Cushion Cover That Will Wear.

A pretty and serviceable cushion
cover can be made from rags woven
like rag carpet. A piece one yard
wide and one-half yard long makes
a good-sized pillow. Arrange the
colors in one wide double stripe, in
narrow stripes or any way to suit
yo1r taste. A cover made Of good col
ors can be washed any number OF
times and look we'll. These covers
are nice where there are children who
like to cuddle down on the floor for
a nap; also make nice porch and ham
mock pillows. One made OF light
shades and woven with white warp
is quite dainty and may be ornament
ed with a cord or bow of ribbon On
the corners when not intended tor

THRICE FATAL WRECK.
Engineer, Fireman and Brakeman
Killed-Freights Collide Near
Abbeville.

Greenwood, Feb. 3.-Three men
were killed and number of others
seriously wounded as a result Of a
headon collision between two Sea-
board freight trains last night about
10 O'Clock near Cana, a station be-
tween Greenwood and Abbeville. The
scene Of the wreck is about eight
miles from Greenwood and about sew
en- miles from Abbeville.
The dead are: Engineer Clyde
Moore Of southbound train No. 19,
running as the second section OF No.
l9, local freight; his fireman. Luth-
er Nickles, and negro brakeman,
named Beard, a member Of the crew
of the northbound freight, which was
Irunnin. as second section of No. 20, a
through freight. Engineer Moore had
his neck broken, apparently his only
injury. 1t is not known whether 1t
was broken by the crash of the en-
gines or whether it was done after
wards. His body was found on the
ground opposite his engine and he
may have jumped or he may have
been thrown out as the two engines
came together. The negro brakeman
on the northbound freight was found
dead, literally crushed to pulp on the
fireman's side Of the cab. Whether
he was asleep there or how he came
| to be there is not known. The engln-
eer, Marvin Jones, and the fireman
on the northbound train managed to
get off, but they could not tell why
the negro got caught.
The conductor Of the southbound
train was Mr.. J. Allen Nickles, who
! is native Of Greenwood. He is we'll
| known here and his friends will be
much relieved to know that his in
iuries are not serious. He is hurt,
but his injuries are not serious. His
flagman was Hargis, young white
man from Atlanta. He served with
the yard crew at the Seaboard yards
here for several years and Is well
| known in Greenwood. He is pretty
badly bruised up, but his injuries are
not serious either.
The conductor Of the northbound
trein was Mr.. J. E. Bailey. He Is
also we'll. known in Greenwood. He
married Miss Florence Knox, Of Alb

T''a wre"king crews were soon on
hand and last night it was estimated
:. { Track would be cleared in j.
hours. It is believed that it can be
cleared in time for the passenger
trains today. The passenger trains
early this morning exchanged passen-
GERS and mails at the scene OF the
wreck.

pan and America. He said: 1.-The
friendship Of Japan and the United
States is traditional and it is abso-
lutelv essential that both maintain
unimpaired their sentiments Of amlty
and extend and strengthen them by
every means. Notwithstanding the
perfect accord which has always eS-
listed regarding the aims Of the two
countries in the far east and IN the
Pacific it appears that doubts have
been entertained in some quarters
concerning the sincerity Of the inten-
tions.
"In order to remove this misunder-
standing the two governments have
deemed it advisable to exchange dip
lomatic notes officially announcing a
common policy, which I am convinced
will be largely instrumental in pre-
serving the peace Of the Orient.

"With regard to the question OF

All Tobacco Taken Over.

When the big tobacco deal was made
between the Burley Tobacco Society
and. the Tobacco Trust.it was rumored
at first that the Trust had bought or
was about to buy the entire holding of
the hurley people At once there was
a howl from the Independent manufac-
turers that they would be ruined if
they should be shut out. The BurIey
Society was importuned to save them
by refusing to sell their entire holding
to the trust. The Burley people bark
ened to their plea and reserved twenty
five per cent, of the crops for them.
In return the Independents Ihave
shown but little gratitude to the
Burley Society for this concession, but
have been the cause of much trouble
and unnecessary work. The Trust took
the tobacco allotted to it and prompt
ly paid for it. The Independents or
some of them haggled and objected
and finally some of them have refused
outright to take the tobacco allotted to
them. In consequence the Society has
on its hands over four thousand hogs
heads Of this Independent tobacco.
Most of the growers have got their
money long ago, and the Society, feel
ing that it is not fair to the owners of
this undelivered tobacco to make them
wait longer, determined at its recent
meeting at Winchester to take over
this tobacco and pay the owners for it.
1t will be remembered that ten per
cent. OF the money received for the
crop was retained as an equalization
fund to provide for an emergency that
might come as some of the tobacco
might eventually sell for less than the
stipulated price. According to this
rulingI all the tobacco that remains on
hand Saturday will be taken over by
the Society and the owners will be paid
ninety per cent. of it's value as the
other owners have received. This
tobacco will belong to the Society as
a whole, and will be sold to the best
advantage, and when it is finally dis
posed of, the money will be distribut-
ed among all the growers.

