FLOOD AT PATERSON Is Worse Than the Fire More People Are Homeless and Unemployed. New York, March 3. The great flood that inundated a large part of the mill section of Pater- son, N. J., has subsided some what, and it is beUeved the worst is over, The damage was very groat. It is estimated that the loss wrought by the flocd is as large as that by the fire, while it is stated that there is little or no in surance to cover it. Many more families have been rendered home less by the flood than were made so by the fire, and the relief com mittee, whose labors were becom ing lighter daily, is now bard at work seeking to relieve those who have lost everything by the high water. The flood was caused by the overflowing of the Passaic river. Between 11 o'clock last night andl 4 o clock this morning tne water l in the streets of Paterson fell five and a quarter inches, and there has been a still further decline since that hour. Unless there should ba another heavy down pour of rain, it is thought that no further damage will be done. Along the water front, on both sides of the river almost every thing is wrecked, fonndationa and roadbeds having been eaten away and about everything in sight more or less damaged. In the flood district of Pater son are dozens of silk nulls that must remain idld for the present, and some of them for a consider able time to came. The suffer ing must nacessarily ba great among the hundreds of persons employed in these establishments, many of whom have large famil ies depending upon them for sup port. Tnere is no doubt that every effoct will be made to start the mills as soon as it is possible to do so, but if the buildiDgs are ound to b3 undermined or the plants badly damaged much time mast elapse before work can be a. resumed.

PRESIDENT WILL GO. Washington, March 3. The President will go to Charleston to attend the exposition, Tillman or no Tillman. Tbis assurance he gave to a committee of citi zens from South Carolina today when they called upon him at the White House to urge him not to abandon his idea of visiting their fair and their city. Incidently the committee told the President that the letter of Lieut. Govern- or Tillman regarding the sword presentation was simply the view of an individual and did not rep- resent the sentiment of the peo- pie. So far no Senator seems to have thought of tryiDg to find out what the Filipinos think of Governor Taft. At last Austria has discovered that she, too, was friendly to the United States in 1898. This makes it unanimous. The Memphis Commercial Appeal has about come to the conclusion that these White House dinners are hoodooed. The Botha surrender bobs up just m time to fill the hole in the public rjrints made bv the Stone release rumor, Joseph Jefferson celebrated his 73d birthday the other day. And he still seems good for a few more farewell tours. Administrators Notice. Harlng qualified as the administrator of Ida A.

FOR RENT Two connecting rooms on first floor with bath. Atrolv to Mrs. E. M. Hicks, 304 George St. North. WALTER LETTER. I ChroDicHng of a Week's Events m That Thriving ISeigh borhood. Mr. Albert Smith has returned heme from Smithfield, where be has been for several months. Mr. A. J. Woodard, from your city, spent part of last week at Mr. J. C. Howell's on a visit to his children. Mr. A. R. Edgerton and fame ily will move to your city, where Mr. Edgerton has a position as mail carrier. A social gathering of young people at Mr. W. H. Lane's last Saturday night was an occasion of much pleasure and enjoyment. Mr. Dave Edgerton and sister Miss Henrietta, and Miss Annie Crow spent Saturday night and Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lane. The severe wind, rain and thunderstorm last Friday morn ing, surpassed anything oz us kind in tbis community in some time. There was no serious dam age, only tne ground was liter ally flooded, and ditches over flowing. Mr. Will Hines and Miss Gere trude Thompson and Mr. Frank Yelverton and Miss Stella Holt spent Saturday night and Sun day at Greenleaf. The river was so high the young ladies had to return home on the tram, and when last heard from, they were singing, "The boys we left be hind us." Farm operations are at a com plete stand still, and haye been for some time, but we heerd one of our best farmers say he was not at all -discouraged, that he knew he would come out all right yet. This is the best view to take of it, of course, but there are many of us disposed to be gloomy and despondent. If this. weather continues, we have proposed to Toby to launch a new enterprise, Jthatof raising frogs for market. The seasons have been most fayorable, and if we had a pond now with several hundred head of bull frogs, to say nothing of the yearlings and calves, we could realize enough for their posterior extremities to carry us through to blacks berry season. Sometime ago our better half lost a small diamond out of its setting in a ring while she was preparing some cold slaw for dinner, and did not discover it was gone 'tiil dinner was over. As we are very fond of the dish it has iust dawned upon us that probably we got the diamond, which accounts for our being so very brilliant (?). We can account for it no other way, and it proves that "full many a gem is born to blush unseen." Killickinick. "Oak Glenn", Walter, N. C, March 5, 1902. e m This Will Interest Many.

Webster Davis declares that he stands on tbe last Democratic Na tional platform. But then Web was always such a man for flocking to himself. Maybe the delay in securing a successor for Secretary Long is the difficulty met with in finding a man who thinks Schley is a thief and a coward. The worst thing yet said about South Carolina is that if Tillman should retire or be expelled from the Senate he would be immediately re-elected. The British war office explains that the announcement that peace terms have been agreed upon with the Boers is "premature." That is a polite name for it. In order to give the copyright performance of "Notre Dame" in time for its production in this coun try a few days ago, Charles Froh man appeared in the play in Lon don the day before in the part of the "Jeading juvenile." Surely this presentation would have been worth the price of admission had there been any, but as a matter of fact the affair was little more than a rehear sal simply undertaken to comply with the English law.
