Asheville says the heayiest and
most disastrous rain fell today
in Asheville and the surrounding
country that has visited this vi

mined and hillsdes are yawning
gulches. Bridges are gone and
many roads are impassable. The
water is up to the floor in many
dwellings and has reached the fire
in the electric light plant. - The
city is in darkness. The water
of the French Broad and Swanan-
noa rivers have reached the high
est point on record. The water
is a foot deep in the ice factory
and flour mills. At Biltmore the
Southern railway tracks J were
washed out of-place and twisted
into all sorts of shapes.
Hundreds of people have flocked
to Biltmore today to see the dam

he can see nothing in it that would
offend anybody. He says the
teachers are very much interested
m the sermon, and that a number
of them have approved it.

The God of Laughter. *
At the recent banquet of the na
tional wholesale druggists' associa
tion in Chicago, Rev. Frank Crane
compared the respective remedical
qualities of laughter. Some ot
his epigrams are these:
Man is the only animal that
was made to laugh, and, as science
teaches that laughter means health
it is a sin for us to substitute ex
cessive drug taking for laughter.
Laughter increases the blood
circulation.
It enlarges the heart.
It expands the lungs.
It jiggers the diaphragm
