Backwater from Hymelia
Causing Much Damage.

The water pours unrestrained through
the HymeGa crevasse, now over half
mile in width. After vain attempt to
close the break was made, the planters
found strong fight awaited them to
hold back the water encroaching upon
their fields. Protection levees were built
where none existed and expensive pump
ing machinery installed in haste. The
water. however, is well up against the
1884 levees and the Columbia planta-
ton is still holding out fairly well. The
protection levees on Evergreen and Gar
roll plantations were abandoned IN the
rear and moved nearer in.
There hundreds Of acres of splendid
cane, corn and rice were given up to the
food. Church Place, Make and Gold
Mine levees are intact, the pumps work.
ing night and day to relieve the field OF
water from rain and seepage.
Only email fraction Of the acreage
under cultivation will be saved on these
plantations.
The protection levee, erected by
Messrs. Berthelot and Burch, at Bonnet
Care Point, has been the means OF saw
ing thousand acres OF land and deter.
ring the water from the yards OF over
fifty family. Lands that were primarily
under water are now dry and planting
operati . resumed. Families have re-
turned to homes abandoned the day
following the break.
There win be no grinding this fall al
the four sugar factories on the right
bank in this parish, for should more
cane be saved than is required for seed
purposes on the protected plantations
these will be distributed to the smaller
planters who have lost everything.
The loss sustained is appalling, ano
still the back water continues to risk
several inches daily. The scene is one o.
desolation indescribable and misery ane
want will follow in its wake.

BERTHELOT SCHOOL.

The HYmelia Break caused the two
lower rooms Of this school to be dis
missed prior to the time scheduled.
1t was not until due consideration Of
the record Of each child by each teacher,
that the conclusion expressed in each
report was reached. The Berthelot School
has closed its best school year in its past
history.
More punctual, sincere and harder
work has been done than the year pre-.
vious by both pupils and teachers. This
enabled the teachers to grade the pupils
more fairly and squarely.
Each child expressed afeeling of sor.
row at the closing of the school. 1t
seemed that the school had become q
part Of them just as their original home.
This speaks well indeed for the children
and their parents ought to feel proud ol
them.
wish to thank all patrons for the CO,
operation rendered. Remember that il
is only through wise and sincere co.
operation with the teachers that the best
results for the future welfare OF youl
dear children can be attained.
All records are filed in the Register
Books ready for use when school shall
reopen.
These books shall be locked in q SAT,

ARKANSAS WON'T
 BE INSTRUCTED
MISTAKEN REPORT THAT CHAMP CLARK HAD CAPTURED THE
 STATE DELEGATION.
indications That Most of the Dele. gates as Individuals Are for liar
 mon for Presidential Choice.

The mistaken impression was ere ated after the conventions in the va rious counties last Saturday flat Champ Clark was about to capture the state delegation to the national democratic convention at Baltimore. Such is not the case, as it is appar- ent. on a more careful survey of the field, that Governor Harmon has real ly more strength among the delegates than Clark.
 However, there will probably be no instructed delegation, according to the best authority at hand from men at Little RorlS, working in the inter- est of the various candidates.
 Senator Toney, while working for uninstructed delegations, has made fight for Harmons friends to be ap- pointed as delegates to the state con vention and from the returns at hand it seems that Governor Harmons friends have completely swept the state and have carried practically as many counties as the other two put together And while it is certain that the state convention, which is to be held the first part of June at Little Rock, will not instruct dele ] gates to the national convention still 1t is almost equally sure that Arkan- sas will cast her vote for Governor Harmon on the first roll call Tle result Of the conventions demonstrates that this state is neither for Clark nor Wilson and that the people of Arkansas believe that Judson Harmon is the logical standard bearer for the party in 1912 and is the one man who carry our party to a complete tri- umph
 Senator Toney, when seen. said T am more than gratified at the result of today's county conventions through out the state. I nave heard from 90 per cent of the counties and We have carried practically as many counties as the Clark and Wilson forces com bined. Governor Harmons friends not only have the balance of power in this state, but in my judgment will have complete control of the state convention, and while am not in favor of sending an instructed delega- ton to Baltimore, still il is absolute. ly certain that sentiment in Arkan- sas, as demonstrated throughout the state today, is that Governor Harmon is the logical man to be nominated at Baltimore and that he will receive on the first ballot Arkansas solid delegation The result was not a surprise, as thousands of letters have come to me from democrats in every walk of life expressing the opinion that Governor Harmon can be elect, ed if nominated, and volunteering their aid and support in the coming contest to bring about the success of the Harmon movement in this state There is now little to be done except to see that no unfair advantage is taken in the state convention in fa- yor of the opposition to Governor liar mon and the result will be. as I have claimed from the first, that the nat ural sentiments of this state will de- mand and dictate the nomination of Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio as the next standard bearer of the demo. cratic party of this nation"
