Had Collision of Ships.

w. B. Holloway sends the following
brief, but interesting account of a col
lision between the u. s. war vessels
"Glazier" and "Des Moines," during
severe storm in Cape Cod Bay near
Provincetown, Mass, from which his
letter is dated. Holloway is ON the
"Des Moines" as marine
"Will try to write some news of the
recent storm just off Cape Cod Bay,
where several of the battleships are as
sembled for target practice. All the
fleet have been here but some of them
are gone now, having finished their
practice
''On Sept. Goth the wind and sea be-
gan to rise and by O clock, p. m., the
wind was high and the sea was furi-
Gus. We were anchored about $50
yards from the U. S. S. "Glazier. I"
She began to drag her anchor and
drift down on us We were all at sup
per at the time, so the crew did not
know anything about it, till an officer
shouted to close all water tight-doors.
About the same time the collision sig
nal went off, so everybody ran on deck
Just in time to see the ships come to-
gether. The "Glazier" ran into our
bow and drifted away again, but next
time came broadside to us. 1t was a
sight to see our boats smashed up.
Iron was bent in every shape. We lost
two boats by getting them smashed by
the "Glazier," lost our fore top mast,
but otherwise was not much damaged
No lives were lost.
This morning we thought we were
going to have another storm, but it die
not amount to much. "

CEMENT PLANT IN JASPER
Georgians Have Practically De-
Cided on a Location.

JASPER, Tenn, Oct. Last week
a party of cement men were in Jasper,
and were looking over the lands owned
by S. H. Alexander and W. 7. sDun-
woody, which lie along the foot of the
mountain at the Blue Spring, with the
purpose of locating large cement
plant here. They represented the
Southern State Cement company, of
Rockmarten, Ga
There is a million dollar cement
plant located at Copenhagen, which is
only nine miles below here, and it is
said by those who claim to know that
the shale, of which cement is made, is
in greater quantities here than it is
there, and it is much easier reached.
The company had two men at work
testing the depth and quality of the
shale and they were apparently satish-
ed with the result of their investiga-
tions, for afterward they tried to pur-
chase the land outright. This is an
ideal place for cement plant, as
there is an almost inexhaustible supply
of the shale of which cement is made,
it being in places fifty feet thick, is
easily reached, close to the railroad
and the Blue Spring will furnish an
abundant water supply. 1t is regard
ed as settled fact that the company
will locate here and the people of JAS
per are ready to do their part towards
getting them to come.

The acorn crop is reported extra
good this year, and farmers in the
mountain coves are rejoicing. Owing
to the late frosts, which nipped nearly
everything, it was thought the acorn
crop would suffer also, but the oaks
are reported loaded with acorns. Mast
fed meat is much better than the corn
fed article, besides being much cheap
er on the farmer, and mountain farm
