LAST WEEK’SGREAT FLOOD
The Story of Its Vastness And Furi
ous Violence.
The great flood of last week will long remain, it Is hoped, the great
est in the history of the localities affected. During the vast rainfall
on Monday and Tuesday of last week the storm of precipitation ap
pears to have gathered ita moot furious forces above the water-shed
centering about Bakersvllle or Asheville where the headwaters of the
Tennessee and other streams on the west and of the Catawba on the
east find their beginnings. Here the clouds hurst and poured out
their watery volatile* in an unprecedented deluge on the highlands,
covering also with diminished but still very fearful fury the lower
water sheds and valleys of the watercourses named. But other streams,
both in this State and Virginia, were greatly swollen and wrought
much destruction to crops and property.
The following dispatches taken msinly from the Charlotte Obaerver,
which we print as a matter of history and record, will give our readers
some idea of the vastneu and violence of the great flood of May, 1901.
