REPORTS SHOW NEED OF AID IN
THE SOUTH.

Plans to raise funds TO aid the 10000
persons made homeless by the Mlsslsslppl
floods are to be announced IN a few days by
the committees appointed to take charge OF
the relief work. Now that an Executive Com
mlttee of men prominent III business and the
professions has been organized and sub-com-
miltees have been appointed 1T IS belleyed
the work of raisin funds can be carrie out
successfully. William D., Buckner, Treasurer
OF the Southern Society explained last
night that the reason tor the smallness OF
the relief fund now subscribed was that an
organized method for collecting funds had
not been followed. He said he anticipated
everywhere q better response to appeals to
aid the flood sufferers when the new work is
under way.
The men in charge of the work of relief
hoDe to raise a fund Of $4,000 as a nucleus
to a greater fund. 1t is the desire OF the
committees to afford the food sufferers not
merely temporary relief, but to be able TO
give them a new start in life, as many FAM
lies lot everything in the flood, and many
who followed farming for a livelihood were
lett without so much as a spade.
News was received here yesterday by Capt.
Nejcalf. representing the Relief Committee
of Natchez, Miss, confirming the report pub
lished Yesterday IN The TINES that Gov.
Brewer of Mississippi bad refused to accept
contributions for the food victims. Capt.
Mctcalf made inquiry on reading the dispatch
Yesterday morning, and was much surprised
- receive Il confirmation from Natchez IN
favourable criticism of CIV. Brewers action
was made here yesterday, and one eXplana-
ton of it was that he wished 10 draw to Mis-
sissippi from the nei9hbouIm8 States much
needed labourers.
1t was said that people in Natchez had
already taken steps to prevent labour agents
from importing lQbourers from other STATES
where the need for them is equally great.
A dispatch from Baton Rouge, La, yestef-
day declared chat additional funds III LOUIS
lana were urgently needed. The Red Cross
reports show much suffering in Mississippi
as we'll as in the other States.
Mr.. Buckner said last night that reports
showed that persons in the food-devastated
p ,rts were in desperate straits, and greatly
in need of assistance. From IA Southern town
with a population Of 5000 he had received
q letter from the Postmaster stating that
there were 5000 refugees in the town, and

LOUISIANA GOVERNOR TELLS TIMES
OF RELIEF WORK.

BATON RoUGE, La, May 22.-T The territory
most seriously affected by the 4oods extends
from some distance above Nicksburg to New
Orleans. The food region includes the
lower valleys Of the Red River, the Ouach'ta
River, the Black River, and the Atcha-
faIoya River, and various tributary streams.
Approximately ten thousand squire miles
are submerged, chiefly in the State Of Loui-
siana, and prubabty 100000 people axe de
pendent upon the bounty Of the public, by
far the greater number being residents of
Louisiana.
Large effective emergency relief opera
tions have been carried on under the super
vision OF the United 5 ates Army, whose,
officers are in charge, the relief work, how
ever, being IN the hands of many loc1l COM
mittpes. These committees have charge OF
the relief camps. the distribution Of food
and clothing, the enforcement Of sanitary
measures, and the final disIntegrntion of
camps. and the restoration OF the refugees
to then homes after the subsistence Of the
waters.
Relief supplies from all sources are deliv-
cred to and distributed by the local commit
tees. Representatives of the American Red
Cross have been constantly in the Hooded
district assisting in the organization of local
committees, the establishment OF camps and
taking medical care of The sick. The Red
Gross service is a connecting bond between
widely scattered centres, aud is in Inmedlate
touch with the situation. IL close co-opera-
ton are the agencies Of the State and the
National health authorities, are studying
and attacking the health problems present.
The local Committees Of all sectlous OF the
flooded districts require largely Increased
resources in order to effectively discharge
the very heavy burden which has fallen upon
them 1t is suggested, without any desjle
to dctate methods, that the American Red
Cross occupies Il relation TO the rellei com
mittees which enables it to apportion funds
in right proportions. Any method, howey-
er, will be satisfactory and accepted.
| an glad to have the opportunity,
through the columns Of your journal, to eX-
press to the very generous people OF New
York my profound appreciation for their
substantial sympathy, and this sentiment is
shared by all The people of Louisiana.

Still most people would have
thought Harrison would have had
the decency to answer the appeal
of $4,000 citizens of the city of

And surely no one would have
suspected he would insult those
$4,000 citizens by wiring their

For State Superintendent.

The Democrats of Fayette county have,
by their resolutions of endorsement, in
troduced the candidacy of Prof. L. w.
Burns for State Superintendent of Public
Schools. Prof. Burns is the principal of
the State Preparatory School at Mont
gomery where he is in the highest degree
making good, as he has at all other points
where he has served. Mr.. Burns is a
native of Greenbier county where he is
exceedingly popular. He is graduate
of our State University and has dedicated
his life to the cause OF education. In this
work he has engaged with zeal, whole
heartedneSs and signal ability. He has a
wide acquaintance over the State and
everywhere has won the the confidence
OF those with whom he came in touch, ir-
respective of party.
In all candor he seems TO us ideally
fitted for the important office of State
Superintendent.
Prof. Burns is not in the strict sense a
politician, but he is and has always been
a Democrat from sincere conviction. and
his party record is one of mistaken fl
deity. His nomination by the State con-
vention at Huntington would be wholly
creditable to the Democratic party and
we are satisfied would add strength 10
the ticket-Monroe Waterman.

There was little of importance done on
Wednesday by the convention, so far as
outward appearance revealed, but the
committees were busy. The committee
on credentials had some vexatiouS con-
tests to settle, and were not ready to re-
port until all day had been spent hearing
the contestants. The committee on per-
manent organization agreed upon Con-
gresham Ollie James, of Kentucky, as
permanent chairman. He is friend OF
both Clarke and Wilson and progress
sive whose progressiveness is satisfac-
tory even to Mr.. Bryan.
The convention reassembled at noon
on Wednesday, but as the committees
were not ready to report, there was moth
ing to do but mark time. Prominent
Democrats, including Governor Folk, of
Missouri, Senator Raynor, of Maryland,
blind Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, Judge
Clayton, of Alabama, and others diStin-
guished as orators and statesmen, adj
dressed the convention and aroused the
enthusiasm OF the great crowd. Judge
Clayton, in his speech, said, al do not
know who the nominee Of this conven-
tics may be"-and was interrupted by a
voice shouting "Wilson |" The conven-
ton went wild, and for twenty minutes
the roar for Wilson prevailed. 1t was a
thrilling scene. Men and women stood
on chairs and waved hats, flags, hand
kerchiefS or anything else that was than
dy, and nothing could be to check the
enthusiastic uproar. The boomers of
Clarke and Underwood tried to create a
counter sensation, bat it would not work.
This incident showed more plainly than
anything else the great sentiment for
Wilson. AT the slightest chance the peo-
pie would whoop and hurrah for him,
and he was second only to Bryan in
public favor.
