ATLANTA, On., Aug. 17. (A) Four southeastern states counted la dead nnd great property dam age in the wako of storms nnd floods today. In the wake of receding waters railroads, telegraph and telephone companies were struggling against heavy odds to restore communica tion lines which were broken by raging waters in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and (Jeorgia. I'roperty owners in those states contemplated thousands , of acres of wrecked farm landT destroyed and damaged homes and buildings as well as unestimated bridge and highway damage which cannot be restored for months. Wlille showers were forecast for the affected states today, the drenching rains and storm winds of the last fow days apparently had subsided. Probably the greatest menace obtained along the Ilroad river in South Carolina, which Is the drainage channel for the western edge of North Carolina as well, where a Lockhart Power company dam had already burst near l inon, S. C. 'i no structure, 1000 feet long and IS feet high, cracked ut mid-, night, threatening, ay a result the Broad River valley dams to Co lumbia. Wlille officials said there was no danger to residents in the valley, some f0 families were de clared by an officer at Union, H, C. to have moved to safety In the territory immediately below L.ock iiail.

Jjarly today tile crack In the long Lock hart struct uro was believed to be small with enough vent to relieve the pressure and prevent collapse. All the dams, as are the most of the Piedmont country's power dams, are i-onerote. Dams Stand Tests Some 4u miles to the west the para He! tng Saluda river, with Its siring of power dams, was de clared to be falling as a result of loosened flood gates at Ware Shoals and other points. Further up the Uroad in North Carolina, danger apparently had subsided, reports Indicating that Luke Lure dam near Ashevlllu had withstood the seige of flood waters. Many small dams in thm area, as well as in other areas of North and South Carolina col lapsed without serlv.UH damage to the countryside during tho height of the flood. In North Carolina the two great system of power dams on Catawba river, built after tho disastrous floods of in that stale, were receiving their first reiil test, and apparently holding safely the 4& billion cubic feet nf water Im pounded along the C a t a w h a course. As communication was restored lost night and tndny, reports came In of great damage throughout the Piedmont areas and loss of life was believed definitely fixed at ten.
