FORTY ARE MISSING
In Carolina FlOOds-In Three States
Situation Is Growing Worse and
the Damage May Reach $780,
100000 Railway and Wire
Service Crippled.

Raleight, n. c., July 17-With forty
or more persons missing, the Hood
situation in North and South Carolina
and Virginia caused by torrential rains
became worse today. Scores OF fac
tories we're unable to open their doors
and early estimates were that fully
20, 900 workers had been made idle.
The property damage, at first con-
servatively estimated at $1O,00O,O0O in
creased hourly today as the rising
waters carried away building after
building that had withstood the first
rush and it is feared the total damage
will go over $2O,OOO,OOO.
The flood has so crippled railway.
telegraphic and telephone communi-
cation that large districts are COM
pletely cut off from the rest of the
world In some of these sections there
may have been heavy loss of life.
Railroad advices say that the flood
was also having a serious effect in the
western part of Virginia. Train SER
vice there has been discontinued be-
cause of the washing away of several
bridges and long stretches of track
along the swollen rivers.
In North Carolina alone more than
1000 men, women and children have
been rendered homeless, according to
reports. The loss of life in Asheville
would have been large but for the eff
forts of rescue parties that were or
ganized as soon as the situation be-
came dangerous.
Several members of the rescue
forces were swept away in their small
boats and have not been found. Among
the missing are three women nurses
who turned out to assist at the first
call for help.
Employees of the Vanderbilt estate
at Biltmore are assisting in the rescue
work in the Asheville district. Some
sections of the estate have been food
ed, but latest reports indicate that no
serious damage has been done there.
The railroads are heavy sufferers
