Sill Carolina Elections
Columbia, S. C, Aug. 26. Ow
ing to flood conditions, reports of
yesterday ' s democratic . primary
have been delayed. On the face
of present returns it appears that
Governor Ansel has been nomi
nated for re-election over C. L.
Blease by no less than 15,000
votes.
For the United States senator
the race was very close between
E. D. Smith, J. E. Evans and R.
G. Rhett. It seems likely that
Smith and Evans will have to go
before a second primary. In the
contested congressional districts,
Aiken, Patterson and Finley ap
pear to have won. Ellerbee and
rjodges will have a second pri
mary to settle their contest.
Bad News, This.
Washington, Aug. 25. John
R. Early, a leper, is held prisoner
in a tent at an isolated spot in
the outskirts of this city.
Early arrived, in Washington
ten dajrs ago and was discovered
to be suffering from the disease
while living at a Sal vationl Army
adging house on Friday. The
department officers have written
to the authorities of North Caro
lina, to obtain permission to re
move the leper to Lynn, N'. C,
his home. The public health and
marine hospital service are co-operating
with the local authorities.
If the North Carolina authori
ties refuse to take care of Early
he probably will be sent to the
leper colony in Louisiana.
Local Ball Team Victorious.
The Hendersonville base ball
team is doing some fine work on
their base ball tour.
J. Mack Rhodes received the
following telegram yesterdry:
"Shut out Canton three to noth
ing. Here tomorrow; Waynes
ville Saturday." (signed) "A. P.
Gallamore". The boys did not
reach Canton in time to have a
a game of ball Wed. They played
their first game yesterday with
Canton and will have another
game there today. It means a
great thing for the local team,
for Canton has often defeated
Waynesville, therefore, with this
end in view and the victory of
three to nothing to back them up
they have great hopes of winning
victory in Waynesville, where
they will play tomorrow.
The local boys that didn't par
ticipate in the trip feel greatly
elated over their fellow mates.
Sunshine Hawks.
Sunshine Hawks paid this office
another visit this morning. He
took his first drive this morning
and in regard to it he said: "I
went to Mt. Hebron, and I tell
you it is the finest country I ever
saw, and moreover it makes a
Presbyterian deacon feel fine
after stealine- lots of fruit ud
there". He went on ;to say "this
is one of the best towns I ever
saw, the people are so nice, and
the hotels are fine. I like this
town and surroundings much bet
ter than I do Asheville."
Ednev-Jones.
Miss Bessie Edney, of Flat
Rock, and Mr. Hood Jones, of
Upward were married at the
groom's home Wednesday after
noon, magistrate U. S. Young, of
Upward, officiating.
A large number of friends of
the contracting parties witnessed
the marriage, after which re
freshments of great abundance
were served.
A Little Train Wreck.
Train No. 13, westbound, was
partially nearly as it left Tryon
station, Saturday night, one car
leaving the track and partially
overhanging the steep embank-
ment. ine t passengers were
somewhat shaken up, but no one
was seriously injured. The line
was blocked until nearly mid
night. An split switch was the
cause. A wrecking crew from
Saluda and an engine f rom In-
man were necessary before the
wrecked car could be dragged
off the track.
The passengers piled out and
lined up alongside the damaged
coach, asking Capt. Chase, the
conductor, who had troubles all
his own, about every imaginable
fool thine: possible. There was
some excitement and every one
wanted to tell some one else
all about his experience. One
traveling man said he hadn't
missed being in a wreck during;
the month of August for the
past five years. August must be
his unlucky month. Jim Wal
drop wasn't excited tho'. He
was on the Pullman just coming
back from the Rep. convention.
Neither was Prof. Posey, who
had spent the day at Columbus.'
But some especially the ladies-
were, and they just had to have
some explanation, right then,
why the Southern permitted such
things to happen.
Then the crew from Saluda ar
rives their smoking flares cast
ing an unreal light over the sur
roundings, making familiar ob
jects strange, gigantic, monstrous
With jacks and heavy timbers,
with an audience of women in
summer finery, impatient men
and curious children, the grimy
crew endeavors to raise the
coach. At last the engine from
Inman comes, one of the biggest
on the division. .A heavy chain
is attached to the trucks of the
car, and to the locomotive- The
iron monster pulls gently at
first. Then, a hoarse word of
command to the lined up
passengers who stand in possible
danger from the chain snapping,
which causes them to fall tumb
ling back. A red lantern swings
thro' the air, the great engine
exerts itself, and to the sound of
splintering wood, of hissing steam
the car is dragged off the track
and the road is clear, while soma
sweet boys from the rear Pull
man stand in the glare Af the
giant's eye and sing alleged col
lege songs.
Soon the train is made up
1 a-l "I. J
again, leaving me wrecneu
coach behind, and Hendersonville
is reached early Sunday morn
ingabout seven hours late.
An electric street railroad from
the depot to Laurel Park, to Co
lumbia Park, to Osceola Lake, is
a proposition now being seriously
considered by local capitalists.
It is said $30,000 would be am
ple capital to build the line.
The benefits not only to the
streets directly traversed by the
proposed road, but to the whole
city, would be direct and of the
greatest value.
The line would afford quick and
direct communication from the
depot to all the hotels, 'to the
prettiest natural park in the
South, to the new lake, where a
new town will practically be built,
and will be the biggest kind of
an inducement for people to come
to Hendersonville. ,
Tho matter is now receiving
the serious consideration of some
of the most conservative capital
ists here, and there is no doubt
that it will become a reality.

