Giving review of the floods as it
appeared Wednesday. Mr. Wriston I)
Adams of the Charlotte Observer,
writes as follows:
Second ouly to the fiery energy
lately displayed in fighting the surg
ing Hoods of the Catawba, llroad.
Yadkin and French Broad Rivers, is
the more orderly, systematic and ef
fective labor now being applied in the
great task of reconstruction through
out the Piedmont country, consisting
of repair of damage wrought and
restoration of service in every line of
human endeavor with railway and in
term ban roads, cotton mills, tele
graph and telephone facilities, hydro
electric power operations and the
varied other instrumentalities that
go to make up the modern complex
life.
The stringing of the Catawba at a
half dozen places Tuesday uight and
Wednesday morning by the various
telegraph and teU phone companies
thereby providing direct communica
tions north and south, was the be
ginning of the work of restration.
thereby enabling co-ordinated direc
tion of reconstruction operations.
From this time on, there will be
such a rush and crash of bustle in
cident to repair work that the hu
man element will project upon the
scene a kaleidoscopic picture of con
struction equally as effecive although
not nearly so spectacular as that of
destruction which the descending
rains and onrushlng floods lately
z brought. It too will be an augury
of bigger and better things to come,
which happily is usually the record
of such visitations.
What Clearer View Reveals.
The clearer view of the situation
as it affect the cotton mills in the
flooded district disclose? the gratify
ing circumstance that the reports of
damage sustained are not so great as
first apprehended. Two mills were
completely demolished, as first stat
ed, at West M nn ho and Mountain Is
land, but the balance, such as those
partially submerged, were only slight
ly injured, when the extent of the In
vestment Is considered. With a good
many, the cards will have to be re-
clothed, and max he new bobbins put
in and other movable parts repaired
but that will constitute the bulk of
the damage.
As for the hydroelectric stations
owned and operated by the Southern
Power Company along the stream
they were only slightly hurt. Al
ready the big stations at Great Falls
Rocky Creek, Catawba. Lookout
Shoals and Ninety-Nine Islands are
being tilled out and turned over, pre
llminary to commercial service. It is
expected that within a week, full op
orations will be possible and adequate
service to supply all demands will be
available within a day or two.
With the Railroad.
The Southern and Seaboard roads
whose service south of Charlotte ha
been temporarily annulled on he
coun of the destruction of every riv
er crossing on the Catawba, hope to
be able to begin transferring passen
gers by barges Friday and certainly
not later than Saturday. The South
ers has big crews of men at work
on both sides of the river at Belmont
on the main line between Charlotte
and Atlanta and will be ready to ferry
passengers, mail and baggage, to
morrow. The same will be true with
the Interiirhan and Seaboard at
Mount Holly where a big ferry boat
Is being built. This will restore lo
cal service north and south and oast
and west although 10 days will elapse
before the Southern will get a tern
porary bridge adequate for train
handling at llelmont. All through
trains on the Southern yesterday
were operated via Lynchburg and
Bristol while the Seaboard yesterday
was going through Hamlet to Mc-
Beo, S. C, and on south via Charles
ton. The repair of damage done the
bridges and the general restoration
of service is so important that the
' highest officials of the various roads
are personally In charge or the work.
General Manager K. H Chapman,
Ceneral Superintendent W. N. Fore
acre, Chief Engineer of Maintenance
of Way J. S. Lemmond and Division
Superintendent H. L. Hungerford of
the Southern nre all actively on the
job and so also are the officials of
the Seaboard and Interurban. The
Interurban began operating cars
from Gastonla to Mount Holly yester
day and with the Inauguration of the
ferry service tomorrow, the Charlotte
-Gastonla service will be resumed.
No conferences have yet been hold
between the Mecklenburg and Gas
ton commissioners with a view to be
ginning the work of rebuilding the
highway bridges connecting these two
counties but they will follow In the
course of a few days. The same slt
ualWn exists with the other counties
along the Catawba. Within the next
week, there will bo numerous meet

A Urief Account of Origin of Cotton
Planter.
Perhaps a more comprehensive ac
count of the Huntly-Lutoh cotton
planter, as it relates to our county
and to one of it's former citizens,
will prove interesting lo some, at
least, of The Journal's readers. So
here is a brief obtained from Mr.
Hunily. the original inventor and
patentee of this famous machine. In
the year lS5!i, .Mr. lluntly of Lanes
Creek township made a cotton seed
planter with which he planted his
crop for that season. In August of
the same year letter patent was
granted to Mr. Huntley through the
well known firm of Munn & Co.,
patent solicitors. In 1S60 Mr. Hunt
ley made several planters by hand
in his own shop in Lanes Creek
township. These he sold at fl' each.
He also sold several county rights
for its manufacture and sale; these
rights were sold on credit. The war
came on and so demoralized business
that it was impossible to collect any
thing on the notes at the close.
About 1870 a Mr. Lytch of Laurln
burg secured a patent on an improve
ment of some of its parts and began
the manufacture of what i3 popularly
and universally known as the Lytch
Cotton Planter on an extensive scale.
Mr. Lytch, as the writer remembers,
sold these planters at that time at
J8 each, thereby realizing a' hand
some profit on his Improvement. while
Mr. Huntley lost money on his patent.
The fact is not generally known that
Union county enjoys the distinction
of having had as its former citizen
the originator and patentee of a ma
chine, in the cotton planter, that al
most revolutionized cotton planting
and to Mr. John W. Huntley, now of
Rock Hill, S. C. belongs this distinct
ive honor of being that particular in
dividual. The writer saw the first of
these patents in operation and his fa
ther forged on his anvil the Iron parts
of some of the first of Mr. Huntley's
make. O. P. Timist.
