inland sea of muddy water that surged
over weakening levees crept higher
around homes on the Tallahatchie
River Valley tonight wherein are ma

number is sorely inadequate to promise
immediate help for all.

are wondering where they will secure
a sufficient number to rescue all of
those stranded In time to prevent
greater suffering

follow unless the sufferers are spared
from further exposure

Late today a levee protecting the
Jones Federic Plantation, near here,
broke and all man power in the vi

The full force of the flood is now
being felt in Tallahatchie County,
bursting minor plantation leveeS and
threatening to blow out the whole Tai
lahatchie leyee system in the Cas-
Sidys Bayou bend which stretches from
Glendora around Webb, Sumner and
Swan Lake.
Miss Eleanor Ellis, secretary to J. w.
Williamson, superintendent of Parch-
man Prison Farm, made trip by boat
through the section and said the flood
was the greatest hazard the valley has
ever known.
She said practically no hope was
held that the levee system would last
