The streets and side-walks of many of the most pro mint streets were inundate from knee to waist deep. Goods were damaged, stores were flooded and to add to the hor ors fire spread from the lime in some of tho stores and men fought fire and flood waist deep in water. The damage to property was estimated on Wednesday to be about $50,000. To the lumber" interest tho. damage has been particularly destructive, estimated at $10,000 to that indus try alone.

Winston, after a trip through the leading manufac turing and agricultural .'portions of the United Statesand Ca'nfda.prelim inary to entrance upon his duties at the North Carolina College of Agri cultural and MechanicArts, has come to the conclusion that within fifty years half of the population of North Carolina, which, twenty years ago was employed in producing food, will doubtless be engaged in other labor. He argues that the soil of North Car olina will not permit , its people to compete with States in the Mississip pi valley in production of such crops as must find sale in the world's mark et; that-North Carolina has the material in he shape of forest, mines and fisheries, which together with .a healthy and temperate climate, abun dant water-power and intellectual and and physical vigor, mark the State as intended to be a manu facturer. Teias, he thinks, will soon drive the' State out ot cotton culture, but at the game time the tate will become a greater manufacturer of cot ton, than ever. The textile industry, with other industry,, will widen the home markets f or poultry sheep.hogs bees and fruitso that cotten tobacco, wheat and torn will yield to these diversified crops, the" older staples be ing raised only .in-quantities sufficient for home consumption. He points out that at the base of all prosperity, agricultural, industrial or commer cial, is intelllisence, and that true education is the proper cultivator of intelligence. He adds:" "There is a 'great.missron for our Agricultural and Mechanical College. The dav will come when North . Car olina, from the mountains to the sea-elipe,- will be one endless .chain of blossoming farms, orchards and gar dens, set like gems with busy cities and towns j . when -the loom and the spindle, and. the forge and the anvil, and the reaper and binder will sing togethesthe sweep song of wealth and prosperity:' when the thoughts of eve rv mind. and". the cunning of every hand, and the longing of every soul shall be cultivated in-thoroughly-equipped "schools, supported, esteem and cherished by the State. In this great work the,"A. nd M. College will-do its-part. ;It will 4iope" to com bine -ultimately within -.itself the equipment -aud . tha . draining - of .a great agricultural college lLkethat in Guelph, jCaMIa, of . a' great textile school lie-that in rhiladelphia, of a great mechanical college like the Institute of -Technology, and of a great . expt-riinent station like" the New York Experiment Farm at" Gen ii eya. -. ..." This:is a,',large program for the college. President AViriston, however, has dembiistratej( .in . ofher field his ability to carry to a successful end the projects which he undertakes. He has behind him. in- his; new h eld a body of -practical, progressive North Carolinians," working, constantly .to cultivate a public opinion which will heartily support the institution. The greatness of" North Carolina has only becan to appear.' It will be attained as the graduates of the college enter upon their life-work inspired with the spirit of such 'a man as President Winstoh.Southern 'Farm Maga-, SWAKP-RC0T.

The canal company would not at present guarantee a nafe 'passage be tween Norfolk and Elizabeth City for boats drawing more than seven and a half feet of water, as the Fasquotank has one shoal place, and Deep Creek at low water has not more than seven and a half feet at the present time.
