OF loss to cotton and corn crops is about

THE SITUATION AT BELLVILLE.
MANY PEOPLE ARE TO DE FED AND
THERE IS LITTLE FOR THEM.
Damage Can Not Yet BE Asccrtnined,
Though the River Is Slowly
Falling.

Bellville, Texas, July 9.--The river is
slowly falling The damage done can not
yet be ascertained, but 1t is certainly enor-
nous. There are hundreds of families who
are left homeless and without food or
clothing. The relief committee appointed
by the chairman at meeting held here
July has been actively at work soliciting
subscriptions for the relief of these unfor-
tunate families.
The people here have responded 10 the
Several wagons loaded with meat, ilour,
meal and clothing have been cent to them.
This amounted to but little among such
a great number OF hungry souls.

will be too great upon the people OF this
immediate community whose cotton and
corn crops have also been graatly dam

REFUGEES MUST GO TO WORK
OTHERWISE THEY WILL NOT BE
GIVEN ANY RATIONS.
Seed VIII BE Furnished Them So
They VIII Have IA Chance
for n Crop.

Hampstead Texas, July 1.-THE river
is receding fast, but is not in banks yet.
Some corn was brought TO town today,
which has been under water for six days
at a place where there was no current.
This corn was we'll advanced before the
overflow and has apparently not been dam
aged. The grain has slightly sour taste,
but planters think that the sun will cure 1t.
There was lull today at the commits
sariat. But few applied for rations. as
about 1900 rations were dished out yester-
day to last for one week.
A subcommittee is at work at sunny
side, where everything is reported to be
moving along smoothly.
After this week only those will be fed
who returns to work on their farms. II
they have no seed they will be furnished
but work they must. or their needs Will
be greater in November than now.
The move made at Houston to procure
and distribute seed is the most important
vet undertaken. Not only should seed BIZ
sent for staple crops, but some garden
seed as we'll, SO that eatables might BIZ
plenty in short while.
Bridges are now being repaired all over
the county, but it will require six months
TO put the roads in good shape. Wells have
caved in all over the county and the LOSS
therefrom is very heavy.

ten UP and put on in the new opera house
here by local talent last Thursday night,
was given to the people OF Schulenburg
on Saturday night and tho entire pro-
ceeds donated TO the flood sufferers, be-
sides a list was circulated and dona-
ton of $50 was raised and sent to the suf-
ferers last Saturday.
A number OF inquiries have been re-
ceived here during the past week con-
corning our condition. The impression
seems to prevail in certain parts of the
State that Eagle Lake and community
are In the district afflicted so disastrously
by the recent flood. Such impressions are
wrong. The recent heavy rains and the
big rise in the Colorado river has caused
loss of about coo acres of crops. How
everA the water is oil now and the land
will be replanted in cotton, corn or peas
Immediately. Our condition Is not at all
alarming nor our loss irreparable. 1t was
once thought that the boil weevll would
destroy this crop, but the State etomolo-
gist having camped with US for three
weeks and acting under his advice our
farmers have exterminated the weevil by
picking up the cotton squares and burn
ing them.
The lake was very high and the levees
at the lower end were bursted; also some
of the levees around the rice farm on the
Dunovant plantation were broken during
the heavy rains recently. but they have
been repaired and the work of irrigation
is started UP again.

THE CONDITIONS AT NAVASOTA
ABOUT FIFTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE
ARE TO BE FED.
the Bottoms, but Central
Track Is Clear.

Navasota, Texas, July l0.-The follow
ing Geographic correspondence took place
this morning:
To w. N. Norwood, ST., Navasota, Texas:
Draw on me for $500 for relief of food
sufferers. VIII get up contributions as
quickly as possible. Tbos. II, Ball.
The following reply was forwarded:
Hon. Tom Ball. Huntsville Texas;
VIII draw on you for 500. Thanks.
w. NJ Norwood, ST..
Navasota now has enrolled 500 helpless
people, and Mr. Womack, who is holding
up the committees end at Courtney, has
over 400. This makes 800, and it is found
that there is no small number of destitute
people along the banks of the swollen Nav
ascta river needing help, which will swell
the number of people to be sustained to
about 1900 instead of 500, as at first sup
posed would cover the number.
The gentlemen in charge of the matter
have used great care that no unworthies
get any part OF the distributed bacon and
meat, and this morning the committee
still had the governors money to hold in
reserve. The supply of food has been ex-
hausted but more has been bought and
will be here tonight.
The Central has opened its road to
Bryan for both freight and passenger SER
vice, The waters have run off the tracks,
but still lie on the bottom farms, going off
distressingly slow.
number of inquiries have been re-
ceived about the damage the waters have
done to the town, arising from exagger-
ated and obscure reports sent out from
some place. AS a matter OF fact, there has
been no damage TO the city, or has 1t ever
been menaced In any way. Backwater
came so high into Cedar creek as to make
several white families move out who lived
on the very bank. and some negro cabins
on the creek bed were flooded, but no
worse than Happens frequently Immediate
ly after a heavy rain.
The work of the local relief committee
is getting along smoothly and effectively,
with plenty of supplies on hand for iinme-
date needs, and more still coming
The mayor of Hillsboro wired today that
he had shipped cars of supplies, and Con-
gresham Ball gave notification OF ship
ment of Huntsville's donations.
Navasota's relief territory has been ex-
tended by the governor to take in the
southwest corner of Brazos county.
At a meeting of the county commission
ers yesterday it was decided to have an
other meeting on the banks OF the Nava-
sofa river Tuesday, 1Sth where the iron
bridge on the Navasota- Washington road
has fallen down, and to invite experts TO
be present and figure on it's repair.

Duke, Texas, July 11.--From reports
brought in today by reliable farmers the
cane crop will be total loss, as well as
cotton and corn.
The Post correspondent has not been
able to get names of persons drowned nor
has he been able TO get a reliable estimate
on the amount OF damage and it will be
ten days before he can get around to see
what damage has been wrought on this
country.
Colonel j. ]. Polk. general manager Of
the Santa Fe, was here today looking over
their losses. They tried to get to work
repairing their track but the water has
only receded thirty three inches up to 4
o clock this evening and water is too deep
to work in. Their losses have been enor-
nous.
