unity. She Is proud of you. and among
of which she Is more proud than this,
that she laid the foundation OF your
vast and splendid republic.

ENGINES DAMAGED
FOUR PUT OUT OF COMMISSION AT
 DECATUR.
Careless Employe Left Switch Open and Passenger Train Dashed Into It. F1reman's Leg Was
 Broken.

Decatur. Oct, 2.-(Special)--Four To- comotives badly wrecked and a negro locomotive fireman with broken leg is the result of carelessness on the part of some employe of the Southern Railroad.
 At an early hour this morning South- ern passenger train No. 12, while run ming at high rate of speed, dashed Into an open switch on which were standing three locomotives. These were steamed up and all of them were so badly damaged that they will prob- ably have to be loaded onto cars in order that they may be. taken to the shops The locomotive which was pull ing the passenger train was not as badly damaged as were the others, but 1t was damaged to such an extent as to put it out of commission and an engine had to be brought here from Tuscumbia to take the train on.
 None of the passenger coaches of the train left the track and none of the passengers were hurt, but they were badly shaken up and many of them were thrown out of their hunks in the sleepers by the terrific clash of the locomotives. None of the train men, except the negro fireman whose leg was broken. were injured.
 The point where the wreck occurred is some distance from the union pas senger station, and is just at the west ern extremity of the Southern Railroad yards. How the switch came to be left open no one knows, but 1t appears that 1t was the act Of pure carelessness The engineer reversed his engine as quickly as possible, but the train ran a distance of three hundred yards be fore the air brakes and the reverse of the locomotive could bring it to q stop.
 The locomotives wrecked are Pas senRer engine No. s6O, which was pull ing the passenger train; freight engine No. 1887; freight engine No. 1886, and passenger engine No. 1855. Portions o1 the locomotives are strewn all along inc tracks for distance of two hun dred yards. The tracks are not torr up in the least. Passenger train No. 12 which was the cause of the wreck, waa delayed here several hours

ADMITS BURGLARIES
RELATES OPERATIONS IN MONT-
 GOMERY AND MOBILE.
Young Negro Arrested by Montgomery Police Cenfesses Guiat ef
 Several Serious Of.

Out of the penitentiary since August IT. where he served two years for bur- glary and grand larceny. John Smith alias "Kildce." negro acknowledges two- burglaries. is accused of another burglary and a theft and the police are now working up other cases in which they believe he is involved. One of the burglaries is said to have been committed In Mobile.
 Smith was arrested several days ago by Special officers Murreil and Taylor. He was first accused of entering the | residence of George Montgomery on McDonough street and stealing a fine pistol from the house. Then he was charged with stealing a pistol rom Charley Redd, negro.
 The latest charges. which he admits are those of burglarizing the resi- dence, io5 Sayre street. which at the time of the burglary was occupied by W. H. Hawiey, now residing on Fielder street, and of breaking into e jeweiry store in Mobile and stealing a quantity of Jewelry therefrom.
 The negro told the police how he entered the Hawley residence late in the afternoon of September i. He says he gained an entrance through a back window and. after emerging from the house with his booty. destroyed a val uable merschaum pipe, part of the stolen property, by throwing 1t vio- lently against the pavement. The goods taken from the house by Smith have been recovered by the police and their value Is $43.5o. The property includes the meerschaum pipe valued at $7, a pistol valued at s5, a gold breast pin worth $15. a scarf pin valued at s4.25, a box of cigars worth s1.5o, and gold thimblc valued at s10.
 The negro, though, when first ar toA 0fn Gpr InI< nF x,xr crime. openly admitted the burglary In the residence and even thereafter vol- untarily told the police of his entry into a jewelry store in Mobile which he says is located near, the depot in that city. Three gold rings recovered by the police, Smith says, were among the booty which he secured from the jewelry establishment.
 The police are holding Smith for further developments before setting his trial in the recorders court. The ne- gro is about twenty years old.

SEED CRUSHERS MET
WANTS F'ERTILIzER
 BILL AMENDED.
Will Ask Governor Cemer To Include Proposed Amendment In Call
 For Special
 Seasiom.

More than forty members of the Ala bama Cotton Seed Crushers Association. l in extraordinary session. called by Presi-
 dent Ernest Lamar, of Selma, resolved
 yesterday to request Governor Conner
 to include in his ofifcial summons of the Legislature to convene specially, an amendment to the fertilizer bill adopted by the Legislature in its regular ses- sion.
 The probability. almost the certainty that the special session would be call- cd by Governor Conner, afforded the
 members of the Cotton Seed crushers
 Association an opportunity to ask for relief from a condition which they de- clare will be ruinous to them. A sub
 stitute or amended bill will be offereo. if possible, for the measure which was made 8 law.
 The Convention of the Cotton seed Crushers was In the New Exchange Ho- tel. and President Ernest Lamar. ol Selma, who called the convention, pre-
 sided. In stating the purpose of the
 convention, Mir. Lamar reviewed condi-
 tions of. the cotton sesd market, and of
 the effect of the recently enacted law
 upon 1t. The law in question, which regulates the salc. grading, branding and tagging of cotton seed meal. makes admissible under it's provisions only two classes of meal. High Grade, coa. taining per cent or more of ammonia. and Low Grade. containing less than < per cent of ammonia
 The crushers contend that the quail ity of the seed of the present crop is such as to preclude rne possibility ol making per cent goods and they wish 6 third grade, containing 1-2 per cent, to be made admissible. under the name of standard" while all below the standard" grade is to be classed Low Grade"
 The bill proposed yesterday. with sig natures of petition for its inclusion in the Governors official call of the Legis- lature, will be presented to Governor Conner by a committee composed of 8. J. Cassels. of Montgomery, who was secretary, Vice Secretary J. M. Key- ser, of AIbertville, who was absent on account of sickness; and President La- mar.
 Other matters consideyed by the As- sociation were the publicity campaign of the Association purposed to acquaint the public with the value and the uses of cotton seed and its products, and the transactions of the convention of the Interstate Association of Crushers, in New Orleans a few days since, upon which a report was made by President Lamar and MT. Cassels, who were dele gates from the Alabama Association.
 The Association adjourned subject to the call of the president.

 County.
 Hon. l.. Mitchell, chairman, and Hon. Harvey E. Jones, Associate of the State Tax Commission. returned yes terday from Union Springs, where they dismissed the eases in which an ap- peal for re-assessment was made. The commissioners followed the Lee Coun- ty case as precedent.
 The State Tax Commission met in Union Springs at the request of the Board of County Commissioners of Bul- lock County. who wished certain prop erty assessments alleged to be too low increased to basis of 50 per cent. of actual value. The commissioners af- ter going into the merits of the cases, decided to dismiss.
 The following resolution was unani- mously adopted by the County Com missioners:
 That the Commissioners Court of Bullock County are willing and pledge themselves to cooperate with the State Tax Commission in reaching assess ments for taxes on a basis of 60 per cent. of values for 1908, as is being put in operation throughout the State, and that our Tax Assessor be instruct ed to act in accordance with this res- olution."
