I'll tell a true story, although. It is very sad, About the great floods of North Carolina And the terrible horrors we had. It all started one dark night Following a week of rain, It caused great disasters With much sorrow, grief and pain, All on one night in August, I don't recall the date. The floods swept through the coun try At a most terrific rate. V- On that night of destruction The rain was pouring clown. The people had to leave their homes And seek for higher ground. , But the greatest horrors of Hay wood county. Was above old Sunburst town, There was a great destruction And a couple of people drowned. ' , .-. . ' the flood swept down Big Creek valley Between midnight and day, It was taking everything That stood within its way. . , . : i As the waters came rushing down The flood was still swelling, There lived the Reverend Hampton And his wife in a little log dwelling. The flood came on and struck the ' .' house; ' And it was torn and tossed, , The preacher and his wife; was . drowned ' Y And all their property lost. . As the flood roared down the moun- ..; .tain-' . ; ' The people began to pray, Says, "Now, Lord help us, We will all be washed away." It raced on down at lightning speed It did not check nor sway, It carried off cars and garages And swept a grist mill away. Then When the terrible shock was over And the waters all run down, A searching party gathered Says "The Hamptons must be found." I They searched on down the creek Until the water was calm, they Found Mrs. Hampton below the dam. They continued the search for the preacher Consuming both night and day, "We will hunt till we find him," Some one in the party did say. They kept on looking along the creek run -Till six days had passed, Then in a pile of drift wood they Found his body at last. U. S. Makes $98.88 Profit On Every $100 Paid On Income Taxes WASHINGTON The Treasury calculated it will make about 198.88 "profit" on every $100 income tax paid by some 15,000,000 Americans currently struggling over their returns. . In other words, the statisticians found the Treasury was spending $1.12 for every $100 in income tax it collected. The overhead goes into such items as printing up more that 50,000,000 blanks, hiring collectors and bookkeepers, catching swind lers, correcting honest taxpayers' mistakes, and doing research.
