STUTTGART TO
 HAVE NEW DEPOT
Expected to Begin in the Very Near Future.

Stuttgart, May 7.-Work WIS be- gun this morning moving the old de- Lot from it's site for the erection of | new passenger and freight depot in this city. Construction work on the Eew building will likely begin as soon as the old building is moved west of it's present location. The station to te built here will be one of the larg- est on the Cotton Belt system, stretch ing almost the length of block be- tween College street and Grand ave- rue, and is to be constructed of brick and stone.
 The plans call for a structure that i'll be ample for the accommodation of the passenger traffic of this city fer many years to come as the town is expected to grow and the Cotton Belt is preparing to meet that growth
 Stuttgart feels good at the pros- poets of new station. This city ..as for some time felt the need of one, and petition circulated here last winter for a better station met 2 hearty response from the Cotton Belt officials who immediately began plans toward that end.

car and an automobile started across
the tracks. Hidden by the rushing
westbound train, a train bound into
the Pavonia terminal, on the outskirts
of Jersey City, was approaching the
crossing at high speed. The motorman
reversed his power, logged over a
switch, and brought his car to halt,
derailed, but just beyond reach Of the
train. The motorist acted as quickly,
but his car did not respond so fast.
The train crashed into the tonneau,
tossed The car a dozen feet away, a
mass OF broken wood and twisted steel,
and left dead beside the track two per
sons. Three children, sent tumbl!ng
heels over head for many feet, were
injured. Only boy escaped unhurt.
The dead are Albert Froelich, owner oil

seized all of the one hundred and fifty
thousand inhabitants OF the city and
tne frenzy of the peasants about Act
ma is almost indescribable.
The lava streams have been re-
newed and are advancing rapidly on
the city. The belief is growing that
the city will meet the fate OF Pom
peii. Professor Rocci, chief of the OBJ
servatory which was destroyed in the
first stages of the eruption, reported
that thirty craters are active, an I'M

of lava, however, is scarcely greater
than when only a dozen mouths were

Asking Congress Fol Aid.

Washington, o. C.-Congress IS
hearing much about the drainage OF
wet and overlooked swamp lands, OF
which there are 100000 acres in the
United States. The south is taking
the lead in this matter and is asking
for a small appropriation with which
to make surveys so that the work
of reclaiming these rich lands can
be carried on by private capital Sew
eral delegations of representatives,
farmers and business men from south
ern states have visited Washington
during the past few weeks to urge
the Importance Of legislation at this
session for surveys on comprehen-
sive scale. They have talked with the
president, the vice president, the
speaker, the secretary of agriculture
and prominent members of congress,
and have received much encourage
ment. They are backed by a strong
sentiment at home, which holds to the
belief that if it is right for the gov
eminent to guarantee the payment OF
irrigating lands in the west, it is
equally right to pledge the credit OF
the government for devising plans to
drain the swamp lands of the south
They have received much encourage
ment from Speaker Cannon and 9th

AWAITING new COTTON CROP
Mill After Hill Has Been Closed Until Market
Conditions Improve Most Drastic
Curtailment Ever Known.

Boston, Mass.-Fifty per cent OF the
spindles in southern cotton mills are
idle, according to statistics which
have been assembled by the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter.
The figures show that the curtall-
ment in progress not only in the south,
but in all sections of the country.
both north and south, is more ex'
tensive and drastic than has ever
been known in the history OF the
trade, even taking into consideration
the panic year Of 1907.
The greatest curtailment comes
among the yarn mills, although re-
strictioE of production among weav'
ing mills is greater than ever before
Mill after mill is closing down entire
ly, until new cotton arrives or mar
ket conditions improve, while, with
the majority of others the amount oil
curtailment varies from 20 to 100 per
cent, with many mills running on or
ders only. The following are the per
