Prof. Holmes Address Before

Mr.. franklin Sherman's illustrated Talk on In
sects. The Annual Flee ion of
Officers.

The State Horticultural Society met
here yesterday. The work of the after
noon meeting was the annual election of
ofcers and the transaction of routine
business. The officers elected were:
President, j. Van Lindley, Pomona.
Vice President, O. w. Blacknall, Kit

Secretary Treasurer, Franklin Sherman,
Raleigh.
District Vice Presidents: w. l.. Baxter.

The society decided to request that in
future the premiums offered at the State
Fair for apples be by varieties instead or
by collections.
Last night the society had a public
meeting in the agricultural auditorium
and the audience was entertained by talks
by Mr.. Franklin Sherman, State Etymolo-
gist, and Prof. j. A. Holmes, State Geolo-
gist. Both of these discourses were illus
trated by excellent stereoptican views of
objects photographed from life.
The subject chosen by Prof. Holmes
was THE Forest and Fruit Possibilities
of Western North Carolina" He spoke
of the difference between the barren
mountains elsewhere and the forested
mountains of North Carolina, and showed
that the development of the mountain
section depended upon the preservation of
the forests. If they were destroyed the
soil would be washed from the mountains
leaving only rugged rock He strongly
advocated a vast national forest reserve
as essential at this time. The future
of the western counties, he believed,
should be in using the mountain cones
for apple orchards. raising stock forestry
and securing tourists. Proper transporta-
ton facilities are necessary for this de-
velopment The stereopticon views with
which he demonstrated his points were
excellent Prof. Holmes estimates the
damage done by the freshets last May
at $4,000, 0G0 in Western Carolina.
Secretary of the Board of Agriculture
T. X Bruner then exhibited some of the
fruit specimens and pictures to be placed
in this States exhibit at Charleston and
they were much admired. Mr. Bruner be-
lievcs that there are fourteen counties ~

THE STAKE FOR RAPE
Bill Morris BIazes For AS
sau|ting Mrs Ball.
He Dies WITH the Stoicism Of an Indian, Say
ing That He Deserves His
Fate.
(By the Associated Press.)

Columbia. Miss, Oct. 24.-The negro
Bill Morris, who assaulted Mrs. John
Ball. at Balltown, was burned at the
stake today After being captured he
made an effort to implicate, others, but
they proved their innocence.
Morris was taken to the scene of his
crime and chained to pine sapling.
His hands and feet were bound to his
body Pine knots and pine straw were
piled about the body and saturated with
coal oil and the match applied.
The negro made no cutlery when the
flames first reached him and only when
he was partly consumed did the specta-
tors notice any movement on the part
of the wretch. He made no resistance
when being bound to the stake and said
that he deserved his fate.
Morris beat his victim on the head
with a pine knot and thought he had
killed her. Going back to Balls store,
he took ali the change in the cash
drawer He then put coal oil on his
feet and also on his tracks when leav-
ing the store.
Mrs. Ball. however, recovered. con-
seriousness and crawled to her father
in-law's house He at once gave the
alarm and the neighborhood commenced
a search for the negro. He was found
at his home about four miles from the
scene of the tragedy and in trying to es-
cape was shot by one of the posse and
wounded in the hip.

MRS. TAYLOR ESCAPES SERIOUS INJURY
(By the Associated Press.)

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Oct. 24.-Minnie
Edison TAYLOR, so years old, went over
Niagara Falls on the Canadian side
this afternoon and survived, a feat never
before accomplished and indeed never
attempted except in the deliberate
commission of suicide. She made the
trip in barrel
Not only did she survive, but she es-
capped without broken bone, her only
apparent injuries being scalp wound
IL inches long, a slight concussion of
the brain, some shock to her nervous
system and bruises about the body.
She was conscious when taken out of
the barrel The doctors in attendance
upon her tonight said that though she
was somewhat hysterical, her condition
is not at all serious and that she prob
ably will be out of bed within few
days.
Mrs. Taylor's trip covered a mile ride
through the Canadian rapids before she
reached the brink of the precipice Her
barrel was twirled and toppled and buff
feted through those delirious waters,
but escaped serious contact with rocks.
AS it passed through the smoother,
swifter waters, that rushed over into
the abyss it rode in an almost perpen-
dicular position with it's upper half
out of the water. Over the brink it rode
at an angle of about as degrees on the
quieter surface of the deluge and descend
ed to the white foaming waters, 1853
feet below
True to her calculations the anvil
fastened to the bottom of the barrel
kept it foot downward and SO it land
ed. The ride through the rapids oc-
cupied IS minutes
The barrel could not be seen as it
struck the water below, because of the
spray, but in less than half a min
ute after it passed over the brink it
was seen on the surface of the scum
covered water below the falls 1t was
carried swiftly down to the Maid of
the Mist landing, caught in an eddy
and held there until it fioated SO close to
the shore that it was reached by means
of pole and hook and drawn in upon
the rocks.
Ten minutes later the woman was
lifted from the barrel and half an hour
later she lay on cot at her boarding
place in First street in Niagara Falls
On the American side. She thanked God
she was alive, thanked all who had
helped her in any way, said she would
never Go it again. but that she was not
sorry she had done it, eff it would help
her financially
She said she had prayed all during
the trip, except during "a few mo-
ments" of Inconsistencies just after
her descent.
The barrel in which Mrs. Taylor made
the journey is Az feet high and about
3 feet in diameter. A leather harness
and cushions inside protected her body.
Air was secured through rubber tube
connected with small opening near the
top of the barrel.
Mrs. Taylor is school teacher and
recently came here from Bay City,
Michigan.

were probably fatally hurt, five were
seriously, and number of others
slightly injured today in the wreck of a
Chicago, Burlington and Kansas City
passenger train near EXline, Iowa, six
ty miles from here.
The train, while running rapidly left
the rails and plunged down a forty foot
embankment.
The train consisted of engine, passen-
ger coach. mail car and combination
car. Thirty passengers were on the
train and number received slight in
juries. How the casualty list failed to
reach alarming proportions is a mys.
terry, as the cars were reduced to Q
complete wreck. The cause of the acct
dent is thought to be spreading of the
rails. owing to a softened condition OF
the roadbeds.
