HERNANDO ROAD.
Progress Made by the Conns71tee TO
Collect subscriptions.

The committee appointed at a recent
meeting, held at Seeier's grocery. to OBJ
tain subscriptions for building turnpike
out the Hernanto, road; we're hard at
work all day Yesterday, and succeeded in
raising Quite handsome amount They
wish to increase it to $4,000, SO as to bid
for full third of the money now in the
hands of the Turnpike Commissioners.
As the latter have called a meeting
to take place at the courthouse on
April 1st to listen to discussion and to
receive bona yfde subscriptions, the resi-.
dents along the line of the road are anx-
ious to finish their labors as quickly as
possible. As the pike will be of the great
est benefit to Calvary Cemetery they think
there shoild be no trouble in obtaining
considerable aid from the owners of lots
there. People along the line of this, one
of the most important thoroughfares Of
the county, are fully alive to the situation,
and will do their best to accomplish the
end in view. The increased value of

A TELEGRAM received from Galveston
last night states that DIR. Chas. L. Gwynn
yesterday rendered his resignation as a
member of the City Board of Health,
saying that the sanitary condition of that
city is deplorable, and that the Board OF
Health under the revised ordinances is
merely an advisory body and is ut
terly powerless to help it, although
looked to by the people for
protection" He states further that
"should by any chance the quarantine be
failure, the germs of yellow-fever would
find a rich pabulum to feed upon and be-
come fearfully fatal and epidemic" Mayor
Fulton, upon accepting the resignation,
says he does not share DIR. Gwynn's lugu.

brought them to the verge OF the grave.
An immediate resort to DIR. ID. Jayne's
Expectorant upon the first appearance of

cate the presence OF latent consumption,

was reached on the 2Sth of February, 1920
feet above the low water of 1879, and this
year, on the 28th OF February; it reached
32.05 feet above the low water of 1879.
The government engineers took observa
tions to determine the discharge of the
river at Fulton during the last days of
February. At this point the river proper
is quite narrow and very deep, with no
chutes or other outlets, so that the whole
volume of water passes through one chan
mel. The maximum discharge occurred
on the 26th of February, and was deter
mined to be ,466, ,445 cubic feet per Sec
ond, with a maximum velocity in that
vicinity OF 10l miles per hour. This
all means that 1l,500000 gallons of
water pass given point every second and
the current ran at the rate of 10} miles
per hour in the swiftest places.
At Plum Point the whole country was
inundated, and number of cabins had
been deserted by their occupants, who
sought refuge in some abandoned build
ings put up some time ago by the govern
ment aud built with view of avoiding

On the whole, the people between here

little, beyond the loss of stock and fences,

time as during former high waters. Previ-
Gus experience Taught them lesson, by
which they have not been slow to profit.
