The Coosa river up to the com mencement was lower than it had , i ever been in the history of any j one living in Rome. In fact navi ; gation was almost impossible tor I the larger boats, and small ones were used below Center to haul cotton to that point where it was 1 aded on the cars. A reporter was talking to Mr. Geo. Howell this morning and he said: “The river is lower than I I ever knew it before, and this rain i is certainly a blessing to river men. j Down about Center wagons hits j been fording ;he river without any I trouble and it was never done be | fore. ” In many sections cf this country rain has not fallen to amount to anything in nearly two years, and especially in the piney woods sec tions, th*’ wells are dry and farm |ers «om“times are compelled to . haul water many miles.

The wind played havoc for a distance of several miles, but it was at its height three miles trom here. When it struck the county convict camp on the Harris place the tents went sailing up in the air. Some were carried as high as the treetops. One tent fell across the tent, in which iever hl prisoners were chained. A negro convict was killed instantly.
