ardor nor did the fact that the place
had grown up thicklv with bushes and
small trees.

Chicago, June 26.-Twenty-one per-
sons were injured, several seriously,
at midnight, when Chicago and Mil
waukee electric train of three cars
loaded with members Of the Chicago
singing societies who were returning
from the North American Saengerbund
convention in Milwaukee, crushed into
the rear end of another train between
North Chicago and Waukegan.
The wreck was due to the heavy foe
which obliterated the tall lights on the
train. More than 400 passengers were
on the two trains and these were
thrown into a panic when the light;
went out and they left in the country
in darkness.
Relief parties were sent from Cal

peal of near CD beer and locker clubs.
Nearly the entire congregation arose,
thus evidencing endorsement of the

BLACK ROOT PLAGUE
INVADES NORTH GEORGIA
1t Has Appeared in Campbell
Comfy

Atlanta, Ga, June 26.-State Ento-
mologist E. L. Worsham, has just re-
ceived word that the black root, that
dreaded disease of young cotton in
Georgia, which heretofore has confined
fself almost exclusively to South Geor-
gia, has made its appearance in Camp
bell county, one of the leading cotton
growing counties in North Georgia,
Entomologsit Worsham states that the
black root has made itself manifest IN
practically half of the counties If
Georgia and it now looks as though it
will reach many more.
He makes the encouraging state
ment, however, that the resistant va
rieties of cotton seed which the De-
partment of Agriculture have cultivat-
ed and distributed among the black
root infested counties of South Geor-
gia are showing splendid results and
are not succumbing to the attacks OF
this disease In strong contrast to
this resistant variety is the common
cotton of South Georgia, which has
been attacked again by the black root
this year. 1t is estimated that several
hundred thousand dollars are lost to
the farmers of Georgia through the
damage done by this cotton disease
This loss is felt all the more keenly by
the farmers of Georgia in view of the
ever increasing demand for cotton
seed products throughout the country
This year, more than ever, cotton
seed meal is being fed to live stock
and the refined products of cotton seed
oil which is pronounced the most
Wholesome vegetable oil on the mar
ket, are meeting with tremendous
sales. The consumers with the plant
ers are watching with interest the
outcome of the black root disease on
the cotton fields of the South.

There is only one way to cure deaf

have a rumbling sound or imperfect

COUPLE in CUSTODY TO
BE TRIED ON CHARGE
White Man and Woman We're
Arrested Here

A somewhat sensational case was
heard in private in the police court
yesterday by Mayor Protein Bolton
growing out of the arrest of a white
man, Skinner by name, hailing from
South Carolina. The woman in the
case" was not arrested then. but
taken in custody later

was preferred against the defendant,
Skinner
Mayor Protein Bolton fined Skinner
$50, which he paid over, while a war
rant was also sworn out for him by
the county authorities. He was held
on $500 bail pending a trial of the
case. The woman, Mrs. White, was
ordered to remain here as witness
She, too, it is said, comes from South
Carolina.
But she remained not little bit
Securing a swift car she lit out with a
companion for other parts. CHIEF
Barrow located the car near Ellaville
and Mrs. White was arrested there
yesterday afternoon and brought back
to Americas on the Limited last night
She will probably be put under bond
today or held in custody as witness

New Orleans, June 26.-Cotton fu-
lures opened quiet at a decline of 2
POINTS on the old crop months and an
advance of l point on the new. Cables
we're not far from what was due and
we're generally called encouraging.
Several sections of Texas and Okla
homa sent in bad crop reports and
neither the map nor private accounts
noted any rainfall of consequence in
either state over Sunday Tempera-
lures were extremely high in Oklaho-
ma. This caused wave OF buying
and soon after the opening the new
crops were four points up. August
was also four up but July showed no
change from Saturdays close. Fresh
short buying sprung up on the rise
and at the end of the first half hour
of business the list was ? to 6 points
