PLANTER CALLS Y
 A FAIRY TALE.
Recent Story of Passenger Trains Running Through Flood the Work of Writers Vivid
 Imagination.

Leo M. Andrews, a planter who owns much land in the vicln- ity of Linwood and Fairfield, laughs at the story printed ln some of the Little Rock and Memphis papers regarding the seas of high water between Fairfield and Dunas,' says the Pine Bluff Graphic.
 MT. Andrews says the back water from the overhoWed sec- tions has just reached Dumas and Warner, but that it is not as high as the stories make it ap- pear. The land in this vicinity being lower than that section first overfowed the water would naturally run down that way, but could not be as high as it was in the sections first over- flowed, for much of the water has been drained off by the fall of the river and more territory had to be covered.
 The Iron Mountain tracks be- tween Dumas and Warner are under water, but there is nothing like eight feet of water on the tracks or any of the low country. The back water puts out the fires in the small engines on the Val- ley road for the simple reason that the fire box of the engine is about two feet from the tracks and the water could very easily reach it.
 The water stands in the ditches along side the track for about twenty miles, but does not reach the floor of the coaches and by no means could the passengers reach their hands out of the window and dabble in the water. ]"
 MT. Andrews says that the fall of the river has been very slow this year and no one can give a good reason for this. During the big overflow of 1898 the river, when it did begin to fall, ran out rapidly and much of the crop was saved. Had the river fallen as rapidly this year as it did in 1898 much of the crop could have been saved. It is the general opinion among the planters along the river bottom land that the stand ing of the back water and it's consequent stagnation caused more damage than did the over- flow.

PARKER AND HEARST.

Now there seems to be match
game between EDITOR Hearst and
Judge Parker for the nomination.
The contest is on with a degree of
warmth which insures the Staying
OF one or both. The latter event
is the logical result of such a con
test. The two factions of the
democratic party are lining up like
two stone walls. IL is evident TO
any political seer that a factional
nominee would mean IL suicidal
contest with Roosevelt,--Ari-ona
Star.
"Tbe two factions of the demo-
cratic party" are pretty good.
But, can the great ground swell in
favor of Hearst be called faction?
That there is a demand upon the
part of the common people" for
such man as Hearst ut the head
Of their government can not be
denied On the other hand, the
demand for Parker comes from the
Cleveland following which in two
past campaigns has been repudiat-
ed by the real democracy. They
call themselves conservative"
denbtrats, and as such the party
