THE GREAT FLOOD.
Coyi noton, Ga., July 30,18S7.
Editor Covington Star :
Dear Sir : Not having seen a report
of the present great rainfall at Covington
in the Atlanta Constitution, I think it
worthy of a place in the Star, as a mat¬
ter of public interest ami »oiK)er.
The rain begun to foil lioj-e on 'Wed¬
nesday, tlie 27th of July, at 5 o’clock P.
M-, and ceased with .45 of an inch. At
11 o’clock at night it commenced raining
again and continued uninterruptedly
until oi o’clock A, M„ when t discovered
that my rain gauge was not out, and,
therefore, that part of the rainfall was
not measured.
From 5i o’clock A, M, op the 28th to
6.45 o'clock A. M. and, ontfieSOtJi, H3..55
inches of rain fell; inch, counting the
unmeasured rain at 1 we have the
unprecedented rainfall duringthisstorm,
up to the present time, of 15 inches.
When you think, of it, that 1695 tons
of rain water per acre fell from the
clouds in about fiO hours, you need
not wonder that the streams in this
county are much higher than eyer before
known.
The loss to this county in bridges is
very great, and to individuals in tlie de¬
struction of crops ou “ bottoms” and
U second bottoms," cannot now be com¬
puted. The crops on the down, high lands whipped are
damaged by being blown
about, and broken by the heavy wind.
The present high water will doubtless
be referred to in the future as the great
July freshet of 1887.
A remarkable feature of this rain¬
storm, has been the absence of thunder
and lightning, which had been so loud
and vivid for u fi iy days previous.

THE GREAT FRESHET.
Five Days of Almost Continu¬
ous Rain, and still coming
down in Torrents..
Over 16 Inches of Waterfall,
And the Country Flooded
Fearful Damage to Property.
An almost -unprecedented rain storm
lias prevailed in this section, as well as
throughout the entire state, since last
Wednesday evening. Over l(i inches of
water have fallen at Covington up to this
writing, Monday, with no prospect for
an early abatement. The country is
completely flooded, and great damage has
been done the crops, bridges, and other
property. The streams are higher than
they have ever -Leon known before, even
by “ the oldest inhabitant.” The crops
adjacent to the rivers have been submer¬
ged for several days, and are completely
ruined. W«cannot particularize, but all
our people having bottom lands near tlie
rivers in cultivation, have been great
sufferers, and some have lost all their
crops.
The losses in Covington are not very
heavy, and consist mainly washed in the de¬
struction of foot bridges, streets
and sidewalks, leaky houses, and flooded
cellars.
The Georgia railroad is a heavy suffer¬
er in our county, and it will be sometime
before the damage can be repaired. The
culvert over Cornish creek,between Cov¬
ington and Alcova, is washed out, with
about 150 feet of the embankment,which
is 70 feet high at that point All travel
has been temporarily suspended, and zflnce we
have had no mails from Augusta
Friday.
A transfer of mails and passenger was
effected on Monday morning.
It is impossible at this time (Monday!
to form a correct estimate of the losses
in this county. We do not believe they
will fall far short of § 100 , 000 .
The actual losses in property in tiie
state, judging from the reports we have
from all sections, they will not fall far
short of $5,000,000, while the damage to
crops will amont to as much more, mak¬
ing th.e total losses in Georgia foot up
not less than # 10 , 000 , 000 ,
JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.
Wash Bryant Shoots George
Kelly and Kills Him in his
Own Yard at Night.
The Killing Justifiable.
AYasl> Bryant Shot and killed George
Kelly, on Mr. &ach Almand’s place, be¬
tween Salem camp ground and the line
of Rockdale county, on Thursday night,
July 28, 1887.
Both men are negroe?, and the shoot¬
ing is pronounced to he justifiable.
The circumstances connected with the
affair are a little singular, at least, if they
are not crooked.
It seems, from all we can gather con¬
cerning the affair, that George Kelly left
his home on Wednesday morning, tell¬
ing his wife he was going to Atlanta.—
Kelly’s family consisted of himself and
wife, and his wife’s sister, who was a
young woman, During Wednesday
night someone went to Kelly’s house at
a http hour, and knocked at the door.
