That was 4 terrible wreck which
occurred on the Southern railroad
near McDonough, Ga, Saturday
night last. 1t caused the loss OF
more lives than any wreci, that has
occurred in the South in long time.
Every person on the train excepting
few passengers iE the pullman were
killed. The crash came without II
moments warning during heavy
rain storm. An embankmcnt had
washed away and the track had been
left suspended, and the train went
crashing to the swollen stream below
at full speed. The forward coaches
were completely wrecked and flooded
with water, and the bodies could he
seen floating out in the stream as the
wreckage went to pieces. The pas
sengers in the pullman had narrow
escape as the car was caught and lef,
swinging by the rear end from the
abutment. The wreckagc soon took
fire and the CHASTITY sight wa soor
lit up by the flames. Nothing could
be done for those in the wreck who
must have been killed instantly, or
drowned, as not single cry was
heard from the poor unfortunates
There were ten persons rescued from
the pullman coach, while the engi-
ncer, fireman train crew and thirty
passengers met horrible death, not
"ne escaping to tell the story.
The stories told by the rescued
parties are horrifying.
The superintendent speaking of the
deplorable affair, says:
ut can only be explained as one
OF the inevitable acts Of God 1t
seems that it was the result OF a ter
rifle rain storm or cloud burst, some
thing similar to that which caused
the Johnston flood. The accident
occurred at deep narrow creek,
which had become so suddenly and
so completely filled that the volume
OF water carried such weight as 20

brick from under the trestle, which
spanncd the stream"

With our war in the Philippines,
the British in the Transvaal and
china against the world, there is
surely enough war news to satisfy
all. 1t looks like the time is fast ap-

up by the powers, there is going TO
be squabble over the division Of the
spoils if VIC are not very much mis-

companied by the statement that the
| figures are subject to official revision?
Labor has been given n new repre-
sentative on the Industrial Commits
sion-Mr. Charles III. Lithman, OF
| New Jersey, who has been appointed
to succeed Mr.. NJ. b. Ratchford, re-
signed. Mr.. Litchman has been
prominent in labor organizations for
| twenty-five years, having served as
Gen. Secretary of the Knights Of
1886 to 1888.
According to Judge NJ. Il. Hitch
cock, of Seattle, Washington, the
crops Of that State are Il determining
political factor. He said: "The out
come OF the wheat crop and the hop
crop will have no little influence upon
the rural vote. The outlook for the
wheat crop is good. On the other
hand, hops aro bringing only four
and one-half cents pound and it
costs five cents to raise them. Some
months ago the farmers could have
made contracts to sell their crops at
| fourteen cents a pound but refused
because they thought they were 60
| ing to receive more
A report to the Department of
State, from +. l.. Harris, u. S. Con
sular agent at Eibenstock, serves to
call attention to the fact that Eng
land will be Il long ways from domi-
mating South Africa when the Bo9r
republics become British territory.
1t says: German South West Az
RIGA is probably the most important
Of all German colonies. 1t has ter
ritory two and onehalf times larger
than Prussia and possesses climate
similar to that OF the Transvaal and
Cape Colony. The development of
this colony depends somewhat upon
circumstances. A great portion re-
mains unexplorel. The port of Swa-
llopmund, together with Waliisch
Bay, forms the finest harbor on the
west coast OF Africa. 1t is probably
destined to outstrip Cape Town in
time; for with railroad through TO
Pretoria and steamship lines to Eu
rope and America, Cape Town will
lose an immense amount of traffic
destined for the interior Of Africa"

"The price OF wheat continues to
soar. July contracts closed on the
Chicago market last Saturday at SO
cents, an advance Of Il on the day
before, II cents higher than on the
previous Saturday, and 90 cents
higher than three weeks ago. 1t is
claimed that the advance is due to
natural conditions rather than to
speculation, a principal feature being
the fact that the Dakotas and Min
nesota, which last year harvested
200, 100000 bushels of wheat, will
this year harvest not more than 73,-
600, 900. Flour has risen from 81 to
81 % barrel, and there is as yet no
apparent weakening OF the upward
tendency. 1t looks as if our York
county farmers have this year struck
it just about right. ."-Yorkville En-
quirer.
Same way in our county Brother,
our farmers made lucky hit when
they devoted so much Of their land
to wheat growing. We hopo they
will profit hereafter by this years 8
experience. 1t makes our farmers
smile to know they will have plenty
OF bread no matter where the price
goes.

The recent rains have not been Of
a local nature. The reports in the
papers show that they have been gen.
cral and many rivers have got out of
banks and played havoc with crops
and property. Houses have been
swept from their, foundations, many
people injured, but fortunately no
lives lost. Crops along river bottoms
in Alabama and Georgia are total
loss. Cloud-bursts, floods and lorna
does have done great damage in Geor-
gia.

A GOOD YIELD.

Our versatile correspondent, Mr..
rhos. III. Gore, records n very fine
yield Of wheat made in his section by
Mr.. "Gist' Prince, he planted only
three pecks Of wheat on an acre and
the yiel: was 30 bushels. He used
two sacks Of guano and 10 bushels of
cotton seed. He used variety OF
wheat that Mr.. J. ID. Graham plants.
Mr.. Gore says we are familiar with
that wheat bread. YeS, we have sam
pied the kind OF bread Mr., Graham's s
wheat makes, and if we could get that
flour all the time we would use very
little Of the foreign patent stuff, and
we believe there are many others.
We need more roller mills in this
county. If there were roller mills
established conveniently about the
country it would be an incentive for
the farmers to grow more wheat and
the great advance Of flour, Of which
the markets for the last three weeks
is an example, would cut very little
ice with our farmers, or our town
citizens either, as they would gladly
bay Of our farmers if they had the
opportunity to DO so, and we sincere
ly hope to see the day, in the near
future, when the farmers will have
plenty Of home raised flour for their
own use and to sell.
The above illustration bears out
the idea OF not sowing wheat too
thick. The best yield seems to come
from about three pecks to The acre.

Chinese army numbering 260, 900
men. This immense force has n
strong array of artillery Of tho latest
models, great number Of improved
rifles and practically unlimited sup
ply Of ammunition.
Thus equipped they will offer de.
termined and desperate resistance to

force to take Pekin, there will, no

lost in l.. n eantime. The Chinese
are desper. c in their hatred to for
