DESTROY RECORD: \
 SAVE DAYS WORK
Prank Came Near Invali- dating Entire Proceed
 ings of the Senate

l Montgomery. March 16-(Special )- | Timely destruction of the early morning
 journal of the state senate was the only
 saving grace for the constitutionality of
 todays session of that august body. While the work of the upper house was
 the most pronounced of the season. in so far as volume was concerned, 1t would
 have gone for naught but for the eradica- | tion of the scroll.
 II all came about as a result of the mo- tion of Senator Moultrop of Wednesday afternoon, when he secured the consent
 of the solons to adjourn until o'clock on Thursday morning. At the time little at-
 tention was paid to the prank but develop
 ments of today showed that the situation,
 had there been less forethought, would have been serious to a degree
 Responding to the order of the chair, Senators Allen of Lauderdale. and Sloan of Blount counties, assembled in the sen-
 ate at the adopted hour of today, and
 called upon Secretary Kyle to call the
 body to order. The secretary did so,
 after which Senator Sloan, despite his re-
 publican proclivities, was elected presl- dent pro tenn. of the body, with Senator Allen as the state senate. Senator Allen led in prayer, after which the roll was called. Finding that there was no quor-
 um, the senate adjourned until II o'clock tomorrow, an hour which under the states constitution would have been re- spected but for destruction of the journal
 prior to the assembly of the entire body, For while the two senators had the to in, ba a;ritr ha o11o predicament, a pronounced sigh of re- lief being breathed when they ex-
 plained that the early journal had been given to the flames.

ONION CROP WILL
 BE LARGEST EVER Southwest Texas Ready to
 Begin Harvest-Date and Fig Culture

San Antonio, Tex, March 16-(Special.) Harvesting the Bermuda onion crop in southwest Texas will begin with the 20th of this month. Those in touch with prospects declare that the crop this year will be much larger than ever before Last year the Laredo district alone shipped more than 1900 cars in carload lots. The crop this year in that locality indicates that this will be Increased by almost 1000 cars, one farmer in that vi- cinity having almost 800 acres devoted to this vegetable. Reports from Asherton and Crystal City, both in the great ar tesian belt; Cotulla, the Lower Rio Grande valley, and the gulf coast country all in- dicate a greater production than ever be- fore Notwithstanding the increased de- mand for the Texas-grown onion, indica- tions are to the effect that prices will be fully as profit-producing as they were last year. The crop this year means ad ditional millions to the farmers of the Lone Star state.
 Date culture is rapidly finding a place in the fruit productions of southwest Texas. For the past five years those who know how to grow this delicious fruit have been making experiments in many parts of the country and have met with such success that many large orchards are being planted and the cultivation very much broadened. The production of this fruit is no longer an experiment, those interested being thoroughly con vinced that it can be grown here profit ably, and maintain that in very short time Texas will become one of the great date producing belts of the world. Last fall at the land exhibit at Chicago dates sent from many parts of the southwest section of the state attracted much at tention, and surprise was expressed that such splendid fruit could be grown in this part of the country. So far the Deg 1ator variety has given the best results. When 1t is known that this variety forms @ large part of the date of commerce, some notion of the value of the culti- vation in Texas can be gathered.
 While Uvalde county is thescenter of the great "honey belt" of, Texas. and is rec ognized as the greatest honey producing section in the nation, farmers in that To- cality are not confining their efforts alone to honey development This spring more than 5000 acres have been added to the cultivated area. Much of this vast tract will be devoted to the cultivation of figs. The Business Mems club of Uvalde has agitated fig culture and all ready more than 10000 trees have been planted this year. and orchards will in- crease both in size and number, the culti- vation of this fruit having proven highly profitable. During the early experiments in fig growing in southwest Texas it was maintained that this fruit could be grown only in the gulf coast section. But farm CTS have discovered that the banks of ir,iC iop dffohac ba utilized and that they serve the double purpose of preventing erosion and insuring in creased production. It has also been found that the fruit thrlves on the up- lands. and that dry land orchards re- turn satisfactory profits.

STRIKE FATALITIES WERE EXAGGERATED None Killed, Though Six
 Are Injured FREIGHT IS BLOCKED Queen and Crescent Traffic Is Badly Hindered and All Freight Ship
 ments Are Refused-The
 Strikers Unyielding

Cincinnati, March 16.--Infermation con- tained in reliable reports that have reached this city today show that there Is no truth in the rumors of numerous killings in connection with the strike of the firemen of the Cincinnati, New Or leans and Texas Pacific railroad.
 The facts show that none have been killed as result of the strike and that only six men have been injured. Five of these are not even seriously hurt, while the other man is reported to have a chance for recovery. On March 10 Lester Silver, an engineer, was shot near Stearns Ky. His condition is not se- rious. March 12 James Carl, a defective employed by the railroad, was shot and possibly fatally injured at Glen Mary Tenn. March 13 Charles Swartz was re- ported shot at Glen Mary, but later de- velopments showed that he fell from the cab of his engine during a disturbance in which no one was seriously hurt. To- day William Powell, a strikebreaker, was roughly handled at Kings Mountain. but Is not in a serious condition Besides these white men, two negroes George Jones and Will Wright, were shot near Stearns, Ky, last week, but both are re- covering.
 This is the sum total of the disturb ances of the strike thus far as shown by reports received and verified here.
 The railroad issued notice here tonight outlining it's position in regard to the strike. The notice points out that the roads agreement with the firemen applies to all firemen, both white and negroes, and also that no negroes are employed as engineers on the road and that negroes will not be promoted to engineers under any circumstances.
 Somerset Ky, March 16.-County Judge R. Tartar, County Attorney R. B. Waddle and Sheriff J. M. Waddle have united in statement explaining the situation aris- ing from the strike of white f1remen on the Queen and Crescent route They de- clare there has been no disorder in Pu- laski county beyond the controlling au- thorities. and that no deputy sheriffs will be sworn in.
 They also unite in stating that the strih- CTS have behaved themselves in an ex- emplary manner.
 report was sent out of here tha f District Judge Betherum had ordered the mobilization of 300 special deputies. This report, they say, was wrong and it's source is being investigated.
