GIFT OF $50, 000 Mr. G. V. Branch, of the office, of markets, of the U. S. depratment of agriculture, spent .Wednesday after noon in the city, conferring with Col. J. L. Ludlow, president of the Board of Trade, about the market situation in Winston-Salem. For several months the Board of Trade has been co-operating in the effort being made to increase the sup ply ot farm products for Winston Salem. Considerable progress ' ha. been made in persuading the farmers of this section to set aside a portion of their farms for trucking, and the farm garden has been given a big boost. With the slow, but steady advance in this work the matter of a central produce market has forcibly present ed itself. On account of the narrow streets of the city it has become ne cessary to shift the truckers from on street to another to relieve traffic congestion, and the effect of frequent changes Is to chill the interest in truck growing. ' To aid in the solution of the prob lem Col. Ludlow asked the V. S. de partment of agriculture to send a rep resentative to Winston-Salem to look over the situation. While Mr. Branch - would not make a recommendation as to the entire plan to be outlined to promote the in terests of the truckers and city, he suggested that the fitting up of a pro per place for a market center, one that would be attractive to the house wives of the community; would en courage the trucking business in tht county and adjoining counties, and greatly aid in providing for the future growth of the city. It Is a fact that Winston-Salem sends away each year thousands Of dollars for vegetables and fruits that should be produced in Forsyth county and the money kept at home.' , r--;i.)-. Mr. Branoh went over a large part of the cityi and Inspected the city meat and fish market, and also studied the market facilities and conditions gen erally.. .' . - ' . ; He will probably submit a report ot conclusion based upon his observa tions to President Ludlow within the next week or ten days. Mr. Branch left this morning for Charlotte, and will also visit Raleigh and Wilmington, and points in 1 South Carolina before returning to Wash ington. He has recently made slmT lar studies and recommendations for Norfolk, Roanoke, Danville and other points In Virginia. At Roanoke the board of trade has launched a move ment which Is expected to result in the establishment of a market con structed along the lines of the larger titles of the East and middle West MAYODAN WOMAN'S CLUB '.

'KCP fl : : PTOts JlF mm RAINFALL INTO '.iriiiTH r-' PilING IIWaMli- OVER HALF YEARLY III ILL PARALYSIS NORMA In this section of North Carolina visited by the heavy rains in July, the rainfall for that month was con siderably over half the normal rain fall fdr whole year, according to re ports from co-operative and ' special weather observers to Section Director Lee A. Denson of tbe United 8tates weather bureau at Raleigh. The heav iest rainfall for' July was at Gorge, in Caldwell county, where there was a fall of 87.40 inches ,end there were several other , places where the tall was nearly as great. The normalyrainfair. for Caldwell county in July is about five inches. The rainfall for July ot this year was over seven times the normal. Gorge is in the water shed of the Catawba river. Other places in the water shed of the Catawba with a phenomenally heavy! rainfall for July as a result largely of the two storms which swept tbe sections, were Alta Pass, with a fall of 35.40, and Globe, with a fall ot 34.87. Hook House; In Macon county, bad a rainfall of 36.44 and Highlands, in the same county, bad a fall of 35.49 Inches. These two places are in the water shed of the Savannah river. The rainfall ot July In Wilkes coun ty was not so great as in tbe coun ties already mentioned. Brewer's had a fall of 21.15 inches and North Wilkesboro 19.74 inches, Transou, in Ashe county, Just across the moun tain from Wilkes county, had a fall of 32.64. Wilkes is in the water shed of the Yadkin; Ashe is in that of the Ohio. ' 1 There also was a very heavy fall in the water shed 1 of the French Broad, as follows: 27.06 at Brevard, 36.25 at 'Blantyre and 22.09 at Hen derson ville. It was the water from the upper French Broad that caused the principal damage in this section, the fall at Asherille being only 9, at Marshall 7 and Hot Springs 5. The previous greatest rainfall for a single month in North Carolina was at Rock House," in Macon county, in 'August, 1901, when the precipita tion amounted to 26.43. But Rock House does not afford a fair compar ison, as because of its peculiar loca tion it gets more rain than any other point in the eastern part of the Uni ted States, its annual fall being S3 Inches against a normal average for the year for the section of 55 or 60 inches. ' Alta Pass got the greatest fall for 24 hours, reports to Section Director Denson showed. From the evening of July 16 to the evening of July 16 the tall at this point was 19.32 inches, or nearly four times the normal for the whole month. The record 24 hours rainfall for the United States is 21.40 inches at Alexandria, La. At Gorge 20 inches fell in 41 hours. .'