ENGINEER SUSPENDED
 PENDING INVESTIGATION
Is Accused of Having Badly Beaten Negro Officials Will
 Look Into Affair.

Upon information from Superin- tendent A. G. Abell, of the Valley di- vision of the Iron Mountain at Mo Gehee, Superintendent J. F. Murphy of the Arkansas division of the same road, with headquarters in this city, has suspended Engineer Van Dyke of his division from service, pending ! investigation into the charge made against Van Dyke that he beat up a negro brakeman named Leroy Jack son at McGehee on Monday night.
 Both the engineer and the brake man belonged on the Arkansas divis- ion, but they had passed the termin- al point at McGehee and were on the Valley division when the assault is alleged to have occurred, hence the matter comes under the jurisdiction of Superintendent Abell. Supern- tendent Murphy stated last night that all he knew about the matter was that Superintendent Abell had wired him briefly about it, and he imme- diately suspended Engineer Van Dyke from the service until the matter could be fully investigated.
 Jackson is at his home in Argenta, and is said to be seriously injured, being cut about the head as if struck violently with some hard in- strument. He is believed to be in- formally injured. He says that he was stripped of his clothing and his body bent across pile of crossties in the yards at McGehee, and while in this position he was severely beat en.
 It is said that a difference arose between Engineer Van Dyke and the negro at Winchester, as they were going down on their trip Monday af. ternoon. Van Dyke is charged with having then threatened to take tn: matter up with the negro when they arrived at McGehee. After that noth- ing more was heard of the trouble until Jackson, blood bespattered. ap- peared at the caboose in McGehee that night and told of the assault. His wounds were dressed and he was brought to his home Tuesday morn ing.

COTTON YIELD
 WILL BE SHORT
Early Predictions are Being Sustain
 ed by Late Report About Product.

Late reports or the cotton yield sustain early predictions that it would fall short of the yields of pre- vious years, says. the New Orleans Picayune's weekly crop summary. Frost was reported in many sections Of the cotton district Friday and Sat- urday nights. It was the first of the season. Apparently the cotton crop was not endangered by the frost picking in most places being almost completed, and the staple we'll ma- tured everywhere. Good prices pre- vail and there is a tendency On the part of many farmers to sell. Plan ters are being urged by government and state departmental authorities to adopt strict measures to conquer the boil weevil,s particular stress being laid on the burning of the old stalks. in order that the weevil may be starved out and thus weakened. so that he will probably succumb during cold weather. The work of the wee vii is leading farmers in ever in- creasing numbers to look to diversi- fication, and it is safe to predict that in future years the cotton acreage will be materially reduced.
 Corn was a banner crop. Many To- calities beside raising enough for home needs, sold to outside markets.
 The week was favorable for cane, with plenty Of. sunshine and cool nights, and the crop is being rapidly cut and hauled to market. Farmers report good tonnage and the mills seem satisfied with the sucrose tests.
 Rice is nearly all harvested, and a good yield is reported,
 A fair yield of sweet potatoes is re- ported and there will be a good crop of fall Irish potatoes. ''''5

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE Dellyere1 By Carrier
HAIL TO THE VICTORS.

That mysterious and intangible thing called "the dope was badly upset in the recent worlds champion ship series as when it voiced the ov- erwhelming majority opinion regard ing the affair at Reno last summer For the rest of the winter, and prob ably many winters, the wise ones will be explaining how it happened and that one club won and the other best, the only perplexing feature of the af- fair being that it was the Cubs" who lost. The profound wisdom of those who are looked upon as authorities was heavily discounted by the result, the most logical and sensible solu- -tion of the whole problem being that the Athletics won because they got more runs than their rivals. The spirit of true sportsmansh'p demands that the victors shall be given the ungrudged honor of the triumph which they won on their merits.
 One of the gratifying features of the comment made by those who were the strongest partisans of the Chicago team is that only one of the leading spec al writers raised the old whine about the umpires "robbing" the Cubs of the victory. Almost everything else was said that could be conceived. The old epigram that youth must be served was worked overtime and one chap actually quoted Latin-fortunately not until the series was over. With pleasing unanim.t .ty, however, the Chicago partisans give the victors credit for clean-out success. The Cubs were not out-guessed or out-lucked or out-ump.red. They were out-hit outpitched, outfielded and were the center of four rings which the Ath- letics played around them-with a very narrow escape from occupying that position a fifth time. Why not give full credit where it is due with out short measuring the club which went into historic fight with all the odds against them, with the stores oi pity all uncorked and won historic victory because they played better ball?

]0arding Department OF the Scotland
Neck Graded School.

There seems to be a general de-
nand for a regularly established
boarding department at the Scotland
Neck graded school that will give
the boys and girls Of the county an
opportunity to make use of the adj
yantages offered at this school. The
Superintendent is not in aposition to
cake boarders; but realizing that
parents who send their Children away
from home to school want them to
be under the authority of some re-
sponsible person, he has decided to
lake the boys into his home and has
arranged for table board for them
at a convenient place. There is room
for 16 boys in the superintendent
aome and boys placed in his care will
be looked after by him personally as
TO their habits, hours of study, hours
for meals, etc.
Arrangements can be made to Sc
cure board and lodging for girls IN
private families. The superintend-
ent will be glad to cooperate with
the patrons of the school who live
outside of the district in making the
best arrangement possible for their
sons and daughters. Any one hav,
ing boys or girls to send off to school,
should investigate the advantages
offered by the Scotland Neck graded
school before deciding where to seno
them.
The superintendent will be in his
office every day and will be glad t(
see or correspond with any one who
is interested.

Living on Nerve.

An enterprising individual in New

and the schedule shows that he has

| The list of creditors shows that the
bankrupt was good liver and enjoy

A man must be genius at bilking
to be able to travel so far in debt with
no capital except cold nerve. There is
a considerable number of such men in
the world and to their fellows who
labor arduously and regularly they are
source of constant wonder. How
can they do it? To the mind of the
man who believes in personal effort
and in honorable dealings with the
rest of mankind there is no possible
explanation. 1t is simply incompre-
hensible.
1t may be that swindlers, like poets,
are born, not made. Undoubtedly it
must require no small degree of capa-
bility to buy food and clothing and
jewelry aud flowers and books and au-
tomObiles and stationary and golf out
FITS and paintings, end hundreds of
other articles, as this man did, on
mere assurance and with no prospect
or expectation of paying for them.
Whist a happy time he must have
had lodging bill collectors.

GENTLY numerous to represent anv.
thing more than feeble, but rather
troublesome minority. To one who
