ALL HOPE IS ABAND
TO CLOS
Natchez, Miss., April '28.?Approximately
700 square miles of Concordia
parish, Louisiana, possibly equal to
the number in Catahoulu parish, is
covered by the flood waters of the
Mississippi river as a result of the
Weecama levee breaks with back water.
The section is largely devoted to
cotton. Cots, blankets and other
equipment to care for refugees is
pouring into Natchez, according to|
officers in charge of the refuge camp.
Boats are arriving from the floodedj
section loaded with negroes, live
stock and household goods.
New Orleans, April 27.?With prac-'
tically all hope of closing the break
in the levee at Ferriday, La., abandoned,
the break there now having
widened to 1,500 feet, levee engineers
today turned their attention to other
points where danger threatens, the
most pronounced of these being at
Arkansas City, Ark., and Plaquemine,
La.
Two important breaks in the levee
system in this state today have em-|
phasized the importance of the levee
protection work, according to engi- j
neers, and the planters are showing'
more willingness to cooperate' in
working out protective measures. The 1
second break of the day was reported '
at Poydras, 12 miles below New Or-j
leans, where about 350 families were;
driven out of a section of St. Bernard
parish between the river and Lake
Borgne.
Flood water from the crevasse at
Ferriday, which is on the right bank
of the Mississippi, eight miles northwest
of Natchez, Miss., will return
to the Mississippi and Atchafalaya
rivers through the Black, Lower
Ouachita and Red rivers, and will Intensify
and prolong the flood situation
in this section, says a bulletin
issued by the local weather bureau
late today.
Water from the Ferriday crevasse
will cover practically every foot of
Pnn patH i o rioriali fV?or* VinK a#
Catahoula (eastern and southern sections),
Lower Tensas, southern Frank?
lin and part of Avorles parish. Heavy
rains during the last 24 hours in the
Red and Ouachita river basins have
further intensified the flood situation.
Water now in the Mississippi below
Old River is a half foot to one
foot higher than in 1912, the previous
highest stage of record.
The crevasse, which occurred this
morning on the left bank of the Mississippi,
12 miles below New Orleans,
had widened to 400 feet late today.
Efforts to tie the ends of the levee to
prevent further crumbling are still
under way, no effort having been
made as yet to close the gap, the
batture and levee having caved in to
the river. Water from this crevasse
is overflowing sugar and trucking
lands in St. Bernard and Plaquemine
parishes and will pass through Lake
Borgne and Breton sound into the.
gulf.
Keiugee camps have been established
at Natchez, Miss., Harrisonburg,
Martinsville and Jonesville, La., by
the Red Cross where food, clothing,
blankets and medical attention are
available to the homeless residents of
the overflowed areas.
More than 4,000 persons are being
cared for in the refugee camps tonight
while hundreds of others are
being cared for in the homes of
friends. The Monroe, La., national
guard company was assigned to duty
at the Harrisonburg refugee camp today
to cooperate with the Red Cross
in caring for the refugees.
Children's Week to be
Observed by Grace Church
The evangelical church of North
America have set aside this week to
be observed as Children's Week. Effort
is being made by the Sunday
school workers to visit, all homes of
the church so as to enlist parents and
friends and all thinking people of the
community, in giving deeper thought
to the importance of the religious education
of children. The work of canvassing
the homes is to culminate in
a service at the church Sunday afternoon
at 4 o'clock, of all parents and
friends of children. Two or more
? m? l i ni.il
short addresses win dp mane. umidren
are not expected to attend,
though where necessary, mothers may
bring their infants and small children,
arrangements will be made to care for
them during the service. This afternoon
service will take the place of
the evening service and it is greatly
desired that every parent and friend
of the church will attend. The hour
of the service is so arranged as not
to conflict with any regular church
service, so the invitation is extended
to parents and friends of all other j
churches to meet with us. A cordial
welcome will be given to all.

TO THE VOTERS OF
UNION COUNTY
1
1
There appeared in yesterday's Co- ,
lumbia Record a ruling by the attorney
general that a great many peo- .
pie did not understand, and a great ,
many are of the impression that we
will not have a sheriff's race this year.
But I beg to state that we will have j
an election for sheriff and the man t
that is fortunate enough to get the (
nomination will hold said office until (
1926 unless he be removed by death or j
otherwise.
The case referred to by the attorney ^
general is that of the coroner of
Pickens county, who was elected in a
regular primary, the former coroner
having resigned two years before his (
term was out. When the newly-elect- (
ed coroner took charge he took charge j
for four years from the date of his j
election, not four years from the date .
of his predecessor's election. The
sheriff of Union county was appointed ,
by the governor, and the supreme
court has ruled that the governor cannot
appoint for a period beyond the j
next general election. We will, therefore,
have an election for sheriff in
this county this summer.

