Pine Bluff, Ark, Dec. 2.--Last night
the river had passed the IS foot stage
and it's crest stage of 2G feet is an
ticipated. A large section Of the

slowly disappearing into the river and
warehouses along the bank, which
have already been partly wrecked. are

Should the water break through the

and a mile long will be destroyed

CAN'T BE FOUND.
Relatives of a Dead Man at AShcvilIe
Can't Be Located.

The body Of James Orlando Ami
don, who died in a hotel at Asheville
several days ago, still lies unclaimed
in an undertaking establishment in
that city. The body is embalmed
and dressed ready for burial, and the
lodge of Masons is using every eff
fort to locate the relatives Of the
deceased. A badge found on the
lapel of the strangers coat indica-
ting that he was a member of that
Order. The deceased is said TO
have a brother named G. Fred Ami
don at birmingham, Mass, and a
sister named Miss So Amidon at Mid
bury, N. H., but kilograms to both
places failed to elicit any response.
In the pockets of the dead mans
clothing was found a postal card
from the Hawkins Publishing Com
pany OF Waterville, n. Y, addressed
to the deceased at Miami, Fla.

THE USUAL
Filed BY Dantzler, Meyers and Prio-
leau for the Fees.

leau for the Fees.
March "a is the day fiXe for hear
ing the contests filed for the seats Of
Mess. Legare, Patterson and Lever
by the three negroes, who claim to
have been elected to congress. Aaron
P. Prioleau, who has been figuring
some in the prints of late, and who
once figured in Jail for robbing tho
mails, is contesting the Seat of Le-
care. Isaac Myers from somewhere
about Aiken, is contesting the seat
Of Patterson, while A. D. Dantzler
contests Levers seat. All three Of
these negroes have contested before,
and, finding it profitable, have done
it again. They each get $4,000 al
lowed by congress to any one who
files a contest. The wonder is that
there are not a dozen negroes every
time, instead of one in each district.
All they have to do is to get up and
run, then file a notice that they were
r%ightfully elected and cheated out of
it. 1t is not necessary to get votes
at all. The election committee OF
the house, which will hear the con-
testants, will have some fun out of
the negroes who appear before them
and then vote unanimously to throw
their cases away as being without
any justification. n

Democratic Opportunity.

1--WE are not likely to have q
walkover in 1908. and this is not the
time for dissensions within the par
ty ranks. "---Leslie M. Shaw.
The Washington Herald says this
obvious truth, uttered by the recent
secretary of the treasury, and refer
ring especially to the republican sit
uation in Iowa, is equally applicable
to the country at large, Party lines
are broken everywhere. All we'll
Informed republicans like Mr.. Shaw
keenly appreciate that no "walkov-
er" is in prospect for 1908.
Discussions are the rule, not the
exception. A great party is work
ing at cross-purposes. 1t is at log
gerheads as to men, wide apart as
to measures; uncertain. undeter'
mined. and afraid.
It is as a house divided against
itself.
Six months before Harrison's ov-
erwhelming defeat in 1892, possibly
party conditions were as bad as they
are today, but certainly no worse.
Rooseveltism is almost, if not
quite as strong as ever it was, in
spite of adverse material conditions;
but Rooseveltism, as everybody
knows, is not rep%ublicanism. and
the only republican who, apparently
can keep alive the whole of this
Rooseveltian sentiment--Roosevel
himself---has eliminated himself
from the presidential equation.
Mr.. Shaw puts it mildly enough
when he says I'VE are not likely to
have a walkover in 1908" Repub-
leans of somewhat less prominence
are saying, I'VE shall be lucky if we
escape defeat" They are fast COM
inp to believe, in fact, that but one
Of their number--Hughes, OF New
York---cen safely insure the party
salvation, and Hughes, OF New
York, strange to say. is not to be
permitted to have the nomination,
if the administration can prevent 1t.
Hence the clouds now lowering
over the 6. o. p.
If the democratic party is really
lacking in optimism at this momen-
tous juncture, as it seems to be. we
can account for it only upon one OF
two theories---either it does not read
the signs of the time Alright, or made
sick at heart by hope long deferred,
it's pessimism is become chronic
And the most hopeless type OF pessl-
mist, we may add, is that still too
ubiquitous democrat who obstinate
" refuses to see in William Jennings
Bryan the man of the hour--the
democrat CT all democrats to whom i'll

Should Be Instructed.
Herman Ridder, editor of g Nev

Herman Ridder, editor Of g New
York paper. recently travelled
through the South urging, so the
the New Orleans Times-De Democrat
says. the Democrats of this section
to see to it that Mr.. Bryan is not
nominated at Denver. In an inter-
view with the Times Democrat MI.
Ridder says: Il am convinced that
Mr.. Bryan can not carry a northern
state, and l would like to suggest to
our southern friends that they
should not instruct their delegates
for MIR. Bryan, but that they should
go to Denver uninstructed, so that
the Democrats all over the country
may consult and advise together in
regard to the best man to put at the
head of the ticket. Perhaps by
that time Mr.. Bryan himself will
come to the conclusion that by his
public utterances he has made him
self impossible and will agree with
the other Democrats in nominating
a winning ticket"
But why should the rank and file
of democracy leave to their repre-
sentatives the duty of doing what
the rank and file should do? The
men whom Mr.. Ridder represents
would, according to the'Philadelphia
Press, be satisfied with anybody
but Bryan" Why not trust the
rank and file to say what the party's
course shall be? So far as Mr.. Bry-
an is concerned he has not asked
and will not ask for the vote of any
man or of any state. He does say,
however, that it is the duty of Dem
ocrats in precinct, county and state
convention to instruct their dele
gates as to the choice for the Dem
ocratit nominee.
The New Orleans Times-D Democrat
puts it we'll when in referring to Mr..
Riders mo instruction plan" ii
says: we think that the will of the
constituencies can not be made too
plain. An uninstructed convention
would present bouudless possibilities
of chicane. No candidate should be
considered, unless his record will
stand the probe of popular scrutiny
Under our primary system. we have
earned to judge candidates on their
merits and have forever foregone
the assistance of the middlemen who
used to pack conventions and thwart
the peoples will. We once labored
under the delusion that United
States senators could not be chooser
without days and weeks of wrang'
ling in state legislatures. But, hap
PLY, all that has been changed anC
we can not see why the democracy:
standard bearer should not be Sc
lected in like fashion. Whatever il
done, let it be done, in the open
The dark horses should be kept il
the stable--and so should the jock
eys who are so eager to mount"

TRYING TO FOOL THEN
Roosevelt and Taft Beg for the Ne
gro Vote.

Jack McGhee in his letter to The
State from Washington says the ne
gro tickling plant Of the Ohio plat
form, upon which Taft is to run for
the presidency, and which it is un-
derstood was drafted by one T. R.,
at the White House, is causing on
siderable comment in Washington.
This plank is to cut down representa-
ton in congress of the Southern
States because of the disfranchise-
ment of the negro. 1t has often been
agreed by Southern statesmen that
if the North will frankly admit that
the Southern States have a right to
disfranchise the negro then there
would be no objection to cutting
down the representation accordingly.
But there has been no disfranchise-
ment of the negro bcause he is a
negro, but >because he is ignorant or
properties.

business in Columbia. AS business
manager of the Charleston-Evening

Several years ago he became circula-
ton manager Of the State, in which
position he has also done good work.
He now holds this position.
Mr.. McMaster during his residence
in Charleston represented that coun-
ty in the House of Representatives

interest in public matters. He has