Changes Needed.

Why is it that criminals fear the
Federal Court so much more than they
do our State Courts asks the Frank
fort Journal. 1t is not that the FEEDER
al Judges and officials are better than
those of the State or that they are
more anxious and able to enforce the
laws. 1t is because under Federal pro-
cedure the administration of criminal
laws is swifter, surer, and far better
than it is in the State Courts. These
frequent failures of justice, and the
slow and uncertain process in the
courts aggravaue those who want to
see the-Iaws enforced and encourage TO
mob violence those who become so i'm
patient at the laws delays.
If the General Assembly would make
some needed changes in our criminal
practice such is found in the Federal
Courts and in the Courts of most of the
other states, it would greatly reduce
crime in Kentucky. establish far more
respect for our laws, and remove the
irritating cause that furnishes most

Fourth OF July.

We are disposed TO nOlu Danlel " eD-
ster responsible for the present-day
atrocities of Fourth Of July. In the
imaginary speech which the great ex-
FOUNDER of the Constitution put into
the mouth OF John Adams, that noble
son of Massachusetts was made to say ::
We shall make this glorious,
an immortal day. When we are in
our graves our children will honor
it. They will celebrate it with
thanksgiving, with festivity, with
bonfres and illumination.
This speech found its way into all
the Fifth Readers, and generation af-
ter generation of American schoolboys
acclaimed it with appropriate occa-
sions. The message was deeply i'm
bedded in their plastic minds. and
while the thanksgiving was gradually
forg item, the bondfres and illumina-
lions were chung TO with unyieldihg
tendency.
AS time rolls on, the heather, yell
low and white, who manufacture ex-
plosives and fireworks succeeded by
their devlish ingenuity in eliminating
everything but noise. Thus it comes
about that the Fourth Of. July, instead
of being a day of thanksgiving and
festivity, is day of pendemonium
and death.
1t was not always so. Fourth of
July as reign of terror belongs to a
very recent period. Even thirty years
ago it was celebrated with considerable
sanity, if not simplicity. We recall
these celebrations as if they were yes
terday.
Early in the morning some of the
veterans of the Civil war, still young
and husky they were, went out and
fired a salute from an old cannon. Al
most every town had one of those rel
les of the great conflict. If not, the
boys borrowed an anvil from the black
smith shop. A bout ten o'clock there
was parade, headed by the village
band. Then everybody went to the
grove, where the minister offered a
prayer, the leading lawyer of the place
read the Declaration of independence
and a distinguished statesman of the
vicinage made patriotic speech. A
very good speech it usually was, too,
with rather less 6ubdub in it than is
contained in the average Senate speech
on the Aldrich tariff schedules. The
village marshal stood OIL the outskirts
of the crowd and suppressed the turbu.
lent small boys whose patriotic im-
pulses failed.to respond properly to the
occasion. In the afternoon there were
games, in which the chief event was
catching a creased pig or climbing a
creased pole The boys all went in
swimming, the smaller ones being res
cued from drowning by the larger and
sent home with hearty imprecations
for messing up the nations birthday.
Then in the evening there were fire
works, if it did not RAIN. and the loss
of single eye or finger during the
days celebration was enough to fur
nish the whole community with a
weeks excitement.
1t was real Fourth of July, and
was honestly regarded as "a glorious,
an immortal day." Now it is nation
al nuisance, and if there could he
vote taken on the subject, we fear
majority of citizens of the country
would vote to strike it from the calen-
dar.

proportion as our courts are enabled to
punish criminals more promptly and
more certainly.
