COTTON CROP PROSPECTS
In the Delta Poorer than Last Year
Yield Affected by Drouth.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. Is. = Capt. J. NJ.
Parchman, warden of the state pris-
sn, who has returned from careful
inspection trip through the MissIs-
sippI delta, reports that the cotton
crop prospect is the poorest he has
seen in years, and the yield will be
even less than that of last season
when the delta crop was seriously
affected by the drouth. Premature
opening of bolls is the chief cause of
the deterioration in the prospects
| which, only six weeks ago, were of a
most promising nature.

STRONGER CARS NEEDED

The appalling disaster on the Wa
bash which caused such heavy loss of
life involuntarily sets human inven-
ton at work. 1t is recognized that the
human equation must be taken into nc
count and that in spite of every pre-
caution employed accidents will occur
Men are bound to make mistakes. and
when they are dealing with destructive
agencies mistakes prove costly. Our
great volume of commerce. the thou
sands who ride daily in the cars on
business or pleasure bent. crowd the
railroads with traffic, and occasionally.
IN the midst of this mighty rush and
bustle, somebody blunders and calam-
ity follows.
In earlier days train Travelled at
slower speed, coaches were more fra
gle in construction. They were light
ed by kerosene lamps. They were
heated by car stoves. A slight colli-

coaches. The broken lamps poured
Kerosene over the combustible ruins.
and the deadly car stove communicated

the funeral pyre OF the manned and
imprisoned passengers.
The lamp gave place to the Pintscb

trains should meet, the cars would only
be tumbled about on the ground, like
so many strong boxes. In such q case
the passengers would have show for

Ways Of MiSerS


1t may not be entirely sanitary or
perfectly convenient to wear the same
petticoat eleven years without evsr
taking it off, but there are probably
many people who would do it for ST.
700. That is what Mrs. Lee of Jersey
City did, and now her son William,
who found the money after she died,
is trying by law to get it back from the
man he loaned it to. If he had fol-
lowed his mothers example and worn
the petticoat ne would have his money
still.
1t is not on record that the posses
sion of the money did Mrs. Lee any
good. She saved her earnings while
employed as a nurse in a hospital in
Baltimore and when she left she put
the money in a chamois bag and sewed
it into her petticoat. There she kept
it continually. night and day, for the
next eleven years, and when she was
dying she took the petticoat off, hand
ed it to her son, and said:
Here, William, is your heritage.
Search it well. 1t is worth more than
you would think"
William searched accordingly and
found the funds, but a willy man got
them away from him, and now he is
poor again.

unusual method of preserving her saw

squirrel in a park will catch peanut
from the hand of bystander, run
few steps. and hide it in the ground so
securely that the man who saw it hid
den cannot find the place whore it was

Harey b. MacLean, who lived in
Wheeling, w. Va, for many years. was
one of those who cannot find the hid
ing place again themselves. For the
first time in his life he was to leave
town. For some reason ne could never
explain he feared that his bank would
fail while he was gone, so he took the
money he had saved out of il and hid
it. That was the last time he ever saw
the money. though he broke down from
worry due to his search for it and died
u year later. He had not been in his
grave two days when his sons wife
began housecleaning. She found some
old shoes in a closet and had her hus
band try them on before throwing any
away. and in the toe of one he found
an obstruction. Sure enough, there
was the lost money-sS26 lS-rolled UP

witty Saying. of Famou. Men.

King Henry VII. of England was
one day much annoyed by a lont
speech delivered TO him by a pompous
mayor. AS the mayor went on with
his speech an ass brayed. Gentle
men," said the king, pray speak one
at time, please" The story must
have been in the mind of the judge
who twitted Curran, the Irish orator
Curran was addressing the court when
the bray OF an ass was heard outside
and the judge could not resist the
temptation of saying "one at a time
Mr.. Curran, please" But the ass gave
Curran his chance. AS the Judge
summed up the bray was again heard
and the great lawyer, jumping from
his seat asked the judge: Does moi
your lordship hear a remarkable echo
in the court?"
