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. Here's How Mississippi Stands at Various Points (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, April 16.—These river stages are announced by the weather bureau: The stage of the Ohio river at Cairo, 111., Wednesday morning!was 51.5 feet, a fall of 0.8 foot in the last 24 hours. The stage of the Mississippi river Wednesday morning at St. Louis was 27.2' feet, no change in the last 48 hours; at- Memphis, 43.0 feet, a fall of 0.3 foot in the last 24 hours; at Vicksburg, Miss,, 50,2 feet, a rise of 0.4 foot in the last 24 hours: Natchez, Miss., 49.4 feet, rise of 0.5 foot in the last 24 hours; Baton Rouge, La., 36.7 feet, rise of 0.7 foot in the last 24 hours; Donaldsonville, La., 28.9 feet, rise of 0.6 foot In the last 24 hours; New Orleans, 17,8 feet, a rise of 0.1 foot in the last 24 hours. 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, mention this paper. Regular size bot tles sold at all druggists—**50c. and $1.00.

And the governor’s view is shared by the members and officials of the state prison commission as well as the public generally. Governor Brown stated Wednesday mprnnig that there is no likelihood thafr the legislature will ever ^igain confer upon convict wardens the right to whip women prisoners. He pointed out that public sentiment would not countenance such a thing. A number of the convict wardens have recently complained that their more depraved and vicious negro wom en prisoners are giving them considera ble trouble; that these women have nc fears of the dungeons which are as extreme punishmeni^. an£ some more effective jEH&orT dnfciPline should be k ___________________________ Senator Ham Lewis PTas Club for His One Jocular Friend (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) JESUP, Ga. t April 16.—W. Brack Westberry, a.prominent citizen of Wayne county, committed suicide at his home near here today. Telling his family that he was going to feed his horses, West berry went to the horse lot, taking his razor and str^p with him.

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. FRIENDS HELP 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.

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 tice that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble and I quit and took up Postum.

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. { WHALEY IS NOMINATED FOR SEAT IN CONGRESS (By Associated Press.)

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.

Bloodhounds were secured, and they went directly to Barrett’s house, where he was arrested.
