OUR FRIEND OLD TIMER"


Dear Editor:-HRving listened to
the speeches and read the various ar
ticles bearing on the relief of the
overfowed district, the writer would
ask q little more information on the
subject. He freely admits his beliefs
that the enforcement Of the Missis-
sippi and the Atehafalaya would give
the desired relief. The Atchafalaya
can handle all the water that comes
down Red and its various tributaries,
hut what effect will this have on that
portion Of Concordia fronting on the
Mississippi river and on the levees
from Red River to New Orleans? It
is stated that one-third of the water
passing Natchez now goes up Old
River to the Atchafalaya. With the
rivers divorced, this water must 60 to
the Gulf past New Orleans. We are
told this win give an increased cur
rent and the channel viii be washed
out and deepened from Red River
to New Orleans--but win this occur
in one year or two, or viii it be
gradual While the channel is
washing out and deepening will not
The water level be raised above Red
River as well as from Red to New
Orleans?
The writer has forgotten how
many gallons Of water pass Natchez
per second, when the river is 81 feet
at Vicksburg, but you may be sure
that it Is q whole lot, and to send
ALL that water past New Orleans
instead Of the two-thirds now going
past the mouth Of Red, must have
some effect on the water level be-
fore the channel washes out and
deepens.
The writer has been told that the
building Of the levee in Cowpen
Bend at Giles, raised the water level
at Gibson's Landing " feet and
holding all the water in the MisEis-
sippi by closing the Red may raise the
level above that point. The safety
Of the overhowed district win de-
pend entirely upon the integrity Of
the levees from Vicksburg to the
mouth Of the Red, and any raise in
the water level between these does
not add to its safety.
The writer need hardly say he is
not an engineer or q scientific man.
He does not wish to be construed as
attempting TO put his judgment
against that Of our engineers, for he
has no judgment He has only had
experience. He has been in every
high water chat has occurred in Lou
isiana since 1858.
This is an untried problem. There
is no data from which can be figured
exactly what win happen when the
levee goes across Red River. The
operation may be successful but the
patient may die. However, the wri-
ter Of these few lines is willing to

COUNTY ACTION
ALSO PROMISED

Forced by the startling exposure in

gambling and special privileges existing
at the county Jail, county officials today
indicated a willingness to cooperate
with Federal Judge A. 3. Anderson in
getting decent and law abiding condi-
lions at the county Jail.
Judge James A. Collins Of the criminal
court, to whom the Marion county grand
jury Is charged under the law to report
conditions at all county institutions, said
an official reporter Of the criminal court
was taking today's evidence in federal
court

with a transcript Of the evidence of the

is presented to me / will refer 1t to the

This is taken to mean that Judge Col

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over rheumatism

piscoverer Tells Druggists Not to
Take a Cent Of Anyone's Money
Unless AIIenrhu Completely Ban
Ishes All Rheumatic Pains and
Twirges.
Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this terri
bic disease left him helpless and unable
to work.
He finally decided, after years of cease
less study, that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated impur-
tiles, commonly called uric acid depos-
rs. were dissolved in the joints and
muscles and expelled from the body.
with this idea in mind he consulted
musicians made experiments and finally
compounded q prescription that quickly
and completely banished every sign and
symptom of rheumatism from his sys-
sem.
He freely gave his discovery to others
who took it, with what might be called
marvellous success After years of urg-
ing he decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through the
newspapers. Haag Drug Company has
been appointed agent for Alenrhu in this
vicinity with the understanding that he
