Goldsboro, Sept. 30—Flood waters caused by continued rains during the past 10 days delayed trains and caused thousands of dollars damage to cotton crops and other property in this section.
Railroad bridges have been swept away by the high waters. Trains are running four to six hours late.
The Catawba river is at flood stage and still rising upstate, threatening to overflow and inundate lowland homes and farm lands.
