New Orleans, March 27.—With the
■water roaring through the break and
spreading over a wide area of country,
the ends of the crevasse near Lucy
were reported this morning to bo
Slowly crumbling.
Lumber was scarce at the scene
when the levee gave way, but a special
train over the Texas and Pacific got
away before daylight with a largo
consignment of material and planters
have hurried hands from all directions
to the scene. Whether the effort to
mend the break will be successful, it
Is Impossible yet to say.
The crevasse occurred in a bend of
the river, and that will add to the dif
ficulties of the work of repair. Sev
eral square miles of territory have al.
ready been overflowed; and large por
tions of St. John, St. Charles and Jef
ferson will doubtless go under water,
though many of those plantations in
the three parishes which He alo»g the
river will probably only be affected
by backwater. The flood will find
Its way to the gulf through Lake Sal
vador, Bayou Barataria, Little Lake
and other streams.
Sugar cane is being cultivated In
the thrco parishes, and there is con
siderable area devoted to truck farm
ing. Oyster beds are likely to suf
fer but there Is absolutely no danger
of loss of life.
Members of the LaFourehe levee
board went early to the scene to as
sist In the effort to hold tho ends, and
if possible, to close the crevasse.
As the Lucy break is on the oppo
site side of the river from New Or
leans, the efTort will be greatly to the
advantage of the city and of the levees
in the Pontchartraln district.
There has not yet been time for the
aew outlet to Influence tho high dtage
of the water her, but toy nightfall a
dcllno may reasonably be expected.
The government gauge reglsterd 20.3
feet during the forenoon, showing no
rise in .the past 12 hours. Local con
ditions otherwise havo undergone no
change.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dls- j
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that It is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid
neys, If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or If. when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of |
these important organs. This unpleasant I
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the |
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis- |
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy, j
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realised. It is sold |

Memphis, Tenn., March 27.—A spe
cial to The Scimitar from Greenville,
Miss., Says;
"With a tremendous crash the levee
4 four miles south of Greenville gave
way at 11 o'clock today and great
quantities of water is now pouring
through a 300-foot crevasse, rapidly
flooding the most fertile land in the
great Yazoo delta. Major John M.
Sears, in charge of the government
engineers’ office here, has just an
nounced that it is tho worst break
ever experienced on the Mississippi
side and he states the whole delta
from Greenville to Vicksburg will toe
flooded.
The Mississippi river commission
hoard’s steamer Mississippi 1 is near
the scene of the break and the mem
bers will make a thorough inspection
there. This is the first break to be
reported on the Mississippi side dur
ing the present high water.

Gar Load of Buggies
W E have just received a car load of the celebrat
ed “ROCK HILL” BUQQIES. The buggy
that is equaled by few and sui passed by noue. Has
the famous .“Long-Winded” axle. If you don’t
want to be worried to death by oiling your buggy
every few days, why get a “Rock Hill.” It don’t
cost a cent more in the long run to get a good than
does a cheap one. The “Long-Winded” axles have
been known to run 2,035 miles with one oiling. All
“Rock Hill Buggies are fitted with these axles, in
fact we say to you that for durability, easy riding
aud neatness the “Rock Hill” is by far the best
buggy on the market.
