FLOODS PARALYZE
RAILROAD TRAFFIC
All Main Line Trains on Iron
Mountain Are Being Detoured
Through Paragould.

| Paragould is on the railroad map
with both feet just at this time.
On account of the washouts on
the main line of the Iron Mountain
all trains are being detoured
through this city from both the
north and south.
Poplar Bluff, the division point
between Little Rock and St. Louis.
has temporarily lost it's prestige be-
cause it is on a section of the main
dine that is cut off by the high wa
ters. All crews, both passenger
and freight, change in Paragould.
The result is the city is filled with
railroad men and the Cotton Belt
and Iron Mountain lines are crowd
ed with passenger and freight
trains.
Trains out of St. Louis are COM
ing out on the Illinois division of
the Iron Mountain to Illmo, where
they take the Cotton Belt road to
Paragould. From here they go to
Wynne, then to Bald Knob where
they again get the main line for
Little Rock and points south.
! The main line between Poplar
Bluff and Pied mont is out of COM
mission on account of the overflow
from Black river. The Cairo branch
between Poplar Bluff and Dexter is
also under water from the Black
river. The Belmont branch from
Bismark to Delta has been damag-
| ed by washouts, and the main line
of the Iron Mountain in the vicini-
| ty of Newport is under water from
the White river overflow.
Lee Wallace, trainmaster on this
division of the Iron Mountain, spent
the forenoon in Paragould straight
ening out the tangled mass of traf-
fic. Mr.. Wallace said this is the
worst flood the Iron Mountain has
had to contend with in many years.
In fact, sections of track never be-
fore under water are now inundat-
ed There is no way of estimat-
ing the damage. The White river
floods are now at their worst. Yes
terday afternoon the fast mail train
on the Iron Mountain got almost
to Newport and ran into the deep
overflow from the White river.
The train had to back up to Kno-
bel and come down over the Knobel
and Helena branch to Wynne. This
division of the Iron Mountain has
not suffered any yet, but it is not
known how soon the st. Francis
and L'Anguille may get on ramp
ages and put sections Of the Helena
and Knobel division out of COM
mission

WANT PRIMARY in
SEPTEMBER, 1916
Number of Candidates Meet and
Pass Motion to Request Com
mittee to Fix Date.
iFrom Saturdays Daily Press

iFrom Saturdays Daily Press.)
Between eighteen and twenty
candidates for the several county
offices held a meeting at the court
house this afternoon and unani-
mously passed a motion requesting
the county central committee to
set the date for the county pri-
mary between September l and
20, 1916. While nc request was
made for an early meeting of the
central committee, many of the
candidates thought the committee
ought to meet at an early date and
settle the matter so all the candi-
dates would know how to shape
their affairs for the coming cam
paign.
At the meeting this afternoon
there developed no sentiment in
favor of holding the county pri-
mary this fall. On the contrary
those who expressed themselves
thought the committee ought to set
the date for the fall of 1916, or
if in the judgment of the commit
tee that time was not satisfactory
then the county primary should be
held in March with the state pri-
mary.
Those who signed the request to
the central committee were as
follows: S.W. Atchison, A. Pillow,
J. C. Higgins, A. ID. Jackson, G.
Benton, A. D. Grayson, R. M.
Cothren, w w. Yopp, ]. B. Farrell,
L. C Hendrax, c. D. Morrice, c. P.
Stepp, ]. c. Honey, E. E. Cox,
j. F. Fitzgerald and w. G. Ryan.
Several otn"r candidates who voted
for the motion left the room before
the motion was reduced to writing
and an opportunity given to sign
it.
Indications are there will be a
bumper crop of candidates in the
field for the contested county Of
fices.
1t is not expected the second
term officials will have opposition,
at least none has developed against
Fred Watson, circuit clerk; Tom
Lloyd, treasurer; w. W. Barron,
surveyor; Dee McHaney, coroner.
Those who are either avowed or
tentative candidates for the con-
tested offices are a sfollows:

Tyner and John C. Honey.

ments. His friends expect him to
be in the race either for county
Judge or representative.

CANDIDATES SPLIT
ON ELECTION DATE
Some Favor Holding Primary in
Fall of 1916, While Others Want
it Held in 1915.

Candidates for the democratic
nomination for the several offices
in Greene county cannot agree
among themselves on the time for
holding the primary election, and
as consequence two petitions are
out and are being signed by the
candidates. One asks the county
central committee to set the cleo
ton between September 1 and 20,
1916, while the other asks for an
election this fall.
1t develops that the meeting held
at the court house Saturday after
noon was called by those favoring
three or four candidates desiring
an early primary were present at
the meeting while fifteen or twenty
favoring a 1916 primary attended a
resolution asking the central cam
mittee to set the date for the fall
of 1916 was unanimously passed.
Another Petition
In Circulation
Yesterday it became known an
other petition had been in circula-
ton asking the committee to call
the election this fall. Those favor
ing an early primary say they dc
not believe the committee will or
der an election for the fall of 1916,
and as they are opposed to win
ter campaign they think it best to
attempt to get the election held this
fall in advance of the state primary
in March. Those opposed to an
early primary insist it is not right
to hold a primary more than a year
in advance of the general election
in November, 1916. They further
contend it gives some candidates a
decided advantage over others; that
those who have campaigned the
county before and have their
strenth developed ought not to in
sist on a primary at this time when
new candidates who have never be-
fore canvassed the county would be
pressed for time and opportunity to
interview the voters.
Replying to this argument those
favoring an early primary say they
are seeking no advantages; that
they want the date fixed far enough
in the future that every candidate
will be given ample time to thor
oughly cover the county and see the
voters.
