Wreck on the Southern.

One Of the most frightful railroad
wrecks Of the many that have oc
CURED Of late, was that on the South
ern railway in Virginia, last week
1t was a rear-end collision, in which
a regular passenger train crashed into
a special carrying President Samuel
Spencer of the Southern system and
a few friends, in his private car. on a
hunting expiditiOn 10 Florida. The
passenger train ran into the other at
a fast speed, breaking the rear ears
into splinters, killing president Spen-
Ger and two or three of his party, be
sides several porters, cooks, etc. The
casualty occurred at d lonely place
between two small stations. and is
attributed TO the neglect of the tele-
graph oparator who permitted two
trains to go on the same block at
the same time
Mr.. Spencer was very popular in all
railroad circles, being one OF the fore
most railway men in the country,
and his death IS deplored in that
quarter as well as among all the en-
ployes Of his large system. His sue
cessor viii be appointed by the direc-
tory of the road in a few days, and it
is thought that the promotion will

Extending the Market for Cotton.

A convention of Agricultural Com
missioners of the Southern States was
held at Jacksonville, Florida, recent
ly, for considering the material inter
ests of southern agriculture, and
among other measures adopted by
that body was the following resolu-
tion in regard to extention of the
market for our raw cotton:
Whereas, cotton is the principal
money crop of the South; that this
will continue to be so for years to
come is a matter about which there
can be no difference of opinion. We
tiOn that the United State Congress
at it's last session appropriated small
sum to be used in the cOmmendable
work of extending the market in for
eign fields; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the Southern
States commissioners of agriculture
and agricultural workers, in eighth
annual session, convened in the city
of Jacksonville, Fla, take advantage
of this, the first opportunity, to eX-
press our appreciation of the recOg-
milton given our greatest crop and
heartily commend the good work un-
dertaken for the benefit of the cotton
planter and the manufacturer, and
urge our Southern Congressman and
Senators to use every effort to secure
adequate appropriations for the ac-
tive continuance of this work.

It is to be understood that these

this year, and do not include lint
ers, repacks or other additions of
! the sort.-New Orleans Times-Dem-
crat, Dec. 3.
The following Is the report from
Monroe county, which formed a
part of the data upon which the
( Times-Democrat estimate Is based.
Aberdeen. Miss. Nov. 2S.-The
/ increase in yield of the Monroe
county cotton crop over that Of last
year Is indicated by the ginning
figures, which were to Nov. II,
1906, 20,0j2 bales compared to H.
066 to same date in 1905. There
was great deterioration in quality
subsequent TO the September storms,
and the staple affected by that
cause has appeared ON the market
up to this date, meeting slow sales
as that quality of cotton Is in small
demand, and considerably reduced
quotations are realized from 1t.
The ginners report for this year
1850 pounds of seed cotton to the
bale and 1000 last year. In good
weather the picking has been rapid,
with ample labor.
When quotations are above ten
cents the farmers move their crops
to market as fast as picked and
baIed, and at prices now prevailing
very few are disposed to hold for an
advance.
The Mississippi crop this year
may be reasonably expected to
reach 800, 900 bales.
