GOLF TOURNAMENT
A GREAT SUCCESS
MANY LOW SCORES MADE BY
PLAYERS ON LOCAL LINKS
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

The largest number of players that
has ever been on the links at one
time, contested for the golf medal
yesterday afternoon. The weather
was ~C-fcct and che links were in ex-
cellent condition, which, in a large
measure viii account for the low
scores turned in by the players. S.
Brown won the medal in a closely
contested game.
During the afternoon a putting con-
test was INDUCED in by the young
ladies and the first prize, a box of
candy, was won by Miss Marie Hop
kins. The ladies served tea and
sandwiches to the players and their
friends, after which a phonograph
was used to furnish music for those
desiring to dance.
After lunch, Mr.. Cowie, the golf
instructor who is working very faith
fully to help build up the golf club,
gave an exhibition in driving which
was greatly enjoyed by all those pres
ent. He very easily ranks among
the best players in the South and
the Brunswick players can count
themselves fortunate in being able
10 obtain instruction from him

tance-Many Armed Guards are on
Duty.

Torras, La, April 26.-The Missis-
sippi river levees in this section are
W1thstanding the tremendous strain
of rising floods remarkably well. Not
since the levee system was estab-
lished in Louisiana has such a fight
been made against the unusual rise
in the waters surging down from the
North.
The levees for miles fairly bristle
with guns carried by guards close
enough at times to hail each other.
Each guard carries a lantern at night,
and myriad lights line the river banks
from sunset to daybreak. N ne but
inspectors are allowed to approach
the levees after nightfal, and then
not until they are recognized. The
greatest volume of water on record is
piling up against the stretch of the
levees along this division of the Mis-
sissiDpi river, Old River, Red and
the Atchafalaya, and it is regarded as
the most severe test the banks have
withstood since they were thrown up
years ago.
Millions of winged ants forced
from swamps by the overflow are
making life miserable for unprotected
guards and laborers on the levees.

charged violation of a gentlemen S
agreement by which they declared
the Roosevelt managers had assured
them that the delegates t-large
would be uninstructed.
Governor Hadley asserted he had
not been a party to any socaIled
'genflemen's agreement"
The governor asserted Throughout
the bitter fight which preceded the
the formal opening of the convention
he mad refused to attempt to deliver
the votes Of Roosevelt delegates on
any proposition, Hadley is one Of the
delegates t-large.
Nedringhaus Elected.
AS rational committeeman from
Missouri to succeed Charles Nagel
secretary of commerce and labor, the
