RAIN BRINGS NEW DANGER TO AREAS SWEPT BY FLOODS

SEVEN DEAD IN STRICKEN ZONE; RIVERSON RISE Hundreds Are Homeless in South; Many Suffering From Exposure. EPIDEMIC IS FEARED Great Section Faces Ruin as Result of Heavy Crop Damage. By Vnited Press ATLANTA, Ga„ April 27.—Forecasts of additional rains in floodswept areas of Alabama, Georgia and Florida threatened today to increase the peril of high waters and delay efforts of farmers to replant ruined crops in sections from which the flood crests have passed. The death toll since last Monday, when torrential rains sent rivers over their banks, increased to seven today, A Negro fireman was killed when a freight train went through a weakened trestle near Sylvester, Ga. Hundreds are believed suffering from exposure and the refugee list grew steadily, augmented by thousands of farmers and their families from Alabama counties along the path of flood waters of the Tombigbee River. In northwest Florida, the State board of health acted to prevent: epidemics. Between 5,000 and 6,000 ( refugees faced a week of further; absence from their homes. Flood waters receded in the Georgia area, where highways were j out and rail communication poor, j Storm Takes SIOO,OOO Toll JACKSON, Miss., April 27.—Property damage estimated at more than SIOO,OOO was caused by a wind- I storm here today. Trees were uprooted, store win- j dows broken and wire communica-. J tion affected by the blow. Heavy : rain and a drop in temperature | followed the storm. Mississippi Fear Subsides WASHINGTON. April 27.—The Mississippi River, south of Cairo, 111., slowly is rising, and probably will just about reach the flood stage. However, it is not expected to exceed it, and so conditions are “a I long way from serious trouble,” said 1 Dr. H. C. Frankenfield, in charge I of the Weather Bureau’s flood wqrk, | today.

‘‘The whole thing is dependent upon rainfall,” he told a representative of Science Service today. “At present no rain is in sight in the Missisippi area, but light showers and so all the water doubtless will be carried off before it can do damage. Only if we have widespread and heavy rainfall is the situation likely to become serious. “It. is the White River, in Arkansas, that we are watching with apprehension. The waver is rising and the levees are weak. They weie largely broken last year, and, though they have been rebuilt, they have not yet had time to settle and so are not as strong as we might wish. The same is true along parts of the Mississippi.”

The chapter undertook the work as a memorial to the late Miss Eliza Browning, former aasslstant city librarian, who before her death had been interested in the project to restore the cabin. Now local Girl Scout officials plan to transform the quarter acre of land surrounding the cabin and inclosed by an old “snake” log fence with the old fashioned flower garden. Landscape Architect L. V. Sheridan has drawn plans for the garden. Plants and shrubs provided by those desiring to pay tribute to dead or living friends will be permanently tagged with the names of those in whose tribute they were given. The cabin is to be used as the camp hostess house. It will be formally dedicated June 14.
