Frost and Rocks.

A very curious thing is the cracking
of the earth in severe cold and the
way in which rocks and clods are re-
duced to powder by frost Water when
it freezes expands with irresistible
force. Consequently anything contain
ing water is rent asunder when that
water turns to ice. In this way rocks
are rapidly worn down. Chalk holds
more water than most other forms of
soil, and that is why the roads in
chalky countries are usually in such
shocking condition when a thaw fol
lows q frost.

FREICHTS COLLIDE,
DELAYING TRAINS.
Iron Monsters on Central Come
Together.
DAMAGE is NOT CONSIDERABLE.
Locomotives and Several Cars Were
Wrecked But There Was No Loss of
Life. Other Trains Were Delayed
Two Hours

A head end collision between two
freight trains one mile north of Byron
yesterday morning wrecked the loco
motives and number OF loaded cars,
blocked the track and delayed both the
morning trains for Americus two hours.
The scene of the wreck was near the
16 mile post and both trains were badly
damaged, locomotives coming together
with great force. Beyond the slight
injury of colored fireman no one was
reported hurt, the crews of both trains
escaping harm. Thelocomotiyes, Nos.
1910 and 1913, were badly broken up.
The blocking of the track caused de-
lay in the schedules of all Southwest
ern trains out of Macon The Limited,
due in Americas at l 40 p. M, did not
leave Macon until that hour, while the
regular passenger, No. s. due here ct 2
m, came IN two hours later. The
wreck was cleared shortly after midday
and all traffic resumed.

HIGH PROVISIONS
SOLVE PROBLEM.
Means That Less Cotton Is Going to
Be Planted
THE CHOPPERS QUIT BUSINESS
They Cannot Buy Provisions at Pres
emit Prices and Will Work for
Wages-In This Way, as in Others,
Acreage Will Be Reduced.

If the situation about Americas OBJ
tains over Georgia the cotton acreage
this year will be far short of that of
last season. This will be due very
largely to the exhorbitant price charg-
ed for provisions sold on credit, which
puts the negro "cropper" out of bust
ness and forces him to work for wages
There IS no profit in six cents cotton
when fifteen cents meat must be
bought by the cropper, to say nothing
of 81 % corn and other foodstuffs in
proportion. All sorts ofIfood supplies,
as is well known, have gone up in
some cases so per cent or more above
what they were last year. The result
is, the cropper, in many cases, cannot
make enough on the land usually
worked by one man or one family to
pay for his advances and for the rent
of the land In other words, he can
not get enough food advanced him to
keep him going. The result of this is
going to be that troopers will hire
themselves out ather than take hold
of land to work it for themselves.
THIS means that great deal of land in
Georgia, as we'll as other states of the
south, is going to lie idle this year.

INNEs CONCERT WAS ENJOYED.
Americas Gave Him an AppreciatiYe
Audience

Social Americus and music loving
people from several adjoining towns
enjoyed a rare treat Yesterday after
noon. The occasion was the magniti-
cent concert by Times the Band at the
Opera House.
The house was we'll filled and could
the performance have been repeated.
doubtless there would have been a
larger crowd in attendance at night.
AS it was the audience was enraptured
with the superb music and after each
number there was burst of applause,
loud and continuous, which showed
how highly the rendition was enjoyed.
'Tnnes Band" will be long remem-
bered here. Only long and arduous
labor on the part of the director, and
persistent practice and hard stQdy,
combined with natural talent to an I'M
usual degree on the part of its individ
ual members, could have brought it to
such perfection. The solos were
especially fine and the passages by the
full band were the soul of harmony.
The quartette of vocalists, consist
ing of Signora Adele Borghi, who is
known as the Italian Carmen" Miss
Frances Boyden, Signor Edgardo
Zerni and Achille Albert, rendered
selections from grand opera in man
ner fully up to the highest musical

Prof. W. G. Toole died yesterday
morning at the residence of his brother

quite shock to his family and friends.

a teacher in one of the county schools
and was very we'll known in Americus
and vicinity. He was about thirty five
years of age and the only son of the
late Col. W. T. Toole, of Sumter. A
