Louisville, to arrange for a state con-
vention to select delegates to the ma
tional convention. X. G. Phillips, sec
Rotary OF the committee, was notified

Only one point of difference devel-
oped at the meeting Of the commit

1883 REFUGEES HERE.
Hickman Camp Grows.
Situation Well In Hand.

As the water goes down. local con
ditions. as a result of the high water,
begin to look brighter. This state
ment may sound somewhat paradox
ial in view of the fact that the num-
Der of refugees in Hickman has in
creased from POPS to 1858 in the past
ten days. but the fact is some of
these are beginning TO dispense and
are receiving employment. AS fast
as the water goes down. these peo-
pie can again return to their homes,
and Capt Elliott. in charge OF gov
eminent relief work. thinks there
will be a gradual decrease in the
tented city's population from now on.
A free employment agency was or
ened today az the Mayors office, and
this win be the means of giving
many of the idle something to do.
The crest of the flood has pass
ed this section and gone on south
ward. where many levee breaks and
similar disasters, as experienced here.
have been reported.
The government report on the num-
Der Of people being cared for in this
territory up to yesterday'is as fol
lows:
Hickman S.s5S people and 1900
heed Of stock.
Portageville refugees. 1852.
Charleston, 1900.
Columbus, 1900.
Dyersburg, 500.
Tiptonville, $500.
New Madrid, 1902.
Charlottesville, 700.
Wickliffe, 447.
This makes a total OF over 10000
people being looked after by the gov
eminent and local charities. At Wy
att Ark, smallpox has broken out
and they have over so cases TO look
after In the four camps at Hickman
only four cases of sickness is re-
ported. These are of minor import
ance, except a case of erysipelas
which has been rigidly guaranteed.
Lieut.. Morris of the American Red
Cross, says We are TO be congratu-
lated on the good health and sani-
tary conditions among our refugees.
If this very satisfactory state OF az
fairs is to continue, let the refugees
be impressed with this little precau-
tionary rule Of health-"Swat the fly
and boil the drinking water" Upon
their return TO the bottoms, they will
find the water In bad shape-full OF
typhoid-caused by many dead AMI
mails being in the river. II the germ
carrying fly and the contaminated wa
ter are properly looked after, II will
save many lives.
As a whole the situation is well IN
hand. Rev. Geiger. chairman OF the
local relief committee, the Red Cross
and the Federal government, county
city and state officers did excellent

in praise OF their efforts. The fact
is, Hickman camp is one of the best
regulated of the whole flooded dis
trict. Just how long 1t will be before
these people can return to their home
depends solely upon the going down
of the river, but 1t is likely that May
the 10th will find the ranks well
thinned out, If not completely so.
Business is beginning to pick up
and plans for reconstruction are be-
ing mapped out. Merchants, profes-
sional men and planters are work
ing together for the common cause
of rebuilding and re-establishing
those lines of business which have
suffered from the overflow.

HELEN KELLER, BLIND AND
DEAF, TODAY TO SING

BOSTON, Aug. 17.-Miss Helen Kei-
Ter, the famous blind, deaf and dumb
girl, has actually learned to sing.
1t was the wonderful girl herself
who announced it, and over the tele-
phone, at that.
Unceasing in her efforts to over
come her triple handicap, she has
been taking vocal lessons for some
time past, and tomorrow afternoon
she is to sing before the biological
congress, meeting at the Harvard
Medical school.
Moreover, she talked over the tele-
phone, and so clear was her enuncia
ton that the reporter did not realize
until told afterward that it was Miss
Keller herself he had been asking
questions of.
+ Over the wire came a voice low
but absolutely distinct, each syllable
pronounced perfectly. Asking of Miss
Keller's singing, he was answered
readily enough and in the third per
son. Suddenly the voice ceased and 3
louder voice announced:
Miss Keller doesn't feel like talk
ing any more
At one time deaf, blind and dumb
Miss Keller has steadily overcome one
after another of her handicaps. To
morrow she is to speak without ar
interpreter In her audience will bt
some of the most noted ear specialist!
of Europe and America.

action of the auxiliary meeting.
Bishop Johnson spoke of the greaf
service the women of the auxiliary
haye given, not only in raising funds
