PISTOL POINT
MEN STEM FLOOD
CONTINUED from FIRST page, :

N an effort to stem the rise o. the
Ohio. Fearing this dixie would mot
hold under the strain. q tug was
ordered out with a rescue party on
board and brought the workers in.
The territory flooded is locat, Jet
north of CaiIo and comprises abo1
5000 acres. It is estimated that the
number of homes. business houses and
other structures flooded In the drain
age district number nearly 1000.
The city Of Cairo proper Is protected
from the flooded section by o system
of cross ~levees, and the big force OF
men at work on the drainage levee
have been thrown around the Cairo
levee. These men are raising and
strengthening the dixie SO that 1t will
be safe against any stage of flood.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-President
Taft today directed the quartermaster-
generals department of the army to
furnish rations to any sufferers of the
Mississippi and Missouri river foods
who are found to be in want The
President also promised Senator-elect
James and Representative Russell. of
Kentucky. to do anything in his power
to aid those made homeless and de-
prived OF the ~necessaries of life BY the
food.
With the Mississippi river at Men,
phis three feet above the high record
mark, and at Cairo II feet above the
highest previous mark, weather bureau
officials today were unable TO predict
any cessation in the constantly rising
flood below Cairo.
The river at Cairo this morning stood
1t 5S.9 feet, a rise OF tw%o-tenths since
yesterday. The previous high record at
Cairo was 52.2 feet, made in 1853. At
Memphis the stage was 43.4 feet, a rise
of eight-tenths since yesterday. The
previous record at Memphis was 40.S
feet. At Vicksburg the river stood at
Al feet, q rise of hve-tenths since yes
terday.
HICKMAN, KY, April 41-Two thou
sand flood refugees were, cheered after
an all-night vigil at the levees by the
announcement that a train would reach
Hickman this afternoon, bringing food
AND clothing.
The food situation this morning was
serious. Rations had run alarmingly
low.
This flooded town faces a desperate
situation unless outside aid is prompt
ly given. Relief funds, privately CON
tributed, are exhausted and the city
treasury is empty. There are 5000
refugees here.
Excepting those engaged on relief
work every ~able-bodied man has been
impressed for service on the levee. A
deputy sheriff rode through town to-
day and ordered groups of idle negroes
to the levee, threatening to shoot n
who disobeyed.

BARRE'S CHANCE TO LEARN OF
TUBERCULOSIS.

Under the auspices of the Vermont
state board of health, public exhibition
of charts relating to tuberculosis, to-
gether with talks by medical men, will
be held in Barre for two days, beginning
this afternoon and continuing through
morrow. Because of the fact that
tuberculosis is the greatest single cause
of death in Barre, the exhibition should
appeal with particular force to all the
people of the city, and, consequently,
there should be a large attendance al
the various sessions of the demonstra-
ton. The medical men may not be able
to tell some of the people anything new
about this disease, and the charts NAV
mot reveal any new conditions concern
ing it, but the talks and the specimens
will serve to reawaken interest in a good
icause-Barre's greatest fight at the pres
ent time. The exhibitions are to be held

When the Barre mail carriers start
out on their routes Monday morning,
loaded to the ears with armfuls of mai,
it is easy 60 see that the Sunday clos
ing of the postofiice is not entirely to
their advantage. Under the old system
patrons went to the postoffice on Sun
day and received large part of this
mail, thus relieving the carriers on their
Monday morning trips; and at the same
time the public was being given a degree
of accommodation.

for the bones as those of "a carnivo-

Democrats, you have duties to perform

You are confronted by the selection OF
delegates to the National convention OF
your party There are two sets of dele
gates, one progressive and the other
reactionary. The latter stand for Har-
mon or Underwood or any other candi-
date Wall street may finally settle upon.
The progressive candidates for delegates
to the Democratic National convention
from this district are HENRY c. FOX
Of this county and W. A. BROWNE, Sr.
of DarlSc County. Their platform is IA
miliar to every reader of THE DEMOCRAT
in the county. They are for Wilson or
any other progressive Democrat who
doesn march to Wall street music. On
the other hand do you know or have you
ever heard what the Harmon delegates
stand for? Why the silence? By their
silence they fitly represent the can
didate and the cause they represent,
These representives of privilege are
