1t is "a foregone conclusion that the
cotton crop this year will be an excep-
tionally large one, at least 1000 900
bales in excess of last year. 1t is also
a fact that there is a scarcity of labor
in the cotton states at picking time.
Putting these two things together,
some pessimists have jumped to the
conclusion that a lot of the cotton lint
must necessarily be permitted to go to
waste this year: that there will not be
labor enough to harvest it.
Some few years ago, when cotton
was selling for five cents and less per
pound, a lot of it was left ungathered
in the fields. to be beaten out of the
bolls by the rain and blown about by
the winds At that time there was no
profit in gathering the cotton. But 1t
is not likely that such a condition will
prevail again for many years, if ever.
The world needs a larger supply of
cotton than it has received for two or
three years. 1t is estimated that H.,
100000 bales from America will be
needed this year to restore the statis-
teal equilibrium. That means the price
will be nigh enough to afford the grow
ers reasonable profit. And when
there is a profit in cotton, growers are
not apt to let any of 1t go to waste in
the fields They may find it necessary
to pay higher rate for picking than
has been customary, and the raising of
the cotton picking rate of pay will at
tract to the fields sufficient quantity
of labor to make the harvest complete.
There is in the South a large floating
best pay is offered. 1t is not the most
reliable labor in the world, to be sure,
but 1t can be made to do when nothing
better offers.
When wheat is selling at a profita-
BILE price the farmers of the West al
ways find a way to get it harvested.
We do not recall that any profitable
crop has ever been permitted to go to
waste in the fields. in any part of the
country. And so it will prove in the
case of cotton this year. The scarcity
Of labor may be apparent but some
means will be found to meet the emer-
gency. AS the world demands more
cotton, the South will raise it; and SO
long as the world will pay a profitable
| price for It, the South will not only
raise but harvest and market the crop.

A new ray is reported from Vi
emma. We have become pretty familiar
with the literature of the x-ray for
cancer, the violet ray for lupus, the
red ray for Photography. This new
conner upon the scientific fashion plate
is the blue ray for use as an anes-
thetic in dentistry. 1t is claimed that,
no matter how many little devils may
be hammering the nerve of a tooth,
three minutes exposure of the eye of
the sufferer to the blue ray will kill
the pain, and then the dentist may
go ahead with his various instruments
of torture and work his sweet will in
the formerly aching mouth without
the patient feeling so much as a twinge
or desire to kill somebody.

It is evident that something i'm
portant has occurred at Port Arthur.
Just what it is we shall have to wait
day or two to learn. Dispatches
from Russian sources say that the Rus
sian ships made good their escape
from the harbor and will proceed to
VladivostOk, where they will join the
fleet at that station. Dispatches from
japanese sources deny that the Rus
slams escaped, but say there was a
severe sea fighting. 1t doesn't seem
reasonable that Admiral Togo would
wait outside the harbor for months
and then permit the Russians to go
scot free. If an effort was made by
the Russians to get their ships out
side and safely away. the incident
doubtless means that the situation at
Port Arthur has become untenable and
that the Russians have determined to
take desperate chances to save what
they can when the smash comes.

vernacular as decking a train" To
deck a train one rides on top of the

method is one employed only at night.
Its great advantage over other posi-
tions is that here the tramp traveller

Flat on the car top, on the darker
side of the station, he usually escapes

hap at Cherry Run.

One is Injured.

Train No. IL on the Baltimore 6
Ohio road, known as the west bound
Duquense limited, met with another
mishap about g. 20 Thursday morning at
Cherry Run, when it collided with an
engine which had run on to the main
line from the Western MARYLAND
branch. The train went through Mar.
tinsburg about 10 minutes late, and

Just before tile limited reached
Cherry Run engine No. Il ran on 10

track ahead of the flyer 1t is said
that Baltimore & Ohio engineer was
in charge of the Western Maryland

the signal which would show HIM
that the way was clear.
Engineer George Light, of Cumber-
land. was at the throttle of engine

he saw-the obstruction on the track
ahead he anplied the emergency brakes
and succeeded Ill checking the speed
of his train sufficiently to avoid ser.
ious accident. None Of the cars, or
either of the engines, was derailed,
but some damage was done the latter.
The engipes came tog sther with suffi.
cient force to give the passengers a
bad scare and Shake them up consider
ably, but no one sustained the slight
est injury except Western Maryland
igeman who was BRUSHED, but not SER
;ously hurt.
A message was sent to the company
physicians here and DrsssMyers. Baker
and Henshaw went to The scene of The
accident about 4 o clock. Fortunately
there was nothing fer them to do.
The Duquesne proceeded west after a
DELAY of about an hour.
CONDUCTOR SHORES INJURED.
Conductor Lewis Shores, of Bruins
wick, met with serious injuries Wed
nesday night by falling from his train
at Shenandoah Junction on the Balti-
more & Ohio. Mr.. Shores was on the
way train and in drawing the brakes
while passing the junction, slipped
and fell from the train. His fall was
hard one and he received broken
arm and various cuts about the

tered. His injuries are very painful
but are thought not to be serious.
He has relatives residing in this city,
