THE AUGUSTA HERALD
A View of Augusta's Recent Flood
Published in a Northern Paper
The following article is a reprint from
the Balntree <Mass > Observer and Re
porter. It Is by Mrs. A. R. Gillette who
I** a resident of Augusta and wrote the
account of the freahet to her former
home. It is an interesting account of a
momentous event:
Wednesday, AUg. 26, 1908.
Hear Mr. Editor:
'Phis is a memorable day with us. In
this fair Southern elty. and at thin time,
two oclofk p. m.. this grandma with
her brood of five grand-children has tak
en refuge Jn the upfW *tory to escape
the raging water below stAlrs. Alasl
after tugging everything that our
strength proved equal to, we had to !
leave piano, roll-top dexk, bookcase,
writing desk, sideboard, gas stove and
rung*- to their sad fate. The “calico
cat," and the white wyandotte hen tpet
and beauty that -he |s> are sharing our
fortune*, whatever they may be.
At the present hour, four o’clock P.
M . there is a torrent of muddy water
sweeping through the lower rooms, tak
ing wall paper and pl4*iering as It goes,
creeping bito cupboard and closets,
climbing up the staircase, step by step,
as l hough rying to reach us. in our safe
retreat. Outside, the fan**y iron fenee
and hitching post have long since dis
appeared from view, and only a six-foot
er citn keep his head above water.
Ten o’clock P. M., with a depth of
six feet and still rising sioVlv, my
greatest apprehension is. lest the house
foundations cannot withstand the eon
f-tant buffeting and may give way. Even
Into this fear comes the sweet refrain, [
“His eye l - on the sparrow and I know t
he watches me.’’ Without. there is
darkness profound, within, we have food
and drink, light and comfort.
The “calico cat" purrs contentedly be
fore the oil heater whereon the tea ket
tle sings, for there must he a cig> of
hot stuff to cheer the father as he comes
from tin toil of this weary day. Just
hers he comes, drenched to the skin,
but safe at home, "the dearest spot on
earth." In order to avail himself of the
only conveyance possible, (a boat) he
had to pay the boatman $2.50 for one
and one half miles travel.
Thursday morning. 27th. The angry
Havannph still rages and roars but inch
by Inch is slowly receding, bringing to
.ill, new courage and hope, with the
surety that, the promise centuries
ago, still holds: “The waters shall no
more rover the fare of the earth.” “Seed
time and harvest shall not fall.”
Bonts ply back and forth carrying
strange cargoes; In one, I noticed two
brown hens, apparently quite satisfied
with this new mode of travel, In spite
of all the watery surroundings. Some
are loaded with all worts of household
goods. Others with men, women and
children nil seeking dry land and home.
AM through the night we heard cries
for help”—a boat! a boat! oh-h-h boat
man come to our help,” distressing as It
was, we could not distinguish anything
through the murky darkness. With the
morning light, two men were found hi
the tree tops a short distance away.
They had spent the entire night clinging
to the branches, for dear life.
Friday morning, 28th. The white hen
has contributed an egg to our larder, and
the water more covers our city
streets, instead, there is a two inch coat
ing of red-brown slimy mud covering
everything in the path of the flood. The
whole city is without water, gas, electric
lights. Trees uprooted, dangerous cre
vasses on all sides, making travel by
night extremely perilous, yet the sun still
shines.
Even in this deploraole state of things
there are compensations, as in every
condition.
So true the old saying that “It is an
111 wind that blows no good.” It Is equal
ly true that it is an ill freshet that
brings no good. to us came a whole :
family Mr. Gander, with his four wives, |
making for any fort in a storm, paddled
over the fences and landed In the wash
house. As yet their owner makes no
sign, and we are caring Tor the waifs,
waiting any later developments.
My appropriation Is an old arm chair
of ample proportions, somewhat batter
ed, and minus one leg, it came In on
the turbulent tide, stuck fast in a bit
of the garden fence left standing, and
defWl all the force of wind and water
to tear it away, now I have It safe in my
pleasant upper room, a souvenir of the
greatest, most disastrous freshet in the
history of Augusta, Georgia.
A CARD.
Citizens In the neighborhood of the
Perkins lot on Kollock street signed
a petition a few days ago, condemn
ing tho action of the Riverside Mill
for making a dumping place of their
oid wet waste and cotton and dirty
sweepings from other mills on that
lot. Their claim was that the stench
from the Rtuff was so offensive that
they have to keep in doors day and
night.
A case was made against the River
sido Mill in the recorder's court, tried
and dismissed, after about twelve
witnesses residing in that vicinity
testified that the stench was almost
unbearable. The honorable mayor,
also the president of the board of
health, testified that they had invest! j
gated the charges and found that the I
smell was very unpleasant, but not!
unsanitary in its present condition. |
This was not a fight against the Riv- j
erside Mill, but the people in that |
neighborhood felt iike they should,
tak* some step to protect their health j
as well as their homes from danger j
of fire. But we will hav e to he con-!
tented with the lemon until Its pres- j
ent condition changes. It was proven
by witnesses on both sides that it 1
was a nuisance, hut dismissed on the

fiUN ADDRESSED
liRKM PEOPLE
CUMBERLAND, MD—Farmers ano
laborers from three states, Penna, West
Virginia, and Maryland were addressed
here by Wm. J. Bryan today and tonight.
The first speech was in the afternoon
to the farmers, and the. second princi
pally to laboring men, largely miners. In
both instances, the democratic candidate
reiterated his views concerning Mr. Taft
ana his attitude toward the republican
platform. The tariff, trusts, publicity of
campaign contributions, guaranty of
hank deposits and the labor questions,
were discussed at length, Mr. Bryan’s
remarks being substantially those de
livered yesterday in his speeches in Ohio
and at Wheeling, West Va.
The afternoon speech was made under
a blitzing sun whose rays beat pitilessly
down upon the speaker and the great
crowd which stood in the city hall plaza,
to hear him. A woman directly in front
of the platform was overcome by the
heat. Mr. Bryan observing her illness,
suspended his remarks and waited until
she had been taken away before resum
ing.
Arriving here at 8 o’clock in the morn
ing in his special car “Olivette" was at
once in hand by Mayor Kean, John
Keating. John Brophy, and other promi
nent democrats of the state. A program
of entertainment had been provideu and
the democratic candidate after breakfast
was taken on a long automobile ride
over the city find the surrounding coun
try. No speech making was Indulged in
on the trip hut on the return Mr. Bryan
held a reception on the porch of the
hotel. The arrangements for his visit
also included an opprtunity to rest up
from his ardous work of the week. Mr.
Bryan gladly availed himself of this part
of the program and slept for a couple
of hours. The largest gathering was to
night when the democratic candidate in
talking to the laboring men, pointed out
what the Denver convention had done
for them in promising remedial legisla
tion affecting the laboring man’s status.
His remarks tvere roundly cheered. Mr.
Bryan, accompained by democratic na
tional committeemen John T. McGraw
of West Virginia; Former Governor Jen
nings of Florida, Secretary Rose and the
correspondents left here at 9:40 o’clock
ground that it was not unsanitary.
