HUNDREDSOF VICTIMS
COLLAPSE OF BIG RESERVOIR AT
MADRID RESULTS in HEAVY
LOSS OF LIFE.

Madrid, April 8.-Four hundred
persons were killed or injured during
the day by the collapse of a new
water reservoir in course of construc-
ton on the outskirts of this city.
Fifty bodies have already been recov-
cred.
A workman who was injured says
the collapse was so sudden and CON-
plete that it was impossible to tell
what happened. The men at work
on the reservoir, however, anticipated
trouble, as "a fortnight ago three
arches collapsed and cracks devel-
oped in four others.
An exact estimate of the casualties
is still impossible. It is stated that
there were 236 men in the lower part
of the reservoir, all of whom were
killed.

London, April 8.-The sudden shift
ing of interest in the war. from the
land to the sea and the apparently
Imminent prospects OF fateful battle
between the Russian and japanese
squadrOns in the China sea have re-
vived all the interest shown here in
the earlier developments of the strug'
gle In the Far East. 1t is taken for
granted that Admiral Togo's ships, re.
ported to be in the neighbOrhOOd OF
Singapore in the middle of March,
are still in that vicinity and the re
port from Penang, on the west coast
of the Malay peninsula, that twelve
Japanese ships were seen steaming
ahead of the Russian warships is in
terpreted to mean that the former
are scouts sent out by Togo to get in
touch with the Russians and when
their object is accomplished to retire
on the main body of the japanese
squadron.
The reports about the numbers OF
the Russian ships vary, but at any
rate over thirty-five battleships, cruis
ers, Golfers and torpedo boats have
passed the port OF Singapore. The
underwriters here presume from the
northeasterly course they were steer
ing that after passing Singapore the
Russian ships are attempting to reach
the French port of Saigon, Cochin
China. However, it is pointed Out
that Japanese squadron of twenty
two ships is still off Horstburg Light
where it was reported March IA. The
two naval forces are only about thirty
miles apart and may be in touch al
any moment.

Calcutta, April 10. - Telegraphic

ed to be in ruins.
The shocks still continue. There
is no news from Kulu valley, but &C.
cording to native rumors great
amount of damage has been done.
An Official from DhsVmsala says the

Getting Interesting at Seneca.

Seneca, February 13.-The poll tax
payer seems to be taking the most inter-
est in our coming contest. The man
who has made little for himself is often
too anxious to spend the long savings of
others. The tailor made man and "paid
reporter wants to advertise the town by
way of the extra 3 mill tax. It strikes
ne that a few paid boosters and paid
heelers might do something, especially
at this particular time. Most men get
old enough to vote themselves before
they undertake to vote others. And yet

Two hundred and fifty dollars a year
ought to hire a mighty good clerk for
the board of trustees. A nice place it
is. A man who can "keep school," act
as show manager and rnn a campaign all
at the same time ought to be we'll worth
S765 per annum, with a per cent interest
from date.

Latest South Carolina Crop Bulletin.

Corn planting is nearly finished in
the eastern and central counties
where most of it is up to fairly good
stands; in the western counties
planting is well under way on up
lands. Cotton planting has been be-
gun in the eastern parts and will be
begun In the western ones next week.
Some cotton is already up. Tobac-
co plants are small in Marion, and
they were slightly injured by the hail
which fell in sections. Rice plant
ing is making rapid progress in the
Colleton district and has not begun
In the Georgetown district, where
the proposed acreage will be smaller
than usual. Some sweet POTATOES
have been planted in the southwest
ern counties.
The small grain crops are general
ly doing well and look promising, but
in some sections the oats crop is
poor; rye is heading. Pastures af-
ford good grazing in the coast coun-
ties. Gardens vary greatly, being
poor in places and backward, while
In others early vegetables are on the
market. Truck was damaged slight
ly by the frost, especially strawber-
ries and beans, and cucumbers.
Strawberries, lettuce and radishes
are being marketed.

About Mr.. Rockefeller's Gift

Messrs. Editors The Progress;ro
Farmer of the 18th to hand and rnog
with interest. Your article under u tbn
head, GA Significant Social Svmn ols
tom," is timely, strong and pointad
and cannot fail to strengthen and
encourage all men who are condnct1
ing their business on a manly. honest
basis. To men who recognize tbo
brotherhood of man, this article is
especially timely, for at least one re-
ligious weekly, last week, took tbo
position that the church has no right
to raise the question as to how money
is made that is donated for religions
purposes, but the church's duty is to
take the money and use it for the
honor of God and the extension Of
His Kingdom. It is clear to my mind
that we cannot honor God by receiy-
ing money unfairly gotten. As a
Baptist, / regret that our denomina
ton has ever received one dollar
from Mr.. Rockefeller.
Men who are bleeding the toiling
masses under oppressive trust meth
DDS, which embraces the oil, beef, to-
bacco, steel, and, I suppose, all the
rest, should be made to know that
God does not need, and the church
does not want, this blood money.
Would any church in this country
solicit and undertake to honor God
by using money made from the liquor
business? Certainly not, notwith-
standing the liquor business, with all
it's evils, is supported through the
choice of it's patrons, while the trust
forces the people to contribute to
their enormous profits.
Your readers are indeed fortunate
in having an editor who has the abil-
ity (and what is rarer these days, the
manhood) to turn the light on these
dark trust methods and the leeches
who are sucking the life-blood out of
the masses.
Very truly,

for Feeding Satisfactory Only Danger oveed
is Money in Raising Horses

the two sections of our steel lever
harrow, separated, one horse to each.
In the very stony places we had to
use a brush.
The Job was finally completed, and
/ think we'll done, considering the
conditions.
Recent rains are bringing the seed
up nicely, and I truly hope we may
have a good stand for all our trou-
BILE.
Illustrating the Money i'm Horse Raising.
The last week of March we started
out to buy team of horses and sell
or trade a pair of yearling colts.
We drove about sixty miles, and
looked AZ number of horses. Prices
ranged from $115 to 5000. The rea-
son for this, think, was that horse
buyers had cleaned the country of
everything good that was really for
sale. and those we looked at were in
the hands of men who were, as the
saying goes, married to them" and
of course asked us bluff prices.
We finally got one good six-year-
old horse worth the price, and after
ward saw two others well worth the
price asked, though that was $3.50
for one and $175 for the other. The
latter was a fine fve-year-old mare
weighing 1900 pounds. She had
raised a mule last year that sold for
$50, and was also due to bring an
other in a few weeks, yet was the
main stay for work on a good farm,
and was also a fine driver, having
style and ego" about her in spite of
her size.
We found most of the practical,
successful farmers doing their work
with good mares, and raising colts
from them every year or two.
Cattle generally were thin, and |
did not see as much good blood as
expected on such trip.
D~-.LoI-l -le- Going 90 Spray.
Wheat was growing well, but
most of it seemed to be an irregular
stand.
All hands were busy as could be
preparing for corn planting, and
much was planted last week.
We are trying to get our orchard
in better shape, pruning out suckers.
and all dead or damaged wood, and
as soon as the bloom falls, I want to
spray thoroughly.
Hope we can have as good success
as DR.. Freeman reports.
