mad waters had washed away tho
earth and the water whirled around
the concrete wings in ugly fashion.
beginning at Heath's Corner the
deluge followed the concrete road on
both sides Of the concrete roadway. A
landslide about 800 yards north of
Grog's branch widened the path and
the water flowed down the slope to-
ward Hampton's creek The water at
the creek had broadened until a lake
had formed on the east side of tho
new bridge. The water rushed
through the broad opening at the rate
or about IL miles an hour and every
now and then heavy pieces of timber
would strike portion of the struc-
ture. At 6 o'clock yesterday after
noon 1t appeared that the structure
was doomed. The water had risen To

opening and floating logs were strik-
ing the floor section.
The roadway from Heath's Corner
to the bridge will be damaged i'm sew

desperate efforts to undermine the
concrete and repairs will be neces-
sary.

AMERICAN COTTON MEN
TO HELP THE FARMERS
est Figures Will BE Given the
Southern Producers.

Columbia. s. c., July 17.-The
American Cotton association expects
to see that the farmer is informed
as to how much cotton is likely to
be produced during the current sea-
son, and also what 1t costs to manu-
facture this cotton in staple cotton
fabrics and what these fabrics arc
bringing in the market. Obviously
the producer of the cotton should get
price for his cotton proportioned to
the price which the manufactures is
getting for the cotton goods, after
making due allowance for the cost of
manufacture.
ITO complete the chain of infor-
nation for the guidance of the cot
ton farmer in the marketing OF his
cotton. the American Cotton associa-
tion proposes to see that this in
formation as to cost OF manufacture
shall be made available for the farm
er. When the association keeps the
farmer informed as to amount OF Wis
ible cotton, condition of the growing
crop and the cost Of manufacture of
cotton fabrics and their price on the
market. the cotton market will be as
staple as are the markets for other
commodities. This reasonable condi-
tion OF stability the farmer has a
right to demand" says a statement
issued by the association.

Few machines were seen on the
streets until late in the afternoon

Street car traffic was interrupted
on several lines. The tracks leading
to Camp Jackson were undermined
in three places and no attempt was
made to run to the cantonment The
rushing waters carried tons of sand
in its onward plunge and deposited
the earth on the rails in numbers OF
low spots. Squads of men were kept
busy shoveling the dirt to make pas
