catawba High Water.
Although the water in the Catawba
rose to a considerable height last week,
1t was not nearly so high as in the
Broad, and nothing like as high as
during the freshet of 1916. Mr.. J. $.
Glasscock Of Harmony, who owns con-
siderable land on the Catawba, WIS in
Yorkville yesterday for a shor. time.
He said that the river vas about IL
feet above the ordinary level on Tues-
day Of last week, and after the flood
had subsidized somewhat, 1t rose again
on Wednesday to about fourteen feet.
During the first flood farmers along
the river went into the bottoms to save
all the corn they could, and they got
out quite a lot of il. The information
Tuesday was that the second rise was
to be higher than the first, and the
farmers got busy again, but the water
did not get so high as before. Much
lowland corn was flooded during the
first rise, and most Of that which was
flooded was destroyed, except such ds
could be gotten out and shuckcd. Mr.
Glasscock calculated that about $50
bushels Of corn were lost In his bottoms
II the river had gotten up four or five
feet higher, he said, the corn losses
would have amounted to thousands o.
bushels where they amounted to hun-
dreds.
Woman's War Work Campaign.
Pursuant to calls sent out byMrs. J.
r. Cannon Of Yorkville, chairman of
the Woman's War Work campaign in
the western district Of York county,
quite q number Of representative wo-
men from different parts Of the dis
trict, met at the courthouse last FRI
day to discuss the situation and form
ulate plans. The drive is to be prose-
cuted during the week Of November
Ills, and the western districts pro-
portion Of the big fund is to be a little
over $4,000. This is the aggregate
amount expected of all the different
auxiliary organizations that are taking
the field in behalf Of the work; but the
ladies present at the meeting seemed
to feel that however grateful they
would feel for any and all assistance
from other sources, theirs would be
the greatest burden Of the responsible
ity until the required sum had been
turned in. After thorough considera-
ton of the entire situation it was de-
cided that the best way to go about the
work would be for the chairman toI
appoint good working committees in
each district and urge these commit
tees to canvass every man, woman and
child in their respective districts. Mrs.
