ONE-QUARTER OF
CORN CROP NOW
APPEARS RUINED
Horticultural Expert Esti-
mates Damage Done by
Drought in Wayne County
Totals $4,000.
FARMERS SELLING HOGS
RATHER THAN FEED CORN
Farmers Have No Glover Left
To Feed Grunters-Predict-
ed Drought in This Section
Will Be Broken.

Walter S. Ratliff, one of the best
agriculture and horticultural matters
last night estimated that the exist
ing drought will cost the farmers of
Wayne county between $4,000 and
SO 900. Half of this amount will be
lost through irreparable damage
done to one-quarter of the total corn
crop. The remainder of the loss will
result from the destruction of the
meadows and pastures. By the kill
ing of the clover the farmers have
been forced to feed their hogs young
corn, which would probably sell at
$1OO a bushel this winter. Corn is
hardly ever fed to hogs until the first
of October.
Il estimated that there are 5000
acres of corn in Wayne county. This
crop should on the average yield ten
bushels to the acre. If a full crop
was possible $4,000 should be re-
ceived for it, estimating that it would
be possible to sell this $4,000 bushels
the coming winter at S1.O0 a bushel
However, l estimate that already r.
500 bushels of this crop has been de-
stroyed by the drought, which means
a loss of $12, 500 stated Mr.. Ratliff.
Farmers have no clover left to feed
and fatten their hogs on. Consequent
ly you will find many farmers now
placing their hogs on the market. Corn
is short and what the drought has
spared is selling now at So cents and
it will soon jump to S1.OO. Farmers
are selling their hogs, which now only
bring 500, because they figure they
can not afford to fatten 500 hogs on
prospective $1OO a bushel corn add.
ed Mr.. Ratliff.
Mr.. Ratliff predicts that the drought
in this section of the country will soon
be broken as there have been heavy
showers reported in Kansas, Nebras
ka and Missouri. This rain is prayed
for by the farmers as it will mean the
restoration of clover. The three-quar
ters crop of corn now remaining will
not be effected should the drought
continue as it has advanced too far to
be injured.

Were Working on New Gas
Holder at Light, Heat &
Power Company's North,
Second Street Plant.
BURIED BY TIMBERS AND
BOARDS ON STEEL FLOOR.
Richard Wall, John Connaugh-
ton, Harry Gibson, and Ar
thur Simmons Were Precip-
itated Twenty-Five Feet.

By the collapse of scaffolding ut the,
now being constructed by the Light,
Heat and Power company, four mem
were painfully Injured. Tie accident
occurred about B o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. Those injured were Richard
F. Wall, Baltimore. master carpenter:
Harry Gibson, Richmond: John Con-
naughton, Richmond. and Arthur SIM
mons, Richmond. All of the injured
men were removed to Reid Memorial
hospital in the city ambulance.
The men were engaged in the con-
struction of spider web" scaffold-
ing in the interior of the holder.
Beams were run from the sides of the
holder, which is now twenty-nine feet
high, to an old iron tower standing
in the center of the steel floor of the
holder. Across these beams, which
protruded from the tower like spokes
from a hub were placed boards. This
pile of lumber practically formed
roof for the holder.
Wall and his three workmen has
just about completed their work,
when suddenly the east section of the
scaffolding gave way, falling with a
crash that could be plainly heard
above the din of hammers driving
rivets into the steel sides of the hold
er. All four of the ~orxmen were on
that section of the scaffolding which
collapsed. Simmons. Connaugnton and
Gibson in falling hit a small scaf-
fold under the spider web" and their
fall was broken, but Wall dropped
with terrific force to the steel floor
and an avalanche of lumber fell upon
him.
Workmen rushed Immediately to the
assistance of their injured comrades.
Walls was almost obscured from view
by the lumber on top of him and 1t
was thought he had been killed. When
the holder it was found that he had
sustained deep and long cut in the
back of the head but apparently no
bones had been broken. Connaughton
was also painfully injured. His right
foot was badly crushed and his body
severely bruised. Gibson it is believed
sustained a fractured arm and Sim
mons was badly cut about the head
and bruised.

HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED.
WAS MEMBER OF COMMAND AC-
COMPANYING TAFT TO PANA-
MA-MET HARRY GALLAGER IN
CALIFORNIA.

Always passionately fond of travel
young Hubert Snaveley. son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Snaveley of West
Richmond, is having his desire to see
the world gratified. Last November
he enlisted in the navy and since that
time has travelled half around the
world. He is now on the protected
cruiser Galveston, which is on the
China station. In a recent letter to
his parents he says he likes the navy
greatly and that he has always re-
ceived the best of treatment. The fol-
lowing is an extract from letter the
parents of the young man have just
received:
Il was transferred from the Frank
lin to the Iowa, and then the Prairie,
which took on Secretary Taft, now the
candidate for president at Charles
ton, and then we sailed for Panama.
Arriving there the land route was TAX
en- and l got to see the canal We ar
rived at Panama City, where we re-
mained for several days. The people
are interesting. 1 was then trans
ferred to the Buffalo and set sail for
San Francisco. On the way we found
two men, a woman and a child adrift
and picked them up and ulet them off
at the first coaling station. While in
San Francisco I met Harry Gallagher,
who is stationed at the fort. Next we
went to Honolulu and stayed there
three or four days. That is most
beautiful city. There are many fine
buildings and the people treated us
royalty. Guam was the next stopping
place. This place has population of
10000 of which 800 are whites. We
were at Guam for about three days,
then we went to Manila where I was
transferred to the Galveston. and here
all the sailors were entertained. Af-
ter remaining here for several days
we sailed for Shanghai.

IF BRYAN WINS, FACTORY LOSES

John Sharp, of Layton, Arkansas,
wants to buy a Gaar, Scott & Co. saw
mill outfit but there is nothing doing
for John if Bryan is elected. Should
Taft be the victor John will be more
than willing to close the deal.
The company's branch office at
Crowley, La, has been negotiating
with Mr.. Sharp with the end in view
to close Immediately the deal for the
saw mill outfit, but the negotiations
were temporarily abandoned last
week because of the stand taken by
the Arkansas lumber man.
The local office of the Gaar. Scott
& Co. has just received letter from
the branch office at Crowley stating
that the company's agent, Mr.. Nor,
dyke. had reported that Sharp had re-
fused to close the deal until after the
presidential election. Mr.. Sharp. so
the letter reads, informed Mr. Nor
dyke that If Taft is elected he will
buy the outfit but if Bryan is elected
he will not buy the outfit or any.
thing else"
So far as known this is the first
deal negotiated by local concern
which has been temporarily delayed
because of the presidential election
The last time Bryan was a candidate
several cases of similar nature were
reported.
