Little Rock, Ark, March 1.-two
senators laid claim to the office of gov
ernor of Arkansas Thursday, each es-
tablished office at the capital and as
a result the affairs of the state are in
a tangle which it seems only the
courts can unravel. The resignation
of Governor Joe T. Robinson last Sat
urday to assume the duties of United
States senator, to which office he was
elected by the legislature, brought
about the muddle. The Arkansas con-
stitution does not provide for a lieu
tenant governor, but in the event Of
the resignation of the governor the
president of the senate succeeds to the
office temporarily. Last Saturday
William F. Oldham, brother-in-law Of
Governor Robinson, held this office,
and when the governor resigned Old
ham took possession of the governors
office. Monday the senate elected
Senator John NJ. Futrell, president
pro tempore, to act as lieutenant gov

down pours since last Sunday have put
a stop to farming operations in nearly
all parts of Mississippi, and the out
look is beginning to assume a serious
aspect.
Rivers, creeks and all small streams
are out of their banks, and lowlands
adjacent are overflowed, in some in
stances the surplus waters covering
a wide area, and virtually destroying
all early crop preparations.
Pearl river has reached the SO-fcot
stage at this point, and will go three
or four feet higher by Sunday. The
tortuous stream is on a regular spring
rampage, and the backwaters will in
undate the state fair grounds within
the next day or so.
The total precipitation since Sunday
at this point has been over six inches,
and in some of the southern counties
it has been still heavier.
Thus far railroad traffic has not
been cut off at any point, but many
trains are running with extreme eau
ton, owing to soft tracks.
