Charlotte, July 16.—What is said to be the worst flood eyer known in Catawba and Broad river today had done damage that will run in to the hundreds of thousands of dollars in the territory within a a radius of fifty miles north and west of Charlotte. Ten 00 twelve brldjfe workers under Joe Killiam, division en^i> gineer of the Southern, went down with the Southern’s main line brid ge at Belmont, out of Charlotte, late today. Five or six were re ported caught in tops of trees and rescued. Just above the Southern’s bridge the Piedmont and Northern Inter- urban bridge and the Seaboard Air Line bridge were washed away. Farther up the riyer near Moores- ville and Statesville two highway bridges went out, while at Catawba the Southern bridge on the Salis- bury-Asheville division was wash ed away. At Munbo, below Ca tawba, the west Munbo Cotton Mill of 5000 spindles is under water and the East Munbo Mill is almost un der water, while a cotton ware house with four hundred bales has been washed away. Damage to mills is laid to a water spout in Alexander county that caused the earth embankment of the Lookout Shoals power plant of the Souttiern Power Corapany to give way today, adding fifteen feet of water to the allready more than twenty foot tide in the Catawba. That volume of water also caused the last two or three bridges to go. The Dravo Power Company dam on Broad river near Shelby went out late today, menacing W^e South ern Power Company plant near Blacksburg, S. C.
