MARIA CHILES DEATH.

We are informed by Capt. NJ. B.
Syfan of the Southern Railway, that
the reports current on the streets on
Thursday last that Maria Watt
Chiles was killed while the crew of
the Southern Railway was making
a flying switch, which report was
published in this paper, were incor-
rect. Mr.. Syfan tells US that the
negro woman was run over by the
engine, which was heading down the
freight depot track at about the
point where the passenger track
branches off for the passenger depot.
Neither the engineer nor the fireman
saw the woman before she was
struck, and there was no eye witness
as to the cause of the accident so
far as has been ascertained by those
in charge.

made to distribute the fruit on ev-
cry market by men employed by the
Fruit Association. From the day
this plan was adopted the fruit grow
ers began to obtain reasonable
price for their products.
Other produce can be handled in
the same way. And the things which
it is necessary for the people of this
section to buy may be bought in the
same way. If we could keep the
politicians out of business of this
kind, the farmers might buy all their
corn, meat, and other products, as
well as all kinds of household goods,
at much lower prices and save a
great amount of money. At the
same time they might find a ready
and better market for the prod
ucts they have for sale.
It would result in the country
going, on a cash basis to be sure,
but that is what the country has
needed so long. When we can get
rid of the credit business in this Sec
ton, and when every man trades
for cash and one mans dollar is as
good as the dollar of every other
man, the country will begin to make
progress. We may have fewer mer-
chants, it is true, but we will have
more farmers who produce products
for sale. The people who produce
are the only people who add to the
assets of a country after all.

THE EPIDEMIC.

There have been fewer cases Of
the influenza for the last several

recovered as to be out on Sunday.
He went to work among his patients
again on Monday morning.
Only one death has been reported

whites-that of Mrs. Gilbert, the
wife of the gentleman whose death

fine work in helping relieve the sick.

Damage Follows
Piedmont Floods
MUCH PROPERTY WRECKED IN
GREENVILLE SECTION-RAIL-
ROADS ARE HARD HIT
BY FLOOD.

GreenNille. cdnserva-
lively estimated at upwards of $10o-
600 was caused to business and resi-
Dental property in this city along
the valley of the Reedy River Friday
afternoon when the river, swollen to
a record breaking volume by unpre-
cedented rains in the upper section
of the county, dashed in a mad tor
rent through the city sweeping bridg-
es, railroad trestles and other struc-
lures before it.
The Piedmont & Northern Rail-
way is perhaps one of the heaviest
sufferers. One section of 1000 feet
of roadway was washed down or un-
dermined by the waters, the yard
offices just on the edge of the city
were washed away, and officials say
it will probably be two days before
any more trains can be operated.
The Greenville & Western Railway,
which operated between GreenvilleI
and Travellers Rest, was completely
put out of commission and the sta
tion in this city, which is near the,
edge of the river, was completely
surrounded by water, so that two Of
ficials who were caught in one of the
offices on the second floor had to
climb out by means of ladder on
to a box car in the yards. A number
of bridges along the course of the
river were washed away completely
and others were flooded.
Industrial Plants Suffer.
Heavy damage was suffered by a.
number of industrial plants situated
on three sides the rivers near Main
Street, buildings of the American
Machine Manufacturing Company,
the Acme Loom, Reed and Harness
Works, Nuckassee Manufacturing
Company and others were partial
ly flooded and machinery badly
damaged. A trestle which was part
of siding of the Charleston & Wes-
tern Carolina Railway and which
crossed the river just under the
Main Street concrete bridge was en-
tirely destroyed and two box cars,
one of them loaded with junk, were,
turned over in the stream and wash
ed down.
Large numbers of small houses in
the upper section of the river valley,
known as the Meadow" were flood
ed by the rising waters and in some
cases it became necessary to drive
wagons into the area to get the peo-,
pie out of the houses so fast did the
water rise. Throngs of people re-
mained on the Main Street bridge
until a late hour Friday night
watching the mad rush of water.
Old inhabitants declart that the
Reedy has broken all. previous rec
ords in the flood line.
The bursting or serious damaging
of large water mains which pass
through Reedy River as a result of
the flooded conditions of the river,
left large sections of the city with
cute any water whatever and reduc-
ed the pressure in the remaining Sec
tions to a very low point. The con-
ditions will be remedied, it is believ-
ed, as soon as the waters recede suf-,
ficiently to enable repairs to be made
but the indications are that consid-
cradle embarrassment and perhaps
some actual suffering will result
before this can be done.

NEED WAR FUND
EVEN AFTER PEACE
LEADERS POINT OUT ESSENTIAL
NATURE OF ACTIVITIES DUR
ING DECENTRALIZATION.

Peace will not lessen, it will inten-
sify the work of the seven welfare
organizations which, at the suggeS-
ton of President Woodrow Wilson,
have combined in drive for funds
next week under the name of the
United War Work Campaign.
This is the message the state and
county executive committees are try
ing to drive home on the eve of col
lecting the big war fund chest, to-
wards which the state is asked to
contribute $1,7O5,0 900, of which $685.
$40 in Thurston county's total.
There will be the need of serving
100000 and more men abroad from
the time fighting ends to the time
they are finally returned to their
homes, as well as continuing the
work in army cantonments until the
final muster out. In fact, to careful
observers of the conditions, it be-
comes more apparent daily that it is
these welfare agencies that will be
1.-The last on the job" in the final mop
ping-up of the wars aftermath.
1t is the proneness of human ma
ture Ito turn to something else" that
gives deep concern to the combined
organization that is now planning to
raise the big $170,500,000 fund nee
essary to keep the soldier, sailor and
marine physically fit and mentally
cheerful. The question they are ask
ing is: "Will the public forget SO
soon what these men have done for
the glory of their country; will the
public abandon them Immediately at
the conclusion of their great achieve
ment of helping to beat the HUM"
At the close of the war, while de-
mobilization is in progress, the re-
sponsibility and work of returning
these men to their homes, as good or
better than when they left, will fall
almost entirely on the welfare organ
izations which have kept in touch
with them, is the earnest assurance
of the persons engaged in the United
War Work. Campaign. which opens
next Monday and concludes the fol-
lowing Sunday.
The seven societies which have
combined for and are in perfect uni
son with the impending drive are:
The War Camp Community Service,
National Catholic War Council
knights of Columbus), Salvation
Army, American Library Association,
Jewish Welfare Board, Young Wom-
ems Christian Association and Young
Mems Christian Association.
In the face of the influenza Quaran-
tine the local committee is going
ahead with its plans for the drive. At
present the use of the church, the
theater and the public rostrum is de-
MED to all on account of the cpl
demic. Whether this ban will lift by
the time the U. w. w. Campaign is
launched is. something no person can
foresee. 1t means big handicap for
this drive.
The movement for raising the
fund. which has had the heartiest in
dorsement of the president, and from
him on down through the army and
navy chiefs, is being helped by every
body in authority at the national cap
ital. Postmaster General Burleson,
for instance, directed that rural mail
carriers deliver U. w. w. propaganda
and help spread the news. The car
riers started in on this work early
this week.
