HIGH WATER COMING.
Draw' Bridge at Cotter Fdlls Un
der Pressure of Current—
Water Over Iron Moun
tain For Six Miles.
There seems to be danger
ahead for the people of the low
lands, as White river has been
rising three or four feet a day
and now stands at 23 feet on the
gauge. The highest water known
for years has been registered on
the Upper White, tearing out
I the structure work beneath the
massive railroad bridge under
construction at Cotter. A further
rise of six feet is expected at
that point.
Nor is White alone on this ram
page. Black is over the Iron
Mountain track for six miles
near Poplar Bluff and threatens
to augment the flood of White
and carry the river far above the
danger line in this section.
WHITE COUNTY
REPORTS EARLY.
The first returns to come in
from over the state were from a
Davis stronghold, White county,
and showed that the governor
had not lost his hold upon the
people of that section. As
White county had only state offi
cers to vote upon the totals were
easily footed.
Following is the vote of some
of the precincts: Searcy, Davis1
