levee disappeared into the swirling cur
rent of the Mississippi river 80 miles
above here yesterday. but the United

effect that refugees were arriving there
every day and that the situation at
these points was worse than ever. He

that territory. Two thousand FIVE hun
bred persons were fed at those places
yesterday.
A telegram received by the officer
from Breaux Bridge, which read:
Please rush rations, and in sending
them please bear in mind that the peo-
Pile in general prefer meat and grits.
They can dispense with molasses, cof-
fee and sugar; more meat and grits
is what they want. They don't like
corn meal"
Two boats returning from Pierre
Parte district brought in 7S1 head of
cattle and % families.
The New orleans relief committee
intends to take up the matter of fur
nishing seed for the farmers to enable
them to make late crops when -he
crevasse waters recede. There are
about five carloads of clothing and bed
ding at the headquarters of the COM
mittee here ready for shipment when
needed. All appeals are answered
promptly and all orders so far re-
ceived have been filed.

Mr.. Roosevelt is the only Republican
candidate who has had courage enough

has dared to denounce the way by which
Mr.. Lorimer reached the senate. In my

1t was corrupt Democratic votes in

CORNELIA, Ga, May A.-Two great
highways, one running from Greenville,

finally ending in Peachtree road, At
lanta, and the other connecting Cornelia,
Ca, with Asheville, n. c., after touch
Ing such picturesque spots as Tallulah

These projects, which have already
been well planned and are warmly ad-
vocated by the citizens along the pro-
posed routes, will be furthered at a
great meeting which will be held at
Cornelia. Ca, Tuesday morning. May
Is, under the auspices of the Haber-
sham County Good Roads association.
All who are interested are invited to
attend the convention, at which it is
hoped definite steps will be taken to-
ward making the plans actualities.
The route first mentioned will pass
through the towns of Toccoa. Mount
Airy, Cornelia, Baldwin, Alto, Lula,
Gainesville and Norcross. 1t is urged
as the logical route for the New York
and Atlanta national auto highway on
account of its being, for a great part
of the way, on the crest of the ridge
dividing the waters of the ocean and
the gulf, affording tourists not only
the scenic route of all this section, but
by far the safest route, eliminating at
least six rivers. One of it's strong
points is that it will have constant
connection with the telephone, telegraph
and the Southern railway.
