HEAVY FLOODS.
Over a Hundred Fatalities in the Flooded
District of Mississippi.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Secretary Ell
kins to-day directed that 300 army tents
be furnished for the food sufferers in
Mississippi. The tents will be sent from
St. Louis, Mo, in charge of any army
officer.
JACKSON, Miss, April 13.-The water
in the Tombigbee river is now falling
The number of drowned has reached 125
When the waters subside entirely, it is
thought other bodies will be discovered.
1t will be several days yet before the
river gets inside its banks. In many
places it was upward Of ten miles wide.
Mounds that have never before been over
flowed were under six and eight feet of
water. Houses in large numbers were
swept away.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 13.-Reports
are being hourly received from all Sec
tions of the state to the effect that the
rivers are rising rapidly and oyerfiows
are also momentarily expected to occur.
White river is higher than it has been for
two years. The Arkansas is coming up
very fast Trains are still delayed from
two to six hours on account of the wash
outs which occurred week ago.
WINNIPEG, Min, April 13.-The Red
and Assinaboine rivers here are about
bursting over their confines. The water
last night was only foot below the
highest point of the business centre of the
city and much uneasiness is felt by mer
chants and property owners. The ice is
still solid and If the jam occurs when it
breaks up, there is sure to be big flood.
Parts of the Northern Pacific transfer
railway are now under water and five big
bridges are in imminent danger of being
swept away. Goods are being removed
from warehouses on the river frolt. The
Easements of the Northern Pacific hotel
and other buildings are flooded.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 13.-Reports
from the flooded districts report the con-
ditiOn of affairs to-day worse than yes
terday. SO far 81 bodies have been re-
covered and as many more are known
to have been drowned. The Coosa river
is now eleven feet above low water and
rising rapidly. The Tombigbee river is
rising an inch every hour and the Ten
nessee river is now beginning to boom.
1t is within three feet of the levees and
if they break, hundreds of families will be
rendered homeless. No trains are run
ming on the Alabama Southern or Geor-
gia Pacific railways, west of Columbus.
Beyond Columbus the track is two feet
under water. The flood has spread into
Sumter, Greene and Pickens counties in
Alabama 1t is estimated that forty
negro families have perished in these
counties. Rain is now falling and the
indications are that the flood will exceed
the overflow of the Mississippi three years
ago. Carpenters are building boats by
the dozen in anticipation of an overflow.

Come on Now.
News and Observer.

THE DURHAM GLOBE continues with
force and power and patriotic ardor to
urge that fund shall be raised by the
popular subscription to have a North
Carolina exhibit at the Worlds fair
That was the alternative which was sug-
gested when it was ascertained that the
provision made by the legislature was
not available, and THE GLOBE has earn
estly pushed the idea. 1t has done more
than advise and recommend; it started
the list with subscription of $3.50.
This is very handsome. Why may
not others follow such patriotic lead ?
In fact we observe that the Blackwell
Durham Tobacco company has with the
usual liberality of it's president sub
scribed a thousand dollars. If others
would now say the word, the matter
would go forward. Cannot a hundred
patriotic citizens each contribute $3.50
1t is true that some provision has been
made by the state board of agriculture,
but the cause is one that appeals to the
individual citiZen-and any addition to
what the board can appropriate will be
of material assistance. Mr.. Leo D.
Heartt, of Durham will receive all sub
scriptions. We follow THE GLOBE in
urging our liberal aad patriotic citizens
to take the matter in hand and make the
proposed exhibit an assured success.

We Are With You.
(Franklin Times.l

THE DURHAM GLOBE is making strong
and earnest efforts to raise creditable
sum, by subscription, to defray the ex,
pense of an exhibit of the states resources
al the Worlds fair, which is to be held in
the city of Chicago. THE GLOBE heads
the list with $3.50, and urges all patriotic
people in the state to join in. While the
bank account of the Times will not bear
very large subscription, we desire to
say that our heart is right with you,
Brother Eairbrother. The state should
be well represented, and the one thing
needed to make grand exhibit is suffi-
cient amount of money.
