HIGH WATER.

The Times Democrat in the fol-
lowing article, is giving warning
already that we may look for water
six months or so hence, in which it
says that the warning is given by the
Weather Bureau:
The warning that we will have high
water next summer ought to hurry up
the levee work now under way. That
warning comes from the Weather Bu-
rean, which in this matter can indulge
in long distance warning, and ill.,
stead of predicting exactly what the
river will do tomorrow or a week
hence, can tell four or five months III
advance We have been able hereto
fore to calculate the amount of water
coming down on us from the upper
tributaries by the character of the
weather in the North and West. A
severe winter III that section, with a
great deal of snow, means, of course, a
great deal of water poured down on us
from above when the snow begins to
melt. The Weather Bureau has shed
additional light on this subject by more
carefully examining the amount of
snow packed in the slopes of the Rock
les. With this known, 1t Is easy to
calculate how much water the river
will have to carry off when the thaws
begin. The report of the Weather Bu-
reau is to the effect that there is more
snow packed up in the Northwest than
ever betore--not the loose snow, but
the packed snow. which melts late in
the spring and helps to cause freshets.
This is, of course. only one element
in the matter of <bigh water in the Mis-
sissipp in the spring and summer
The mere melting of the snow will only
fill up the tributaries from the West,
and to be veryOtroubesome there must
be an almost continuous season OF rain
indeed, we have never had high
water without great excess of rain.
Finally. our greatest trouble in the
matter of high water has been from the
Eastern Northumberland the Ohio is
far more dangerous than the greater
river, the Missouri. because the Ohio
discharges ITS waters more rapidly,
whereas the Missouri is comparatively
slow.
But even recognizing the additional
circumstances necessary to assure very
high water. the warning from the
Weather Bureau. that one of the ele-
ments necessary to freshet exists-a
great deal of snow packed away in the
Rockies-should be carefully consid-
cred and the levee work to be done
should be fastened as much as possible.
With good levees. we have no cause to
fear combination of snow, thaw and
rain and simultaneous rising of the
Eastern aud Western tributaries.

The Greenville Times says that a
well known plantation manager near
Greenville, who makes a habit OF
keeping a record of weather and crop
conditions, says that his diary
shows that from September 1st to
January 1st, period of four months,
there have been but So days on which
cotton could be properly picked.
This fact, together with the universal
difficulty in securing labor, explains
the discouraging condition which ex-
lists, with large part of the crop
still in the fields, and the season so
far advanced that it is almost time to
begin blowing for another crop.

John @. Lewis, of Natchitoches,
the colored man who was appointed
by President Mckinley as register
of the land office, will not accept the
position, as it will be obnoxious to
the white people, who are the only ones
that have business with the office.
In an editorial on his appointment the
Vindicator says: "We believe and
hope that Lewis will remain firm in
his decision to decline the office; but
whether he does or not, we desire to
say very frankly that, in our opinion
his attempt to hold it, will result dis.
astrously to himself and 20 his race.
In 1874, Grant, with his iron will,
and with united Republican party,
whose members were blinded by
prejudices and passion against the
South, at his back, was unable to
maintain Lewis aud other members
of his race in Office in Natchitoches
parish, and We do not believe tina,
the attempt will be more successful
now"