: Much Property Damage. ,.
I-. Augusta, Ga., Aug. 29. iThe. reign
of mud began Friday morning at day
iight lii tb,streets, ,and houses of Au
gusta, wner for forty-six hours the
- urbuieut Savannah had enslaved the
ciiy in us grasp.
At 6 o'clock Friday morning the city
was free of water, except in the low
lands . ' Standing in lower Broad street
at that hour no water was in sight
m any direction, but in its stead mud
was everywhere from an inch to many
inches deep.-
Streets Washed Out.
It will .be days before normal condi-f
dlons are restored. Streets nave been
9
washed almost away, sidewalks have
in many instances completely disap
peared, leaving only ragged holes and
ditches to mark the place where the
pavement was. The upper half bf the
nouses and stores are white and clean
the first story yellow and covered with
mud. Tha hand of the flood has been
plainly -marked by Its trail throughout
the city.
VvTith the dawn of Friday came the
second . chapter of the greatest flood
'in the history of the city, and as the
waters disappeared, hope and energy
ana renei came 10 tne rescue or tne
rong-hearted people who had sat in
Alienee and at tha mercy of raging
torrents the day before.
Canal Locks Intact.
A pleasant announcement is thai
the canal locks are intact, and only
one DreaK in the canal, bank whicn
can be easily repaired with a lower
stage of water.
It is known that six persons were
drowned Thursday in Augusta.

and their bodies were carried Into the
canal.
E. C. Omara Is reported to have
been drowned during the flood at Mq
Klnney street. '
Many Repdrted Dead.
Two negroes are believed to have
been drowned Thursday, when, the citv
w i j i
unuge was swept away, many claim
ing to be eye-witnesses.
It is reported that a white man
leaped from the second Mory of the
Metropole going Into the open cellar
and drowning In the deei water there.
Fires Follow Flood,
T
Since Wednesday noon the time the
waters reached Broad street .and the
bijf flood was actually on, there "have
been five great fires in the city in ad
dition to a number of smaller fires.
The fire department was compelled
to join the spectators during the prog
ress of the conflagrations, as the en
gines and wagons were covered by
water and there was no human agen
cy available in fighting flames. In
nearly all instances, the fires burned
to the water's edge.
Epitome of Damage.
Many human " lives reported lost
fourteen verified.
Total actual physical damage, one
million dollars.

Great Suffering. '
Interest In August centers in the
dead and the relief measures to be
taken for the poor. The greatest suf
fering is along a deep, gully known as
Eridwell's Bottom and Perry's bottom.
Here in instances the houses were sub
merged to the eaves, and the people
have lost their all-. The damage is
estimated at from one and a half to
two millions by the mayor and lead
