ROME, GA.-(Speclal.)-The South
ern Cooperative Foundry Company,
application for charter now pending,
will begin work erecting a plant at

within the next ninety days.
Since the organization of the move
ment they have been offered several
sites for building, and within the past
few days voluntary subscription for

Much Damage Reported
From Many Points.
LICKING RIVER RISING.
Georgetown's Electric Light
Plant Unable 10 Run and
the Town I'm Darkness.

Special 70 Tho Exposltor.
Heavy rains fell Saturday In ali
parts Of Kentucky. AS a result or this
downpour and the previous rains, the
rivers and creeks are rising rapidly.
and IN many localities the lowlands ars
already submerged. In Western and
Central Kentucky the small streams
have done much damage. In Christian
County the creeks are the highest for
years, and Little River has inundated
scores Of houses and farms. Accom-
panying heavy winds have made the
damage more widespread, and In parts
Of the State these winds have attained
the proportions Of a hurricane. At
Danvllle the water-works englne-house
Is almist submerged, and Georgetown
Is In darkness with water n foot deep
in its electric light power-house. In
Harrison County the South Licking Is
sweeping away fencing and farm prop
eriy, and at Frankfort the Kentucky Is
rising alta a rate that threatens the
denizens Of the low grounds. Similar
reports come from various places.
The full extent Of the damage by
wind is not known, owing to the fact
that the wires are down IN all dlrec-
tons.

HIGH WATER AT MEMPHIS.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY The Missis-
sippi River from Cairo to New Orleans
is rapidly rising and there is enough
water in sight to send it above the
danger line from Cairo to Vicksburg.
The water rose a foot here to-day, and
in four days it will probably be above
the danger line At Cairo the danger
line has been passed with a further
heavy flood coming down the Ohio,
Cumberland and Tennessee.
Two creyasses in the levees in the
Mississippi delta are not yet complet-
ed, and it will not be possible to fill
them within ten days. The situation
is regarded as extremely grave and
unless there is a general freeze
throughout the North Mississippi and
Ohio valleys a repetition Of last years
food is looed for, although the dam
age will not be so great, owing to thC
fact Of its being early in the year ant

SOUTH LICKING RISING.
Expected 10 Reach the Highest
Stage Recorded for Years.

CYNTHIA, KY.-(special) = South
Licking River at this point is rising
very rapidly, and from indications
will reach the highest point Tor many
years. The water at present is as high
as it was In 1884, when all families
living in the lower part Of town were
compelled to move out, and Is still
rising over a foot an hour. Families
living along the river, on both sides
and in the lower part of town, are all
seeking higher ground. All the small
streams in the county are swollen to
rushing torrents, and cannot be forded
at any point which breaks of mail
communication with country towns In
all directions. Backwater covers the
Cynthiana and Leesburg pike for the
distance of nearly a mile, and also
covers the Tricum pike for some dis
lance about mile below the city
The river is full Of logs, trees and
drift piles. Shocks Of fodder and oc-
casionally a stack of hay are passing
down. Five more feet of water will
reach the wood on the bridge at the
foot of Main street, and three feet will
flood the county Jail.

1t will be seen that Mr. McMillin at
one time came within three votes of
getting then ominatlon, there being IS
votes, with 40 necessary to a choice.
lie started out with 80 votes, and still
bols IS. During the week he lost Sen
ator Thompson, of Davidson, Senator
Guild. Of Davidson; Representative
Walker, of Hickman. Senator Guild
soon returned and has been voting for
Mr. McMillln steadily. Representative
Perry, Of Madison, who started out
voting with the Turley men, changed
to McMillin, and will stay on that side
of. the House. Senator Gum started
out as n Turley man, then changed to
McMillin, then Taylor, and finally
back to .Turley. On the wind up Mr..
McMuliu has really lost one man,
Speaker Thompson, as Mr.. Perry fills
the place left vacant by Mr.. Walker.
/ At one time Messrs KimbrOugh, Of
Monroe, and Dulaney, of Sullivan, who
have beeen voting for Gov. Taylor,
changed over to Mr.. McMillin, but
finally drifted back.
The McMillin men have managed to
hold their line steady and they have
presented n solid front. They claim
that the votes they have now will
stick, and that whenever there is a
breakup in the lines Of their oppo-
nents, Mr. McMillin viii receive the
nomination.
Mr.. Turkeys vote has lowered
around the 80 mark. Speaker Thomp-
son is again for him from McMillins
side and Representative Perry seems
to be lost to him for good Several OF
his men have on one or more occasions
wayered between him and Gov Tay
lor. They are; Senator Gum, who
has also voted for Mr.. McMillin; Rep
resentative Ewell, Of Coffee; Repre-
sentative Stone, Of Gibson, and Rep
resentative Hurt, of Obion Mr.. Hurt
staying with the Turley people more
constantly than the rest. The Tur
ley men claim that there are severa

which they win finally get.
The Turley supporters feel more en-
Outraged at the end Of the week thar
they did at hte beginning. Gov. Tay
