SCHEDULE SLOWLY
Being RESUMED

Jackson, Miss, April 3.-The Gulf &
Ship Island road, after three days of
experience with submerged tracks
and washouts, is getting its passenger
trains back to regular schedules. 1t
will be several days, however, before
trains on the system can keep up with
their time cards. At one place eight
miles of track were under water
A majority of the trains in and out
of Jackson have been from one to five
hours late for the past week, due
chiefly to soft tracks resulting from
the heavy rains. Two or three branch
lines of the Y. & NJ " road in the
delta are entirely out of commission
as a result of the overflow.

The places most seriously affected
Ly the Mississippi river flood are Hick-
.aan Ky, Memphis, Tenn, New Mad
rid, Mo. and Columbus, KY. The total
estimated damage to date is one mil
lion dollars. The number driven from
ONES eight to nine thousand. The
volume of water is six to ten feet
above the danger line between Cairo
and Arkansas City. The crest of the
food possibly will be reached in the
affected district between April fourth
I'D April eighth.
With four Mississippi river towns
seriously affected by invading waters
c-used by the greatest rise recorded
in the rivers history the flood situa-
tion today assumed more serious
aspects, in widespread distress, heavy
financial losses, impairment of busi-
ness facilities and crippled transpor-
tation.
Two thousand persons in the factory
district of Hickman Ky. are being
cared for by townspeople there at a
great personal sacrifice. The levee
on the Missouri side broke opposite
Hickman yesterday at Dorena. Near
ly a thousand residence of the com
munity were rescued, many from tops
of houses, and taken to Hickman.
From fourteen to twenty blocks is
the area covered by the flood in the
northern section of Memphis. More
than seven hundred persons have been
driven from homes. The water con
tinues to rise in Bayou Gayoso, the
small levee protecting. gave way Mon
day. The levee protecting the Mem
phis gas plant, gave way last nigh
and the plant is flooded.
In the vicinity of vicksburg the wa
ter is rapidly rising and farmers are
leaving the low lands, taking goods
and live stock with them. The cres
of the flood is yet to come. 1'-.,

53 ADDITIONS TO
BAPTIST CHURCH
Splendid Revival Services Have Re
suited in Much Good-Slneing
A Treat.

Large audiences still gather at the
First Baptist church There were five
additions yesterday, making fifty-three
in all. Fifteen have joined for bap-
tism at this church and two more at
other churches.
Some say that the music at the
church Sunday night was the finest
they ever heard in a church in this
City. Mr.. Babbitt is most excellent
choir leader His superior would not
be easy to find. He knows how to get
the people to sing. The music by his
quartette is exquisite. Some had
rather hear his junior class of some
seventy-five voices, than any other
part of the music. The orchestra
music is surprisingly fine. The trou-
BILE with most music of the kind is
that it is too loud, but this is most
admirably toned and especially sweet.
With such preaching and such singing
it is no wonder the services are so
largely attended and such an interest
IS manifested. Services 10 a. m. and
1870 p. m.

EASTER SALES AT
The Big STORES

The Easter sales at the important
stores always form an important fea-
ture of Easter time, and the store
news form one of the most interesting
parts of all the daily papers at Easter.
This is true of The News today. for
two big Easter Sales are advertised in
today's paper, that of O'Ferrall Bros.
and of the Calhoun Bankrupt Store.
While new goods and attractive prices
form the chief attraction of the O'Fer-
rail- advertisement, the announcement
that beautiful $500 hat is to be
given free to one of the customers will
doubtless prove an attraction to the
fair sex among the News readers.
The Calhoun Bankrupt Store has the
largest stock at present in the history
of the establishment, and the prices
quoted in today's ad have a special
bearing on the motto of the store,
Everything at less money than others
ask"

PAN AMERICAN Life
READY FOR BUSINESS

Probably many of the readers of The
News do not know that the largest
life insurance company ever organ
lied in the nation was launched last
year in the south and is financed and
differed by number of the south S
leading business men. This is the
Pan-American Life Insurance Co., with
headquarters in New Orleans. The
new company started business with
capital and surplus of one and three
quarter million dollars, more money
than any other life insurance company
ever started out with, Its stock-hold-
ers are largely in the south and among
our Pan-American neighbors and its
funds will help to develop the south,
while every dollar spent in premiums
for life insurance with the company
will be kept in the south.
The company has chosen Mr.. J. A.
Bishop, Of Hattiesburg, Director of
Agencies for Mississippi, and Mr..
Bishops past record leads his friends
to believe a wise choice has been
made. Mr.. Bishop is a native of the
south and has had fourteen years
active work in life insurance work as
the representative of big eastern COM
panies and was for two years the
largest personal writer of insurance
for the Mutual Life of New York, while
with the New York Life Insurance Co.
he was a member of the 100000 Club
and won a number of prizes from both
these companies. He was the princi-
pal organizer and large producer for
the Lamar Life Insurance Co.
Mr. Bishop has won a name for
square business dealing and by this
method of doing business wins friends
for any company he represents. This
reputation doubtless had much to dc
with the important appointment he
received from the new company. He
numbers his friends by the hundreds
in Mississippi and the Pan-American
has secured safe and valuable man
to direct its business in this state.

ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE
BLUNDER discovered

jackson, Miss, April 3.-Another
blunder by the Mississippi legislature
developed at the meeting of the Jack
son city council yesterday, and a
patient public is beginning to wonder
whether any of the statutes enacted
at the recent session will stand the
test of scrutiny.
The error just discovered is in the
Quin law amending the code chapter
on municipalities in reference to man.
ner of serving formal notices and max
ing assessments against property-own-
ers for street paving. The intent of
the law is admittedly good, as 1t
greatly exemplifies the system, but the
wrong sections are quoted The
measure applies to sections 3411 and
3412 when it should apply to sections
3415 and 3416, the former sections
having no reference whatever to
street paving assessments.
AS a result, municipalities will be
forced to follow the old law. When
the error was discovered. yesterday
the city council had an ordinance al
ready framed to carry out the pro-
visions of the new law, but the author,
Mr. Maxey, did not introduce it.
