Roach and Major T. H. Rentz had an engagement in Au gusta Friday to make arrangements two boys to enroll at G. M. C. They made the trip in spite of the wind and .rain, and returned late in the night, bringing the signed appli cations with them. They had a strenuous time, but they did not re gret the effort they made. . Messrs Jeanes & Robinson had r. mare and three mules in a pasture on the bottom land of the Oconee river. Saturday morning they wore driven out by the high water, and started swimming down the river. Mr. Ed ward Bass, Jr., went down to the river, and took a stand on the pump house of Mr. J. A. Horne’s irrigation plant, and seeing them coming down the river whistled to them. The mare heard him and turned towards the land. The mules followed and all of them came safely out of the water. Milledgeville was without mail Saturday until late in the aftrenoon The washouts on the Central and Georgia railroads prevented the trains from making their schedule time. The mail did not reach the city until about half past four o’clock coming from Macon on n train, which came to the city via Monticello, Machen and Entonton. A large tree in the yard at Mr. W. H. Jtwoll’s on Jefferson Street was blown down during the wind and rain storm Friday. It fell across the lawn of Mr. J. A. Horne and dam aged it considerably. The •elief to the ■ater situation in the city cume unexpected. The boiler room was overflowed, and the electric engine put out of order. When the steam engine was put in u«c, a main between the plant and the standpipe bursted. This was found and repaired. In the mean time the electric engine had been taken out and dried out. When an effort was made to start the steam engine again, it was found that there was no water in the boiler. The cur rent was turned on the electric engine which had heretofore refused to run, and to the surprise of all it began to work perfectly. All danger of a water famine had passed, and the mains lending from the stand pipe to the city were opened up. The County Commissioners took prompt steps Saturday to repair the washout of the fills .at Fishing Creek bridge, and make travel possible. Saturday after -m people were coming and going over the fill. The rain and wind started early Friday morning, and continued una bated through the day. The people in the city were largely kept in their homes and places of business. There were few to venture out on the streets. It was perhaps as dull a business day as Milledgeville has had in a long time. At one time Friday afternoon when the rain was coming down in torrents, the weather conditions reached almost cyclonie proportions. The wind blew in a whirl, and brought fear to many that a terrific storm was going to hit the city. THE CROP DAMAGE IS GREAT It hard to estimate the extent of damage suffered by the crops of Baldwin county during the rains and floods, which followed each other in quick succession. The wind and rain of Friday which brought a strom of no Hmall dimen- sent all of the streams on a rampage, covering the low lands, and heat down and drowned out the crops, on the up lands.
