LEVEES ARE~NOT HOLDING STREAMS At New Madrid, Mo., the Levees Show Signs of Breaking.—This Is One of Most Strategic Points. Memphis April in.—OP)—While the major defends of the Mississippi River today were withstanding the greatest floor in thq history of the continent, a wide strip of territory approximately 100 mires long between New Madrid. Mo., and Helena, Ark., was doomed to inundation. The St. Johns Bayou levee, 8 miles north of New Madrid, broke tinder the pressure of floods early today and through'the mile-wide breach the wat ers of the Mississippi flowed over thousands of acres, inundating towns nnd backing up waters of its tributar ies already miles out of the banks. Sweeping through the entire St. Francis 'River basin on the west and the Litter River valley on the east, the waters overtaxed the two streams and created a giant floodway reaching from Big Lake, Ark., to St. Francis Fake, about 75 miles south. The-en tire St. Francis and Little River val leys were innndatede. Twenty towns and fifty villages were fighting the worst flood in history. Lake City, Truman, Herman, Tulot, Marked Tree. Tyronxa. Lepanto, Defkerville, Gilmore. Frenchman’s Bayou, Joiner, Wilson, Osceola, Ma rlon, Harvard. Parkin. Eftrl. Briek eys, Nettleton, Forest City, Marianna, Faraway, Black Oak, Blythevilie and nnineroua villages were in the path of the flood. Reports gathered by the Associated Press here from numerous towns in the district said greater floods were expected. While the Mississippi itself spread over a great territory, its tempestu ous tributaries brought high water to towns in* Arkansas and Missouri. The Arkansas, |be White, the Petit Jean, and other rivers were taking a heavy • mag --y-imdi Hops'lif saving "levees which pro tect Clarendon in Monroe county. Ark. were virtually abandoned.

C., TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1927 1 --■■ . ; : ' Many County School Superintendents Are Being Replaced This Spring .By J. C. BABKERYIL& < Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. * Raleigh. April 19.—More county school superintendents are' being re placed this Rpring than in a niimber of years, the records in the Department of Public Instruction show, approximately 15 eonnties'hav ing changed their superintendents reeently. with indications that five or six more may change within the next few weeks. What is the reason for this Wide spread dissatisfaction with school heads in the various Counties, and what is the underlying factor that 'ls inducing school boards to change superintendents, many <rf whom, hare been serving the counties for' many yearn? Is it because they want more progressive administration, or because of political conditions or persona! Igrievances, or is it because certain superintendents have been iirclined tp spend too much money on sehtiote-L which has meant increased taxes? ; Although all of these factors nii dolibtedl.v enter into the situation, it is generally agreed among those who have been following the situation that this almost wholesale change in enmity superintendents is traceable primarily to a desire of the taxpayers to curtai expenditures for school purposes, ans if possible curtail taxes for sciUMg purposes. In a few instances, snpertnE tendents have resigned for persona' reasons, such as ill health, or beeansi they personally felt that the count* needed a change in the administral tion of Its schools, or 'because n county wanted a younger nnd more program sive man. But th<*e are exception*' rather thnn the rule. “There is no doubt that in a num ber of counties there is a definite feeling among the taxpayers that they have been spending too much money for schools, that taxes are too hig{h and that in order to curtail, a new superintendent is necessary,” said A|: T. Allen, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. "Consequently: some of the most efficient nnd progres sive superintendents in the state are being cut loose. ’’This is ipnrtly attributable to the anti-taxation sentiment that has been, noticeable in the entire state this year, ami the so-called.“economy” cry that has been raised on every hand. And as a result, in some counties that element that is forever apposed to any increase in expenditure for school pur poses, because of the fear that taxes may be increased, has gotten into control of the school boards, with the result that a number of superintend ents have been replaced. Os course, in some counties, the conditions hays been due to entirely different jdj ctrtnstances, bnt for the this seems to Ibe true." However, this is by no means the case in the majority of the counties, according to Mr. Allen, for on the whole the pnssage of the new equal ization fund of $3,250,1109 hns had an excellent psychological effect over the THE COTTON MARKET Opened Steady Today at an Advance of 2 to 4 Points Under Continua tion of Buying Movement. New York. April 19.—(A*)—The cotton market opened steady today at an advance of 2 to 4 points under continuation of buying promoted by recent wet weather anti the Mississippi valley flood situation. ■ The demand was promoted by steadiness of Liver pool which fully responded to the local advance yesterday, but the market met a good deal of realizing around 14.60 for July and 15.00 for De cember. There a'.so was selling on prospects of more favorable weather in Texas, and the market turned easier toward the end of- the first hour, July reacting to 14.52 and December to 14.90, or about 2 to 5 points net lower. Private cables reported con tinental and local buying in Liverpool, but complained of a limited business in cotton clotjjs. Trading was quieter later in the morning, but ' prices worked gradually off to 14.46 for July nnd 14.92 for December, or about 9 to 10 points net lower under further real izing and local or southern selling. Prices were within a point or two of the lowest at midday. Gotten futures opened steady: May 14.38; July 14.60; December 14.80: December 15.06; January 15.11. Mrs. O. L.

