YADKIN RIVER TEN
FEET ABOVE AVERAGE
From Daily Aug. 29. '
At 1:30 this afternoon tne YadKiu
river at the Fries power bouse, near
Clemmons. was ten feet above com
mon water. It was still rising slowly.
Tue Fries power plant on the r:v?r
was forced to shut down at 8 o'clock
this morning on account of high water.
The superintendent of the plant re
ports (.hat he saw part of a railroad
trestle, machinery . from a flouring
mill,, bolting machines, barrels, kegs
and a quantity of timber going lown
the river. The trestle is supposed to
have been the one washed out on the
Wilkesboro road last night.
The Impression prevails that a
cloudburst was responsible for the
rapid rise in the river. At 8 o'clock
this morning it was up only five feet
ind by noon it had risen five more
feet.
The ferries on the river are not be

Sheriff Johnson stated that two
other Important cases were tried dur

Cralge, who was arrested ln Greens
boro a few months ago, was convicted
of seduction. The Judge first gave
him term on the roads, but later
changed the sentence to $100 fine and
costs, provided the same was paid
within ten days. Last Saturday
Craige's wife came up with the cash
thereby securing the release of ber

Hort privette, a white man, waa
sentenced to the roads of Iredell conn
ty for six months. He was convicted
of selling diseased meat. According
to the evidence Introduced against the
defendant, Privette loBt a cow. He

neighbor that he had decided to take
the meat to Wilkesboro and sell It out

went to Roaring River and sold
quarter to Thomas Church, who was
advised, before he ate any of It, that
the meat was bad. A warrant was
then issued for Privette, but he left
the county before the papers were
served. At the spring tero of Wilkes
court Sheriff Johnson had th ludiet-
ment nol proBBed with leave. Prlvwtte
was notified by a relative or friend of
the solicitor's action and he returned
