Louisburg, Special. Saturday
morning a. the l0:30 train was COM
ing in from Franklinton the engineer
lost control of his train and the en-
CINE, tender and one box ear, loaded
with hay, ran off the little bluff at
the waiting rooms overlooking Main
street, and are now a complete wreck,
almost blockading the street. None of
the train crew or passengers were in-
jured, the box in front preventing
the passeger coaches from running
off. One negro, Tom Macon, was
caught under the tender and killed
instantly. 1t is miraculous that the
hacks and waiting carriages in the
street escaped injury, but none was
hurt. The air brakes were not work
ing nor had they been for more than
a week and the sand box on the en-
CINE was devoid of sand. There is
a steep grade for about one mile COM
ing down to the station and it was
upon this grade that the train attain
ed terrific rate of speed, which n
reverse of the engine and the hand
brakes on the box car, whose wheels
were sliding along the rails, failed

Raleigh, Specialize seems certain
hat the next Legislature will be pres
led TO push the matter of iurnigra-
lion TO North Carolina. following the
lead of South Carolina. where the
movement seems TO be so successful.
There will also be very earnest ef-
fort TO secure immigrants from the
Northwest and North, particularly
English, Germans and Seandinavians
who have been in the country long
enough 10 become somewhat acclima-
ted and to know enough Of the langu-
age to make themselves understood.
1t Is the opinion Of many observant
people that this class is more deeir-
able than those from abroad. as the
latter will have so much more 10 learn
IN every way. The New England
States are now eongested with for
signers, and out West the good land
has to a very great degree been taken
ap by homesteaders and great num-
bers of the people are pouring over
into Canada. If this movement could
be diverted Southwark it would mean
a good deal. Governor Glenn feels
that North Carolina needs "A quarter
Of million Of sturdy immigrants.
A concerted movement, literally ad-
sertising and active work by agents
will mean q great deal. 1t is Gov.
ernor Grenn's desire that Secretary
Bruner, of the board of agriculture,
shall make a tour of the Northwest
illustrating North Carolina by dis
play of resources and perhaps by
steropticon views and by the very
free distribution of literature.

comparison be grown on the same
character of land and planted at the
same time, and that the treatment
and surroundings of each differ in no
way except as to the peculiar or es-
sentlal features of difference exist
ing between the two plans or methods
Reports of some three dozen farmers
who have this year given the Will
llamston plan a test have been
brought to the notice of the writer.
Some Of these were not considered
definite enough for consideration, but
twenty-eight reported either a COM
parison Of yields from crops grown
this year by both plans or gave yields
secured from the ordinary plan in the
past on the same land. The two low
est yields reported from the ordinary
methods were seven and ten bushels
per acre. The two highest yields re-
ported from the same method were
forty-five and fifty bushels per acre.
The two lowest yields reported from
the Williamson plan were twenty
seven and thirty bushels per acre.
The two highest yilds reported from
the same plan were one hundred bush
els per acre. The yield from twenty
eight reporting both the ordinary and
the Williamson plan compared gives
an average of 1925 bushels per acre
for the former and 56.42 bushels per
acre for the latter. These twenty
eight show a remarkable average diff.
ference Of 3317 more bushels pei
acre in favor of the Williamson plan,
an increase of 142 per cent.
1t cannot, however, in justice to
either method, be said that these CON-
PARSONS indicate the actual differ
ence between the Williamson plan
and the ordinary method. Many of
the reports give the number OF bush
els per acre in round numbers, indi-
eating that the yields were estimated
rather than actually determined. In
number Of cases the yield in 19O6
from the Williamson plan was COM
pared with the yield secured from the
same land when it was last IN corn
the compared crops not having been
grown the same year. There may be
other sources of error On the other
hand, large majority of farmers
who have tried the Williamson plan
now enthusiastically accept it and il
is the sensation in the communities
where the plan has been consistently
followed. 1t is hoped that every far
mer in The State will give it fail
and impartial trial in 1907.
