HIGH WATERS IN TEXAS.
The Northern Part of that State Suffer-
 ferine Greatly From the Floods.

Fort Worth. Texas. April 2O- After causing a property loss. of more than S2.000,OO0, rendering 5000 people homeless in this city alone, and completely tying Wp railroad traffic on many of the most important lines of Texas, the worst flood in the history of north Texas is receding at this point Further damage is eX- pected at points below Ft. Worth which have not yet been reached by the crest of the flood.
 In addition to the enormous damage suffered by the rail- roads, the loss to farmers and stockmen will be immense. Hun dreds of head of livestock have been drowned and thousands Of acres of land inundated.
 The suspension of traffic lfas tied up hundreds of travellers in this city. Many of them are on the way to the bedside of sick or dslng relatives, and pitiful scenes are Witnessed at the Texas 6 Pacific depot here.

Congressional Central Committee and Candidates Previously Agreed That Candidate Receiving Most Votes
 Should Be Declared Nominee

H. B. Mckenzie and R. P. Ham by returned this morning from Camden where they attended the congressional convention which convened there yesterday as delegates from Nevada county
 It has been the impression for a number of years that the most corrupt politics that existed in the State of Arkansas abound in Ouachita county, and the high handed manner i1 which the convention of yesterday was conducted is actsal proof that any further conventions in that city where other interests than Ouachita county were concerned

they especially favored him for the position, but because it is characteristic of every true American citizen to want and to demand fair play in every re- spect
 That he was not declared the nominee at Camden was sad re flection on the convention, and an unjust injury to the party. As an evidence that the organiza- tion was unfavorable to Mir. Goodwin and desired his defeat is shown by the fact that sum- mary of the vote was not made and the result declared upon that basis.
 The delegates from this coun- ty declare that no nomination was made at all, and It IS most likely that the central committee named yesterday will have to call another convention to name the nominee, or that the matter will have to be submitted to the courts, basing their verdict upon the decision of the committee and the candidates to submit the matter to a popular vote and to let this vote determine who won.
 To permit anyone, even de- legated body, to rob a man of a nomination that he has honestly won, is something the great body of American citizens will not permit for a minute.

 While we don't believe a ma jority of the people of Camden are to blame for the high handed way in which a few of her politi- clans conduct matters, yet the town to a certain extent is large ly held responsible for what takes place within her borders.
 The Congressional Central Committee as well as the candi- dates themselves, had agreed previously to the primary that the candidate who received the most votes should be declared the nominee for Congress, and everyone who kept up with the result were we'll aware that Mir. Goodwin, of Bradley County, was the fortunate man. Not that

 T;,a monetary damage however wns slight as the bottoms lying between the two towns contain only tho homes of the poorest of the population. These lost no time in scrambling to the hills leaving all their possessions be- hind.
 While the loss was not much in actual dollars. it was great to the sufferers because they could so ill afford to lose their possessions. It is etimated that 5000 people were driven from their homes in the vicinity of Ft, Worth. and today 1000 people W are fed by the United Charities at the expense of the city. The Salvation Army also fed hund- reds more.
 Sunday afternoon the waters began to go down, and tonight the rain has stopped and the river is apparently going back into it's banks. By tomorrow or the next day it is thought the flood will be over and the people can ,ttrin to their ruined homes and begin the work of re- pairing them as best they can. The city is making arrangements to care for the more needy and will probably have to feed a thousand or more for a few days

Hickory ranks only twelfth among

1t is used today for a number of pur-
great strength, and no other wood oc-
curing in considerable quantity COM
bines these properties in a greater de-
gree than do some of the hickories.

of the available supply of hard woods
by the fact that hickory is distinctive

In the eastern part of the United
