FI WEATHER ALLOWS
FAST WORK ON LEVEES
Lower Mississippi Valley Folk
Hope to Avert Flood From
Great River
(By Associated Press.)
NEW ORLEANS. April 16.—A week
of sunshine in the lower Mtssisipi val
ley has permitted the work of raising
and strengthening the Alississlppi riv
er levees to proceed, .without interrup
tion and t.he engineers in charge of the
fight against the steadily increasing
flood waters from Vicksburg south are
extremely optimistic. Fair weather is
forecast for the lower valley today and
tomorrow. The rise at New Orleans has
been only 1.2 feet for the past seven
days, and the river here is still two-
tenths of a foot below flood stage and
more than four feet below the high
level of last spring.
At Arkansas City the gauge this
morning registered 54.5, or within eight-
tenths of the high mark of 1912. At
Vicksburg the river lacks but 1.3 feet
of last year's maximum stage. At
Natchez it is two feet below the record.
From Baton Rouge south, engineers
estimate that it Will be two to four
weeks before the river gauges register
close to the 1912 record.
The crest of the flood probably will
not reach New Orleans until the middle
of May.

Southeastern Arkansas
Inundated by Flood Water
<3y AssociAte'l Prot#.)
MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 16—Water
from the breaks in the Laconia, circle
levee on the Arkansas side of the liver
near the mouth of White river, today is
inundating a large section of southeast
Arkansas. Many valuable plantations
will be* overflowed and scores of negro
families made homeless, but the resi
dents of that section of the h&Q
feared, a repetition of last year’s dis
aster and were preparj>#*or the break.
Reports were j$e£ived here today that
the miin in the vicinity of
Modoca, were weakening under the
strain.the floow waters, but that
hapd fight was being made to hold the
-etfitire line. On the Mississippi side
^ from Rosedale to Coahoma, the em
b&nkments also are reported in bad
shape. It is declared by engineers,
however, that the break on the Arkansas
side will relieve 'the situation to a small
extent.
Advices from Helena state that the
dikes protecting that; district are ip
good shape and hope is expressed that
the flood will be passed down the river
without a break.
The gauge at Memphis stood at 43
feet this morning, a fall of three-tenths
in the past 24 hours. A slow decline
for the next few days is predicted by
the weather bureau. From Memphis to
Vicksburg the river continues to rise
slowly. ^
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required Lo Withe
People’s Confidence
Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
cured, to those who are in need of it.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says “Take for
example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for
in almost every case it shows immediate
results, as many of my customers testi
fy. No other kidney remedy that I
know of has so large a sale.”
The success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root is due to the fact that it fulfils
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
A free trial bottle will be sent by
mail, absolutely free. • Address Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and,

Governor Brown does not think there

WASHINGTON, April 16.—Senator J.
Hamilton Lewis the new senator from
Illinois and the late member of the up
per branch of congress to be elected
directly by the legislature of the state,
had a bad half hour today, when a joc
ular friend told him there was a pos
sibility that Secretary of State Bryan
would announce that Mr. Lewis Could
not take the oath of office, because ot
the recent amendment to the constitu
tion providing for the election of sen
ators by direct vote.
“What!” exclaimed Colonel Lewis.
“We’ll have to see about that at once.”
When the senator’s fears were put at
rest atfer a hurried telephone call to
the state department, the joking friend
had disappeared. Senator Lewis was
forced to go to the capitol but he an
nounced belligerently that he would in
terview the “friend” later—probably
with a club.
M’REYNOLDS DISMISSES
COFFEE TRUST SUIT
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 16.—The anti
trust suit against the Brazilian Valor
ization scheme—the so-called coffee
trust—will be dismissed within a few
days by Attorney General McReynolds
as a result of definite assurances from
the Brazilian government that the
900,000 bags of coffee valued at $10,-
000,000 stored in New York, have been
sold to bona fide purchasers.
Attorney General McReynolds today
said the United tSatfes would accept
Brazil’s assurances that the coffee no
longer was in control of the valoration
committee. Brazil declares the coffee
has been sold to 78 roasters in 33 cities
of 20 American states.
Had the compromise not been reached,
it was within the power of the United
States government to seize the coffee
under a new law passed by congress as
a direct result of the coffee suit.

St. Paul Park Incident
“After drinking Coffee for breakfast
1 always felt languid and dull, having
no ambitioft to get to my morning du
ties. Then in about an hour or so a
weak, nervous derangement of the heart
and stomach vtould come over me with
such force I would frequently hftve to
lie down.’’
Tea is just as harmful, because it
contains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee.
“At other times- I had severe head
aches; stomach finally became affected
and digestion so impaired that r had
serious chronic dyspepsia and -constipa
tion. A lady, for many years State
President of the W. C. T.U., told me
she bad been greatly benefited by ; quit

troubled for years with asthma. She
said it was no cross td Quit coffee when
she found she could have as delicious
an article as Postum.
“Another lady, who had been troubled
with pbronic dyspepsia for years, found
immediate relief on ceasing coffee and
using Postum. Still another friend
told me that Postum was a God-send,
her heart trouble having been relieved
after leaving off coffee and taking on
Postum- K
“So many such cases came to my no

old Roman, came to Washington recent
ly expecting to carry away with him
the office of solicitor of the department

organization had taken entire charge of
the work.
About $200,000, including funds raised
by Governor Ralston and the Red Cross,
will be distributed in Indiana.
Mr. Bicknell said it would be impossi
ble to tell just how much money would
be allotted each of the flood-stricken
states until the volume of water in the
Mississippi river had passed out into
the Gulf of Mexico, and an estimate
made of the damage done in the lower
Mississippi states.

