gathered; late corn is not gen
orally so good. Large amounts
of fodder we're cured in the
central east section: the bulk
of the crop has been saved in
the east. Some tobacco was
fired this week in the dry, hot
central portion. Curing is
being advanced as rapidly as
possible, is practically COM
pleted in the east and southern
half Of the central district, and
about one-half cut elsewhere.
The crop will be short in some
central counties owing to early
unfavorable conditions. Rice
is now heading nicely. Sweet
potatoes promise a good crop.
The week was too dry for tur-
nips, which are coming up

THRILLING ACCIDENT TO8-YEAR-
OLD Boy AT Rock HILL.

OLD Boy AT Rock HILL.
Charlotte News.
DR.. T. A. Crawford, of Rock
Hill, was here last night and
told a News reporter of a sing
ular incident that occurred in
Rock Hill a few days ago. An
eight-year-old boy caught hold
of a live wire that had been
blown down by a storm. His
feet were touching the damp
ground and the circuit was
completed through his body.
He was thrown fiat. Several
persons were standing near,
and seeing his predicament,
tried to help him. Every one
who touched him was thrown
to the ground with a severe
shock Of electricity.
At last the boys father got
an axe and cut the wire, break
ing the circuit. The child was
badly burned on the back of
his neck, and was almost de ad
from the shock, but recovered.
An electrician who worked
on the line stated that more
than a thousand volts Of cleo
tricity passed through the boys
body, and he can not see how
he escaped alive.

CROP DAMAGE WAS
GREAT.

ED EAsTwARD-NEGRo KILL
ED BY LIGHTNING.
Cor. Asheville Citizen.
RALEIGH, n. c., Sept. g.
There was a shower here Mon
day afternoon. but It was
merely a tantalizer. There
was one sharp thunderstroke,
which did deadly work. A cou-
pie of negroes we're in a wagon
loaded with cotton east of here
a mile or two. The bolt killed
one and set fire to the cotton.
1t also killed the mule which
was drawing the wagon. The
other negro was stunned. The
hat Of the one killed was
burned and his clothes torn to
pieces. The bolt struck him
in the forehead and made a
wound quite like a bullet hole.
The characteristic feature Of
the weather for the week end
ing Monday night was the
copious rainfall over a large
number of counties west Of a
line drawn from Union county
to Wilkes. At some points in
that section rain occurred
every day Of the week and the
drought was thoroughly brok-
en-. Although the rains came
too late for the main crops. it
was altogether beneficial, ma
terially helping late corn, cot
ton, sweet potatoes, turnips,
and vegetables and placed the
ground in excellent condition
for blowing and sowing fall
crops. Only small amounts of
fodder could be cured, how
ever, on account Of the excess
sive moisture. On the other
hand the center Of drought in
tensity has been shifted east
ward and now covers most of
the central district, with great
damage in the south portion.
Although cloudy, threatening
weather prevailed the first four
days, nearly the entire week
was dry, with increasing heat
and insulation the latter part.
Fall crops ~ suffering con
siderably for lack Of rain,
especially peas, turnips and
potatoes, while early sOwn oats
are coming up badly, and fall
blowing has been delayed. In
some southern counties springs,
wells, and branches are drying
up, and stock must be watered.
In the eastern district the week
was generally favorable, with
light showers and excellent
conditions for saving fodder.
Cottonis opening quite rapidly,
picking is general over the
southern half of the State, and
new bales are coming into
market. The small size Of
many of the open hollis indi-

pointments. The object of the session
was to appoint the state house en-
ployes, approve Treasurer Grimes
bond, and to talk over the situation
with regard to the legality of the spec
ial session
During the afternoon about 40 men
stood around the entrance to the secre-
tary of states office. where the council
was in session, waiting to hear their
fate They were all applicants for state
house Jobs, but they represented only
small proportion of the applicants.
After an eight hours session the
council announced the following ap-

REINDEER HERD PASSES.
Only $50 Left of the 700 Sent Into

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 16-The govern

missing in the interior of Alaska for
several months, has at last reached the
Yukon and is on it's way to Belle Isle
or Circle City. Klondikers who have
just arrived here passed the herd be-
tween the Stewart and Indian rivers
on December II. The Laplanders in
charge said that they had been slowly
making their way across country to
the White river. On reaching that
stream they decided to no longer try
pushing direct to Circle City, but in

The others died on the trail. mostly
from starvation The remnant of the
herd is in poor condition, and hardly
half of them will live to reach Circle
City. They were making slow progress.

DR.. Sheldon Jackson, who persuaded
them to go north.
Two babies have been born to Lap
mothers on the way across the northern
SnOwhelds. They are rugged, healthy
little fellows and warmly clad in deer
hide. All of the deer born on the trip
were killed, as they could not be taken
care of. Many of the older deer have
been killed for food.

deer will be able to do any work this
winter. In their present condition they
can not make half the time of a good
dog team.

LOWER PRICES
Promised by Organizers of Linseed
Oil Trust

Cleveland. Jan. 16.-Mr. B. F. Miles
of this city, who has just been elected
president of the new Iinseed oil trust
which controls all of the larger nnseed
oil plants in the country. in discussing
the plans of the new organization to-
day, said: THE output of the trust will
continue about as it has been in the
featuring Independently. The great OBJ
tect is to steady the market and main
tain it on a solid basis and make it non
speculative. If anything prices will be
decreased rather than increased. The
combination will endeavor to increase
and systematic our trade with Eng
land and to get a better footing in the
markets of Honolulu and the West In

Mr.. Miles said that the capital stock
of the consolidated concerns would
reach $50, 0OO, 600.