HOPE TO RECOVER ;
LOST SECURITIES
4
New York, April 27.?Postoffice authorities
today believed they were in
a position to recover the greater part
of the $2,500,000 loot taken by three
armed bandits in their daring raid on
a mail truck on lower Broadway last
October.
Working tirelessly since the postmaster
general himself started a nationwide
hunt for the robbers, postoffice
inspectors announced that their
lix months' work had been rewarded
toy the capture of three men whom
ffiey arraigned before United States
Commissioner Hitchcock on the
charge that they had found them trying
to dispose of $75,000 worth of se. urities
which had formed part of the
plunder.
The arrests, it became known, were
mane yesterday, in dramatic fashion
in two of the largest downtown broksrage
houses, which had turned over
their premises and staffs to assist the
inspectors in laying a trap for the
trio. More arrests in the immediate
future were promised.
The fact that the news of the arrest
did not become public until a day
nfter they were made illustrates the
secrecy with which the inspectors
have been working.
Last Friday inspectors claimed they
had received word that Louis and
Jack Wolfe, dealers in silk goods, and
Jacob Price, whose business was not
i^iven, were trying to dispose of securities
listed as among those stolen.
Thereupon the inspectors called on
the brokers, whose names were not
made public, and obtained their consent
to using their quarters for carrying
on negotiations with the suspects.
One inspector, posing as a broker, got
in touch with the Wolfes and arranged
for them to call at the brokerage
>ffice.
When they appeared nearly a score
of inspectors were scattered around
the office. Some posed as customers,
others guarded doors and elevators.
The inspectors claimed to have closed
negotiations for the securities at 60
per cent of their value but asserted
that one of the suspects demanded to
see the color of the "brokers' money"
before producing the bonds.
He was shown thousands of dollars
borrowed for the purpose and express?d
himself as satisfied.
When he returned, inspectors stationed
near their partner's private
m i / i ?tiL J ?
nice junipeu iorwara wn.n urawn revolvers
after a prearranged signal
had told them the securities had been
produced and arrested the two.

SENATOR MYERS I
ON SOLDIERS' BONUS
3
Washington, April 27.?Replying to
resolutions of the Mantnna state di- '
vision, Disabled Ameriqpn Veterans of '
the World War, condemning his stand '
against the cash bonus for world war (
veterans, Senator MyetB (Democrat) '
of Montana declared in fi letter writ- 1
ten today to John W. Mahan of Mis- <
soula, state commander of the or- <
ganization, that he "came to the sen- i
ate a free man and would rather retire <
from it a free man than to remain in 1
it subject to the dictation of any or- <
ganized minority afraid to follow the I
judgment of my own conscience and
sense of duty." i
"I have so far followed my own con- <
victions of duty since- 1 have been 1
here," Senator Myers wrote, "and s
shall continue to do so, so long as I i
may remain. The highest test of pub- <
lie service, in my opinion, is to do i
one's duty, fearlessly ajld fairly, as '
one sees it, without reward to conse- t
quences, and I have tri^d to set my 1
aim on that plane. 1
"I observe you write significantly 1
that the disabled men I in Montana
have been 'observant' ol the actions 1
of Montana's representatives at 1
Washington. I observe, #lso, that one
of the resolutions severely condemns <
me for my opposition to ?he cash pro- <
*jioinnc of ilrn o^inai/\u I
measure and refers to my 'hostility' to <
the wishes of the ex-service men and <
citizens generally. Of bourse it was I
the privilege of your convention thus 1
to characterize me if it daw fit, and it '<
is equally my privilege.;, to discharge t
my duties according to my convictions 1
and sense of duty. I
"I have voted for ewry measure *
that has come up in congress for the
benefit of disabled world jtrar veterans. J
I have favored everything our former <
service men have asked ?nd do favor 1
everything they now ask except, a cash <
bonus at an expense of ^bout $4,000,- '
000,000 to the taxpayers! of the country.
That I can not ftvor because 1
I am opposed to it inVprinciple; it
never has been done fot the soldiers I
of any other American r and I do
not think the business of the country l
or the condition of thejflwrburdened
taxpayers justTffes it. rnnrtTierrnorp-"f *
doubt the right of your convention to .
speak for all former service men and
all citizens of Montana. I have re- 1
ceived many letters from former service
men and from other citizens in
opposition to the cash bonus."

MANY PERSONS I
FALL WITH DECK
Point Pleasant, Ohio, April '11.?
President Harding's trip up the Ohio
river today to participate in the 100th
airthday anniversary of General
Grant, narrowly escaped serious disaster
when part of the third deck of
the steamer Island Queen crashed to
the deck below carrying with it some
100 persons. Only a minute's warning
by cracking timbers gave a school
. hildren's band and many others on
the deck below time to get from unler
the crashing deck. Only three
persons were injured, not seriously.
That the president and Mrs. Hardng
and others in the presidential party
were not aboard the Island Queen
was due to advice of government inspectors
late last night. They advised
against the president making the trip
>n the old pleasure boat because of
ter condition. Consequently the president
and his party were assigned to
;he Cayuga, a government boat which
ed the flotilla of seven steamers from
Cincinati bearing between 10,0110 and
15,000 persons.
The flotilla was passing New Richnond,
Ohio, seven miles below Point
Pleasant.
The Cayuga with the president
aboard, leading the procession, had
leared the village. New Richmond
:itizens, however, did not know of the
:hange in plans which put the presiient
aboard the Cayuga. They began
firing rockets as the Island Queen
vith its 3,000 passengers came
ibreast. These on board crowded to
.he front decks to witness the spectacle
ashore. Bands aboard were
playing and everybody was in high
spirits.
Suddenly there came the crashing
and grating of timbers under the feet
if the 300 on the third deck. They
relt the floor sink. They stood silent,
apparently awe struck for a half a
minute. Then came a deafening crash,
rhe entire forward deck dropped. Still
there was no panic.