Citizens Building and Loan Association Office in Citizens Bank Building state, and has considerably raised the enthusiasm of the public generally for better schools, especially since by means of this fund, school taxes wiil be decreased from 10 to 30 per cent in mote than 80 of the 100 eounties in the state. In analyzing the basis factors be hind this change in county Huper intemlent.s Dr. J. Y. Joyner, secretary of the State Educational Commission, and for years one of the leading educators in the state, and formerly state superintendent of schools, agrees with Mr. Allen. “This move on the part of a number of eounties to replace superintendents who in the estimation of the tax payers. have been spending too much I money on the schools, is traceable directly to the inherent repugnance among the majority of the [>e<iple iu tlie state toward anything that ma.V bring about increased taxes, even if it does menu the sacrifice of progress. And thus some of the most progres sive school men in the state are being let out, because they have been in a bit too big a hurry to attain their ends. “And this is to be regretted, be cause the schoriis in these counties, where this hns been the impelling mo tive. are hound to suffer, until the people wake up to the fact that, they cannot afford to economize in the administration of their schools. But their opinions will not change in this resiiect until they are convinced by exiierinece,” Dr. Joyner said. In some cases, of course, there are other factors in the change in county siilierintendents, some having been per jlmps too dogmatic or intoierent, and in a few cases, a county here and there hns desired a younger or more progressive superintendent, who will and can bring the schools of the coun ty up to a higher standard. But this is the exception rather than the rule. In Cuinberlan, Caswell and Cabar rus counties, new superintendents of schools have already 'been elected. In Chowinan county it is generally ex pected that a new superintendent will be named, and similar action may be taken in .Columbus county. In Hyde county, a new superintendent will be elected, though one has not .vet been chosen. Lincoln county already hns a new superintendent, who took office iu January of this year, ami who is expected to continue iu office for some time. There will be new superintendents in both Madison and Mecklenburg counties, while indications are that New Hanover county will select an other superintendent. Onplow and Pamlico counties are also qxpected to maJfe a change, as is SampsiSh county. 'Washington e<mt(f> r 'haN already elet-f --ed a new superintendent. There are several other counties where it is known that a change is 'being consid ered. Those who have been following the situation are anxious to see post what the results of these changes will be.

' -allie Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, April 19. —Mimic not only Ims become one of the leading busi nesses in the United States, with more than 130,000 music teachers and pro fessionals, but is generally recognized as being one of the most steadying in fluenced in life, either urban or rural, and ranks next to the church in its power to uplift, John Paul Weaver, head of the music department of the University of North Carolina'at Chap el Hill, told the members of the Amer ican Businas Club here. Mr. Weaver was the principal speaker at the club's regular weekly luncheon. "But while music is unquestionably one of the bigger businesses of the country today, with more music teach ers than ministers or college profes sors and while more than $300,000,- 000-was spent last year in the United States for instruction in music, it is the value of music as a community stabilizer that I would especially stress at this time,” said Mr. Weaver. ’The great need today is for more civic and community interest in music. There should be a community chorus and two or three civic bands in every city with a regular program of band concerts in parks for the benefit of the people. There should be more civic operas nnd cantatas produced by home talent nnder the direction of local musicians. It is a fine thing, of course, to bring in outside artists occasionally, but our nepd today is for more good music produced at home for home consumption.” Music is also a valuable aid in bettering the morale of any commun ity, and Mr. Weaver quoted Burns, former head of the United States se cret service, and former Mayor Dever, ’of Chicago, as stating that music, es pecially community music, was one of the greatest deterrents to crime that was known and that in Chicago com munity musical organizations and en tertainments were organized because of the effect they had as crime de terrents. 'Mr. Weaver paid tribute to the great advance in musical instruction in the public schools of the state in the last few years, but said that only a start had beers made in many instances, and urged the club members to give the cause of . better public school mu sic, with more adequate instruction in it, their heartiest support.

