Dear Mr. Editor:?Please allow me space in the .Horry II ere Id for the purpose of prescotiu^ a few observations of the pre at disaster eanbed by fl >od in Arkansas I am a native of the hi#h Unrig of old South Carolina, and am giau to confess it.

For the oust few weeks the pc pin bv the hundreds have been poutirg inro Forrest City, H eirur 1'rooi the turbulent waters of the Mississippi. During the past ten days, car after ear load ed with horses, mules, cattle and household goods, have been brought, to this "City" to escape d 'struction by Hood Forrest City is a modern "city of refuge", and cur citizens are cheerfully Jet ding u.eir aid in taking care of those who have beon driven from their horn is bv the II ?od. Maliv there arc svho have attempted to brave the waters, in saving jheir live stock. Just, what will happeu to them is a mutter of copjc ot~ urn; but in cm Vfrdng with those! having knowledge of the subject, itj seems altogether probibie that they | will not only lo-o their live stock but their own lives as well. 1 have been informed that the ll >od 1ms itready cost the country nearly ton million dollars, and the loss of lin cannot as vet be estimated Only those who have gone through a similar experience can fully sympatb'z ? with the fl)od sufferers Not only have those who hivo been driven from their homes suffered, but the entire surrounding country as well. Railroad traffic is deuioraP'/wP hii^iriPKn in n. orpii.t manv towns is practically at a standstill; and it will be weeks before comtr.er:iul interests regain their former activity. In spite of all this the II ;od will have a beneficial effect in two ways. First the sediments deposited by the overflow will so errichen the land that crops will bo far more i prolific for many years to come. Second, it teaches us the lesson rliat, if the levees are to bo maintained, their present stage of construction is not to be depended upon and steps will have to be taken to prevent this enormous loss of life ar.d property from becoming a common occurance. It teems to mo that the Federal Government should bear the expense of building, and keeping in repair, leveos of sufficient strength to withstand any strain that might be brought to bear upon them. The Federal Government is bearing the expense of the reclamation and irr'gation undertakings of the country, and as no belter or richer land can be found in tho uoiou than are embraced in the low lying districts bordering the Mississippi river, it is only hor that they should afford the?e lands the protection they have the right to claim. It is hoped that thbon.iUer will be brought, to the no tree of he r.-o horities at Washingt.iin, and such pressure brought to bear upon those who have the spend 11, i?* (i f mi hi ip. monipv. for Million >! purposes, that they wlJl take the matter iu baud lor in m abate action. The Rock Island Railway oAnnals are fanning to establish a relief camp at Crow Creek, and efforts are being made to secure a sufficient number of empty box cars to house the hundreds who are without she! ter. Those well versed in the situation declare that many of those who refused to flee t,ho on-oonbug waters will no doubt lose their lives. The actual lose of lives so far, cannot be estimated, but great anxiety is feltby the friends of those who are yet in the flooded districts. It is sincerely hoped that there will be sufficient funds to provide for ail those who are in waut, and many donations to this end will be thankfully received by the relief committee.

MR 'IS NORTON TRINKS SO I Charges Spiveyaml MishoeWith Being in Cahoot to Elect, or Defeat Blense, Mr. Norton Does not Know Which, Makes the Statement That McCftskill and Lewis Were Appointed County Commissioners to Carry Out Cur Senatorial Delegation Instructions. It is time to open the campaign in Horry. la fact it is opened: but by those silent, gun-shoe gentry who sell life insurance and bunt real estate bargains in the early rr ontbs of every campaign year. I do not obose that in this neck of the woods the campaign should be opened blind; so, I'll open it openly myself. 1 want to talk some pure ftnd unadulterated politics, with only a side gianco occasionally at the good of the county, though that is always my constant objective. The Spivey machine, which workled fur him so faiihfully iu his camI paign four years ago and in his notorious Bond Issue campaign, has lately been cautiously and grad- j uaily putting itself forwuid aw the representative of Bleaseism in Horry Tuat'q queer, isn't it? It seems that the Sauutor is through with it for local purposes and 1 believe myself lit just as well be; that it is lining renovated preparatory to a trade with some of the Governor's cut.-oftbis-countv friends. I gatoer that some gentlemen interns ed in real est aic and life insurance have been idown here from Columbia lately, examining its state oi repair, counectjiig up its gears, readjusting the sparlter, and oiling up the faithful olci trap generally for some present service. Probably I is for a trial spin. If it can send machine made Btoase men, rather than W'lsou, or Under .vood, or Harmon delegates, co the State Convention, it. may b% worth trading for. If not-well, w<r shal I see. The tivo members of the County Board of Commissioners, lately ap-I pointed by our Senatorial delegation to carry out its instructions, have been instructed to pay to Walter Mishoe, whiskey deteotiye for iforry County, his claim for salary during 1911, amounting to some Five Hundred and Fifty Dollars of the public funds of our distressed county So far as anybody, i:.eluding the fteua tor and the County Commissioners, has informed u , Walter has not done a single solitary thing to earn i, s;? 1 ary for suppressing biind tigcrs II made a better failure as a Farm Demonstrator, bo, this money is paid him for other reasons than because he has done service to his county on his job Why? Walter, T am sorry to say, was in bud heai.-h during 1911 A large part of the time he was very feebie and unable to work. But he has spent some weeks this year, since his resignation as whiskey constable, in search of health. He is now, we are all very glad to note, in better physical condition than at any time, probably. since, the cam paiga of 1904. 1, for one, am sincerely glad to see his improvement in strength and appearance. Bnt-tbafc aside. As is #ell known J i to your readers, I do not like either Senator Spivcy'sor Walter Mi shoe's noli tics. Personally, they have always appeared to me to bo most excellent gentlemen, In fact. Sena tor Spivcy is as courteous a gentlemen a? one u? uo ly meets, and Wal ter certainly has more personal magnetism than auy of the Horry politicians 1 have ever known But otherwise, tboy have brought more confusion into 1 lorry polities, mora wrongs into Horry elections, irmv. unadulterated folly into the public business of Horry than any other local influence that Iris ever affected us. Regardless.of whether they are for or against iiieaso, 1 am to be found lighting an v v/hero it will do the most good against their using Governor B case's c apposed popularly iu this county to put the SpivoyMishoe machine b;ok into control of our politics, eiec .ions, and county business.

Senator Spivey is privately an outspoken anti-Blcase man; Waiter Mishoe became a Bicase man only iu the second primary two years ago. and we can't tell whether he is (irmly fas k vencd in the faith or not. How do fi \ I know 'hatSenator Spivey is not \ hording over the old machine that "* I is collapsing and spilt him in the the ditch in order to spill the Governor? How do I know that Walter Mis hoc is not preparing to use Senator Sphey's well known and 1 oucotly won unpopularity against Blea e? 1 am free to say that I do not know how they have crossed belts on tho inside; or whether the forward or rev arse gear is on. or even where thoy are goiug to get their gasoline. But, J do know when the old machine begins to work. The clank sputter, and whirr of it?it appears to have lost a little of its smell?is very familiar to me; I don't believe I can bo fooled. These life insurance agents and real estate agents, who have been in town from Columbia hi!ely I hardly think they brought any gasoline with them, but probably there war, enough left from the last couipaign or the bond light to run the thing for a trial.

What I have boon here remarking may give you the object ol their conversation, And here is something else. There arc some mighty good men iu Horry County who have been supporting Blease?supporting him from the very beginning of his runring. 1 cannot myself see why they do it, but I do know t.hsv are good men.