had been playing immediately under

HARDING PAYS GLO\
TO GRANT. T
CONCERNING VOTE
ON HOSPITAL BONDS
Fditor The Union Times:
Please be kind enough to Rive me a
small amount of your valuable space
for a short article against the great
topic of the day, "Voting Additional
Bonds for the County to purchase the
City Hospital and property."
If the leading surgeons and doctors
of Union county cannot put enough
money and talent into the hospital to;
successfully operate it, where will!
Union county with this undesirable
"junk shop" ever make it successful? '
Let's see the issues. Our valuable phy- j
sicians have erected and equipped the J
hospital and fell down on the job, so!
they claim. The property and build- j
ing cost, we learn, $72,000, and they j
want to unload it on poor old Union j
county for $7.r>,U00. Hasn't Union I
county already enough junk on hand
without securing more? We say the\
have and enough taxes and different
bonds already to make the load almost
unbearable to the poor people. It
seems reasonable that we, as citizens
of our grand old county, should vote
against these additional bonds and
make Union county such a good county
till other enterprises will spring up
here; but if we vote these additional
bonds it seems we will close the door '
to new business. If we purchase this |
broken down property every business
failure will want the county to vote j
additional bonds and take over othefailures.
We can take over this property easily
enough but won't the surgeons now
operating it still get a large revenue
from it, and if they do not., will not >
I
the county have to pay their hi!is?j
We are sure this is the reason the
surgeons are so anxious to place this
burden on the people to bear. If the
county could successfully operate this
work shop for the people, then why
can't the county physicians buy it up
and not let it fall on the county?
Being a few years ago a citizen of
Spartanburg county and that county's
delegation to the legislature put a
million and a quarter's worth of good
roads bonds upon the people, they began
to flee to and fro and lo and he
hold, Senator Duncan has decided to
put Union county to acquiring us" i
less property on this county if he can
possibly do so, but thank God, as men
and women, we will do our level best
to defeat the bond issue. Men, women,
get on your war clothes and let's
show Colonel Duncan we have backhone
enough to use our best efforts to
defeat, the bond issue. First, last and
all the time, we are "agin" the voting 1
of additional bonds and especially to
i i-quirc a useless mass of hospital
plunder.
As Patrick ITenry said, "Give me
liberty or give nie death," and as a
final warring to the voters we say
cast a ballot against further indebted
ness to our county and especially the
hospital bonds. If you vote for yours
and our county's interests we feel
sure the bonds will be overwhelmingly
defeated. Useless to say more to
wise men, and even fools can't help
but understand. C. T. Chalk

VING TRIBUTE
HE UNION GENERAL
Point Pleasant, Ohio, April 27 (By
the Associated Press).?Standing in
the shadow of ihe spot where General
Grant was born 100 years ago
today, President Harding brought
forth great applause from lf>,0iMi
people when ho expressed his belief
that the great union leader would
have approved "all the republic has
so recently done in joining other nations
in lifting the burdens of a?
mainent and providing understandings
which make war less likely."
The audience, composed mainly of
Ohioans who had journeyed here to
celebrate the centennial of Grant's
birth, cheered also when Mr. Harding
declared the "sacrifice and nationwide
service in the World war revealed
the common American soul."
Mr Harding spoke from a stand
immediately adjoining the spot on
which stood the cottage where General
Grant was born. Mrs. Harding.
Mrs. Fred Grant and many others
prominent in the official life of the
nation and Ohio were on the platform.
In the absence of Governor Davis,
who was ill. Judge Hugh Nichols,
chairman of the centennial committee,
introduced the president.
Before beginning his prepared ad- Vit
dress Mr. Harding expressed his
pleasure at coming to a village lik
Point Pleasant for an occasion like
that of today. "I would rather have
come to si snot like this." lie said.
"than to any other in the republic
that I could choose. Not but that 1
have great reverence for the genius
ami the determination am! the capacity
which belongs to great cities,
but if my observations in life count
for anything I want to say to you
that the one everlasting anchorage
of this republic is in the communities
like this in which we are gathered."
Mr. Harding said of General Grant
that "he only wanted to sustain Lin
coin, whom God inspired to bestow
freedom. He fought for a preserved
union and restored nation and succeeding
generation are richer be?cause
of his example." He praised
the r.nion leader as a great hero and
military commander, the "unconditional
surrender Grant" of the army
who immediately on the surrender of
General I.ee at Appomattox b 'came
