SO terrific" said Thompson, that a mum
Der OF us talked together and agreed
not to 90 back on the Titanic. WI sim

further inland they find much distress
aud suffering. On the Jacobs and Kuhn
places, twelve miles or more inland. the
water is up almost 10 the tops Of the
houses and the people have gathered in
gins and other pIaces. According to a
report which reached here some OF these
people have not had anything to eat
since they were driven from home.
Around Skene, six miles from Boyle, on
the Peayine railroad, alarming news was
received. This ia a settlement Of q hun
bred or more Northern white people, who
came 10 this county within the past few
years and did not know much about
floods. Then, too, it was supposed that
Skene was too far north to get much
water and they were caught there az UNI

and telephone messages declared that if
they were not rescued within twenty
four hours many would be drowned.

STATE is GOING E
Various Communities Show That They
Are Prospering.

Jackson.-As an evidence OF improve
ment and progress in Mississippi, the
city OF Tupelo is preparing to issue $780,
900 for the work of starting street paw
ing in that city. 1t is shown that un-
der the expensive old system of trying
to keep the dirt streets in repair, it has
cost Tupelo $12,444.39, and the streets
are not in a permanent condition at all.
The citizens have come to the conclu-
sion that paving is cheapest in the end,
and that $6,222 IA year spent on interest
to pay for n bond issue would be more
satisfactory all around, and it would be
cheaper in the long run TO have the
paved streets.
Brooksyille, in Noxubee county, an
nounces an issue OF $500 in bonds for
the .purpoes of installing a water works
system, and Jones county is announcing
an issue Of $4,000 ) per cent bonds for
the purpose OF building an agricultural
high school for the county, which will
be used in addition to the county tax in
giving a first-class agricultural high
school.

COULD FLOAT BATTLESHIP.
Rainfall at Biloxi Would Supply Sufi-
cient Quantity.

Hiloxi.-An enterprising BiloXian with
a turn for figures has doped it out that
ONO day last week when the government
recorder reported Il rainfall Of 5.72 inches,
theTe were 97,+1j gallons approximately,
~ in round number 100, 900 gallons of
water that fell on every acre Of ground.
That is ONE water, and it can be
SEGA that after already having heavy
ralHs, the soaked earth had a hard time
to absorb it all. The rivers and creeks
were already O~Verflowed, as were the
swamp lands. That was a number of
DAYS ago and the rains continue, so it
can readily be seen what must be the
condition Of the ground at present.
IL appears that if all the volume of
Wster that has fallen in Biloxi were
concentrated above ground on one or two
aTes it would be an easy matter to
float a battleship on Howard avenue.
