Greenville in Hard Luck.

The following late special from
Greenville to the Vicksburg Herald
shows that the levee situation along
the front of that city is causing great
deal of alarm. The dispatch says
Much uneasiness exists in the COM
munity because of the very unsatis-
factory condition of the new levee in
front of the city and the apparent
difficulty of completing it in time to
meet the expected high water. The
injury 10 the revetment work by the
high water of last spring necessitated
the grading down of the bank and the
destruction of three or four hundred
feet of levee in order to make the re-
airs needed. This has been done,
leaving the front entirely unprotected.
Three separate lines for new levee
were surveyed by order of the board of
levee commissioners, the one finally
selected, after many delays, running
directly through the long and closely
built block of residences on the west
side of Walnut street. The owners of
these houses accepted the awards for
damages. hoping to use the money so
obtained for moving their homes to
other localities The houses only could
be removed during good weather. and
the approval of the awards was de-
layed from time to time until it was too
late to take advantage of the fall sea-
son. In consequence several of the
houses were started on their journey,
and beng overtaken by the bad wealth
er, are now standing ''stuck in the
mud in the middle of the main streets
where they appear destined to. remain
until next summer. Others have not
been moved at all, but remain directly
on the line surveyed for the new levee.
which cannot be built until they are
COTTON out of the way. 1t is now inn
possible to move them on account of
the deep mud and the very important
matter of rebuilding the DESTROYED
levee stands deadlocked. The river is
rising, and there is not an inch of leyee
for more than SEQ feet along Green
ville's front. The outlook is not cheer
ing, and the dilatory action which has
caused the condition is The subject of
vehement protest and criticism.
