Memphis, Tenn.-Flood stage on
/ the Mississippi river at Memphis was
passed recently, when the guage top
ped the 35-foOt mark The river IS
rising rapidly with a stage of ~ feet
! here, and 40 at Helena is predicted by
the United States Weather Bureau
! for the latter part of this week.
I The river here is rising about half
an inch an hour, and this probably
will be increased, rivermen say, as
heavy rains north of here have been
reported.
! The crest of the Ohio river flood
has passed Cincinnati and the river
has begun falling. The river still is
rising at Louisville, while the Cumb-
erland and Tennessee both are climb
ing and will continue to do so, on
account of rains on the upper waters
Of both recently.
The guage at Memphis stood at
34.S, and a few hours later topped 30
feet, which is flood stage here. From
now until Saturday or Sunday, when
a stage OF 40 feet here and 40 feet at
Helena, Ark, is predicted by the
Weather Bureau, the rise will be rap
id.
Backwaters from Wolf river and
other small streams Immediately north
of Memphis slowly are spreading over
the unprotected lowlands Flood gates
at several of the Bayous north OF
Memphis have been closed for the
first time in two years, and several
of the six pumps used to move off
backwaters in the extreme northern
en- Of the city are in operation.
Captains Of steamboats, arriving
here said that almost all residents %
the islands and unprotected lowlands
along the river outside the levees
have moved to higher ground with ALI
their belongings or are preparing to
move.
Practically no refugees are brought
in by the steamboats,, as most of those
living or flood exposed lands were
given ample warning and moved out
before the high water reached them.
The flood waters have topped al
most every island in the river from
Cairo to Memphis, but so gradual has
been the rise that all were able to
move their livestock and other prop
erty to a place of safety before the
water encroached on their lands.

of the following committee: Frank f,
Yearsley, Marshallton; G. P. Dickey
Stanton, and Frank Silver, Bear. The

Hardwick to Issue
No Proclamation
On Peach County

Peach county is dead letter SO
far as Governor Hardwick is con-
cerned, he has announced.
THE law" said the governor,
provides for the issuance of a proc
lamation by the governor in the
event of the ratification of the con-
stitutional amendment creating the
new county. It provides for no proc
lamation and requires no proclama-
ton in the event of the rejection Of
the amendment. Secretary McLen-
don has, certified to me that the face
of the returns show Peach county
to have been rejected by about 1000
majority. Therefore I shall issue no
proclamation"
Whether the Fort Valley CAM
paign committee for Peach county
will institute mandamus proceed
ings to compel Secretary of State
McLendon to decide their contest of
the election was not announced by
their spokesman, State Senator Joe
Davidson, who was in the city. He
said their plans were undecided.
Attorneys Sam Mum, of Perry,
and John B. Query, of Montezuma,
spokesman for the opposition to
Peach county, said they were quite
satisfied to let the matter rest as a
dead letter.
''You might say this, however,
said Attorney Query, that we have
found as many technical defects in
the returns of counties that went in
favor of Peach county as the Fort
Valley committee found in the re-
turns of counties that went against
Peach county. So if it comes to a
real contest, we will have as much
ground to stand on as they will.
The Fort Valley contest was
based upon technical defects in the
election returns of sixty-three coun
ties. They called on Secretary Nc
Tendon to exclude these counties
from the consolidation Of the vote.
To exclude them would give Peach
county a majority OF about 1000
votes.
Secretary McLendon's final de-
cision, as embodied in a letter by
him to the governor late Monday,
was that he has no authority to de-
eide a contest and could do nothing
but certify to the governor the cleo
ton result as shown by the face Of
the returns
