this initial pressure which was en-
couraged by relatively easy Liverpool

Inhabitants of the district below the

dam might give way.
Hurricanes and high waters were
accountable for most of the deaths
though the three states. Several
persons were killed by coming In
contact with live wires.
Today the situation began to ease
somewhat. Asheville, N. c., without
train service for IS hours, was in
touch with outside communication.
Rail taffic into the city had been
suspended-with the exception of a
few trains from the north-for two
days.
Rivers in south Georgia were be-
lieved abating slightly and this led
to the belief that the worst of the
high water conditions had passed.
Conditions continued serious in
Virginia with rivers reported out at
Lynchburg, Danville, Roanoke and
Bristol. No serious conditions were
reported in any of the cities, how
ever. The Pamunkey river was re-
ported overlooking its banks.
The greatest damage apparently
has been in the Asheville district
where it was said the flood losses
might amount to 100000.
