Negroes Driven From Their Homes In North Montgomery and Farmers

The flood in the Alabama rlNer "t Montgomery has reached its greatest height and is passing down the valley Forty eight and elght-tenths feet the government water gauge indicated at inc foot of Commerce Street late yes terdav afternoon. At this point, the yellow tide, which had been Iisihs steadily for sixty hours, hesltateu' stonped and after remaining station o,.y until in the evening, began to drop. The worst of the inundation had pass ed. .- to

The flood tlde Wlll slowly pass down the river,f reach selma sometime late tomorrow atter- noon. and the points lower down on ssturdav and Sunday. By that time the submerged lands in the upper val lev should be again free from water and the river confined to US pea;
 Not until the river has subsided again can the full extcnt or the oan age done to farm lands and croos pc estimated. It will take some tune TOT inc land to dry out sufficiently after the water has receded to permit 1t to De worked by the blow. The planting, aI- ready delayed by heavy rains, will De held back still further, while on those farms where the early planting had already been done. 1t will have to pc done over again.

 In Montgomery, the passing of the flood wrought but little damage yes terday afternoon, when the highest mark was reached. the water. Following up the ravine near the foot of McDon- ough street inundated some ten or twelve dwellings, belonging chiefly 10 negroes, driving them temporarily from their homes. The water also flooded the yard of the Capital City Coal com pany, without, however doing any great damage.
 A temporary halt in the work on the new reservoir which Is being dug near the old water plant, was necessltateu yesterday when the water percoiateo through the soil into the excavation, flooding the bottom of the hole. This was later pumped out, the digging will not be resumed before this morn ing. Beyond this slight damage, how ever, the city escaped unscathed from the deluge which has wrought such havoc among the dweliers in the rural districts along the river bottoms.
 Reports of damage from outside the city yesterday were very mcagre. Be- vond the fact that it Is acknowledged that great loss has been suffered throughout the valley. little is positi- vely known. One report received told of the narrow escape herd of cattle on the old Irwin farm. several miles from the city. had from drowning This

herd had been driven to the top of a little enlInence in the center of the farm, when the water began to rise. Here, it was thought they would be well out of reach of the flood. As the water rose, however. the herd was forced up the hill side until they were huddled together. barely out of reach of the water. They could be seen from a distance. entirely surrounded by water Food was taken to them in boats, and they had water a-plenty. but there was no method of removing them to higher ground once the flood had them surrounded. Fortunately, however. the high water mark was reached and passed without the loss of an animal.
 The crops in central and Northern Alabama yesterday suffered damage In addition to that caused by the flood. The unusual cold that extended over the antire state wrought much havoc with the early budding plants. Yesterday morning, the thermometer at Mont- gomery registered 31 degrees, one de- gree, below freezing point. A thin schum of ice was formed over, stand ing pools.
 Killing frosts were also felt at Meri- dian. Miss, Birmingham, and Rome Georgia, while Q heavy frost extend ed as far south as Mobile and Jackson vile, Florida. With the appearance of the sun, however, the iast of the cold wave began to disappear. During the day, the temperature rose perceptibly, and by today 1t is expected to be un- comfortable for those who wear over coats

 When received the letter of Rev, John Bass Shelton about Sunday ball, decided not to answer 1t. Afterwards I met him on the street. and. from common courtesy, ! referred to 1t. and incidentally remarked what had told others, that I was personally opposed to Sunday ball. though as good Demoe- racy I was willing that the question should be submitted to a vote of the people. He asked me to put that in a fetter that he might read 1t to his church. I declined. saying that I iid not want that done. Great was my surprise. when I saw that he had men toned my name from the pulpit and had quoted me only in part have always been opposed to preachers going Into politics. and I thought that his appro val would jeopardize the interest of any candidate F.
