Heavy Freights Collide on the
 Louisville and Nashville.

AOu1SV111c dOu 4NhSAVA14Os
 Louisville, Ky, Nov. 1.-Two heavy CT, collided in a dense fog near New Hope, Ky. on the Louisville division of tine Louisville and Nashville early today, kill ing six trainmen and injuring two, one probably fatally.
 The dead: Martin Graves. engineer; Maftin sConnor. engineer; Edward Sturges, engineer; John Reynolds. fireman; Will liam Lyden, fireman; John Leach, fire man.;
 The injured: R. E. Hume. head brake man; will probably die; Alb Winkler, head brakeman.
 The trains met on a reverse curve at the top of an embankment thirty feet high. The three engines were completely demolished and nearly every car of both trains landed at the foot of the hill. Fire soon broke out and fifteen cars of mcr- chandise were destroyed.
 Special relief trains were sent from this city and Lebanon and the bodies of the trainmen were recovered about 10 o'clock.
 Hume, who was the only one of the men alive under the wreckage, had his jaw torn off and was otherwise badly hurt.
 The corps of rescuers had after much difficulty taken Hume from under a car of coke, and were bringing him towards the special train, when carload of gum powder reached by the flames exploded with terrific force.
 Fortunately none of the rescuing party were injured. Brakeman WinkIer jump ed and was badly hurt.
 Passengers are being transferred around the wreck. It will be late this afternoon before the track can be cleared.

White Labor.

Washington Post
 To say that the cotton crops of the Mlssis- slppi bottoms pfolu largely or even wholly by negro labor is to throw very little light upon the situation Indeed. if 1t were proved that the cotton of all the alluvial low lands throughout the South. along with that of the Alabama and Mississippi black belts" is produced by negro labor. the fact would still remain that at least three -tifths of the total much more than half-moTe than two-thirds. we think-of our cotton is grown eh the uplands and produced by white labor The same is true of rice. excepting South Carolina. and. as things are going now, the sugar districts of Louisiana and Texas will, al no distant day. be operated by the Caucasian. It is not too much to say, indeed. that white labor is wtd- enIng its field of activity in the South with each succeeding year, and that Southern agri' culture is not in the very least dependent on the negro.
