Truck Growers Meet

Truck Growers Meet
 The Truck Growers association held their second meeting at the Board of Trade room Saturday afternoon. F. W. Sterling presided and informed those pres ent that he had mailed 64 letters to all sections of the country for information. The National League of Commission Mer- chants will mail list of rules for join- ing their organization and list of menl- bers in each town or city, and the state agricultural department, has offered to forward all bulletins and pamphlets Of interest to the farmers individually.
 A general discussion of the probability of producing for this seasons market proved that the first truck shipped from Bessemer for northern markets will be that maturing in November and continu- ing through February. The crop has not been selected yet as the farmers are not informed of the seasonable demand for that time.
 J. H. D. Smith outlined plan of or ganization, elilninating the dues, by al lowing the agent a 3 per cent commits sicn, the commission merchant per cent, and making a pledge of all his crop the only initiation fee necessary.
 Farmer Clements spoke of the benefit he had received from several farm jour nals and offered the joan of his collection of books on farming methods to the other members. The fair weather detained many of the farmers at home, so the meeting adjourned after this and next Saturday set for the election of officers and conl- pletion of organization.

 The mayors court Saturday morning was the scene of a busy session.
 Phoebe Teacher, the cook of Mrs. Eliza Sullivan, pleaded not guilty to the charge of stealing lumber last Tuesday night, but evidence proving otherwise she was fined $7 50. The outcome of Phoebe's ar rest or rather attempted arrest on last Wednesday, was the trial of Mrs. Eliza Sullivan and daughter, Mrs. Rosa Cahill. for interfering with Officer Stouten- borough in the discharge of his duty.
 It was decided that somebody interfered to the extent that the cook was not ar rested on that occasion and Mrs. Eliza Sullivan was fined s12.5O for that inter ference. Mrs. Cahil was acquitted.
 The sequel to the mornings events was the swearing out of three warrants, charging abusive language. defamation of character and assault with weapon on Mrs. Cahil by H. F, Cahill for the arr rest of Officer Stoutenborough. These were duly served by Deputy Sheriff Smithson and bond of $50 made for each one. The case will be tried in the Bes- semer city court during the present term.

WAS DEAD AT THROTTLE
WHEN TRAINS CRASHED
According to Officials, Engineer OF
Erie & Pittsburg Passenger Died
Before Accident.

Erie, Sept. 5.-That death was a.
the throttle of Erie & Pittsburg pas
senger train No. POI when it crashed
into a freight At Dock Junction 'ast
night is the firm belief Of officials and
the coroner, after an investigation to-
day and a talk with Fireman James
Firman, who is in hospital here.
According to Firman's story Engineer
John Jones, who has been a we'll
known engineer for IS years, must
have been dead long before the crash,
because for five miles he ran past Sig
mails set against him. The train crash
ed into the freight with the throttle
wide open, and it is Firmanis belief,
in which officials coincide, that the
engineer died in his cab some time
before the crash came. No more bodies
have been found in the wreck, and
it is believed the death list will not
exceed the three already reported.

NEED OF COOPERATION.
Sneakers Say Farmers Must work TO-
gether-BrOOks Fears the
Trusts.

Shawnee, Okla, Sept. 5.-That the
farmers of America will be owned and
controlled by trusts within the next
80 years if they do not cooperate ana
conserve their efforts was the. warn
ing issued today by President 1. D.
Brooks, Of Tennessee, in his response
to the address of welcome at the open
ing session of the National Farmers
union.
United States Senator Thos. P.
Gore, who followed Mr.. Brooks, took
up the cudgels for cooperation and
his speech was confined mostly to am
plifying the statements of Brooks.
"You farmers will be buried deep
er in misery than ever if you do not
COOPERATE" declared the blind senator
s'More attention must be given to busl-
ness if you are to be successful"
Former State Senator Campbell Rus
sell in his address of welcome on be-
half of the Oklahoma Farmers union
denied a statement recently made by
the secretary of the State Bankers
association that the cotton crop OF the
State for 1911 will net the planters
s75,OOO,OOO. every intelligent farmer
knows that this years crop will do
we'll to bring s45,OOO,00O," said Rus
sell. THAT is if the present prices are
maintained"
Secretary A. G.. Davis, Of the Ma
tional union is receiving number OF
letters and telegrams from farmers
in the cotton belt urging the delegates
to pass resolution to hold cotton
for 13 to Is cents All of the remain
ing meetings will be executive. Every
DELEGATE represents 5000 members.
A great number of telegrams from
commercial clubs, newspapers, busl-
ness men and bankers of cotton grow
ing States were received today pledg-
ing support to any "holding plan" the
national union may adopt. While
nothing official has been given out re-
garding the price that farmers will
be asked to place on their cotton, it
is said the convention probably will
agree on from 13 to Is cents.

ed OF Manslauglter.

Special to The Herald and News.
Abbeville, Sept. THE court OF
general sessions in ADbeVille this
week is remarkable in that there are
three white men who are called to
answer to the charge of killing near

nected and have large family influence.
Two of them have Already been con-
victed of manslaughter, and the third

Jury of his country.
C. n. Pearman was convicted OF
manslaughter as the result Of the kill
ing of his frst-cousin, J. G. Nance, last
October. Pearman was tried at the
spring term of court and a mistrial
resulted. Pearman and Nance were
young married men, close friends, liV-
ing Just across the road from eacn
other some twelve miles out in the
country. The tragedy happened On a
Sunday morning in October, the testi-
mony being largely to the effect that
the difficulty resulted from the use OF
too much liquor. Pearman was sen
fenced by Judge Gage to serve three
years.
J. H. Ferguson, a well-to-do far
mer of the county, killed his father II
November of last year, and Wos this
week convicted of manslaughter, ano
sentenced to serve five years. The
father, J. P. Ferguson, and his Wl1e
