Tom Keith, a passenger IN the
Pennington Flying Service plane
piloted by Burke Render, former
ly lived in the Kelly section and
was there during the 1908 flood.
Mr.. Keith said, in his opinion,
the waters are much higher now
than in the 1908 disaster. He point.
ed out several houses he was ia.
miliar with and they were partly
covered.
Acres upon acres Of corn were
covered with only the tops Of the
stalks showing above the water.
Practically all the crops in the
Kelly section are destroyed.
Interesting to watch from the
air was two army amphibious
tanks scampering along the flood
ed highways and lodging in and
out of the yards of the many
houses. These tanks have saved
much of the belongings of the resi-.
dents and rescued hundreds OF
persons marooned in their homes.
Highway Damage Placed At
$2,0O0,0O0
RALEIGH, N. c., Sept. 26 -tRH
With flood waters steadily receding
in eastern North Carolina, experts
of the State Highway and Agricul-
ture Departments continued today
a study of damages which result
ed from this sections worst flood
in more than IS years.
"A tentative report compiled by
the State Highway Commission al
ready has placed ramage to sec
ondary road, highways and bridges
at from $1,50O,000 to 100000,
while agriculture department off
Gals say crop damage has been
severe"
Officials of the two departments
agree, however, that i. will be sew
eral weeks before official estimates
of damages can be made. Several
thousands Of acres of crop lands
in the lower areas bordering the
Cape Fear, Neuse, Tar and Roa'
noke rivers still are inundated.
An official weather-crop bulletin
today by the Agriculture Depart.
ment's Weather Station said the
bad crop effects of the recent trop'
ical storm are heavier in the
central Piedmont counties than in
the flooded eastern areas.
The reason is that the corn and
hay down on wet ground, resulting
from strong winds and rain, ag-
gregate a far greater percentage
of crop land than the flooded acre.
ages along the eastern river bot.
toms, where relatively little crop
land was covered.
In fact, cotton is grown on up
land in most cases, and tobacco
has already been harvested. The
most damage has resulted to corn
and hay. River farms suffered
heavily, however, but fortunately
these are relatively few in relation
to countrywide conditions h e
Weather Station report said.
Meanwhile, flood crests on the
Cape Fear, Neuse, Tar and Roa-
noke rivers had been reached at
Eizabethtown, Goldsbopo, Kinston,
Williamson, and other points in
the upper regions of eastern Caro-
lima. Only one state highway still
remained closed. This was U. S.
1T running south from Goldsboro
to Wilmington. Highway engineers
reported the road was from one
to 10 feet under water resulting
from the overflowing Neuse.t W o
miles south of Goldsboro. The route
probably will be reopened tomor-
row, however, and all other state
highways were in normal oper-
alton.
