One of the big problems of the lum-
Der industry is the more complete use
of the timber felled for manufacturing
into lumber. In spite of the adoption
of greatly improved methods, there is
still an enormous waste in numbering,

wasted.

TOWN OF V|DALA
IS WATER THREATENED
eAAt i44

Natchea, Miss, Feb. 22.-Back water
from the Red riy q reached the out
akirts of Vidalia today, forcing the
! closing of the gaps in the protection
levee around the town which have
! been kept open for drainage of seep-
age water. With the water from the
Buck Ridge crevasse now within three
or four miles of Vidalia, the town will
soon be surrounded and COncOrdia
parish will, in the next few days, be
entirely inundated. The protection
levee around the town of Vidalia has
been strengthened and it is believed
that the water will be kept out OF the
town.
The crevasse water is now running
over the private levees protecting Mel
wood, EnOla, Burns and OakwOod plan
tations, located about five miles north
of Waterproof. The four plantations
embrace an area of about 10000 acres
and will be flooded within the next
few days. The negro tenants and
most Of the stock were moved today
and small fiat boats furnished the
others who will remain on the planta-
tons as long as possible.
Altogether, there are now 600 negro
refugees and over 100 white planters
with their families in Natchez, with
the number increasing daily. The ne
groes are scattered in different parts
of the city. Some have obtained work
and the local relief committee is issu-
ing rations to the women and children.
The white planters have rented houses
and will remain with their families
until the water recedes.
AIlege Unfair Prices.
1t has been reported that the rail
roads west of the river and the ferry,
have been charging eXorbitant prices
to refugees for bringing their cattle
and stock to Natchez. This, however,
is Indignantly denied by both the rail
road and the local ferry, while on the
other hand. the Iron Mountain system
has transported free of charge all refu-
gee stock when not being moved for
selling purposes. When not able to
pay transportation, Capt. McNeely, OF
the ferry boat, has handled in many
instances cattle II longing to the poor
est classes absolutely free.
]. B. Harrison. prominent planter
of Tensas parish, today made an ur-
gent appeal to C. r. Byrnes in behalf
of number of negro families residing
in the upper portion of Gencordia and
Pensas parishes. Mr.. Harrison states
that they are in deplorable condition
and asks that the Natchez flood relief
committee with the federal authorities
arrange some way of reaching then
and render assistance by light draugh1
boats.
