A SOCTIIEnX SnESIIET.
ArocsTA Ga. Sept. 10 A heavy rain
Sunday along tho Savannah valley caused
tbe river to rise rapidly and many pTaces
in this city are covered with water to a
depth of t everal feet while all tho mills
were stopped oa account ot the blgliwa-
ter. The river is at tho highest register
since 1M0. II rose rapidly and is still
rising having stopped tbo cotton fac
tories in the western end or tbe city and
transformed tbe business and residence
portions iuto islands. Broad street four
miles !' Is in fair booting condi-
tion. Curronts are running through
cross streets from Broad to Green.
Stores are flooded from ono to
ten feet but the merchants gen-
erally have moved tbetr goods to shelves
and counters. Tbe loliet Is general that
tbe highest point has beou reached and in
spite ot general Inconvenience people are
patient and good natured. In the upper
and outer edge ot tbe city tbe suffering
nmong the families io the low built houses
will be considerable but stops 111 toon
be taken to relieve them.
Tho last great fresbet was just at tho
close ot the n ar in January 18C3 when
tbo rlvor registered 30 feet 11 inches. To-
day it is 37 feet 0 Inches.
LEFT SEVEN DEAD.
White Men Visit a Negro Camp Sleeting la
Alabaini and filny Seven Men
Moctoo'jest Ala. Sept. 10. A special
from Hilllardivllle Henry County brings
tho stery ot a terrible butchery which oc-
curred lu that neighborhood yesterday. A
white man refused to allow bis well to be
longcruscd by a croml of cnrup-me-etluj
negroes because they bad already gotten
moJ. of the water out of It. He took tb
bucket out of tho well and when one ot
them came Into ths yard for water he was
Informed that the well conld be no longer
used by him. Ths negro said he Wns
going to draw some ot the last water
drawn from the well and started to tbo
house to get tho bucket. This conduct was
objected to but the negro expressed his
determination to have it anyhow and the
white man drew his pistol and shot his
enemy lu the neck. That night a gang of
negroes visited the house and dared tbe
white man to come out but he refused to
do so and after shooting boles In bis win-
dows and doors they left. The next nlgbs
a gang presumably trleuds ot thowbltr)
man visited the neighborhood and left
seven dead bodies as a reminder to the
other members ot tbe camp-meetlnjg
crowd. ...
la the early stages oi Komtii history
there Is reason tobelltvo thai the Itomaaj
wife was completely under ths control ot
her husband. The lloraan Idea of a fam
ily made tbe father a despot wlUl power
otllta and death over his 'children who
conld do nothing without Vis comant.
This was tbe case In regard to wale call-
dren even after they reached considera-
ble age. Women according to tbe opinion
ot the early Ilomans were ahrayxoitll-
dren. Tbey required protection and guid-
ance daring tbelr whole life and coald
sever be 'rcod from despotic control. Ae-
corcllngly.when a ltomnn girl married she
had to choose whether sbe would remain
nnder tbe control ot her father or pass
into the control or as it was called into
the hands of hor husband. It Is likely
that ta the early ages ot the city site al-
ways passed from the power of her father
Into the hands ot her husband beeaJAe en-
tirely subject to him and was at bl am-
