v ;
Don't these pictures make you yearn for the distant yesteryear when you could boat, swim, practice archery, plav tennis, eat a lot and sleep some under
the stars?
The views were snapped at the girls' summer camp at McCormick's Island and they only suggest in a very, very modest wav what an enjoyable life the
camp out o'doors has been made. Incidentally it only costs each small camper $2 per week. In one picture you'll notice a man genially standing on his
head. That's James H. Sourbier, the instructor, in charge, who obligingly posed thus for the camera man. He has had fourteen years of Y. M C A camp
work, has a life-saving medal and has passed wonderful tests for National Re d Cross life-saving work. Miss Katherine Staple's, a sister of Playground
Supervisor Stapes is the chaperon.

Thirty-four Dead and Loss
of Property Many Millions
in Heavy Southern Floods
Asheville, X. C., July 19. Flood
waters in the Carolinas and portions
of adjacent States were rapidly reced
ing to-day, leaving in their wake a
property loss variously estimated at
from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 and a
list of deaths from drowning that ha%
steadily increased since the waters
rose Sunday. The toll of human life
stood at 34 to-day with prospects that
it might be increased still further.
Two small villages in Rutherford
county, X. C., known as Chimney Rock
and Bat Cave, suffered severe damage
from the volume of water that swept
down the narrow valley of the Rocky
Broad river, according to meager re
ports reaching hero. The towns, each
of which has a hundred of more inhab
itants. -re more than 2£ miles from a
railroad, and without wire communi
cation.
From Spartanburg. S. C., came a re
port that persons arriving: there said,
almost all of Chimney Rock was wash
ed away and that there was no sign of
its inhabitants. It was pointed out,
however, that they might have reach
ed high ground in time to save them
selves. Eight persons were said to
have been drowned at Bat Cave.
Loss to railroads, industrial plants
and agricultural interests in North and
South Carolina has mounted Into the
millions and it may be weeks before
the transportation system is restored.
High Cost of Print Paper
Investigation Is Urged
Special to the Telegraph
Washington. July 19. —'A congres
sional investigation into the cost of
print paper was asked yesterday in a
resolution introduced by Minority
Leader Mann. •
The Republican leader seeks to learn
th»? reason of the high post of paper
and would have a committee of five
members of the House inquire into
the supply and production of pulp
wood, wood pulp and print paper to
determine the existence of a monopoly.
The Mann resolution was referred to
the Rules Committee.
An investigation is being made by
the Federal Trade Commission and a

vestigntors of the commission now are
working in various parts of the coun
try and in Canada, studying conditions
in the field.
