from the topper Era
Quite serious accident hap,
pened to the section crew on this
end of the division Friday last,
The hand car rounded the curve
and before the men knew it they
ran into Stag train which was
standing on the track, There
were four Mcxicans on the car
One of them had a leg broken, and
another fell into Stag car and
sustained some ugly burns on his
head and neck. The other two
were slightly injured.
On Thursday last Mrs, Pedro
Garcia and two other Mexican
women started to cross a railroad
bridge about five miles below town.
The work train had just passed
and had stopped few hundred
yards below below the bridge, and
after discharging some material
the engineer blew the whistle, and
STATED down the road. The
women had reached the middle OF
the bridge when the whistle blew.
Mrs. Garcia supposing that the
train would return became greatly
excited, and soon became uncon.
scious. The two women who
we're accompanying her, tried to
carry her across the bridge, and
were soon joined by two men By
the time they got the poor woman
across the bridge she was quite
dead. Judge Wright empannelcd
eoroner's jury, which rendered a
verdict to the effect that death was
the result of natural causes. 1t
was stated that she had been sub,
Ject to heart trouble for several
years.
A young Mexican with a so jag
and new gun ran amuck at Met
calf one evening last week and is
now serving six months in jail at
Solomonville. He started from
Metcal to Coronado soon after
dark, got the drop on the night
watchman and after having some
fun with him proceeded up the
track and soon met the train from
Coronado. He turned loose his
gun and broke the lantern Of the
first brakeman, and when the
second brakeman came along be
broke his lantern also. The train
was backing down the grade and
as the engine passed he shot the
light out of the engines headlight,
On the following morning he was
arrested at Coronado by Constable
George Burkner and was taken
before Justice Shirley for trial
The boy seemed to think he had
committed no crime, and said he
only wanted to try his gun and
have u little fun with the train
crew. Judge Shirley took a diff
ferent view of the matter and gave
the young man six months IN the
county Jail By that time he will
probably get ovei his jag" and
begin to realize that having q
httle fun with the tram crew is q
pretty serious business.

Answer-It is undoubtedly case of

well. This Is produced by so many caus IS
The Atlanta constitution., 1900-01-15

that ! can only enumerate some of them,
that you may be able TO surmise which
one is the active agent in the case. They
are Indigestion produced by drinking cold
water when heated, or eating 1ndgestible
substances, Inflammation, disease of liver,
pancreaS. stone or halr-ball in the inteS-
tines. In certain susceptible states OF
the animals system (which may be con-
stitutionaD slight Indigestion. or a
draught of cold water after eating, or
while heated from work. will cause spas
modic collie. More rarely. but not alto
gether improbable I'm your case. there is
an obstruction in the bowels in the shape
of a dust-ball. or hair-b al, or conCretion

Maturity of Notes.

J. +. Grimsley, Alexandria City. Ala
! For many years before the war Decem-
Der - was the PAYDAY for al debts Now
il is very different. They begin to waive,
/ ana they waive all lands, stock, corn
/ cotton and everything that a man has
and many times more and the notes are
made payable October 18th. What IS
the cause of this difference? Is it tha:
there are more dishonest men than
formerly?
Answcr-It Is due to several causes, the
chief among them being the destruction
of our labor system and the impoverish-
ment Of the people of our section as the
result Of the civil war. In those times
the real wealth Of this southern country
was not in the cities. but In the country,
and it was a very prevailing custom for
| business men in the cities to borrow
money from the weil-to-do farmers.
Another cause is the degenerate sys-
tenn of farming under which the farmers
have been speculative farmers. practicing
the folly Of making all the cotton they
possibly can and buying corn. bacon, flour
and other things that they ought to pro-
duce and did formerly produce I'm plenty
Another cause IS the heavy weight
and burden of taxation in the form of
tariH and internal revenue charges, to
make up the immense pension expenses
OF the government. etc. All these and
+ people poor. The competition of the
negro who wants but little in the way of
comforts ana luNuries and can. therefore,
Z i've ON cotton at cents, while the white
man would starve or live like a peas
ant.
10 these causes may be added the great
/ craze Tor getting rich on the one hand,
or to Keep from going To the poor house
ON the other hand, has dried up I'm great
/ measure the milk of human Kindness
and darkened the spirit of generosity and
/ forbearance. Most of the legislation OF
/ our congress is i'm the interest of the
monopOlist, the bondholder, the money
kings of the country. There is a great
/ prelense of sympathy for the producir<
masses Ct the people and occasionally
they get a crust of legislation and great
/ basketful of promises for the future,
which are never forthcoming.
/ The development of errors that are
/ fundamental in our economic and indus
! trial conditions has also greatly magnified
the difficulties that embarress the masses
of the pecple-especially the farmers and
the wage earnerS.

4. Would IL pay to sow amber SEED
broadcast for stock to Craze on?
Answer. If you intend planting the
corn stubble land in cotton it would be
advisable to gather the cornstalks in
piles and burn them. But 1t would have
been the proper thing TO have harvested
your corn by the method described In
last weeks issue under the head OF
Harvesting Corn and ShreddnG the
Stalks" But if the land is to be planted
I'm corn. IL is doubtful if the stalks would
be sufficiently troublesome to Justify the
labor of heaping and burning and the
loss OF the vegetable matter to the soil.
.. Cotton seed sown broadcast would do
very well for cabbage. but better still Of
some acid phosphate and potash be added,
say To every - bushels of seed add 600
pounds of kainit. or 100 pounds of muriate
OF potash and 600 pounds of acid phos-
phate. The foregoing amounts would do
very Well for one-half to one acre of
pretty rich SOIL The kainit and cotton
seed could be applied at once and the
acid phosphate when planting the garden,
but YOU should have some more active
form Df nltrOScnOus matter than cotton
seed To apply in the drill, under the seeds
or plants, at planting.
