TRAIN STOPPED AT EDGE
OF A BURNING BRIDGE
Salt Lake Limited Has Close
Call at the Mouth of
Caiou Pass
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN BERNARDINO, July ia mere
matter of five minutes saved the Salt
Lake limited, the crack train on Sena-
tor Clark's road, from a disastrous
wreck in the mouth of Cajon pass. That
the swiftly flying train was not badly
wrecked with great loss of life was due
to the quick action of John S. White
man, county road overseer in the pass.
Whiteman happened to glance up the
track, and at the northerly end of the
long bridge spanning Cajon creek, he
saw a thick cloud of smoke. Knowing
that the limited was almost due, White
man acted quickly. He set his son
hurrying up the track as fast as he could
to flag the limited, while he seized a
bucket and ran swiftly across the
bridge to find that a fire was raging on
the bridge.
For some reason the engineer of the
limited paid no heed to the younger
Whitemans signals, but the heavy train
glided swiftly around the curve, and
within view of the bridge, when the
engineer saw the smoke and applied the
emergency brakes.

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.
OBy Herbert j. Hapgood. }

Wy ll'l b'll d. ildpbpbbsJ
81 have been travelling for forty
nye years" said AN old salesman the
other day, and have never been
known to miss a train This is the
kind of punctuality that counts. The
man who misses train, Is apt TO
miss a good deal that Is worth while.
Some time ago | asked a prominent
merchant in New York wnat he
thought to be the essential element
of success. He said that the motto
he had followed from his youth up
was, Get there on time"
You have all heard about the pro
verbal "Johnny-on-the-spot," and in
the keen competition which exists
today in the employment market.
there is no chance for any Johnny
who is not on the spot. He must not
only be on the spot, however, but
also on the dot, meaning OF course
the dot of time.
II was only this morning on my
way down to the office that | met
a friend who told me of one of his
new salesmen, who, on his initial
trip, missed the train. The funny
part of it is that the young man
excused himself by saying that he
was getting his nails manicured.
Did you fire him?" | asked. MY
friend look astonished. He was sur
prised to think | would be so hard on
an inexperienced salesman who was
going on the road for the first time.
While it may seem hard to dis
charge a man for missing a train
nevertheless, according TO the uni
versal idea that the race is too the
swift, it naturally follows that the
best man Is the one who gets there
first, The doctrine OF the suryiya
of the fittest will never favor mar
who misses his train.

4 BuIlctin Which Will BE of Inter-
est to Terrell County Farmers.
There will soon be issued from the
of entomology a state
bulletin upon the disease known as
"black root" in cotton, which has
become a foe to the fieecy staple in
this state. The last bulletin issued
upon this subject was in December,
1906. Since that time the depart
ment of entomology has conducted a
most successful experiment with the
view of exterminating it from the
state. During the past season II de-
stroved thousands of dollars worth
of cotton by killing the stalk before
if could bloom and produce the DOLL
throughout this section.
During the past season eXperI-
ments have been conducted by when
q resistant specie Of cotton has been
nroduced. and this additional bulle-
tin, giving the experiment with as
case that is an injury to the cotton
crop, will greatly aid the farmers OF

htteenth, DAY of the Ascension of

Inc doors of the convent now
CLOSED behind me, and a numhor of
years OF convent life followed which
lnueed were not pleasant in nvno-
Tlence. Without going into details
wish to say that the moral stand
ara among those 1926 priests 3OO
MONKS and 900 nuns was so low that
l saw my own spiritual life endan-
gered; and though I had been study
ing LOT some years succeeded in sew
erlng my connection with the con-
vent after two years struggle,
expecting to return to Germany
frst went to Chicago to bid fare
well 10 my oldest brother, who for
some years had been Methodist to
my great sorrow. To even stav nm
der the roof Of protestant I be-
AeVed would be a sin for me. Some
now IN providential way I had to
stay there several days, and during
mat time came in touch with a few
Methodist preachers and laymen. 7
accepted their invitation to attend
the Chicago campmeeting then in
progress, and after a few DAYS of
great inner struggle the glorious
light Of full salvation flooded nv
soul.
Clearer and stronger than ever
before | felt the call to preach the
Gospel Of Jesus Christ that can make
men free indeed. | at once entered
Nast's Theological Seminary at Be-
rea, Ohio, and upon graduating four
years later entered the German Meth
odist ministry. Wishing to perfect
myself in the English language, and
seeking a larger sphere Of usefulness
in the church, l joined the Florida
conference in 1904. During the first
two years l built two churches and
one parsonage, and the Lord gave
me something like 100 conversions
Il was stationed at Daytona, Fla,
when our superintendent, Brother
Fletcher, came to me last year and
asked me to take up the work in
Cuba. After several months of med
itatiOn and prayer God confirmed my
call to Cuba, and Bishop Gambler as
signed me to Camaguey as teacher
in our college there. Still pursuing
my study of spanish, I was appointed

uary to the Santa Clara circuit. God
is with us, and His WORK is moving

THE ENEMIES OF COTTON.

4 Few of the Things That Affect the
Price of South's Great Staple.
From Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
Surely cotton has many things to
contend against. The cotton market
halted yesterday awaiting develop
ments in China.
A year ago cotton was hurt by the
Chinese boycott.
If there is a strike in England it
affects cotton.
If there is riot in Toxic we feel
1t In Memphis; yes, even in the plan
tations in the Mississippi delta and
in the hill farms.
A strike in New England or a
tightness OF money in New York
hurts cotton.
Hard times in the United States
hurts cotton because a man makes
one shirt serve where ordinarily two
shirts would be required
A fine crop in India and a good
crop in Egypt hurts American cotton.
Russia was not able to take much
cotton during the war with Japan,
and we felt it here.
The whole world at times seems
to be leagued against cotton.
Cotton's enemies do not begin and
end with night riders and the boil
weevil and yet there are many
things that help cotton, the greatest
being worldwide peace and pros
perity.
Probably the price on no other
commodity is Influenced by so many
variants as cotton.
