BY studying on a map OF Brazil you
can see that the Para river extends
almost due west, south OF the island
OF Marajo, to q network OF narrow
streams, known as the Passes, which
connect the Para with the Amazon.
These numerous channels are from 70
TO 150 yards in width, and some of
them are navlgable for vessels Of 1S
to 20 feet draught These passes are
interesting enough to those traversing
them In small craft, but to the officers
and sailors OF such steamers as the
United States ship Wilmington they
are trebly so. At night there Is little
to arrest the attention other than the
weird, dark shapes of the banks,
which ever seem close aboard, The
land being low and fiat, and the trees
near the waters edge, 1t seems as II
the ship has forsaken her natural ele-
ment and Is running overland on in
visible wheels. When daylight comes
in sudden burst Of light like the un-
heralded fash of the theater's illuml-
nation, there Is revealed on each side
OF the narrow channel the forests
solid wall, exposing to view pano-
rama Of overhanglng vines, OF creep
ers and foliage and branches brilliant
with the multitudinous hues Of tropl-
cal vegetation, There is strange
chatterlng OF animal life and whirr
of winged insects The discordant
cries Of myriad parrots echo from the
trees. There Is human life, too, Here
and there embowered In the jungle
can be seen little wooden huts, with
thatched roofs and sides open to the
cooling Winds, These are the houses
Of the rubber gatherers, who labor day
In and day out collecting the milky
sap OF the Hevea brasillensls, This
rubber gathering Is interesting, and
the Wilmlngton's crew watch curious
ly as the winding channel reveals lit
tie groups Of natives at work along
the edge of the stream. Those on
board who have read the descriptions
tell others of the manner in which the
half-naked Indians labor, OF how each
family works what is called an "es-
trada," or street, path through the
forest, which embraces as many rub
ber trees as can be conveniently tend
ed, OF how these trees are slit with a
machete and a cup fitted in the cut to
catch the sap, and OF the manner In
which the ownes makes his daily
round and brings to his hut the col
lected Juice. There Is also interest
in the description Of It's next stage,
when the sap is dipped up by stick
and revolved over smoky fire, The
smoke causes each layer to coagulate
on the stick, and when the desired
amount is formed 1t is removed and
made ready for shipment. These balls
OF crude rubber usually weigh in the
neighborhood OF twenty-five pounds,
and are of dark, lustrous hue. 1t

A HEAO-ON COLLISION.
Continued from First Page.

Asheville and Salisbury ar
rived at the scene of the COLI
sion at I o'clock and by day.
light Tuesday morning the
track was clear. So firmly
welded together were the two
wrecked freight engines that
it took seven hours work with
four engines to get them a.
part. A dozen big chains
were broken with two engines
pulling in opposite directions
before the engines were fn-
ally disconnected.
The wounded men have all
been taken to their homes and
are reported as improving.
No 4ISos
When the news of the acct
dent reached town there was
much excitement and large
crowds of our people visited
the scene of the wreck.
The crash when the two
trains came together and the
noise of the escaping steam
was heard at the depot in
Morganton.
Mr.. w. A. Townsend, of
Morganton, was a passenger
on the local freight. He got
a severe shaking up, but was
soon alright again.
Mr.. ]. w. Martin, with his
kodak, got views of the wreck
from several points.
Passengersont the afternoon
mail train, which reached
Morganton at 5 o'clock Mon
dav afternoon, remained in
Morganton all night, their
train going east the next
morning. The sleeper was
sent via Spartanburg.

Linville Church.
The seventh annual meet
ing of the Burke County Sun
day School Association was
held at Linville church on
Wednesday and Thursday of
this week. There was a good
attendance, both of delegates
and others, and the good peo-
pie of that section. as is al
WAYS the case with them, en-
tertained the visitors in royal
style. At the dinner hour a
long table in the grove near
the church was laden with
everything nice to eat and no
one went away hungry.
It was our pleasure to at
tend on Thursday and hear
the excellent speeches on
Sunday school work by Mes
srs. w. F. HALLIBURTON, John
and Jake Patton, H. O. Houk
and Revs. Thornwell Jacobs
and John A.. Williams. The
singing was also good. The
convention song-"Let a Lit
tie Sunshine In"-was par
ticularly we'll rendered.
Mr.. I. T. Avery, who takes
a great deal of interest in
Sunday schools and to whose
efforts is largely due the sue
cess of the county Sunday
school association, was re-
elected president of the or
ganization, as we'll as we're all
of the other officers of last
year.
Another interesting feature
of Thursdays exercises was
the thanksgiving service at
3 p. m. It reminded one of an
old-fashion Methodist love
feast.
We believe the county Sun
day schoolassociation is doing
a great amount of good and it
should have the hearty sup
port Of all the people. The
next meeting of the associa-
ton will be held at Erwin's
Chapel, two and a half miles
north of Morganton.
