Cotton Plant nan Victim of Sunday Murder, Buried
 In Brinkley

The body of Jack Foster, the Cotton Plant contractor, who
 was killed at McClelland Station north of Cotton Plant, on Sum- day morning last. by a man named Jim Hill, was brought to Brinkley Wednesday morning for interment in the Catholic Cemetery.
 Foster was a levee and drain age contractor and built lateral of the Piney District here. He together with R. B. Mcknight and a number of other Cotton Plant people had gone up to see the high water. Hill, it appears had formerly worked for Foster whom he claimed owed him $25. They had gone thro' a law suit over it and the court decided in favor of Foster. When Foster and Mcknight rode up to where Hill was working. Hill is reported to have said:
 Foster, this is where l worked and earned the $25 you owe me and this is where you have got to pay it." and with that drew a pistol. Hill reached over Meningitis horse and fired one shot in Fosters body, killing him instantly.
 The dead man leaves a wife and three small children and seems to have been well thought of by his townspeople.
 The man Hill had not been arrested on Wednesday morning tho it was reported that he had sent word to the officers that he would surrender if they would take him to Augusta to jail, evidently fearing the feeling against him by the friends of Foster.
 Father Henry Frommen con- ducted the services at the Catholic Church and the funeral was attended by a large number of Cotton Plant citizens who came over on the train.

More People Riding Now

Records of local railroad offices indicate that there has been a greater number of Little Rock people out of the city this summer than usual. Travel has been very heavy, especially to the summer resorts of the north, west and east.
 It's joke about there being no money and only the non- advertising, slow coach merchant, who is gradually loosing out really believes that there is no money in the country. The mail order houses and progress sive advertisers KNOW different.

How 1 Earned Ny First

"Yes, remember well how l earned my first dollar" said Judge c. F. Greenlee as he sat enjoying a good cigar such as the Judge enjoys burning" ]" l was a small boy of about 3 years of age and my father had let me ride behind him horseback as we went to visit my Uncle William. Uncle William persuaded my father to let me remain over for a few days and visit with them and asked me if I didn't want to do some work on the farm for him. I readily consented and he paid me for that work. That was the way I earned my first dollar. < Someone else next week.

stonding the break that occurred in the White river levee near Georgetown and McClelland Wednesday afternoon at 3::3C o'clock.
 Among the many who will probably suffer heaviest should the overflow come as it is surely thought it will do. are Wm. Tait, of the Eden plantation. Elmo Clancy, G. w. Grisham, of the Greenlee place, J. H. Simpson & Son and J. H. Miley. The last two will probably suffer most seriously as they will no doubt loose practically all of their sweet potatoes which will run around the 5000 to7, ,OO0 bushels mark for each of these growers.
 The loss around Clarendon and south of Holly Grove it is thought will be heavy tho it is difficult to figure just how great it will be. The Government Guaqe Keeper has predicted that it will reach 37 feet at Clarendon tho many who are competent to judge say that this can not be.
 Levees protecting Clarendon can stand 38 to 39 feet, so they report. The break at George town Wednesday afternoon will undoubtedly serve to dimish the predicted 37 feet on the Claren- don guage as the water will spread out over hundreds of square miles of bottom lands.
 The latest report on water will be found at head of local column on page 3.

FROM STORM SWEPT CITY
Liest. Jones Writes of Ex. perience in Horrible Gal.
 weston Storm

Among those who suffered the
 greatest anxiety in Brinkley during the terrific Galveston
 hurricane last week, was Mrs. c. C. Jones and children, who are at the home of her father. Mir. J. T. Black on South Main Street. The husband, Lieut.. c. c. Jones,
 was stationed at Galveston with the big body of American soldiers. Lieut.. Jones was off on a furlough and spent two months vacation in Brinkley re- turning to the Regiment only a few weeks ago but Mrs. Jones and the children remained in Brinkley. For several days after the storm Mrs. Jones was unable to get any word from her husband. However she was made happy by a telegram an- nouncing his safety and on Sat- urday received the first letter from him.
 The storm hit us good and strong about 8 p. m. the 16th and continued it's fury until about ' a. m the 17th. It reach ed it's heigth about 1 a. m. when, the wind reached a steady velocity of 12O miles and was puffy at times to 130 and 40 miles per hour. At 8 o'clock we got orders from Brigade Head quarters to move into the strong concrete buildings of the Coast Art. Garrison. Most of the officers were out of camp. espec- ially those with families in town. There were only 3 officers of the first Brigade in camp, so went and got the men of the Band LA. 6 B. Co.'S out and safely in the buildings before l started for one of them myself. l was blown clear off of my feet 3 times before I reached the Q. M. building and 1 crawled the last yards or so on my belly. l start ed out with sicker on, sweater. brooches. leggins. hat. etc, but when I arrived there wasn't enough slicker or hat to cloth a mosquito, my sweater was full of sand, mud. shells and splinters. had both hands quite severly hurt but they are O. K. now. my fingers were all bleeding and nails torn off from scratching gravel and bucking the wind. Stood up all night in the storm door of the 0. M. building. At one time the water was 4 it. deep in the road near my tent. Our camp is a wreck. Only a | few of the officers tents (S in fact) standing. My tent was was one to stand and also Capt. Anderson's and Alleson's. l superintended the construction and erection of mine and Ander- sons tents.
 Our new club is a thing Of the past.
 Rock as large as hog heads and logs from 3 to 5 it. in diameter and 40 it. long can be seen all over the camp, blown and wash- ed in oyer the sea wall.
 The sea wall still stands but most of the boulevard has dis appeared. What was once the boulevard is now a ravine from IF to % feet deep. All the bath houses on the beach are gone. There is a big masted schooner 5OJ yards from the sea near the Engineers camp all broken up. Her crew was saved by soldiers.
 We are now living on the transports in the harbor. the 4th and Eth on the Buford, the 18th & 18th on the Fitzpatrick. The Nc Clelland is high and dry on Pilot Island.
 It is awful but am so thank. ful Pm here and l thanked myself a thousand times the last 3 days that for once you and the kiddie' were not with me. Must stop ane mail this as they are going.

FINE SPIRIT SHOWN Brinkley Citizens Help Their Fellow Towns. man and Neighbor Save His Crop
 From High
 Water

Sald ii. G. MlIcnell, the cleVer Cotton Belt agent as he passed down the street Tuesday, Tets get together and go out to Elmo Chaney's farm this afternoon and help him save his corn crop from the flood that is sweeping down the river"' No sooner said than agreed and at 12::30 o'clock a big wagon load of men, young and cid dressed in their work clothes and armed with corn knives were loaded into a big two horse wagon and were headed for the Benyou bottom 6 miles of Brinkley.
 The corn was cut and hauled to high ground and thus the friendly acts of our clever citi- zens will no doubt save for MT. Clancy many hundreds f dollars worth of corn.
 The overflow water had not showed up in the bottoms last night but it is expected to reach there today and will no doubt cover hundreds of acres of Mir. Chaney's crop.
