$500 souls, not one-tenth of whom have had
enough to eat at one time since the 10th of
February. Hogs have been drowned or
starved until now there is not enough home
raised meat in our neighborhood to grease

last year; the small amount of cotton raised
by tenants and small farmers was barely
sufficient to pay their debts to To-

RIyERToN, BOLIVAR COUNTY, March ID
As l see many reports in the papers which
do not correctly represent the situation OF
our county in every particular, L will state a
few facts in relation to the matter as briefly
as possible. In regard to the break in the
levee at Riverton, tue condition can hardly
be exaggerated. Every buIldiDg-three
stores, six dwellings, aud a number of other
buildings-are a mass of driitwood, piled up
in the woods back of the town site. One white
man and five colored persons have been
drowned there. Every person living there
has lost nearly every thing which was in
their houses. This break, many yards wide,
is the worst one, / think, in the county, which
has river front of eighty five miles; and
the extent Of all the breaks in the county is
estimated by Mr.. Helm, one of the engineers,
who has recently inspected nearly all OF
them, at not exceeding two miles, and can
be rebuilt, he says, for $4,000. The balance
of the eighty FIVE miles has withstood
this food, which at my place Ia mile and a
half below Riverton, where L have lived for
the last twenty eight years. was nine inches
higher than ever before since the levee was
bu II in 1915; and, so far as | can learn
from the oldest inh abitants of this section,
never has been equaled. have kept in
book an accurate record of all the high
waters si4ce 1858. | write this letter
at Mr.. Walter Sillers's plantation,
about a mile below Brulah, the front
part of which is not under water distance
OF 200 yards back from the levee 10 the
dwelling house; the back part of all the
places are under water. A portion of the front
of the Bell place, owned by Thos. H. Allen,
of Memphis, ia also out. Mr.. Jacobs place,
next below, is hardly under in front, and Mr..
Fred Cisrk's place lex Governor Charles
Ciark's ls:e residence) is barely under in front.
o. the fronts of these four places | presume
there are 500 head OF cattle, horses and mules
the largest portion Of them owned by per-
sons back from the river where they ara
overfown from four to eight feet. b ulah is
under water some three ct. The M-ssrs.

a quarter of mile back from the Riverlon
break, still standing, but have been
seriously threatened. l have not been at

Rlvsrton, but the published account OF the
situation there is not exaggerated, although
