Second Flood in Three
Months Hits Local Aren
For the second time within the
past three months, the Chattoo
ga River overflowed it’s banks,
causing much damage and anxi
ety in the county.
The previous flood took place
November 28, 1948, and was de
scribed as the worst in four dec
ades.
Trion, located on the banks of
the river, received the brunt of
the flood, as usual, being the only
city in the county close enough
to the river to be it’s victim in
such times.
An official of Riegel Textile
Corporation, Trion, disclosed late
Wednesday afternoon that no
water was in any of the mill
village houses and that no evac
nations were contemplated
Water stands tn the yards of
dozens of the homes however,
and the official stated that
trucks were being used to trans
port the residents and keep them
supplied.
The glove factory did not op-1
erate Wednesday, the official;
said, because stem lines under
the building were covered with
water and heat was unavailable.
It was not known at that time
whether or not tt would function
today.
It was believed that the grey
Mill could continue operation
throughout the entire period, un
less the river rose more than was
expected.
Parts of the finishing plant did
not function Wednesday, because
of the water in the keir pits, the
Riegel official said.
There was no school in Trion
and Summerville school closed
| it’s doors at norm Wednesday.
Approximately six and one
half inches rain fell in Summer
ville from §:4O a. m. Monday un
til 2 p. m. Wednesday, according
to Mrs. J. R. Burgess, local
weather observer. Between Mon
day morning and Tuesday morn
ing at 7:30 o’clock .94 of an inch
fell, while four inches fell be-'
tween 7:30 a. m. Tuesday and 1
7:30 a. m. Wednesday, Mrs. Burg
ess disclosed. One and thirty-six
hundredths fell between 7:30 a.
m. and 2 p. m. Wednesday.
Walter Neville, Assistant Coun
ty Agent, stated that his office
nad iVceiveu no reports of live
stock lost because of the high
water, and that probably no
crops would be damaged.
He pointed out that the No
vember 28 flash flood damaged a
great deal of corn and cotton
Seal Returns Still
To Be Made Here
There is still time to take care
of unanswered Christmas Seal
letters, Mrs. O L. Cleckler, coun
ty Seal Sale chairman, announc
ed yesterday.
“After checking the list of re
plies against those to whom Seals
were mailed, we have discovered
that there are a number of coun
ty residents who have overlooked
their Christmas Seal letters,” she
added.
“Those who have bought and
used Christmas Seals know that,
they are directly supporting thel
1949 tuberculosis prevention and
control program of the Chattoo
ga Tu be rc ul is is Association,
which is now underway. Those
who still respond to these un
answered Christmas Seal letters
will be able to feel that they are
participating in the protection of
their own health and the health
of others in this community.”

acres of bottom land were under
wurky water.

Growing With
Chattooga
$1.50 A YEAR
Three of the seven County of
ficials here moved out of the
courthouse last week to make
room for their young successors,
who took office on January 1,
for a four year term. The other
four officers calmly watched the
movings of their “neighbors,”
having retained their positions
when the people voiced their
opinions last March 10 and again
in the General Election on No
vember 8
Colorful A. H. (Tiny) Glenn,
74-year old former sheriff of
Chattooga County, who was first
sheriff here when he was 21, left
his office here Saturday after be
ing defeated by the young, ag
gressive former Summerville po
lice chief and state patrolman,
Reuben A. Lyons, in the County
Primary. Lyons also defeated W.
H. Tallent, who sought the office
in the General Election as an
independent candidate.
Edmond Kerce, also a former
policeman in Summerville, was
named as Lyons chief deputy.
Other deputies have not yet been
named.
Sheriff and Mrs. Lyons, the
parents of two children, Robert
Earl and Gladys Ann, have taken
up their residence in the jail.
Veteran tax collector Austin
Scoggins, who had maintained
the office for 24 consecutive
years, moved aside Saturday to
make room for Emmett Clark
son, young war veteran.
Youngest of the county offic
ers is Ray Van Pelt, 24-year old
veteran and native of Chattooga
County, who defeated the Rev.
G. D. Erwin, to become County
Tax Receiver.
On the sidelines, so to speak,
was John Jones, Clerk of Court,
John King, Ordinary, C. B. Akin,
County School Superintendent,
and J. B. Stephenson, Surveyor.
Only Mr. Jones bad an opponent
in the election, and he defeated
“Muley” Hix to retain his office.
Legislature to Be
Ask to Provide
More Prison Funds
Atlanta (GPS). Although
some progress toward segrega
tion in the state prisons has been
made by the provision of sep
arate institutions for insane
prisoners and tubercular pris
oners, this progress has not been
enough, according to State Cor
rections Director Charles A
Williams.
For that reason the State
Board of Corrections will ask
the 1949 Legislature for an ad
ditional $600,000 to bring about
the complete segregation of
women, juvenile and incorrigible
state prisoners. The Board will
ask the Legislature to provide
$250,000 for a separate prison for
women, $250,000 for an institu
tion for juveniles and SIOO,OOO
to build an escape-proof prison
in connection with a rock
quarry for the incorrigibles.
If a new prison for w'omen is
constructed, preferably in At
lanta or Macon, the present
women’s prison at Tattnall can
be used for first offenders there.
Director Williams explained. He
stressed the emergency need of
a prison for incorrigibles, say
ing:
“Invariably it is the incorri
gibles who promote strikes and
riots, advocate disobedience to
prison rules, and create chaos
and confusion among other
prisoners.”
Still another recommendation
of the director is the industriali
zation of Tattnall so that the
physically handicap:: ■ d prison
ers kept there can become self
supporting.
Director Williams said that
there now are 1.510 prisoners at
Tattnall, 260 at the juvenile
camp in Rome and 66 at a pris
on camp in Charlton County.
The remainder of mere than
6.000 prisoners are serving time
in various county work camps.
