AND ON HOUSE TOPS.
Government Sends Relief Boats and
Two Hundred and Fifty Thous-
and RatiOns for Sufferers.

NO'CThiheht oenuS Rellef Boats and
Two Hundred and Fifty Thous-
and RatiOns for Sufferers.
VICKSBURG, Miss.-The most in
tense suffering and distress in the
flooded district of the lower Missis-
sippi is today centered in the Bogue
Phalia country, in the vicinity of
Napanee, Choctaw and Elizabeth. in
northwestern Mississippi, a great
portion of which is now inundated
by the waters of the Beulah Gre
vase.
The water ranges in depths from
three to fifteen feet, and hundreds
are reported still marooned on
knobs, house tops and in trees. Res
cue parties are out constantly, ven
turing twelve and fifteen miles from
the river, bringing in refugees. The
United States army officials are now
feeding seventy thousand homeless
persons, drawn from Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Mississippi, and concen-
trated in refugee camps.
Negroes Great Sufferers.
1t is estimated that five hundred
negroes are lodged in box cars at
Stoneville, Miss, with nothing to
subsist upon. An effort is to be
made to reach them with supplies
today. Two hundred negroes res
cued in the vicinity of Benoit yes
terday were carried to Greenville
and supplied with rations.
All the fiood-stricken sufferers
around Benoit are in places of safe
ty, but in destitute condition with
scanty food supplies. No confrma-
ton of the report that persons were
drowned near Benoit yesterday has
been received.
The government relief boats, the
King and Winoka, with two hundred
and fifty thousand rations, arrived in
Greenville, Miss, yesterday. A por-
ton of these rations were sent to

.BAPTISTS WILL SOON GATHER .
THE 9TH ANNUAL CONVENTION
TO, BE HELD IN OKLAHOMA.
Important Question Growing Out of
Situation in New Mexico to Be
Settled. Big Building Fund.

0CIJlcu' Dig DulIOIluS II Uuus
The fifty-seyenth session of the
Southern Baptist Convention, which
represents approximately $4,000
churches and 2,50O,O0O members,
will be held in Oklahoma City May
1919.
Among the principal matters of
interest which the convention will
be called upon to consider will be
the report of a joint committee of
Northern and Southern Baptists
looking to the establishment Of GER
tain principles of comfy between the
two bodies. The particular situation
which brought about the appoint
ment of the committee was the COM
ing over of large proportion of the
Baptists Of New Mexico from align
ment with the northern wing of the
denomination to the Southern body.
This action was taken, it is stated,
on account of questions of policy
which arose among the New Mexico
Baptists. Leaders of the Southern
Baptists assert their belief that all
of the Baptist churches in New Mex
leo eventually will belong to the
Southern body.
An effort will be made at the con-
vention to provide for raising large
church building fund by the home
mission board and to enlarge greatly
the efforts of the denomination for
training and developing backward
churches in various sections of the
South.

CANDIDATES AND DELEGATES
CLARK LEADS DEMOCRATIC OPP
PONENTS AND TAFT REPUBS.
Wilson, With Big State of PennsyI-
vania to His Credit, Only Seven
teen Ahead of Underwood.

UGH AIIGdu OF underwood
1t is now quite clear that the sup
porters sof Governor Wilson have
been claiming too much for him.
1t is certain that he will not 20 to
the Baltimore convention with two
thirds of the delegates. In fact, it
is pretty safe prediction that he
will not have majority. 1t may
be that he will not even lead in the
number of delegates.
The New York Herald, that is
endeavoring to keep an impartial
record of the delegates as the dis
tricts and states act, gives the situa-
ton at the close of last week as fol-
lows: Clark 40, Wilson 118, I'm
derwood 101, Marshall 80, and Har-
mon 4.
The convention will be composed
of 1904 delegates. 1t REQUIRES two
thirds to nominate-729. Already
against Governor Wilson there are
275. 1t is nonsense to say that Mr..
Clark, Mr.. Underwood and Governor
Harmon will not get 100 more dele
gates, and if they do get that number
Governor Wilson will not have two
thirds majority.
1t would be much safer to say that
between them the other candidates
will have two-thirds of the dele
gates than that Governor Wilson
will have two-thirds. AS a matter
of fact, 1t is difficult to see where
Governor Wilson will get much more
than a third of the delegates. if that
many. If he gets no more than a
third he will stand a very slight
chance Of getting the nomination.
The Republican Candidates.
The Taft forces are worried and
the Roosevelt whoopers-up are
claiming the universe, but the for
mer are still far in the lead Even
after illinois, Pennsylvania, Con-
necticut, Nebraska, Oregon and
North Carolina were heard from the
figures read: Tart 338, Roosevelt
239, LaFollette SO, Cummins 4. In
the end these figures may be modi-
fed, for many delegates are claimed
by both sides, but if Taft can hold
his 38S delegates he will need to
gain only 149.

AHA IS RUNNING
FOR SUPERVISOR

William AHA, who was a member
of the first Board of Supervisors of
the municipality, is running as an in
dependent candidate for the same Of
flee this year. He failed to secure
the nomination at the Republican con-
vention, although assured in advance
of large amount of support, as he
had also failed in the convention of
two years ago. Since the late con-
vention, however, AHA has been busy
drumming up support to run on his
own account, and now his nomination
paper is ready to be filed with nearly
double the number of signatures OF
voters required. His appearance in
the arena is liable to cause a loss of
votes to some of the regular Repub-
lican candidates, as he has many
friends and on the whole made a
good record while on the board.
