MANY THOUSANDS
NEED ASSISTANCE
SITUATION IN FLOOD AREA GROWS
INCREASINGLY GRAVE.
In All These Half a Hundred Places
People Are Suffering as Result
of InundatiOn.

New Orleans, April 21-News from
the flooded area of the Mississippi
valley in Arkansas, Mississippi and
Louisiana continued today to be in
creasingly grave. Thousands of those
who were compelled to flee to higher
places when the yellow food invaded
their homes have been cared for, but
there are still many more who are in
imperative need of aid. AS the waters
continue on their destructive way
more appeals for help are being re-
ceived by those in charge of the re-
lief work.
1t is estimated there are so towns
and villages that have so far felt the
effects of the food Some places are
under from to Is feet of water, with
little prospects of an early recession.
Ten Known Dead.
Reports as to the loss of life differ.
Those know to have perished total
ten, all but one are negroes. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the list will be
much larger when the interior of the
affected district is penetrated by res
cue parties.
Conditions in the country overflow
ed by the Beulah, Mississippi, break
are extremely serious. High places in
Bolivar county never before inundated
are covered with three to four feet OF
water. All women and children in
that district have been taken to Green
vile and Vicksburg. Much relief
work remains to be done in that Sec
ton, as appeals for help from both
white and black inhabitants are con-
tinually being received at Vicksburg,
wher the headquarters of the relief
bureau are established.
BeuIah Break Disastrous.
At Nibletts, Miss, four miles south
of the Beulah crevasse, where some
alarm was felt for a portion of the
levee Saturday, a large force of men
is working day and night, and it is be-
lieved a break will be avoided.
Great damage has been done to
railroads running through the flooded
country.
The distribution of supplies to hun
dreds of victims marooned on planta-
tions and in settlements in the neigh
borhood of TaIlulah, La, began today.

BLEASE HAKES TWO SPEECHES.
Governor Addresses Crowds at Wood
ruff and EnOree.

Spartanburg, Apr 20.-After speak
ing at Woodruff and Enoree this af-
ternoon, Governor Cole. L. Blease re-
turned to the city and is spending the
night here. This is a change in his
plans, as he had intended returning to
Columbia from Laurens tonight.
Woodruff, one of the largest towns in
this section of the State, is "red hot"
politically, and the lines are more
forcibly drawn there than any other
section.
A tremendous throng greeted the
governor and every one was disap-
pointed. The Blease men hoped he
would wipe up the earth" with Jones,
and the Jones men wished the same
thing, but the governor made beau"
tiful little talk and not once did he al
lude to his opponent.
A large crowd greeted Governor
Blease at Enoree, likewise. He ap-
pealed to the voters for their support
and pointed to his record as sufficient
ground for their patronage.

the First Baptist church, of Columbia,
the handsome sum Of $1,000 on condi-
ton that the church raises $4,000. A
campaign for church purposes was be-
gun about ten days ago and the pros
poets are that $4,000 will be raised,
making the Carnegie donation avail
able. The objective amount of the
campaign, together with the single
donation of $1,000, will give the
church a total fund of $500, with
which to met obligations incurred for

UNCLE SAM PREPARING
FOR INTERVENTION?
PLANNED TO SEND U. S. WARSHIP
TO COAST OF MEXICO.
For Protection of Americans.-Presi'
dent Taft Expected to Dispatch
BattleShip, Probably the
Maryland, in Few Days.

Washington, April 2O.-President
Taft probably will send Warship
soon to the west coast of Mexico, to
enable Americans isolated in Sinalao
and other States to leave the disturb
ed districts. A State department an
nouncement tonight declared this ac-
ton likely, in view of the general anx-
iety for Americans in those localities.
State department officials pointed
out tonight that, with the suspension
of railroad communication and the
interruption of telegraph service,
American citizens on the west coast
of Mexico, especially at Los Mochas,
in Sinalao, where there are many
Americans, as well as in the vicinity
of Mazatlan, are isolated.
Causing Great Anxiety.
This fact together with many re-
ports Of increased lawlessness on the
west coast, is causing much anxiety
to Americans in the region affected
and their friends in the United States.
Many requests and expressions of
anxiety have reached the State depart
ment, and in order to obtain news%of
the Americans in the affected locali-
ties, President Taft, it is expected,
will send a vessel within a few days
to afford an opportunity to leave the
disturbed districts to those who may
wish to do so.
Sets a Precedent.
The sending of an American vessel
to the coast of Mexico sets prece-
dent in the presnt revolutionary dis
turbance, as heretofore the United
States navy has refrained from cruis-
ing in Mexican waters. A British YES
sci, however, has landed marines on
the west coast of Mexico, to enable
foreigners to escape the effects of a
threatened attack by rebels.
The armored cruiser Maryland is at
San Diego, CAL The gunboat York
town is en- route north from Guatemala
to- San Diego. The gunboat Vicks-
burg is at Panama. 1t is likely the
Maryland will be the vessel selected.

said to have been perpetrated upon a
young white woman by four white

According to the story, four white
men went to the home of white man,
one mile from Greer, about 11.30 or
12 o'clock Saturday night. The man
of the house was not at home, having
gone to Spartanburg to see sick
brother His wife and single woman
about 25 years of age, either a sister
or a sister-iD-law, were in the house.
The men are said to have forced an
entrance to the house. Their ap-
proaches were resented by the two
women and a lively struggle ensued.
One of the men is said to have
struck the married woman over the
head with "a lantern and felled her.
This woman is said to have recovered
from the blow and rushed out to the
house of a neig:hbor. In the meantime
the men took their departure. A boy
with shotgun responded to the wo-
mans cries for help and took up his
position at the house. Very soon the

then seized the young woman and
carried her to nearby patch of
woods, where they assaulted her.