r ormer Swainsboro Physician
Will Probably Be Called
as Witness
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Gai, April 16.—Dr. W.
J. McNaughton, hteld in the Chatham
county jail under, death sentence for
the murder of Frecfi Flanders, of Swains
boro, Emanuel county, on , June 4, 1910,
will probably' appear as a witness at
the trial of Mrs. Mattie Flanders, wife
of the dead man, indicted as co-defend
ant with him, who will face trial in
the superior court of Emanuel county
Friday.
“There’s a ‘nigger in the wood pile,’ ”
said Dr. McNaughton, “and he’ll come
out at this trial as sure as the sun
rises.”
‘Who is the ‘nigger in the ■wood
pile’ ” he was asked. “Do you suspect
some one of having committed the crime
for which 3 r ou have been sentenced”
“There was no crime committed,” he
asserted. “Fred Flanders died from
natural, causes.”
Dr. McNaughton is confident, how
ever, that nothing will come out at
the trial of the woman which will in
jure him. He expressed himself as
willing to apear as a witness in her
behalf.
It is the belief of the imprisoned man
that the state wishes to hang him be
fore Mrs. Flanders is tried. He says,
however, that Mrs. Flanders will sujrely
be exonerated, whether he lives or
dies.
BRANDS IT A “FRAME-UP.”
“A frame-up to get me—that’s all,”
declared the doctor. “They railroaded
me at the trial held in October of 1910.
They were prejudiced against me, from
the judge to the most ignorant man on
the jury. But the truth will come out.
“All I ask is truth and justice. If
I getnhat I can’t protest. 1 have been
in jail for trumped-up reasons, but I
am not feeling hard toward anyone for
that. I have quit worrying. What I
can’t help isn’t for me to worry about.”
Mrs. Flanders is not blamed by Dr.
McNaughton for his imprisonment. His
feelings towards the people of Swains
boro and Emanuel county are different,
however.
“Here is the case,” he said. “Mr.
Flanders dies. They get down on me—
that is, the Flanders family does—be
cause I am supposed to have been in
timate with Mrs. Flanders. They didn’t
bring any one to testify to this in court,
but they use their influence. The re
sult is that everybody is so prejudiced
against me when I come to trial that 1
don’t get a fair deal.”
Fred Flanders died on June 4, 1910. A
post-morten revealed the fact that the
stomach contained a small quantity of
arsenic, although not enough to cause
death. Soon after Dr. McNaughton. who
boarded at the Flanders’ home, and who
had be£n treating Flanders, was arrest
ed. He was charged with administering
arsentic to produce death. His motive,
it was said, was a desire to be rid of
an obstacle to his familiarity with the
wife.
DENIES ALL CHARGES.
Dr. McNaughton declared that he was
innocent, and even refused to say that
he had given arsenic in treating Fland
ers, although urged to do so. He still re
mains obdurate on this. He still declares
that if he had given Flanders arsenic
at any time it was without knowledge of
ALLEN B. THURMAN MAY
NOT GET POLITICAL PLUM The following October the physician
was given a trial on the charge of mur
der and sentenced ! o be hanged. The
case was reviewed by the state supreme
court on an appeal and the decision of
the lower court affirmed. The convicted
man has been imprisoned since because
of Governor Brown’s decision that Mc
Naughton shall not liang until Mrs.
Flanders has been tried. She is charged
with complicity in the alleged murder.
In 1901, Dr. McNaughton wfts married.
His wife died in 1907. Two children,
now living with their aunt in Raiford,
N. C., are the result of the union. Dr.
McNaughton has not seen then since his
arrest. He, explains that he believes
a lasting impression would be made
upon them if they saw their father Hi
jail, and that the impression would be a
blighting one. It is'for-this reason that
he has foregone the pleasure of seeing
them.
GOURT IS READY.
All arrangements are being made by
the court to proceed with the trial. Dr.
McNaughton will be brought here, prob
ably Thursday evening, and will go on
the stand for the defense.
Judge B. T. Rawlins has drawn 100
extra names from the jury box to insure
a sufficient number of jurors from which
to make a selection of the twelve to fry
the case, without the necessity of the
court stopping after the case has been
entered into.
These jurors are being summoned for
Friday and witnesses for both the state
and the defense are gathering for that
day. {

BLOODHOUND EVIDENCE
REJECTED BY COURT
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
DALTON, Ga., April 16.—That the
ccurt of appeals doesn’t consider the
dumb testimony of bloodhounds suffi
cient to convict was. evidenced by the
r cent decision reversing the lower
co*' in the case of Charley Barrett, a
negro, convicted here of arson. Tues
day Judge Fite dismissed the case, aft
er reading the opinion of the court of
appeals, ^vhich was, in effect, that the
testirhony against Barrett was not suf
ficient to warrant a conviction.
Barrett was charged with setting fire
to a sawmill at Coliutta, this county.
Suspicion was directed toward him
when the mill was burned, as he had a
short time prior been discharged.
Bloodhounds were secured, and they
went directly to Barrett’s house, where
he was arrested. All evidence intro-
C teed against Barrett was circumstan
tial, and the mute testimony of the
hounds went far toward his conviction.