There being no one in the house but the
two women, they were alarmed, and
would not open the door. After knock¬
ing sometime, and tlie door not being
opened, tiie man succeeded in getting
into the house ; but the screams of the
women drove him away,
Next morning the women related the
circumstance to Mr. Almand, who ad¬
vised them to get Wash Bryant, (who is
a brother of the two women,! and an¬
other man living on the place, to sleep
in the house as a protection for them.
This was done, and during the night
the house was again attacked by some
one from the outside, who knocked on
the door and made other efforts to get
in. The men inside demanded to know
who it was knocking. But no answer
was made, and one of the occupants of
the house fired a pistol into the yard to
frighten the man away. The assailant
then ran off, but afterwards returned
with an axe, and attempted to break the
door open with it. Wash Bryant then
fired his shot gun at the door, the shot
passing through it, and striking tlie as¬
sailant in the breast, who fell dead in
the edge of the yard, his body being
perforated with shot from bis stomach
to iris chin.
Tlie negroes in the house being fright¬
ened and afraid to go out, no effort was
made to ascertain whether anybody had
been shot by Wash Bryant or not, and
they did not know until daylight Friday
morning that a man was killed, An ex¬
amination of the body proved tlie dead
man to be George Kelly, who had been
trying to break into his own house,
without letting himself be known to
those inside.
During the day Wash Bryant, the man
who did tlie fatal shooting, came to Cov¬
ington and reported the facts, as above
narrated, and asked tlie coroner to go
out and hold an inquest over tiie dead
body.
Coroner Osborn anil Sheriff Anderson
immediately storied for the soene of the
tragedy, When they reached the place they
it was late in the afternoon, and
found justice that of Capt. the G. M. in Cunningham, that district,
tiie peace had
had held an inquest, and the jury
returned a verdict of justifiable homi¬
cide, in accordance with the foregoing
facts.

NEGRO LYNCHED.
A negro man, named Reuben Hudson, was
lynched by a mob, at Redaq, a small water
station on the Georgia railroad, between Li
thonia and Stone Mountain, on Wednesday
morning, for making a fiendish assault upon
Mrs. J. M. Bush, a young white woman living
near that place.
The crime was committed on Tuesday morn¬
ing, near the hour of noon. Mr. Bush was
from home, and Mrs. Bush was alone
when the negro called at the house. He asked
for something to eat. She had nothing pre¬ he
pared, but let him have .a dozeneggs, when
went away. While Mrs. Bush was engaged
with her household duties, the negro returned
and committed the outrage.
He choked her severely, and threatened to
kill her if she made any outcry. After com¬
mitting the outrage, he went away, but return¬
ed in a few minutes and renewed his threats to
kill her if she told any one about it.
As soon as Mrs. Bush recovered sufficiently
to do so, she hurried over towards the railroad
where some men were at work, and reported
the facts to them. They immediately stared
in pursuit of the negro, and sow the whole
neighborhood was ar oused.
The negro succeeded in eluding his pu-suers,
however, until night, by which lime at least
one hundred determined men were engaged in
the search for him.
Hudson reached Conyers in time to board
accommodation train for Covington, lie
W.l* recognized by Mr. Boyd, the conductor,
Mr. Sawyers, the train man ; as well as
passengers, from the descriptions given of
him by Mrs, Bush to the pursuers. He was
with a rope, brought to Covington, and
in jail for the night.
The marshal of Lithonia, the nearest tele¬
station to Redan, was notified of the ar¬
and came down on the night exp-css t-ain
him.
Next morning the officer cairied him up to
Redan on the accommodation train, arriving
there about 7 o’clock. A la-ge crowd was
waiting at the railroad station ; and wh'-n the
officer took the negro off the train, be was
seized by the mob, and carried into a thick
woods, near where the crime was committed,
when he was confronted by Mrs. Bush, who
immediately recognized him as the man who
had committed the outrage upon her. He was
also identified by seve at other persons, who
had seen him about the place. This was all
the crowd wanted to know—that he was the
right man. A rope was p-ocured, a noose
slipped over his head, and he was immediately
swung to the limb of a hickory tree. In ten
minutes he was dead.
Hudson claimed Covington as his home,
where his wife now lives.. She is said to be a
very good woman. Hudson was not generally
known by our people, as he did not slay much
about home. Those who knew him, speak of
him as a bad man, and that he met a just and
righteous doom.
