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.
