Rescue Parties at Work.

Rescue parties were formed shortly after the break occurred, and they spent the day and most of last night aiding refugees in reaching high points.
 Owners of farms in the lower part of Phillips county say that the break near Georgetown will relieve the pres sure against the levees on the lower river and probably will insure the safe ty of crops and other property in that section
 Construction on the Whire river levee was begun in 1909 and completed in 1918 II cost approximately S1 1,5Oo, 00O Because of the depressed finan- cial condition of the land owners, due to the low prices received for their pro ducts last year. the federal government will be asked to assist in repairing the levee. Mir. Argo said over long distance telephone last night.
 It will be several weeks before the water will recede sufficiently for the lands to be retilled The water will gradually run off into Cache river, near Clarendon, and then into the White river.
 The lands affected by the overflow are distributed as follows; Woodruff county, 60,000 acres, Prairie county, 3O0O0 acres Monroe county, 10000 acres total of 10000 acres.-Ga- zette

 Mir. Utley said yesterday that in his opinion the penalty and requirements for license would obtain as long as the era was capable of being run, and that there corld be no evasion. If car owner should remove the engine from his ear simply for the phrpose of mak- ing it incapable for locOmotion, he still would be liable under the law for the penalties and license fees, If he should sell the engine from the ear, however. it would not then be an auto mobile in the meaning of the law and would not have to be licensed.

 The Christian education movement. having for is objective the training Of me nand women fo rthe highest type of service at home and abroad. in the re lgious. business and professional world, will reach climax May 29-June ]. when the great financial campaign to rasie S33 100000 for educational pur- poses will be launched. Representa- tive MethodiSts say that with the raiS ing of this fund every Methodist inSti- tuition of learning in the South will be put on it's feet properly equipped and endowed to render greater and more efficient service than ever before. These institution of learning include universities. standard and jhnior col legeS, industrial school, academies and missionary training schools. They are located as follows: five in Alabama {; four in Arkansas: one in California :: two in Florida nine in Georgia sev- en in Kentucky; two in Louisiana six in Mississippi: five in Missouri elev- on in North Carolina one in Oregon ], one in Oklahoma ; seven in south Car olina seven in Tennessee: thirteen i'll Texas; and ten in Virginia and West Virginia.
 In recent address in the interest of the Christian education movement Of the Methodist Episcopal church. Jose phus Daiels. secretary of the Navy un- der Woodrow Wilson. said
 The man who give more than he in- tended for the care of orphans or the education of youth is the only wise man. for his investment will be return ing vitalized dividends long after he has retired or has passed away. Some men have found that the only money they saved was the money they gave away. Something like a quarter of q century ago a New York business man, worth millions. gave S1OOOOO to Emory college.

Seney, the New York generous giyer found that his entire fortune was swept away almost in day He had to begin life over again at the bottom. He paid a visit to the college to which he had contributed and was happy to find that the money he had invested in that in- stitution was helping to educate minis ters and missionaries and teachers and doctors. The only thing I saved was what | gave away he is reported to have said. for if he had not made the gift when he did that sum would have gone in the crash and he would have saved nothing
 The Christian educat ation movement which is seeking $33, ,O0O,000 to improve and endow the 91 colleges and univer- sites which are dwarfed and starved for lack of funds. is a cause which should appeal not only to every South ern Methodist. but to every Southern CT; because as long as the percentages of illiteracy is so high in the South no

 The majority of our farmers are | through planting corn and some are talking of planting cotton. We had better keep the seed in our barns until spring. or they will soon be rotten.

 I took supper tonight with my true friend. Wm Grain He lives one mile South of Bodcaw He lives on top of a hill near the entrance of a lane He married a good Christian girl and some of these days Lemolac may do the same. There is one thing I wish to let you know, that William is always the same Bill, if he does live in nice bungalow. Iwould like to write more about Will liam, but will have to let it go.
 Please permit me to say few things about my young friend John Downs. He is about as clever a fellow as you ever saw that hangs around these little towns If you will treat Johnnie right he will meet you with smile instead of a frown He knows how to make money if cotton has gone down. He farms, trades horses and buys cattle. If it is necessary for him to do so to make a good trade, my how he can cause his tongue to rattle.
 I hope to live to write up Rosston Mt Moriah and Holly Springs, Willis vile and Whites Chapel some day, and also many more of the good people of Bodcaw. It will take time to write all I wish to write. I know that some people think it sin to have fun in that way I had good man to talk pretty straight to me one tme for joking. He was one of these good fellows that nev- CT joked. He thought he caught me mapping one time and he gave me a good skinning. So you dear readers need not worry for I do not feel that am shining.
