SERIOUS ACCIDENT
NARROWLY AVERTED.

Pittsburg, Aug. 27-The third Sec
|tion of the Barnum & Bailey circus
train, composed almost entirely of
sleeping cars for performers, was
wrecked at Wildwood, Pa, on the
Pittsburg & Western railroad early to-
day and a serious accident narrowly
averted. AS this section of the train
was passing on the northbound track
freight train on the southland
track got beyond the control of the
crew, came dashing down the grade
and crashed into the rear sleeper,
damaging the car badly.

Denver & Rio Grande Wants to Put
in Long Switch.
It is understood that the Denver &
Rio Grande will try to secure the right
of way and the permission of the city
authorizes to construct and operate a
track on Water street. The object of
the proposed siding will be to afford
the merchants more convenient ar
rangement for the handling of their
shipments. The track as proposed
will extend from the Rio Grande rails
at the loot of Water street up that
thoroughfare to point in the rear of
the H. B. Cartwright & Bros. large
warehouse. The consent of the prop
erty owners, it is understood, is now
being sought for and the city council
will possibly soon be asked to grant
the franchise desired.

He was the pastor of the negro
Baptist church, and had succeeded
old Uncle Josh at his death ten
year before.
He bowed deferentiaIly, and
hat in hand, stood close TO the

"How's data" asked Ephraim

"Well, as long as l preach to

glory beyond this world, they shout
and sing. And when | jump on

are in glee. They like to see the

"De lawd, preacher, hits des de

Ephraim with a wink.
THAT'S so. But the difference
is your people talk back at me
after the meeting"
"How's dal?"Ephraim repeated
"Why, when | preach righteous
ness and judgment of the thief
and accuse them of stealing, l lose
my wood, and my corn and my
chickens"
Ephraim was silent a moment
and then he smiled as he said:
"Preacher,dey amt err niger in

"Yes, 1 know it. That's why
they steal from me so much"
"Go long wild 20 fun!' roared
Ephraim.
"You know you aiu't gone back

"Well, you are right, that isn't

SUM MARY OF CROPS
The Outlook for the Week Ending
May II, Much More
Promising.

Vlcksburg, May 13.-The mean
temperature averaged about four
degrees below normal. Generally
cloudy, showery weather prevailed
throughout the week with good
rains, except in the northern portion
of the state, where only light
showers occurred, Hail fell in sew
eral southwestern counties.
Owing to the abnormally low tenn
perature of the past four weeks and
to the very dry weather during April,
much early planted corn and cotton
have not come up to satisfactory
stands, and as result considerable
replanting has been done and some
is now in progress. Late paintings
are coming up nicely since the re-
cent copious showers, and IN many
localities conditions are greatly i'm
proved. Corn although small and
uneven is generally doing fairly
we'll, except on lowlands, where
worms are unusually damaging
considerable of the early planting
has received its first blowing. Very
little corn has been planted in the
overlooked districts. In the south
ern counties the early cotton that
survived. the cool, dry weather is
now being cultivated and chopped,
but as a rule, cotton is beginning to
come up and in many sections there
is still some planting to be done
The late planted cotton gives
promise of good stands. The staple
needs warmer weather, and in
the northeastern portion of the state
a good rain. Sugar cane is coming
up slowly. Melons and vegetable
crops are improving although cab
bage and beans have been materially
injured by dry weather. Pastures
are improving.

LONGING CRITICISES MONEY
In His Speech at Grenada Yester-
day in Regerd to His Views on
Race Problem.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May IA new feature
was injected into the senatorial cam
paign at Grenada yesterday by Gov
ernor Longino who severely criti-
clsed his opponent Senator Money,
for not having the proper regard for
consistency in his views on the race
problem. He pointed out the con-
trast between Senator Moneys
speech IN the senate on the Indian
ola incident, and the records where
in 1t is shown that he twice voted for
the confirmation of Minnie Cox as
postmistress. He declared that Sen
ator Money is trying to place hlm In
false light as a sympathizer with
the negress, reiterated his declara-
ton that the postoffice- should not
have been closed and stated that no
good whatever can be accomplished
by the agitation of the negro ques-
ton; that the negro is the main de-
pendence for labor in the south, and
to suggest special equality between
white and blacks, or the possibility
of such a condition of affairs, is
nothing short of ignorance.
According to reports, it has been
many years since a political contest
has attracted more attention than
the senatorial fight. Large crowds
attend the public speaklngs, and
many merchants close their stores
in order to be present.

general to conduct them in the SUI
preme court Fourth, all notes or
other obligations given for purchase
money be exempt from taxation; that
the owner of solvent credits be al
lowed to Offset them with his own
debts, and pay taxes only on the ex-
cess of solvent credits; that merchants
and manufacturers should not be taxed
on solvent credits arising out of their
business, so long as they pay their
taxes on the capital invested in bust
ness.
These are my views crudely ex-
pressed and they may be of little or
no value, further than to stimulate
fuller and more critical examination
of this innovation upon the financial
methods employed by our state.
I feel deep and abiding interest
in the happiness and prosperity of the
people of the state, and those can not
be better conserved than by removing
every disturbing element from all the
fields of industry and human en-
deavor, and maintain at every cost,
the financial honor and integrity of
our beloved state.
