Disastrous Rain.

A violent rain and electrical
storm visited this section Thurs
day afternoon, and reports OF
to damage, bridges, roads and crops
are heard from all quarters.
The damage in town is in badly
washed streets, which can soon
be repaired; but the reports from
the country are to the effect that
lands lying along the small creeks
are badly damaged by overfows,
in many places the growing crops
being swept away or covered un-
der tons of sand and debris.
The extent Of the damage can
not be known for several days,
but it will probably not be as
large as is now feared. The rail-
road tracks were flooded from
above the shops to below the de-
pot, but the damage was trifling.
The food was damned out of the
shops and the work there went on
uninterrupted.
1t is learned that in the velma
section, six miles south, great
damage was done to crops; losses
OF small live stock and many
chickens are also reported.

LEGAL Changes.

Thursdays papers make the
startling announcement that Chan.
Gerry Judge Jas @. Longstreet
will retire from the bench at an
early date and enter into q part
nership with Judge Ed Mayes, of
Jackson, for the practice Of law.
The Progress does not doubt
that q partnership with Judge
Mayes would be highly advan.
tageous from q monetary
point of view; but to lose Judge
Longstreet from the bench would
be considered almost in the ma
ture of a calamity. Then, we want
to see Judge Longstreet on the
supreme bench some day, and the
change as suggested has the ap-
pearance of getting him out of
the line of promotion.

A Clever Escape.

Prin,e Louis Napoleon. aftcrward Ma

Ham in 1916 in singular manner. He
was imprisoned for his attempts
against the French government, made
at BOulOgne in 1910. At o'clock one
morning the prince. having shaved his
mustache and thrown a blouse and
workinSman's trousers over his own
clothes and wearing wooden shoes,
quietly walked out of the prison. carry
Ing bookshelf over his shoulder to
complete his disguise. He was taken
to be one of the painters then at work
i'll the prison and was passed by sew
eral persons. A carriage was waiting
in the neighbOrhood, and by 3 o'clock
in the afternoon he was at Nalenciennes,
where he took a train to Brussels,
and he arrived in London two days
later. Meanwhile in the prison Dr.
COnneau. the princes physician, had
placed Il dummy in the princes bed and
told the governor that the prince was
ccnfncd to his room by illness. This
satisfied the governor until Z o'clock In
the evening, when he insisted on seeing
the prince and discovered the fraud.
BY this time. of course. the prince was
over the frontier. DR.. Conneau got off
with three months of prison. Within
thirty -one months Prince Napoleon was
the first president of French republic,
supplanting King Louis Philippe, who
