 JoR ARCHIBALD BUTT.

Florence, s. C., May 2, Although not on a campaign trip. President Taft made two short speeches in South Carolina today on his way to Washington from Augusta, Ga. He delivered the first at Sumpter from the rear platform of his private car, and the second at Florence. Large crowds greeted him at both places.
 The president preached prosperity and declared his opposition to doe trines that he said would destroy the prosperity if written into law.
 What we want is prosperity" said Mir. Taft at Sumpter We want qui (. the least disturbance, so that capi tai may be invested and all may en- joy plenty In South Carolina 1 have not always had the support that would make me believe it worth while to ask for your suffrage but I know there is strong sub-stratum il.

 There is feature of Mrs. Arm. strong's culinary and demonstration work which is of decided interest to every housewife who endeavors to keep the household expenses within a certain figure. The dishes prepared and demonstrated and the recipes given out are as we'll adapted to the household of the laboring man as to that of the family who has unlimited means. They mean good cookery, heathful and ap3etizing dishes at the minimum cost in money and trouble, and each and every article prepared will be of interest to all alike
 Judging from the interest now be- ing displayed in the coming event, the Sentinel-Record believes that Mrs. Armstrong will lecture each day to no less than 1000 housewives.
 Many merchants of the city have been seen personally with reference to their daily announcements of wares which go into the preparation of meals in the homes of Hot Springs and the response has been extreme ly liberal. It is possible that the Sen tinel-Record representatives may not be able to reach them all If such is the case, it is only necessary for the merchant to telephone the office and a representative will call and ex plain the plan by which they will be represented and will become part of this great demonstration
 Mrs. Armstrong will arrive in the city Saturday and will open the cooking school, with her assistants on Monday, May 6, at the Auditorium theater
 Every woman and girl in Hot Springs will want to be there.
 Mothers, bring your girls. It VII be their greatest opportunity to re ceive valuable instruction from one of the greatest cooks in the coun try. if not in the world.

 He denied he had in any way tried 10 influence Cottam and Bride. wireless operators, in regard to the send ng and receiving of information until the vessel had passed quarantine, when. with Mir. Marconi's consent. he had given wireless permission to Bride to sell his story.

Engineers Force of Several Thou. sand Workmen Unable to Stop the 5reak-Rains Soften the
 LeVees Near Baton Rouge.

Baton Rouge, La, May 5--The fiooo 1 situation in Central Louisiana is tho i most desperate since the huge vol ] ume of water began pouring down the Mississippi valley.
 The rent in the west levee line at Torras is widening, letting the wa ters of the big stream through to the rich sugar lands of Pointe Coupee Paris, the states big farm at Angola, on the west side of the riber. was flooded by a crevasse at noon today, weak spots are developing in the Grand Bay embankment, above Nor ganza, and conditions are threaten ening in Baton Rouge. In addition, steady rain has been falling, soft ening the already strained levees.
 It became apparent early today that the Torras crevasse with it's 12 hour start could not be stopped and the federal and state engineers turn ed from the constantly widening gap there to devote their labors to the almost hopeless task of saving re. maining levees where even greater damage might be done by crevasses,
 Captain c. o. Sherrill, chief of the federal engineers, freely admitted to- night the situation is alarming at sev- eral points south of the Red river | Captain Sherrill and force of sey ! erai thousand experienced workmec are laboring day and night now put they are facing greater odds thai ever before presented by floods il the lower Mississippi valley The.

 of keeping the west Ieyee line iron
 Baton Rouge south intact.
 Captain Sherrill arrived in BatoI Rouge tonight from the rorras ere vase with Governor Sanders ant Major Kerr, president of the stat, levee board. After hurried surve, l of the threatening situation along the water front, Captain Sherrill put force to work closing the cross levee from the river back to the hills | The water here is nearly two feet above the previous flood record and rising rapidly. At z o'clock tonight the flood was within 12 inches of the top of the sandbags which have been placed along the river levee protect ing Front street This levee may break at any time, but it would not flood the residential or main business portion of the city. The damage would be confined largely to the wholesale district.
 Although several hundred people were today removed from the terri tory flooded by the Torras break, hundreds of others are lining the 1 west bank of the river awaiting the arrival of boats to transport them to high land Appeals have been com ing in all day long for gasoline launches and small craft to assist in getting people out ofthe overflowed country south of Torras.
 The flood waters in the Athcafala va district today swept over the tracks of the Frisco railroad at Eli ott City, and the Texas and Pacific line is out of commission from Batch elor north to Torras, distance oi about IA miles.

 IN MUDDLE
REPUBLICAN MIxUP SEEMS TO HAVE PENETRATED SOUTH
 LAND LIKEWISE.
"Lily Whites" in Convention Split up and Name Two Sets of Delegates to the Convention at
 Chicago.

| Alexandria, La, May 2-The all ready badly muddled Louisiana re- publican political situation was given ] an added daub of coloring today when the state convention of the Lilly White" faction split up into two wings" and elected two sets of delegates to the national convention to be held in Chicago One wing laud- ed President Taft and elected six del egates at large, instructed to vote for the presidents renomination. The other wing adopted with the same unanimity resolutions endorsing Col onel Roosevelt and chose six promi- nent Louisiana republicans to go to Chicago and vote for the colonel to the last
 And yet there was harmony" in the convention and both "wings" in- sists that there was no bolt They simply agreed to disagree on the one question of whether proxies should be counted in the election of a tempo rary chairman. Both wings chose vice chairman and then commit tee agreed that the Taft wing should have the convention hall one hour after which the Roosevelt wing should 1 come in and transact business.
 
 The agreement was lived up to and the resolutions which the Roosevelt faction adopted endorsing Frank B. Williams, leader of the Taft wing as the real chairman of the state re- publican executive committee were no less laudatory of MT. Williams than were those adopted by his own wing
 The action of the convention toda, means that three different sets oi delegates will go to the Windy City convention from Louisiana and give the credentials committee there a 1 nice job to figure out which is 'regu. 1 lar The Black and tans" held a state convention in Alexandria last month and elected set of delegates for Taft. Each of the three sets lay claim to regularity" and they prom ise lively fight when all get to the big convention.
 The six delegates instructed to vote for Taft are:
 Frank B Williams of Patterson, Charles Godchaux of New Orleans, E. T. Miller of Mackland, Henry N. Pharr of Oliver J. F. Webb of Baton Rouge. and George Hathaway of New Orleans.
 This wing unanimously adopted resolutions endorsing President Taft.
 After the Taft wing retired from the hall, the supporters of Colonel Roosevelt entered and opened pro. ceedings with w. J Behan, former | postmaster at New Orleans, presid- ing as temporary chairman. The original roll and the committee on credentials "of the convention as q whole were adopted
 | Resolutions endorsing the candi- dacy of Colonel Roosevelt were adopt, ed and the following six delegates at large were elected and instructed to vote as unit for Roosevelt:
 Hugh s. Suthern of New Orleans w. J. Beehan of New Orleans, James Mcbride of TerreBonne, w. J. Wa guespeck of New Orleans, E. c. Thil berger of New Orleans. and A. J Armstrong of Shreveport
 The Roosevelt wing then adopted resolutions of allegiance to State Chairman Frank B. Williams of the republican state central committee Vice Chairman Beehan, and Secretary Tilberger, after which the convention adjourned
