by the high price of tobacco, while the

FROM WASHINGTON

His Services.
He COMES TOMORROW
Will Investigate the Disease Among
the Horses.
Mr.. PATTERSON is NOT RESPONSIBLE
He Was in the Mountains and Was Not Informed
of the Condition of Affairs in the
Counties Infected by the
Disease.

In course of letter to a member of the
News and Observer staff Congressman
Small says:
Il was in Washington, d. c. yesterday
and called on the Secretary of AgriculI-
ture and DR.. ID. e. Salmon, Chief of Blu
reau of Animal Industry, and laid before
them the facts concerning the disease
among the horses in Hyde and other coun-
ties. They seemed interested and prom
ised to send an expert veterinarian down
if they could possibly spare one. They
promised to telegraph me here CWeldon)
today, if they could do so. l have just
received a telegram from DR.. Salmon as
follows:
viii send good man down to inves-
tigate diseases among horses tomorrow.
Use as you see fit. -
Commissioner of Agriculture Patterson
last night returned from the Western
part of the State, where he has been for
month engaged in holding Farmers In
tsitutes.
To q News and Observer reporter he
expressed great regret at the loss the
people of the East have sustained from
disease among their horses. He adds:
Il have been in the extreme West much
of the time away from railroads and tele-
graph lines, and getting my mails very
irregularly. Hence / have known moth
ing about the trouble since l sent Dr.
Petty to Hyde county. | therefore sup
posed that the disease had abated, until
this week l saw in the News and Observer
an interview with Mr.. Charles F. War
rem in which it was stated that horses
were still dying rapidly. About the same
time l received from Secretary Bruner,
through a special messenger, letter ask
ing that DR.. Butler be sent TO the East
He started at once for Dare county, and
is now operating in that section.
To-day also after learning of the real
conditions existing there, | wrote to DR..
Salmon, at Washington, and asked him to
send an expert veterinarian here to as
sist us in stamping cut the disease.
II expect Dr. Butler to stay in the in
fected counties as long as he can do any
good there and l shall myself likely
go down there in few days to see what
can be done to prevent further loss of
property"
Mr. Patterson says the Institutes have
been very largely attended and the in
terest shown greater than he has ever
before known.
The last one was held at Shelby on
Friday, and was attended by a grea.
many of the best farmers of the county.
Though the Institutes were at many
places seriously interferred with by rain,
they have, on the whole been most salts

1t is just possible that Institutes will

The only possible excuse that the back

that the Constitution got the worst of

worst of the start, because her skipper

tute 34.9 per cent of the whole number
OF persons of school age and comprise
chiefly persons of negro descent
Males of voting age are substantially
all Of native birth, only six-tenths OF
one per cent of the whole number be-
ing of foreign birth. Among males OF
voting age as a whole, there is a con
siderable proportion of illiterates, the
percentage being 29.4. This somewhat
large percentage is due principally tC
the presence among males of voting age
of a large number of illiterate persons
Of negro descent.
The figures are as follows:
Children of school age, 1926, of whom
$50 are foreign born, 263, O44 cofored. 81,

Kalispell, Mont, Aug. 31.--Thirty- six

80 miles west of Kalispell last night.
None of the passengers was injured,
the fatalities having been confined to en-
ployos Of the railroad company.
The dead are:

ntendent of the Great Northern lines

KIRK T.. DOWNS, his son.
HENRY BLAIR, cook aboard the private
car Of Mr.. Downs.
Thirty three Scandinavian laborers,
names unknown.
The injured are:
Thirteen Scandinavian laborers, names
unknown.
The wreck was caused by the breaking
in two of a freight train on the steep
grade of a Rocky Mountain foothill. The
rear end of the freight tore loose from
the head, and, dashed backward down
the mountain and crashed into the rear
end OF the passenger train which was
just pulling out of the station at Nyack.
The car attached to the rear end of the
passenger was the private coach of Sup
erintendent Downs. He and his son,
Kirk, and their cook Henry Blair, were
instantly killed. The car just ahead
contained 46 Scandinavian laborers en-
route from Duluth, Mimi, to Jennings.
They were killed wholesale. Only thir-
teen We're taken from the debris alive.
Fire Immediately following the collision
quickly destroyed the private car, Gre
mating the bodies of those within. The
flames were quickly communicated to the
car ahead, or rather, to what remained
of it, and the bodies of 2S of the unfor-
tunate laborers also were cremated. The
third car from the rear also was burned
but those within managed to escape
when the collision first occurred The
fire continued to spread through. the mass
of debris caused by the destruction of the
dozen or more freight cars and their
consignments of valuable freight.
Finally, the passenger train was cut in
two between the third and fourth cars
:. from the rear and the balance was drawn
to safe distance from the fire. All
telegraph wires on the poles alongside
the track were soon melted and COM
munication was thus cut off soon after
the collision.
Physicians were taken to the scene from
this city and all traffic was for a time
suspended, while the wreck and train
crews endeavored to rescue the bodies OF
the dead and clear up the debris.
