Patterson says the crop situation is
daily growing more serious In North
Carolina. In most section no farm
work has been one in a week on more.
The commissioner today a a letter
from New Orleans making inquiries
regarding the crop of COY peas in this
state New orleans is the chief market
for these. Mr.. Patterson says tina in
North Carolina more peas are planted
for use as food for man n as forage
than in other states, as south of here
they are more largely planted as q
fertilizer. 1t is a very important crop
in this state. The acreage his year
will no doubt be great, and with a late
fall a valuable food supply can be thus
provided.

CAUGHT NEGRO ON HIS ENGINE.
A Central Train Might Have Been
Wrecked

Gilmore Davis, an AmerIcus negro,
was pulled from a Central Railroad en-
CINE here last night and may answer
to such serious charge as attempted
train wrecking.
Only the fact that the sengine was
dead prevented catastrophe.
Davis works on a baggage wagon
and is familiar with affairs about
the depot yards. Last night he de-
cided upon more exciting ride.
Engine 1921, shlfter, was in the
yard, with steam at very low pres,
sure. 1t was just as the Columbus
train was coming in that Davis exc,
cuted his "brilliapt' feat and came
near causing head end wreck.
Mounting the locomotive, he pulled
the throttle wide open.
There was hiss of escaping steam,
but the pressure was not sufficient to
move the big engine. Davis was ar
rested and locked up, and cannot ex-
plain satisfactorily what he was doing
on the engine.
Had the engine been fred up it
would have dashed into the Columbus
train then descending sharp grade
above the depot.
