Damage in Whitewater Valley

The Whitewater Inn was the head
quarters Sunday of number of auto
mobile parties looking over the hardest
hit sections of country caused by the
breaking of the Toxaway DAM The
Whitewater Inn and Whitewater valley
suffered heavily. The water backed
two miles up Whitewater river, carry
ing great piles Of driftwood and timber
which were left along the river and IN
the bottom lands. 1t would be hard for
one to realize the great amount of drift
wood and the enormous size of the
trees unless they could see them. In
the front yard of the Inn, just few
feet from the house. is great tree
fully DO feet long and s feet through.
The water was IL to 15 feet deep in
the hotel yard and completely ruined
everything on the first floor of the hotel
Practically all the chickens were killed
and oil the groceries were DESTROYED.
Inc store house was picked up and
moved about 80 feet and completely
turned around Every in it was
ruined, S. d. Hinkle. who operates
the hotel. estimates that his damage has
been between $4,000 and 5000. Mr..
Hinkle is son of Mr.. and Mrs. Silas
Hinkle, and they with their daughters,
Lula and Florida, are now the only ones
at the hotel. These good people, un:-r :
daunted by the disaster that has come
their way, have set about with stout
hearts and in spirit that is charac-
teristic of the good people of this sec
section. to repair the damage az best
they can.
During the flood Mrs. Hinkle lost
churn full OF buttermilk. The next day
it was found in an upright position
in field about 200 yards below the
hotel. 1t had foated out of the kitchen
through all the wreckage and not a
drop had been spilled.
The hotel property is owned by w.
M. Brown of Walhalla. 1t is estimated
that his damage is several thousand
dollars. When asked about getting
pay for the damage done his property.
MIR. Brown said that he expected to be
paid. He stated that he was willing to
place his case in the hands of men
familiar with conditions and to be salts
fled with the estimate that they should
place upon it. but that he expected the
Toxaway company to pay him damages.
The crops are completely devastated
all along the Whitewater and Keowee
rivers. The section of road by the
Chapman bridge known as the laurel,
which affords some of the prettiest
scenery in the South, has been COM
pietely demolished. This road ran
along ledge in bend in the river and
now nothing Is left But the rocky preci-
pice. A new road had just been graded
from the laurel toward the hotel and
now this in rendered worthless.
The damage in the mountain section
of Pickens and Oconee counties has
been great.

win be the biggest In years.
Each faction named a full list OF candi.
dates for the municipal Offices. but they are
united for Walter f. Edge for the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor and Con-
gresham Isaac Bacharach for reelection.
The vote for United States Senator will
favor Franklin Murphy.
Mayor Adams is seeking reelection, and
is opposed by Thomas r. Crawford. the

ing reelection to the Board OF Freeholders
on the league ticket In the Second Ward
and Is opposed by Robert Willis, the regular
clubs candidate In the First Ward Lewis
Smith is seeking reelection TO the county
board on the regular ticket and is opposed
by Clark Adams the league candidate.
Each organization has three candidates for
City Council and the vote will be close.
Last night the league had a rally IN
Hubin's Theater and the other side was
busy In various sections Assembiyman
Whitman Is seeking reelection, but is op.
posed by the regular club because he entered

Missouri Man Smokes and
Laughs as He Goes to
Face Charge

ST. JOSEPH. Mo, Sept. 2e.--oscar Nc.

a search for the murderer Of his wiz,
today was held without bail charged with
the murder. He plans to conduct his own
case at the preliminary hearing tomorrow,
Mcdaniel went to his Arrangement with
the air OF a man going to try case,
rather than that of a man about 10 face
murder charge. Between puffs of cgar
he laughed and joked with the two deputy
sheriffs who accompanied him.
Mcdaniel has been taken from the city
jail~to the county jail. isolated from the
other prisoners and confined In the hospital
ward. because many of the prisoners in
the county jail were prosecuted by him
Until the stains on a metal rod found IN
the Mcdaniel home have been analyzed the
State will place little dependence on the
finding of the alleged death weapon. spe-
clal Prosecutor Lockwood says the case
against Mcdaniel is complete without IL
With only little more than a molth
remaining before the election, tho special
prosecutor doubted today that a verdict
could be reached before the prisoner goes
before the county for reelection as county
prosecutor. But Lockwood promised to ex-
pedite the case. 1t is probable Mcdaniel
will be on trial on election day.

