the Judge looked up his record and

months imprisonment; In 1901 he was
sent up for two years from Philadel'

two years at Sing Sing for a forgery

AGRICULTURE IN VIRGINIA
AND THE SOUTH.

The recent report OF the U. ). De-
partment of Agriculture on this
wears crops should prove partlcu-
larly interesting to Virginians and
the South and in addition should fur
nish the people of the Southern
States with a large measure
of satisfaction, inasmuch as 1t
shows that the South is mostly re-
spOnsible for the large increase OF
this years corn crop over that OF
1909. In other words, the Southern
States so greatly increased their
yield per acre as to make possible
the splendid showing for this year.
The Department attributes this IN
crease. which in the case of Virginia
is about % per cent over last year.
TO improved methods Of cultivation
-a6orfed i'm the South. This is per
haps true, but it is likewise true
that the people are once more turn
ing their attention to agriculture.
This is the most encouraging thing
about the 1910 showing. because up
to the past year or so agriculture IN
MANY parts Of the South had been
sadly neglected while the popula-
ton busted itself in destroying as
much of the forests as possible.
While the forests were being stripped
the public roads were likewise being
ruined and the farms neglected. and
we repeat that it IS decidedly encoor-
aging to find that the Virginia peo-
pie and those of the other Southern
States have at last realized that their
farms can be made sources Of splen-
did revenue properly worked. With
the prevailing high prices of agricul-
tural products, it is absurd for farm
ers to say they can't make anything.
If they adopt modern methods and
work they will find that results Will
follow.

TOMBSTONE KILLED
Aviator Falls 500 Feet
at Denver.
AIRSHIP TURNED SOMFRSAUlT
Daring Birdman Met Death Attempt
ing a Spectacular DIP Near
ly Every Zone in HIS
Body Broken.

Denver, Col, Nov. lS.-Ralph john
stone was killed by drop of 500 feet
in his runaway biplane at Overland
Park. He tried to remove his helmet
after he struck the earth. gave Few
short gasps and expired. Nearly
every bone in his body was broken.
From the time he lost control OF the
machine until II struck the earth II
turned three complete somorsaults,
and il is question whether something
broke or whether the machine was
broken by the strain OF these evOlu-
tions before II struck the ground.
When the crowd saw the machine
whirling downward there was a scat
tering. and the space on which 1t fell
was clear OF people until the crash.
Then there was a rush TO the spot
where Johnstones crushed and bloody
body lay. Police were the first at his
side and lifted the motor which bore
him down. Then the crowd was driven
back and a canvas stretcher secured
TO remove the body. Forced backward
by the officers, the crowd next rushed
to where the lighter parts OF the ma
chine lay in a tangled heap thirty
feet away, and before the police could
prevent Il the framework and every
thing had been broken or torn to bits
and carried away by souvenir fends.
Did Magnificent Work.
tombstone had been doing magnifi-
cent work in the air for two days. and
previous to the accident had scared
away from the park and taken a turn
over Fort Logan. several miles dis
tant. while Hoxsey and BroOkins were
manoeuyring over the park. When the
crowd saw him returning at an alti-
tudeof about 500 feet there was
great cheer AS he gracefully dipped
his machine In response he was again
cheered. and he then began making
spiral descent to the starting ground
in the park. and then ii was noticed
that his machine wobbled several
times. Suddenly the aeroplane swerv-
ed. daTted toward the ground anu AFTER
turning three somersaults struck the
earth with terrific force.
During the descent tombstone could
been seen clutching the levers about
his seat, while the frightened specta-
tors wondered II by some chance he
couldn't right his machine ana save
himself from death.
When the aerplane struck the spec
tators rushed from the grand stand
and paddock and literally mobbed one
another trying to ascertain the fate Of
the daring airman.
His corpse was a narrowing sight.
Both legs, his neck and back were
broken and the bones OF his thighs
were forced through the flesh and
through his heavy leather garments.