. There were two storms that were responsible for the fearful damage that was visited on the mountain re gion. The first one was from July 6 to July 13,' and came from the Gulf, moving northeastward. Tbe second, from which tbe greatest rainfall re sulted, was in connection with the hurricane that moved np from the Bahamas, coming Inland over Char leston " and Savannah , and thenco northwestward into the eastern and southern slope and the crest of the Blue Ridge, while the heaviest rain fall accompanied the second storm, the first storm had Its part In the great damage which resulted, as its fall of rain so saturated the earth that practically none of the second fall was absorbed. I. S. ENGINEER IN COUNTY OF WltKES BAD CONDITIONS IN McDOWELL. The local committee Investigating conditions in McDowell county made this report: Thirty-eight bridges entirely de stroyed and the remaining one badly damaged. Fifty per cent "of all public and country roads destroyed by the high waters and land slides. Seventy-five percent of all tbe grain produced in this county Is grown along the streams, and 90 per cent of all the present crops along the streams was completely destroyed. Seventy-lire per cent of all lands along streams has been permanently damaged, and a large per cent com pletely destroyed. Total number families . destitute, 210; number relieved, 121; partially destitute, 600. The report was made to an engineer representing the War Department. CAUGHT UNDER CAR BUT E8CAPED INJURY The Salisbury Post tells of the ex perience of a ' former resident of Staterville: "Mr. W. P. Norman of Winston Salem, who is visiting at the home of Mr. Geo. Archie, had quite an exper ience while coming over in his car When some miles out from the Twin City the car ran Into a ditch and over turned, pinioning Mr. Norman, .who Is quite a fleshy man, underneath it. In some way he fell in a small bole and this prevented the car from crushing him. However, the car had to be prized up in-order that he could be extricated. He was uninjured, and af ter securing a good wheel from Win-ston-Salem proceeded on to Salis bury" The Patriot mentions a visit to Greensboro of Capt. A. C. Bryan, of Trap Till, in former tims a noted cit izen of Wilkes. Willie he has lost His sight, the Patriot says Capt. Bryan is in fine health and spirits. Mr. J. W. Martin (Joes There to Outline Work of Rebuild ing Roads. North Wilkesboro, Aug. 17. James W. Martin, assistant engineer ot the United States , War Department, who now bears the sub-title of Superln tendent of the United States Flood Relief Work, arrived in North Wilkesboro yesterday to push further the work started on his ' visit last week. The principal part of the gor eminent fund will be used to pay the men ot the flood stricken district for building back roads that were washed away. - For instance If a farmer is unable to get in and out of his farm with a team the government will fur nlsh the money to build the road to his door and let him do the work himself. Those in the flooded sec tions will be furnished work repair ing roads and paid a fairly good wage by the government Mr. Martin left North Wilkesboro last Tuesday for Marlon to start the work going In that section and re mained there until Monday ot this week when be came to Statesvllle to confer with Lieut. Gotwals, of the War Department, who has charge ot the work In general. Mr. Martin went from Statesvllle to Winston Salem Monday evening where he re matned until he came to North Wilkesboro yesterday. Mr. Martin is no stranger to this section of North Carolina, having been assistant engin eer for Winston-Salem during tbe years 1907-1908. His knowledge of this section of the country was one of the reasons why be was selected to do the work assigned to him, Since leaving Winston-Salem be has been connected with tbe United States eovernment in the Navy and War lie- oartments. Before coming to West em North" Carolina a few weeks ago Mr. Martin was stationed at Charles ton. 8. C in the service of the War Department. His family: is at that point now, and as has work here will probably last until November 1, he may probably move them to some point in Western North Carolina, probably winston-saiem. Mr. Martin states that overseers are being appointed in the stricken sections to look after the work of re building the washed up roads. Squads of men will be used in building tern porary bridges where necessary. The work is purely of a relief nature and the county is expected to follow it up with nermanent worn. . Mr. Martin says the situation in McDowell, Burke, and other counties in that section, is similar to the North Wilkesboro soctlon, although not as much damage was done along the small streams emptying into the Ca tawba as along those emptying Into the Yadkin. At one place near Marion where a steel bridge spanned the Catawba river it how spans a dry channel, the river having com pletely changed its course. It is now being debated as to which will be tne cheapest, . change the course of the river or move the bridge... r North Wilkesboro Is recovering rapidly from the effects or the flood. Water and light were turned on a few days ago, making the work ot re storation easier. Wrecked buildings are being cleared away and arrange ments being made to build in their places. A salvage company, recent ly formed, has bought the lumber, etc., along the river and crews of men are at work piling it up in places accessible to the railroad. -The Messrs. Smoot are arranging to gath er up as much as possible of the four thousand cords of wood scattered along the river. Mr. Charles Smoot says that a barrel of oil belonging to his company has been located near Bennettsville, S. C, about four hun dred miles away. The barrel was nine miles from the natural course of the river, which indicates about how far the flood waters reached. It is said that the river at its highest stage was twelve miles wide at Bennettsville. HOPEWELL PLANT NOT TO CLOSE OCTOBER 1 Richmond, Va., Aug. 17.