WHITMAN WILL NOT
CALL EXTRA SESSION;
NEW PLAN FOR TTE-UP
Governor Doesn't Believe Strike
Situation Demands Action.
Labor Chiefs Have SYM
pathy Trump Card
SAY KEY UNION STRUCK"

NEW YORK. Sept 26.--Governor Whit

today that lie would not call special ses.
sion of the New York Legislature TO deal
with the general strike here called for TO.
morrow morning He said he would re.
ceive the committee OF legislators this after.
noon, but made II clear that he did not
believe the present situation called for such
drastic action.
A new plan OF strategy has been evolved
by the conference OF labor leaders for the
Industrial tie-up
The majority OF the individual unions that
are TO be enlisted In the general walkout In
sympathy with the striking carmen will be
placed in position where they can tell
their employers
I'VE did not want to strike. We we're
forced to suspend work because the key
union struck"
Hugh Frayne. State organizer for the
American Federation of Labor. admitted
that in this way the leaders hope TO realize
their threat to tie UP the whole city.
With this sweeping change in the tactics
Of the strike agitators and the refusal OF
Governor Whitman to cah a special session
Of the Legislature, the situation has as
eumed more serious proportions.

that there will not be any hitch in our

majority will go out, and before the week
is over many more trades will follow suit"
In explaining the new plan under which

POLICE SEEK TO TRACE
DEATH-DEALNG BULLET
Evidence That 1t Came From
Magazine Pistol Starts In
quiry at Navy Yard

The theory Of the police that William
Richter, the painter and paperhanger, was
shot by stray bullet from a weapon used
by boys hunting rats among the city dumps
as he sat on the steps of his home at
Hancock and Skunk streets Sunday night
was shaken today when Coroner's PhysI-
clan William Wadsworth announced that
the bullet was from large weapon. 1t
was OF .38 caliber. steel-jacketed, nickel
plated. sharp-pointed and of high speed 1t
is believed to have been shot from a
magazine pistol.
On this finding. Detectives William Bel
shaw. William Callahan and Coroner's
Detective Frank Paul went to the marine
barracks at the navy yard to see II the
bullet could not have been shot from a
pistol there, perhaps during target practice
Yet the detectives know that the target at
which the sailors and marines shoot is In
an opposite direction from that which would
have caused a bullet to strike at Hancock
and Skunk streets.
1t might have been shot, however, from
the navy yard in another way
Whether or not such weapons are used
at the Navy Yard is a question ehe de-
tectives want answered. They doubt that
they are. But II their investigations in the
Navy Yard. disclose no clues they will
work on the theory that the shot was fred
by watchman or a tramp among the
freight cars which stand on a line with
Skunk street, down which the bullet seemed
to have sped.
Mrs. Margaret Chance, with whom
Richter was talking when he was struck
and killed, was questioned today by Captain
Of Detectives James Tate What she had
to say. however, did not help toward a
solution OF how Richter was shot

GHOST STORIES AND "BOGIES"
DECRIED BY EDUCATOR
Evil in Their Effect on Youthful Imagi-
nation, Teachers Are Told

The evil effects of ghost stories, bogie-
man stories and other similar fgments of
the imagination were emphasized by Robert
L. Burns, district superintendent in his
address to teachers of the William A Nc
Call School, Seventh and De Lancey streets,
today. Mr. Burns declares that he has
found any number of adults who suffer
with vague dread and even with well-da-
fined fears from having had these hobgob-
Inns of childhood dinged into their ears I'm
the earliest and most imaginative period OF
their lives.
Mr.. Burns not only advises the total
abolition OF such stories by teachers, but
advises teachers to instruct parents not TO
comfort the imaginations OF their children
in this way.
