WRECKED-MANY KILLED

A rear end collision occurred in a
heavy fog in Delmar, Md, MONDAY
morning, when the Norfolk express
train. from New York, Pennsylvania
Railroad, collided with an empty engine
standing at the station. The mail and
two baggage cars were telescoped and
Immediately caught fire. Baggage
master McCready, of Delmar, and two
mail clerks were killed. Other bodies
have been recovered from the ruins.
Princess Trixie, the performing horse
owned by w. Fl. Barnes, returning from
a tour to Europe, was killed. The horse
was valued at 100000. The horse had
won high honors at the JamestownEx-
position and all through Euro DE and was

THE SCIENTIFIC FARMER.

The man educated in farming
is the farmer that will make
things pay. He should study his
profession, and keep "read up"
as much so as a doctor or a law
Yer. Ii he doesn't he will drop
behind in the race. 1t is the care
less class that bear testimony
that farming don't pay"
The Virginia experiment sta
ton is a great help to the man
who wants to get out of the ruts
and carry ON successful farming.
A recent bulletin urges the farmer
to take care of his manure, one
OF the most important items in
farming. To permit manure piles
to go through a heat, or to leech
and run off, wastes over half the
value of the manure. Unless put
in a water-tight pit, or covered
over, it should be hauled TO the
field right from the stable. This
preserves a greater part of the
strength than allowing it to re-
main unprotected in piles.

ties.

TEMPERANCE A LIVE ISSUE.

Despite the fact that temperance is
not a political question, it will never
theiess be made an issue in the guber-
material campaign.
1t has been generally understood that
Judge Mann favored local option, instead
OF Statewide prohibition, but Judge
Mann is politician, and politicians
watch the trend of sentiment, and are
generally influenced thereby. While
Judge Mann has for years been regarded
as a strong advocate of local option.
and one of the recognized leaders in the
night for temperance, he moved only SO
Tar and so fast. as public sentiment
permitted. He was a leader but not in
advance of the head of the column.
Whatever may be the attitude of
Judge Mann, in regard to the temper
ance question, he has a very decided
advantage over Mr.. Tucker, in that he
has always been an active worker and
an able advocate of temperance, and
perhaps did more than any other man
to rid the State of saloons under the
provision of what is known as the Mann
law, which is really local option law
MIR. Tucker on the other hand has never
said or done anything as far as we
know to raise the ire of the whiskev
forces, or to furnish soothing syrup to
the temperance folk.-South Boston
News.
How SO old and wise a head az
our reverend brother Beazlev
could make such mistake we
cannot understand. When we
ourselves We're in youth Judge
Mann was fighting for temper
ance, and at a time when such a |
course was political suicide. Had |
he been more of a politician he
would long since have reaped

1 UOOu SOnutJtOn.
| A brief and rather noncommittal pre-
nminary report of the investigation of
the oyster beds in Virginia waters.
which recently was made by DR.. Meade
ferguson. the State Bacteriologist. and
Dr. A. w. Freeman, the State Medica,
inspector. is contained in a special bull
letIn issued by the State Department of
Health.
DR.. Ferguson and DR.. Freeman are
preparing a complete report of their
inspection, and it will be issued within
the next two weeks. This will show
the condition of the oysters on the
various private and public beds in the
1ldewater section of the State, and it

oysters are sold.
rollowing is the advance statement
given out by the State Department of
Health.
The Investigations made by repre-
sentatives from this department show
that the oysters supplied the markets of
the State are, in the main, healthy and
tree from contamination. In most in
stances there is absolutely no question
but that the oysters are in perfectly
healthy condition when taken from the
water. In only few instances condi-
lions appeared unsatisfactory. As soon
as the meteorological work is completed
and the facts are established, steps will

peared unsanitary. The full text of the
report will be made public as soon as it
is completed.
The Health Department is well sat

RAPPAKANNOCK OYSTERS
THE REAL THING.

The Fraternal order of Eagles held an
annual feast in Baltimore a few DAYS
ago. and as an oyster roast was part of
the program the oysters were of course
brought from the best sources. The
Baltimore American states that the
oyster tables were always crowded. The
bivalves were served on the half shell.
steamed and stewed. The oysters were
sent from the Rappahannock river for
the occasion.
Thus it is seen that when it comes to
having real oysters even the people of
Baltimore realize that the proper thing
to be done is to get their supplies from
the Rappahannock. Quantity and quality
are both right here.
