The town of California. just above the city, Is reported completely under water today and a number of rescents have come to this city for re- fuge.
 Covington. whose high location has caused 1t to be considered fortunate. is feeling the effects of the flood by isolation and by the cutting off of com municatfon. In Newport 1t Is estimated that fully 5000 people are homeless and almost destitute. There are nearly 100 blocks under water and the water Is encroaching on others slowly. All schools have been closed and are being used to house the homeless. Free soup houses were opened there today.
 It is stimated that at least 15,000 people are homeless today oh account of the flooding of the lower sections of Cincinnati and the cities on the Kentucky side of the Ohio at this point. Fully 5000 have been driven from their homes in Cincinnati, nearly 5000 resi- dents of Newport have been compelled to vacate their homes and all other cities within ten miles of this city re- port thousands more sufferers.
 Although the sun was shining a short time today and the rain locally seemed to have ceased. Forecast Ofi- cial Bassler offered little hope of early relief.
 At a special meeting of the City Council bonds for the amount of s10,- 900 were voted for the relief of flood sufferers, and the Mayor was author ized also to draw st3.oo0 additional for relief.

 The fire originated in the stables of F. w. Scheper on Bay street and its spread was rapid, as a high wind was blowing. The water supply failed and efforts to fight the flames were fruit less. They only stopped when they had nothing more to feed upon in the di- rection In which they were being blown. The town hall and the city market were consumed
 The large grocery store of F. W, Scheper was destroyed as was the Peo- ple's Bank of which MT.

in money. The cashing of a certificate will not mean a sale of the cotton. which will remain in the warehouse until the market is in the right kind of condition. E. D. Smith, the organ izer of the Association, made a speech in which he asked that the convention ratify the actions of the executive committee and resolve themselves to return home and begin organizing at once. The motion was unanimously carried. +f,sr
 President Jordan announced that he had been authorized to secure a char ter for the holding company which will put 1t on firm basis. He said he felt sure that the people of the South would finance the Association and enable it to fight opposing conbi- nations. When they adjourned the convention there were three cfeer s for Jordan. The following resolutions were reported from the acreage c"Tn- mittee and adopted:
 Your committee on acreage after due consideration begs leave to make report as follows: In view of the fact that a great many farmers have adop- ted the intensive system of farming, increasing the yield per acre. and new territory is being pidflted in cotton that heretofore has not grown cotton, thereby increasing the production, therefore, in order to maintain satis- factory remonerative prices; we urge and recommend a full reduction of ten per cent of cotton acreage for the year 1907
 We further recommend that the acreage SO reduced he planted in food crop. We are sure that unless the farmer unitedly reduces the acreage of cotton that they will be confronted at the end of the season with equally bad. if not worse, conditions then they were in 1904, when cotton went down to six cents per pound.
 The following report from the reso- lution committee was adopted: The Southern Cotton Association in gem eral convention speaking for the pro- duce of the South hereby memorializes the Legislature of every Southern State to put up on the statute books laws that will effctually exterminate the so-called dealing in cotton futures. whether in the shape of bucket shops. wire houses or so-called exchanges. and we further memorabilia the congress of the United States to take such action as Is within the authority Of the con- gress and reach these abuses in their interstate relations.

rHE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In Preserving Health and Beauty.
 Costs Nothing to Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the human system TOT the sathe cleansing purpose,
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; 1t is not a drug at all but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating on- tons and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion. it whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 If absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 Ali druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money ia in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather In the form of large pleasant tasting iozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey.

 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stom- ach and bowels. and to clear the com plexion and purify the breath. mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them: they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores. and all though in some sense a patent prep aration. yet believe get more and better charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tablets

 The present low rate of mortality is due in large measure to the advances made in medical science and the know ledge Of the specific treatment needed for each disease known.

No IMPROVEMENT.
Louisville Council Takes steps to RA-
 Iieve Suffering.

Iieve Suffering.
 Louisville. Ky. Jan. is.--Ths flood situation shows no sign of Improvement today, the most serious development being the discovery that the dike which protects the upper east end of the city is weakening slightly.
 Repairs are being made and men are patrolling the banks. No fear of q break Is expressed. The crest flood is not expected before Monday.
 District Forecast official Walz, in his statement of conditions today, says:
 "The Ohio has continued rising dur ing the past twenty-four hours, throughout it's length. but 1t ia falling in It's upper tributaries. The rate of rise has also decreased. Quite heavy rains have occurred over the water shed. particularly over the Kentucky and Big Sandy sections. The river will rise steadily at Madison, Ind, and Lou isville for the next several days, and will reach stage of thirty-eight feet at Louisville and ffty-four feet at Madison Sunday. with still further rise Monday"
 Local Government officials say nav igation today is at a complete stand still from Pittsburg to Cairo and little hope Is held out for an early amelior- ation of conditions. At Louisville the river continued to rise steadily at the rate of an inch an hour and at noon stood at thirty-six. feet.
 The office of the Union Coal Com pany, a one story structure between Fifth and Sixth. toppled into the wa ter today and a quantity of coal be- longing to the Atlas Coal Company. at the foot of Fifth Street. was washed away.
 It is estimated that more than 2.000 people are homeless on '"The Point" and in shippingport alone. and the ex- odus from these two low lying su- burbs continues with feverish haste. Tho City Council will appropriate money at its meeting Monday night to relieve the distress. which is ex- pected to be acute by that time.
 Many manufacturing plants in Lou isvillc and across the river at New AL bany and Jeffersonvi1ie have been fore. ed to close down.
 Trains from the East continue to ar> rive from three to fourteen hours late and there is some delay in the service north and west.
