REPORT ON COTTON CROP.
New Orleans Times Democrat Says
Crop Has Dcterioratcd.

New Orleans, Oct. THE Times
Democrat says today:
The Times-Democrat herewith pre-
sents the reports of it's correspondents
on the progress of the cotton crop
during the month of September:
The consesus of opinion is to the
following effect:
The accounts vary greatly accord
ing to the section from which they
come, but taking the belt as a whole,
there has been a moderate deteriora-
ton.
Picking has made good headway
as a whole, but farmers are more in
clined to hold wherever they have no
pressing debts to pay.
There is much complaint Of she'd
ding and premature opening OF bolts.
The next report. which will be the
last, will be printed in the issue ees'
Monday, December 2. when the us1Taf
quantitive estimate Of yield will be
given.

FARMER Makes REPLY.
As to Lynchburg Correspondents
Statement CONCERNING the Selling of
Cotton by the Farmers.

Editor Watchman and Southron:
I notice i'm last weeks Watchmau
and Southron an article by your
Lynchburg correspondent, in which
he says "The farmers are utterly dis
regarding the earnest appeals to holfN
for 13 and Is cents. BY this actiors
IL to IL cents is altogether satisfac-.
tory"
Your correspondent is altogether.
mistaken in drawing that conclusion.
They are selling not because they
think they are getting a fair price,
but bcause they have had the price.
dictated to TIM SO long that they carr.
not be made to see that they can con-
troll the price themselves and so they
rush thir cotton To market before
Wall street pushes it down lower. .N
great many farmers. however, are.
holding their cotton and will get
much better prices little later.

FATAL WRECK SUNDAY,
COAST LENTS LIMITED RUNS IN
TO AN OPEN SWITCH.

Engineer BOney, Of Florence. Killed
Fireman Seriously Injured-Ac-
cident Occurred at South Rocky
Mount, n. c., Early Sunday Morn-
ing.
Florence, Oc. 4.-Train No. 80. the
horthDoind West indian Limited fast
mail over 'the Atlantic Coast Line.
which left here at $50 O'Clock last
night for Richmond, was badly
wrecked as it was passing into the.
yards at South Rocky Mount, n. c.,
at 2.15 this morning. Engineer
George j. Boney, Of this place. was
killed. and his fireman, General Bur-
nett, colored, also Of Florence, was
seriously injured
AS the train was passing through
the 1relght yards at South Rocky
Mount, pulling up to the union sta
ton, the monster locomotive of the
fast mail entered an open switch and
went head-on into a switch engine,
that was standing on the siding lust
at what is known as the "clear post"
The locomotive OF the passenger
train, when It struck the switches, be-
came derailed and turned broa dside,
on the ground, catching Engineer
Boney and mis- fireman and crushing
Boney's life out and seriously injur-
ing Burnett, the fireman.
1t is stared by the officials at
Florence that beyond these two no
one was seriously injured. The mail
clerks, baggage master and a number
of passengers aboard the train were
badly shaken up.
Capt. Herbert McGhee, Of Peters
burg. was in charge of the wrecked
train. TIL blame for the accident, it
is thought, will be placed on the
switcher, who should have seem
that the switch was closed after en-
tering the switch and before No. s2
was due at South Rocky Mount.
Engineer Boney is a brother OF
Mr.. E. Boney, the freight agent OF
the Coast Line at Florence. He is
| about 40 years old, and was one Of
the safest and best engineers on the
system. He was on the run in the
place Of Engineer J. ]. Jennings, who
has been off from duty on account Of
| sickness. The body Of Engineer Bo-
| ney will be carried to Wallace n. c.,
his old home, for burial tomorrow.
AS soon as the train could be detached
it was dispatched North-News and

New York, Oct 9.-In the Stand

LEARN TO EAT.
Few People I'm Sumter Really Know
How.

"Slow eating will solve one-half the
problem of i'll health. Those who suf-
fer already with indigestion and weak
stomach can with care and the use OF
Mona stomach tablets restore their
digestion to a healthy condition, so
that they can eat what they want at
any time without fear of distress or
suffering.
After few days use Of Mi-o-na
stomach tablets. the headache, dizzy
feeling, drowsiness, bad taste in the
mouth. coated tongue, nervousness,
sleeplessness, distress after eating
all these symptoms Of a weak stom-
ach-will disappear. and perfect di-
gestion and good skin will show
that the vital machinery is once more
running smoothly.
Take a little Mi-o-na tablet be-
fore each meal so that it will stimu-
late the digestive juices and give
strength to the stomach, and then it
will take care Of the food that is eat
en-, without indigestion and the un-
pleasant fun feeling with which SO
many suffer after meals.
j. +. w. DcLormc has SO much
confidence in the power Of Mi-o-na to
cure indigestion and all stomach ills
that he gives guarantee with every
50-cCnt box to refund the money if
the remedy fails to give satisfaction.

FROM SON IF MRS. EDDY
Additional Affidavits Filed in the Accounting Suit Against the
 Christian Scientists.
GEOHGt W. GLOyfR's LETTER TO MOTHER
Warned Mre. Eddy Against Persons Who Surrounded Her--Was Told by His Mother That Her Win Had Been stolen-other Queer Notions of Mrs. Eddy.

Concord N. H., May 17.--Additional affidavits were filed by the plaintiffs in the Eddy accounting suit in the su. perior court Wednesday. One is the affidavit of William E. Chandler, con taining the letter which George w. Glover wrote to his mother Mrs. Mary Glover Eddy. from Washington, Feb ruary 25. 1907.
 In this letter which was addressed My Dear Mother" Mir Glover says:
 Both before l left home and after coming east l learned facts which convince me that steps should be talk. en concerning your property in the way of legal proceedings which will satis- fy everybody that you are being legal ly served by those whom you most i'm. plicitly trust in your present bodily and mental weakness natural to your advanced years
 For many years have thought that persons to whom you had given your confidence and who had sur rounded you and taken complete charge of your affairs were not de serving of such faith as you appeared to have in them and such power as they assumed in your name"
 The letter then refers to difficulties that Mir Glover says he and his daughter Mary had experienced in trying to visit his mother in Concord as far back as 1903 and the coming down to the present year says.
 "on January End, Mary and l went to Concord and had an interview with you. and the painful doubts which had been excited in my mind were not overcome by that interview

RUFF PLEADS GUILTY.
Breaks Down in Judge Dunne's Court Wednesday.

San Francisco, May 16.-Abraham Ruef, nervous and pallid, Wednesday in Judge Dunne's court pleaded guilty to the crime of extortion, the felony for which he was to have geen tried by the jury already selected. In plead ing guilty he made an impressive ad- dress to the judge. stating that he had commenced his career in politics with high ideals for himself and for the city, gut that conditions had broken him down, and he now desired only an opportunity to make repara- ton and restore his character before the world.
 As he concluded his address he fell back into his chair, almost fainting, and the tears coursed down his cheeks.
 His health, he said. could not en- dure the strain of the trial which he was facing, and the torture was be- yond the endurance of those who were nearest and dearest to him.
