DANGER POINT PASSED
WATERS OF ALABAMA RIVER ARE
 PRECEDING.
Warnings of Weather Bureau Enabled Farmers to Save Their Crops Twenty-two Feet Highest
 at Montgomery.

The freshet in the Alabama River has been a matter of vital importance to many in this section during the last two days.
 Happily the danger is past for Mont gomery, the river beginning to fall slowly here late yesterday afternoon. after reaching maximum of about 22 feet. This was not quite as high as 1t was estimated 1t would go.
 At Wetumpka and Milstead the river going very nearly to the stages esti- mated by the Weather Bureau on Mon day. At Selma the water was still rising last night.
 Section Director F. tP. Chaffee, of the Weather Bureau said last night, that the crest of the rise would proba- bly, reach Selma this afternoon or this evening, giving a stage of about 25 feet at that place.
 Considerable low land corn and cot ton has been ruined by the freshet and considerable timber was lost but if the water recedes as rapidly as 1t is thought it will. considerable corn now partly submerged will be saved. Corn and cotton on thousands of acres of land were saved by building levees sloughs, on the strength of warning issued by the Weather Bureau Monday, thus saving crops that would other wise have been lost. One farmer. W. ii HendersOn, haVed over three thOu- sand bushels of corn in this way It is difficult to estimate the value of the river warnings to the farmers, but the aggregate value of crops saved is con siderable.
 An August river rise of the propor- tions of this one Is very rare in the rivers of this section. In fact, the river now is higher here than it has been in about eighteen months. about 15 feet in Febraury being the highest of last winter
 President J. NJ Carmichael of the State Convict Board said yesterday that about twenty acres of the States Montgomery County farm was submerg- ed by the Tallapoosa River, but that little of the crop would be injured.
 He talked with the superintendent of the farm by telephone and said that if the corn field which was over flowed was destroyed 1t would. not mean loss of more than 100 buhels of corn.
