Greatest Of Crop Years.

American farms will produce big
ger and better crops and return more
millions in revenue to the farming in
terests this year than ever before IN
the history of the country. All kinds
of crops have progressed to the stage
where this prediction may be made
with scarcely the slightest chance that
the final official figures will disprove
its correctness.
Railroad officials and statisticians
of agricultural departments in the va
rious States Of the grain-producing re.
gion give their personal and official
guarantee that the year 1905 is to be
the banner year in farm prosperity.
Possibly one wheat crop-that Of
l9Ol-will exceed that of 1905. In
1901 thecrop aggregated 740,000,000
bushels. 1t looks now as if the corn
crop would lead by a large margin
that of 1902, when 1924 100000
bushels were produced. 1t is when
one takes the wheat, corn, oats and
hay crop together and coDtemplates
what the grand total Of this year of
grace is to be that the exhibit becomes
an inspiring one.
Beginning with Indiana, moving
over into Illinois, then Iowa, Nebraska
and Kansas, one finds the same bright
ray of promise everywhere in the corn.
fields.
Sturdy of stock, large of ear and
plump Of grain, there seems no posi-
Die weather contingency that could
prevent a mammoth harvest of grain.
According to figures emanating from
State capitals Saturday afternoon,
37O,O00,000 bushels more of corn
will be raised this year than last in
States-of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota
Ohio and Wisconsin.
These same y States are expected
to produce LA ,OUU,OUO bushels more
wheat than they did year ago. OF
the winter wheat States Indiana, H.
linois, Kansas, Ohio, Nebraska and
Missouri make fine showing in in
creases. Enough of the crop has been
gathered and thrashed in good order
to make these figures semi-ohicial.
With black rust rendered practical
ly innocuous in the spring-wheat coun-
try by favorable weather conditions,
with one harvest already on in large
part of the area and with a grea ter
acreage than last year from which to
draw, the figures submitted for the
prospects in the Northwest are not
apparently overdrawn.

Train Wreckers Arrested.

Benjamin Holder, young white
man % years old, was arrested at
Summit Point last week on informa-
ton furnished by railroad detective
"Jack" Powell, and taken to Charles
Town, where he was lodged in Jail,
charged with having attempted to
wreck freight train on the B. q o.
Holders home is at Summit Point.
The accused was given preliminary
hearing before magistrate. 1t is
said that he made full confession
and was committed to jail at Charles
Town to await the action Of the grand
Jury. The offense was committed on
the morning of July l9, and the north
bound freight train, No. "A, was the
train Holder tried to derail. The at
tempt was made about one mile east
of Summit Point, and several railroad
ties had been piled across the track.
Detective Powell was put on the case,
and he soon had enough evidence to
Justify the arrest of Holder.
Robert Washington, Robert Jefer-
son and George Brown, young negro
boys, were arrested at Winchester
Tuesday morning by the local police
on information furnished by Superin-
tendent G. A. Ogline and Detective
PoUeIl of tbe Raltimore and Ohio
Railroad force, and lodged in jail on
the charge Of having attempted to
wreck freight train on the Valley
division of the Baltimore and Ohio,
near Winchester, last Sunday NOM
ing. The prisoners were given a
hearing and held to await the action
of the grand jury. Young Jefferson
was admitted to bail in the sum Of
$500 and the other two were jailed.
Engineer Carver, who was running
an extra westbound freight train last
Sunday, reported at Shines crossing, a
mile east of Winchester, his train
struck several railroad ties piled on
the track. The train was not derail-
ed, however, and little damage was
done. All three prisoners signed a
written confession, in which they said
that at the suggestion of one the ties
were piled on the track. The oldest
boy is l6 years Of age.

Dowell's is increased more than 100

away up in the figures, too. 1t is
very plain that while we have been

taxes on $4,115,25O, and Mcdowell

THERE are not many partisan news
papers in this State that seem dis
posed to give Governor Dawson a
fair show. A couple Of months ago
he was severely criticised for pardon
ing negro convicted Of carrying a
revolver, and he was charged with
doing this to curry favor with the
negro voters. In speech last week
at Moundsville Chatauqua the Gov.
ernor gave his reason for pardoning
the colored man, showing that the
negro, while technically guilty, and
therefore liable to the sentence i'm
posed, was in reality acting under
the orders of his white employer and
carried the weapon for the protection
of some women and children who
were threatened by drunken rufiians.
This employ gentleman of high
standing and wealthy mine owner,
wrote the Governor very earnest
and convincing letter, in which he
plainly demonstrated that his colored
man, instead of being punished,
should be commended for his faith
fitness and heroism. The letter was
one that should lave convinced any
reasonable man of the Justice of a
pardon, and the Governor, in our
opinion, showed both wisdom and
mercy in granting it. 1t seems to US
that his explanation should have been
sufficient for the approval Of any
thinking man, yet We find a number
of newspapers still bounding the Gov
ernor and insisting that he acted un-
wisely or from improper motives.
The REGISTER has no axe to grind,
so we feel free to say that criticism
can be carried too far, Give Cover
nor Dawson fair show. He has
troubles enough ordinarily, and it is
not the decent thing to misjudge him
when he does right.

enormous growth until we read the
following from the Times, published
at Cheeotah, Indian Territory: 1.-The
terrible news comes from the western
part of the Cherokee nation that a
boy climbed a corrstalk to see how
the corn was getting along, and now
the stalk is growing up faster than
the boy can climb down. The boy is
clear out OF sight. Three men have
undertaken to save the boy from star
walton by cutting down the stalk, but
it grows so fast that they can't hack
twice in the same place. The boy is
living on nothing but rawcorn, and
already has thrown down over four
bushels Of cobs.
