Badly Hurt In n Runaway.

Fort Worth, Texas, February 1.-Yester-
day farmer named w. r.. Schenck and
his wife had very narrow escape from
almost instant death. They were return
ing home on heavy load of lumber and
when passing over the Trinity bridge Just
back of the county jail the team took
fright. In an effort to hold the animals,
Schenck fell off the wagon in front OF
the team and was kicked in the head by
one of the horses. The wagon also passed
over his right shoulder and breast. The
shoulder BLADE was dislocated and ho was
otherwise badly bruised. He is still in an
unconscious condition and will likely die.
Mrs, Sehenck camo near meeting the fate
OF her husband. She pitched forward but
checked her fall by catching to one of the
horses.

THE ADVANCE IN COTTON.


Tho Atlanta Journal uttors timely
enlarging the acreage of their cotton crops
on account of tho recent rise In tho price
OF cotton.
Frequently" says the Journal, cotton
goes up Just about tho time when farmers
are making their plans for the new yenr
aud apportioning their crops. Whether
this Is done by the tricks of the specula-
tors or is tho result Of temporary condi-
lions the effect 10 usually disastrous TO the
cotton producer, He has. as n rule, dis
posed OF most, IL rot all, OF his cotton be-
fore the rise occurs and he figures out how
much more II would have brought him at
the new price. Then no fondly imagines
that cotton is I'M to stay and resolves that
he will go In for 1t heavy"
The rally In prices OF cotton which. Us
tho Journal states, usually occurs after
nearly all the years production has passed
from the hands OF the farmer and he Ia
making ready to apportion his land for
another year. may be due to either OF the
causes stated In the extract quoted above,
but the late squirt upward may also BIO
with some measure Of reason attributed to
other possible causes such as n speculative
fever produced by the prospect OF late
planting for the ensuing year, or indica-
lions OF reduced acreage. Be this as II
may, 1t will be we'll for Southern farmers
to bear In mind that these rapid advances
nearly always occur when they have little
interest In the market. or course there
are fluctuations OF almost daily occurrences
nil through the selling season, and some
times steady advances continuing for days
or may be weeks. but they are not OF the
feverish, excitabe nature that has char
acterlzed the late transactions. The only
safe basis upon which to estimate the
profits OF cotton raising is to figure from
tho average prices that prevail during the
active market season. After the years
crop has passed into the hands of the
middlemcn all becomes speculation and the
prices quoted are apt to be misleading to
the farmer,
There Is nothing within reasonable view
to encourage the hope that cotton VIII
command better prices this year than 1t
did last. and the farmer Will be unfor-
tunate Indeed who permits tho operations
OF the bulls In Wall street and tho fictitious
advances thus caused In prices OF the
staple TO delude him into employing his
time and labor for tho year TO the produce

AFTER THE COURT MARTIAL.

While the verdict In the Eagan court
martial was handed down several days
ago. the Anal disposition OF tho matter
has not yet been announced. and may not
be known for several weeks. II ia not like
ly that Commissary General Eagan's OFF,
ciai superiors will make any great haste
In the matter, as under the elastic code OF
practice In military courts-murtial sew
eral red tape methods and proceedings can
yet be observed before the findings are
officially and finally recorded,
1t may be, therefore. that this matter
will have passed out OF tho public mind
before tho executive decision In rendered.
but. us the Philadelphia Record suggests,
this Eagan incident has merely constituted
In effect diversion from the main topic
OF popular interest and inquiry 10 conncc-
tion with tho controversy over the con-
duct Of the commissary department.

That is what tho American people want to
