WATER FIVE FEET DEEP
IN NORTHERN LOUISIANA
Territory Near Mouth of the
Mississippi WiIl Soon Catch
Crest of The Flood
I Associated Press. )


NEW ORLEANS. La, April z5.--Wa-
ter today is Eve feet deep in the town
of Clayton, La, according to reports
received here from Concordia Parish
sections, which are feeling the full ef-
feet of the Salem crevasses. Water
is reported rising in Concordia and six
or more parishes are more less mum
dated. Weeks will elapse befoe the in
habitants of flooded sections I'm Louis
lana and Mississippi can return to
their homes. e-to
The flood reached F'errfday, in up
per Concordia, today and rs gradually
creeping up on other towns, and back
water from the Sale creyasse, which
broke the Tensas levee near Clayton
and flooded the latter town last night,
are expected to eventually reach Viz
dalia, La, opposite ,-Natchez, Miss.
Clayton is under nearly five feet of
water today and 2,580 acres of rich
lands, were added 10, the vast area all
ready inundated. Special trains re-
moved Farriday citizens to safe places
last night.
Two coach loads of refugees arrived
at Vidalia- yesterday, from Jonesville
and reported that town under, water. n
relief substation was opened at Vida
ia yesterday with sufficient supplies
for the tie being. 1t is predicted BY
many that Concordia parish will be I'M
der water before the flood recedes.
Reports from Greenville, Miss, say
that there. are few families in re-
mote sections inundated by the water
from the Beulah crevasse yet without
relief and rescue parties started out
this morning to reach them if possible.
Special mail routes by boat and hand
cars has been established to reach all
available points. Upper Sharkey ana
Lower Washington counties, Miss,
felt the encroaching waters today, Bel
iona and Silver City getting water
from the Sunfiower river.
DR.. I. NJ. Kline, district forecaster
of the United States weather bureau,
still insists that the pediction or 2l.4
feet on the government river gauge
here will be realized. he said last
night that the crest of the flood had
not vet reached the Louisiana line.
"All of the basins in North Louisi-
an. South Arkansas and Northwest
Mississippi arc filled up" said he, land
the river in that section is practically
fifty miles wide This water is begin
ming to flow straight through and
come back to the Mississippi through
tributaries. When you figure that fifty
miles of water is to be converged to a
mile width down here, 1t is not unrea-
sonable that we should have very high
water"

'"'PEOPLE KNOW WILSON'S

!. C. Powell of Fannin, Says.
Wilson Sentiment is Solid
in His Part of the State

'The common people consider that VIII

preston that j. c. Powell, of Fannin
county, uses in summing up the presi-
Dental situation in his section of Geor-
giai.
Mr.. Powell was formerly the represent
alive from Fannin county, in 1866, and
is IN close touch with political sentiment
IN. and. around that county. He was
caller at Wilson headquarters in the
Kinball Wednesday morning.
The sentiment for Wilson in Faunin is
practically solid and almost unanimous"
he declared.
81 do not believe there are 20 men in
the county against Mr.. Wilson. Practi-
cally nobody in my county is for Mr. I'm
derood. We do not consider. that Mr.. I'm
derwood is in the race for president at
all. He has gotten no votes anywhere
except In Alabama, his home state, and
my whole section Is for Wilson. The
common people consider that Wilson's
fight is their fight. as the ring politi-
clans are all against him. We want

pecially as the head of that family is the

FARMERS ARE FOR WILSON
SAYS ONE OF THEM; WHY?
Afford Hendrick, of Union City,
Says Majority of Them Re-
member Lamb Case

Alfred Hendrick, a prominent farmer
Of Campbell county, residing in Union
City, visited woodrow Wilson headquar-
tiers Tuesday and made the following
statement:
Il have been keeping myself posted, to
the best of my ability. as to how the
farmers stand, in this presidential pri-
mary. I am confident that they are for
Woodrow Wilson. feel very sure that
Campbell county will go for him. Nearly
every man in Union City is for Wilson.
From all the information that 1 can get.
from talking 20 people throughout the
state 1T, seems certain that Woodrow
Wilson win carry Georgia on May 1.
Mr.. Underwood had an opportunity to
befriend the farmers when they begged
him not TO let John Lamb be made
chairman OF the agricultural committee,
bat in spite of all of their protests, he
went ahead anyhow and supported Mr..
Lamb for that position and had him APP
pointed chal. llIan Of the agricultural
committee. Mr.. Lamb is a protege of
wall street and Mr.. Underwood knew it.
He has constantly fought the Farmers
Anti-Cotton Futures bill, and is using his
position now as chairman of the agricul-
tural committee TO defeat that measure
OF the Farmers union. So far as putting
agricultural implements on the free list
is concerned, Mr.. Underwood had no
more TO do with that than the other
Democratic members of the ways and
means committee.
1.-The farmers are for Wilson because
they know that he is the strongest and
ablest man I'm the party, and represents
Democracy's best and only hope to win
next fall against the Republicans"

DRUGGISTS INDICTED
BY TOWNSVILLE JURY
Big Legal Battle to Be Fought
on Alleged Prohibition
Violation
Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
BROWNSVILLE, Ga. April 2.-That
there will be a big legal battle in the SUI
perio- court here next week as the out
come of the indictments brought by the
grand jury against some of Thomasvilles
prominent druggists. charging them with
selling whisky, alcohol and other intoxi-
cants. is very probable.
The grand jury was in session all the
week. and it was understood that it was
investigating the sale of liquor, etc. but
it was not learned until the indictments
were brought in that the jury had found
what they deemed sufficient evidence to
warrant them in bringing indictments
against the druggists.
& 1t Is said that the alleged evidence was
given by detective Harry Barker. who,
il IS said. was employed by several citi-
zens to keep a watch on the druggists
and ferret out all blind tigers, etc. Par
ker is the same detective who was mixed
up in the near beer troubles In Fitzger-
aid recently.
sensational feature of the affair was
the arrest, late Friday night. of Parker.
on a warrant charging him with misde-
meanor, the warrant, it is said. being
sworn out by some of the parties against
whom the indictments were brought.
Parker was subsequently released under
a bond for $500. bail being made for him
by some of those by whom he was said
to have been employed.
The ~.lair has created quite a senna-
zion here and is being very much dis
cussed, and If the trial of the cases takes
place next week, it will attract a large
crowd.
