i tion. At o'clock the rain continued in torrents It means heavier floods to the Alabama river as the rain area has spread southward to Montgomery While the Alabama river continues to rise slowly at this point, it Is be- lieved that the crest of the flood will reach here today. The stage at 8 a. m. stood at 518; two-tenths below flood stage. Opposite Montgomery the Ala bama river is seven miles wide but there is very little current The flood damage proper in Montgomery is be- ing done by backwater.
 All other streams in this section of the state have fallen back into their banks and the Alabama is expected to begin falling by tonight.
 GEORGIA FLOODS RECEDE
 Atlanta, July 12.-Danger of further damage from floods to crops and other property in Georgia today was believed to be past. Rivers throughout the southwestern portion of the state are falling rapidly, according to bureau re- ports. Rivers in other sections began falling yesterday.
 There were no additional reports of deaths due to the flood. The list still stood at five.
 Railroads which suffered much from floods today were busily repairing tracks and trestles which were dam aged by the high waters. Many bridges of the Georgia, Florida and Alabama railroad and the Central of Georgia in. the southwestern part of the state last night were reported washedout, and traffic westward from Albany was sus- pended. In middle Georgia near Macon, the Dublin and Savannah railway was unable to operate on account Of wash outs.
 Reports from Savannah last night stated that the tobacco crop in Deca- tur county had been ruined, the dam age being conservatively estimated at $750,000.