FIGHTING HIGHER RATES ON IRISH POTATOES Producers Declare Freight Rates on “Spuds” From North Carolina Are High Enough Now. The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. April 10.—OP)—A de termined effort is being made by the North Carolina Corporation Commis sion and the Eastern Carolina Whole salers and Manufacturers Association to prevent an increase in the freight rates on Irish potatoes from points in North Carolina to points in the middle west, points west of Pitts burgh, Pa., and east of Chicago. A hearing on 'this mntter was re cently held in .Washington. D. C„ be fore the Interstate Commerce Com mission at whieh time thp bndipp re ferred to above protested against the proposed increase and submitted data to substantiate their claims that the proposed increases were not warrant ed. These proposed increases were filed in tariffs issued by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and were suspended by the Interstate Commerce Commission upon protests of the above bodies pending a full hearing ou the matter. The rnilroad alleges that the increases were made for the purpose of lining up the rates in this state with the rates in effect in South Carolina. The proposed increases in North Carolina would be considerable, for example, taking the case of Washing ton, N. C„ to ,Cincinnati, Ohio, the present rate is 38 cents per 100 pounds, while the proposed rate is 55 1-2 cents per 100 pounds. The cur rent rate from Norfolk to the same destination is 44 eents per 100 pounds. There is no proposal to change the Norfolk rate. The protestauts, the North Carolina Corporation Commission and the East- PiW&tssasste if the rates were to be revised no in* crese in rates on so important a com modity of agriculture and most cer tainly none beyond the figures as would clear fourth section violations, which would mean that the rate should be no higher than Norfolk, through which point or the other Virginia cities like Richmond and Lynchburg ship ments usually move. The basis of this contention was. as above stated, the importance of the movement from eastern North Carolina and the very favorable financial condition of the railroads handling the traffic. The current rates have been in effect for years. At the hearing the North Carolina Corporation Commission was sented by its counsel, I. M. Bailey, and Rate Clerk W. G. Womble and the Eastern Carolina shippers by W. < L. Thornton. Sr., traffic manager of i the Eastern Carolina Wholesale and i Manufacturers Association of Wilson. 1 UNION COUNTY CALLS ON THE STATE FOR AID 1 Asks State Boat’d of Education to 1 Name the County’s New Superin- < tendent. Monroe. April 18—With the fail- I ure on the part of the Uniion county board of education today to break ■ the five-day deadlock which has hung over the body, the state board of education will be called upon to nnme the next superintendent of Union county schools. W. D. Hawfield. who resigned a few days ago, left the body with -four in number, with his resignation leav ing everyone thinking the mntter settled, Bur Lee Huggins, chairman of the board, insists that he has a right to vote, and has sprung a sur prise by voting on a tie in every at tempt to elect a superintendent or n new member of the board to succeed Mr. Hawfield. It is apparent in Monroe today that before the state board of educa tion will go up from Union county four classes of petitions, one set of petitions asking that the present in- 1 eumbent be retained, another sot of petitions will ask that the present superintendent be replaced by some educator meeting the -approval of the state board of education. Others will try to accomplish their end by ask ing the state board to select one from a list of names furnished to re place Mr. Hawfield. And there an; many in the county who will prob ably seek relief from the embarrass ing situation by asking the state board of education to appoint for Unloin county an educational dicta tor for the next two years, at which time a law now on the statutes pco vides that the people ofthe county shall elect a board of education and consequently have a say in appoint ing of a superintendent.
