FLOOD DAMAGE WILL COST
UNION COUNTY 5000. 900
Bridges Washed Away and Crops nued-Geat Inconvenience
Owing TO Road Conditions and Mail Infenupfions-Home
of Mr. L. B. Letter. JL. at Sanfuc, Unroofed

Not in the minds of the oldest in
habitants has there been n.ore de-
structive rains than fell throughout
the county, beginning late Friday af-
ternoon and continuing practically
without interruption for Lh;rty-six
hours. And it was after a terrific
downpour. Crops throughout the
county have been seriously inbred.
Bottom lands, in which corn was
growing, has in many cases been
swept bare. Bridges and roads have
suffered greatly and the lock of ma.l
connections has worked great in
convenience. Harris bridge oyer the
Forest on the Sedalia road is down.
Rice's bridge over the Forest on the
way from Buffalo to West Springs is
down. The bridge on Big Browns
creek is down. A large number of
small bridges throughout the county
has been swept away. The bride over
the Forest at Murphy's Shoals is bad
ly damaged and has been condemned.
Broad river, at Lockhart and Neal
Shoals, was higher by five feet than
it was in the Pacolet flood Only one
or two feet of the Neal Shoals power
house was not submerged. The Union
and Glenn Springs track just this side
of Neal Shoals was washed away in
two places, one about seventy-fve
yards and the other perhaps two hun
dred yards in length.
The high trestle on the Union and
Glenn Springs railway below Neal
Shoals is swept away and quite con-
siderable bit of the track below there
has gone with the raging flood. Many
people from Union went down Sun
day and Monday to see the angry
waters. 1t is probable that it will re-
qulre {. month to get train through
to Neal Shoals and it will be perhaps
two weeks before the power plant at
Neal Shoals can be gotten ready for
operation. Broad river, when it
swept away the railway this side of
the shoals, took to an old channel in
which it had flown during former
freshets, thus leaving the residences
on the knoll near the shoals an island.
The residents left out Sunday morn
ing about 3 o'clock anC when they
were informed that the waters were
overfowing the railway track this side
of the shoals.
At Lockhart a portion of the dam
gave way and the cloth room was in
undated, but the damage was COM
paratively light. The homes of the
operatives suffered no damage to any
great extent. Union and Buffalo

water in the Wateree than the record
and less than the record in the Con-

The water at Rimini and at Fergu-

same is true along the Yadkin.
Asheville was getting yesterday to
something like normal, with gangs of
workmen busy rebuilding plants and
clearing debris. There was limited
electric power and health authorities
were taking stringent measures to

In Tennessee the flood waters were
about stationary Great damage was
done to crops, railroads, mills and
warehouses throughout the flooded
area in the eastern part of the State.
Many towns and villages there were

tracks was proceeding rapidly. Con-
