Much Damage to Crops.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 19.-The
rains have been very heavy over the
entire watersheds of the Coast and
Alabama rivers in this state, and as a
result these rivers will raise steadily
during the next few days.
Section Director Chaffee, of the wealth
err, bureau predicts that the Alabama
river at this point will reach twenty
feet. This may overflow lands upon
which good crops are growing and in
this case much damage will be done.

Veterans and Sponsors Ball.

special from Memphis states that in settling the much-talked-of question of the grand ball to be given on Thursday night of the Confederate reunion the general executive committee has at last disposed of one of the most perplexing entertainment problems that has thus far presented itself. The ball will be pay affair instead of being free to all visitors It has been found impossible to do other than this owing to the fact that while the ball room in Confederate Hall will be the largest one In the South. there will be such an immense crowd in attend dance as to preclude any possibility of making the affair a social success. It is feared that if the ball is thrown open to free public that the result will be an overcrowded and unsuccessful function. one.
 The most important feature of the order issued yesterday Is that it settles the point In regard to sponsors There will be allowed one carriage each for the spon- sors of the three departments and for eighteen divisions. making a total of twenty-one carriages for that purpose. However. General Gordon has added that all of the, sponsors and maids of honor for the brigades and camps may follow at the end of the procession. He explains that this limitation is necessary for the comfort of the old veterans in the line of march.

Miss Claude Melvin.

Every day adds to the list of beautiful young women who have been appointed sponsors to the approaching reunion, and those who will represent Alabama are among her recognized belles and beauties.
 The announcement that Miss Claude Melvin of Selma has been appointed sponsor for the brigade of veterans by General Vaughan of Mobile will be of great interest to society here, where she has so often been an admired visitor.
 Of Miss Melvin's appointment. the Selma Journal says:
 Selma's fame for her beautiful women has often in the past caused those look ing for typical Southern beauties to rep resent the State, to turn their eyes in this direction. Thus it was that last year when the General commanding the Ala barfa Division of the Confederate Veter- ans wanted sponsor for the State Miss Page Nelson of this city was selected.

Upon the farewell evening of the musi- cal carnival in Nashville MT. Arthur Philips, who Is so we'll known and such a great favorite in Birmingham shared the honors with Theodore Thomas and the soloists, the appreciation of MT. Philips admirers finding expression in the presen- tation of a handsome loving cup. MT. Philips trained the festival chorus and di- rected the Thomas orchestra.
 Of the presentation the Nashville American writes:
 1. Before the grand chorus began It's work, and while Arthur Philips was standing, baton In hand at the directors stand, pr. J. U. Rust advanced to the front of the stage and in felicitous speech pre- scented Mir. Philips with handsome and beautiful designed silver loving cup of generous proportions.
 MT. Rust called attention to the fact that Theodore Thomas had already con ferred the honor of the baton upon MT. Philips, and that now 1t was his pleas ing task to present this token from the chorus with whom he had toiled so faith fully and so successfully. He remarked that in his chorus MT. Philips had estab- lished a nucleus for a future organiza- ton of a choral society that would be a charming feature to all lovers of music in Nashville. The speaker remarked that the recipient of this elegant favor had come to Nashville but few months ago, but during the passage of these few months the people of Nashville had learned to love him.
 The presentation of the loving cup to MT. Philips was applauded enthusias- tically by the audience.
