at this point will be impracticable:
mat II should be erected above the
Soaboard trestle, should Kershaw
cnnnty vote new bond issue for it's
rebuilding.

WATSON ISSUES ROAD MAP.

Will be Distributed.
Columbia, duly 31.-A new highway
map of South = Carolina has just been
issued by E. J. Watson, commissioner
of agriculture, commerce and indus
tries, and is to be generally distributed
at once. A definite color scheme has
been followed that the casual observer
may be able to discriminate between
national. State and sectional highways.
Another distinct feature of the map
is the preservation of the historical
background. The Indian paths and
public roads which obtained in 1777
have been traced distinctly and prop
erly marked, this being reproduced
from the famous MOuzon map of that
Fperiod.a rhese routes were the only
avenues Of transportation at that time.
Sites of many Of the 'battlefelds of the
Revolution have also been marked in
red lettering, and other spots of
|unusmal historic interest, together
with the dates are thus recorded. 1t
is proposed to ierect suitable markers
along the arterial highways, giving
distances and directions to these
points, i% ~ Hr
All the principal connecting public
highways have been traced. in black
ink. Only roads that may be used by
|motOrs with some degree of satisfac-
tion have been mapped; only the ave-
nues usually designated as main high
ways, Distances between all places
of Importance on the highways are
|designated.9 Sc, -,

1t vase stsht worth seeing to go
down to the st. Paul section and look
At the red water which backed outinto
the low lands four or, five miles from
the river swamp and icoverd thous-
ands of. acres of crops and woodlands
In sight of the Levi store. The writer
paid q trip through that section to
look at the sights and to get line on
the situation as much as possible con-
cerning the crops. from the Levi
store at st. Paul could be seen vast
body OF water. Hike a large lake, COW
Icsingt, fields and woods. witch boats
plying ON at, and houses surrounded
with iwater. some Inhabitants having
IDloved out, while ,others remained at
home with water up no the steps. Mr.
IQe King swas swNrrounde hut remain
!sd at home. while his friends would go
to see him in boats. 1T is out of the
question to attempt to- describei the
many places which were covered with
water sbetw cen St Paul and the river
swamp. as hundreds of acres. of crops
were covered with water, for days,
and the damage will go into the many
thousands. At ;st. Paul and Remini
people were coming from far and
near. In cars, buggies. and by wagon
loads to see the great sight. It looked
'as II tneysxere going to a great camp
meeting.
At Remini. the waters were tursu-
'aentyand raging, and at this iittle
place nany visitors from far and near
'sfaulds cupisresate every day ito see, the
sights. One could walk for perhaps a
fl,ah male intp the, swamp on the rail-
read tracks on, the edge Of the enbank-
rlnent. before he reached the place
where tthe tracks were covered. with
the ragtpg waters down on. both sides
OF him. The distance from the Clar-
endon hill across to the Orangebure
hill is some five miles. and through
the rikht or way across the swamp to
'the orahseburg hill There was q beau
tiful panorama presented. like the
'harbor in Charleston or some other
arm of the sea, as the winds made the
water serge into waves and sparkle In
the sunshine. Several hundred load
ed cars had libeen ,placsd along prac-
,tioally Jtha ,entisD distance where the
track was covered. and at some Of the
planes we (leRrned that the waters rose
over the tracks htgh enough TO run
thropeh, the box cars and that boats
were paddled through the box cars
standing ,on the tracks. Telegraph
poles and wires,in the swamp wero
completely covered. and engines with
steam UP all thestime were kept hitch
ed TO the cars TO pull as many of them
out as possible and save them in case
the trestle began to give way.
