Industries, Roads, Farms, SuF fer from Effects of Swollen Streams I COMMUNICATION CUT OFF FOR TWO DAYS Rosman and Pi#gah I-orest Gel | Brunt of Raging Floods ? Business Going On Trails ylvtvnin county is rapidly )'<?? I covering from the effects of the floods of last week, when streams of the county left their brinks, flooded the highways, covered acres of bot tom farm lands, washed bridges and trestles on logfting roads away, and had the county isolated for two days; Wednesday of last week was the be ginning of the flood conditions, when the French Broad river flood ed the streets of Bosnian, and by Thursday morning the hijrh waters had reached a point but little under that which prevailed in the 1916 flood. Much damage was, done to the crops in the county along the 1-ench Broad valley. The industries at Bosnian and the lumber roads into the mountain!? suf fered much damage, mostly, it is said, .from the loss of trestles along the logging railroads. Work on im pairing and replacing such struct ures is being rushed with all possible speed, and it is hoped to have re sumed full operations in all the var ious companies affected at an early date. Efforts are being made to ascer tain damages done to farming, the industries and the highways, so au thentic information can be given the public. All highways were opened by Sun day, however, and business through out the county has been resumed, only in the industries are men idle while repairs are being made, it is hoped to have everything going at full speed within a few days. C-ountv commissioners in session Wednesday set aside $10,000 for th? purpose of replacing bridges that were washed away during the floods last week, and to repair roads that wore made impassable. Judging from amounts being spent ih. other -eounr ties, Transylvania emerged from the floods with minimum damage to highways and bridges., as other counties are spending ni"cl? than the sum set aside m Transyt V8nia- . .Vo It is expected all repairs to the damaged bridges in the county will soon b<? made. - . . The State Highway commission es timates the damage to the highway, in Western North Carolina amounts to more than $300,000. CARR LUMBER CO. MAKING REPAIRS washed away during the flood last week causing great loss to the com pany' and necessitating a suspension of operations until the trestles, are replaced and other damages repaired. W W Croushorn, manager of the big concern, . stated the in.p.ss, hiiity of estimating the damage done until a thorough investigation of du ? lines far back in the moun tains can be made. Large forces of men are at work, rebuilding the trestles and making repairs to the railroads. ; Comparatively little damage was caused about the lumber plant at Pisgah Forest, it is stated. The Carr Lumber company em ulovs a large force" of workmen and suspension of operations entalK a cr-at loss to the community. It is said at least two more weeks will be required to make all repairs to the damages done. CANNOT FURNISH POWER FOR PLANTS Manager H. E. Erwin, of the Sapphire Cotton Mills, stated Wed nesday that industrial' plants and I other -places of business where elec itric motors were used, must cease running their machinery at night. The cotton mill is supplying the town -with current for lighting purposes, j Mr. Erwin stated, and not for in dustrial purposes. I Mr. Erwin said if industrial plants 'are to run, that he would run his own mill. He has shut down his mill at nights, however, in order ti furnish power for lighting purposes for the city. Some places that use ele'ctric cur rent, it Is said, for their manufac turing or mechanical work. hav< been running at night. The load i: , too heavy for the cotton mill plant ; bonce switches are thrown and th. town goes into darkness. : Until the regular power conipan; resumes operation, Mr. Erwin insist | that no power be used for industria purposes before midnight. Aftei I that hour, when the most of peoph ib-tve rot red and turned f-ff thei [lights, then there is power available jfor other purposes. State Manager, Woodmen Circle, to Attend Convention Here Next Week. PRIVATE SCHOOL ESTABLISHED HERE I MRS. EFF1E ROGERS No. 34 WOODMEN CIRCLE MARCHING ON TOWN .Summer Term Here and Win ter Term In West Palm Beach i A new boarding school, unioue from the fact that it is to spend six months of each year in North Car olina and six months in Florida, is being organized by Prof. B. H. Gault of West Palm Beach, Fla. The school will be called Florolina, a name secured by the contraction of ? r' state names, Florida and iCarolina. The management an nounces that the school will accom modate bfiys from six to fifteen years of age :??(!.; will be in session' for twelve : ?aths each year. o- ?he<" w"UL'r "term of- the Eloroiina School, November to April, Will he hold in property belonging to the i Gault Private School in West Palm Beach and will open this fall for the first time. For the summer ' terra, j May to October, Prof. Gault has secured the use of Deer Park Home, (.the farm placc Of Mrs. W. H. Alli ison, near Brevard. This is one of .the most beautiful country places to |be found anywhere. It contains eight-, ,een rooms and is modern in every respect. The house is situated amid magnificent trees on a spacious lawn, adjacent to. the fertile farm lands in the valley of- the Davidson and French Broad rivers. Such a climatic arrangement as is ' offered by the Florolina School will i provide out-door activities for the students during the entire year.1 Swimming, tennis, baseball, horse- 1 back riding, etc., can be enjoyed practically every day of the twelve months. A pleasing contrast is also provided in the plan of the school to spend half the year in the city and half in the country. The Florida Session will be devoted strictly to academic work and sports, while the period spent in North Carolina will ibe given over largely to the activi ties of agriculture, scouting, catnp ,ing, nature study, manual training' and. other handiwork/September and October will, however, be devoted to jbooks, so that the full academic re quirements will be met each year, | . Prof. Gault has a college degree and has been engaged in school work ?n Illinois and Florida for sixteen j years. For the. past seven years he lhas operated his own private school. ,For five years he has been actively lengaged in the work of the Georgia [Military Academy's summer school land camp near Hendersonville. Prof. (Gault will be headmaster of the Fjorolina school. He will be ably assisted in his work by Mrs. Gault, who is a graduate of a musical con servatory and has had ten years' ex perience as a teacher. She possesses a beautiful soprano voice and is in much demand for church and artis tic programs wherever she goes. Mr. and Mrs. Gault will be aided in their work by other experienced teachers who are specialists in their respective lines. MR.
