GOVERNOR CJES
 TO RIVER FRONT
Futrell Will Be Prepared to Han dle Any Situation Arising
 From Break in LeveeS.
Special to Independent.

Opecldl to 1nQepenQSnI.
 Little Rock, April 4.-Acting Governor Futrell left Little Rock Thursday afternoon for his home in Paragould where he will spend a few days with his family. It is the intention of Acting Governor Futrell to go to the weak points in the Mis- sissippi river levees, which are only short distance from Para gould, and assist in the work at the front. In case of a break he will be on the scene to direct the relief work in conjunction with the Army department.
 A. V. Smith, private secretary to Acting Goveror Futrell, is in touch with Acting Governor ev- cry few hours, and is prepared to look after the flood situation from this end.
 Realizing that the situation must be cared for in a systemat- ic man, 1T, if a flood occurs, Act ing Governor Futrell has ap- pointed a leading citizen in ev- cry town of any size in the dis trict liable to be affected by the breaking of the levees, upon whom he willdepend for reports. He has asked them, in case of a break in the levee to make Q careful, but speedy estimate of the supplies needed,and commun- icate with the office of the gov ernor by long distance telephone at once.. When such reports are received Acting Governor Flu trell will have requisition made upon the government for what assistance is needed. The Act ing Governor requests the citl- zens to allow matters to be han dled in this manner, and thus prevent a large number of inac- curate and deceptive messages l being sent to the War depart ment by well meaning, but med ding and unauthorized persons. 1 The following are the persons appointed by Acting Governor Futrell to look after the situa- tion in their vicinity: Marion Hazel, Marked Tree; William Craddock, Lake City; W. l. Lane, Jonesboro; J. c. Sud- berry, Blytheville; w. J. Lamb, Osceola; J. w. Spann, LuXora; R.. E. Lee Wilson, Wilson; Louis Barton, Marion; F. w. DeRossitt, Forrest City; J. T.. Robertson, Marianna; John Ike Moore, Helena.
 Associate Justice Smith of the Supreme court, a native of Crit enden county, who has large property interests in East Ark ansas, is assisting Private Secre- tary Smith holding down the flood situation in Little Rock.

Organize Sons Of Veterans.

A movement is on foot among the sons of our Confederate vet erans in this city to organize a club or association composed on- ly of the sons of the fathers who wore the gray during our civil war. Such an organization cer- tainly in this city would no doubt have a big membership for there are sons a-plenty who would rally to the cause and do credit any time to the valiant father before him.
 The cause of the old South will never down as long as they take up the work to perpetuate the memory of our fathers and forefathers.
 Dr. L. E. Willis is prominent ly mentioned as commander if an organization should be per fected, and with such sons as Judge Scarborough, Judge Boyce, Robinson Topp and scores of others to help, some fine pro- grams could be arranged and meetings made interesting to all.
