Many benefits have accrued to the

organization. Every farmer who raised
cotton last year saved 50 cents on each
bale marketed, as the result of the fight
against the jute trust. Every farmer who
purchased a wagon, or other farm imple¬
ments, saved from 10 to 25 per cent on
the purchase. The Alliance has taught

RUSHING WATERS.
WESTERN RIVERS OVERFLOWING THEIR
BANKS AND INUNDATING THE LAND.
Flood news from various points along
the Mississippi river and other streams
Wednesday morning, is that White and
Biaek rivers, in Arkansas, are on a ram
page. Both are over their banks, and
overflowing the country on each side for
miles. Heavy rains have fallen, and
continue to fall, along these streams and a
general inundation is looked for. The
Black is a tributary of the White,
and the White empties where into the the
Arkansas just above the point
latter pours its flood into the Mississippi.
At Fort Smith, on the Arkansas, a rise of
over eighteen feet took place in twenty
four hours, and at last accounts the swell
was proceeding added at minor a rapid floods rate, pouring The
great rise, to tributaries below
out of all the small Fort
Smith, will greatly add to the volume of
water in the Mississippi below the mouth
of the Arkansas, and increase the
peril to the lower country. All railroads
in the vicinity of Fort Smith are suffer¬
ing from serious washouts or loss of bridges
and trains are abandoned temporarily.
At Batesville, Ark., the White river rose
eighteen feet Wednesday and is now ris¬
ing a foot per hour. At Greenville, Miss.,
the river stood forty-seven and a half
feet and still rising. Latest reports from
the levees along the principal Mississippi
side were that the levees
were still in good shape, but the
strain against them was increasing every
hour. At Arkansas City it has been rain¬
ing for about forty hours, and the crev¬
asse in the levee above the city is now
about four hundred feet wide. The peo¬
ple are much alarmed at the outlook, and
some are seeking higher ground. At
Poplar Bluffs the situation is
serious. The rise in the Arkan¬
sas, west of Little Rock, is un¬
precedented. It is feared anotliei
day will bring out the unwelcome news oi
the water’s ravages. The flood outlook
at Memphis, Tcnn., is more threatening
than at any previous time since the pres
eut high water began to excite attention.
The Arkansas and White rivers are pour¬
ing out an immense volume, and the situ¬
ation below their mouths is anything but
encouraging.
Later reports say: The river at Now
Orleans at 8 a. m., Thursday was six¬
teen feet aud three tenths. At 5 o'clock
it was reported by nine-tenths, the harbor station at
sixteen feet and and at 2:50
o’clock they reported remained the water at seven¬
teen feet, but it at that point
but a short while when it receded to six¬
teen feet eight-tenths, where it seemed to
make a stand. This was six inches above
the record of other years, and the water
went over the levees all along the city
front at every depression or low place
and soon flooded the streets and side¬
walks of a large section of the city. The
river at Baton Rouge, rose six inches;
Bayou Sara, rose nine-tenths of a foot;
Natchez, rose six-tenths; Greenville,
Miss., rose two inches, and below Arkan¬
sas City the water is running over the
levee. It continues to ruin. DonaLLu,*
vitle, La., rose seven inches;Plaquemine,
La., rose six inches. Every preparation
that ingenuity and man can provide is
being made for breaks that may occur.
The rain has fallen for fifty-four hours
and the total fail has exceeded five inches.
Dispatches from Memphis, Tenn., say:
The rivers are in an alarming condition.
The highest flood level ever recorded has
already been reached at many points
*outh of here and will likely be attained
from Cairo to the gulf within the next
five or six days. Ark.,
Reports from Arkansas City, say
the real condition of affairs at that place
have been suppressed. flooded The water the from
Sappington break has town
and surrounding country. Hundreds of
hogs and sheep have been drowned and
the people are in constant fear of a break
in the levee in front of the city, where the
water on Thursday was four inches upon
the sand bags on top of the levee.
