b The crop estimates OF the Depart
Ment OF Agriculture, which have come
TO be regarded as the only agricultural
reports that are without bias and
therefore trustworthy, place the cot
ton Yield for 1911 at close to $4,000
! 900 ! bales. The forecast indicates that
the; yield will be greater than in 1909
the year when all previous records in
cotton growing In this country were
broken. The government estimates
are more than sustained by the in
I creased cotton movements during the
past two months. The Quantity Of
cotton ginned up to September was
twice as great us the quantity ginned
y during the same period Of any previ
GUS year, and up to September Is
there was ginned ! 100000 more bales
than during last year, and 100000
bales more than In any previous year
during the same period. If judged by
5the ginning ratios, the crop this year
would be'close to 100000 bales. 1t

prosperity, the Wall Street Journal
remarks. y. "'The corn crop is the

SEVEN MEN
Continued from page One).

Fireman Morris, Brakeman Geo. A.
Holman, Engineer Thos. j. Deegah
and Brakeman Arthur Ford were all
removed to the Miners hospital where
they are now being looked after. The
surgeons in charge are not sure about
the injuries OF the men as yet. as some
OF them may be suffering from inter.
nal injuries which may prove fatal.
The curve where this accident oc-
curerd Is very sharp one, and at the
place where the engines came togeth.
err, the curve is SO extremely sharp
that you can not see ahead on the
track for a distance OF more than IS
yards. The curve follows the bend In
the river, and had either OF the en-
gines overturned, far worse accident
might have happened, and the track Is
one the sheer edge Of rs foot bank.
The injured men after being re.
moved from the wreckage were taken
to the home of foreign track fore.
man nearly. where they were looked
after rs well as possible until the re.
lief train arrived.
The wreckage was cleared away,
and the main track cleared at one
o'clock this afternoon, under the ell.
Client management of Yard Master
Harrington, Train Master Grossnickle,
and Wreck Master Mulligan.
One of the peculiar incidents about
this occurance Is that Railroad men
claim that this only sustains their old
superstitution that whenever there Is
change In officials that there Is a
bad accident. This morning former
Superintendent OF this division H. R.
Laughlin this Division was trans
rerred to Baltimore where he will take
new position as the head Of the New
Discipline Department, and Mr.. Kee.
gan OF Wheeling came to Grafton as
Superintendent Of this division, this
being the first morning that his name
had been signed to the train orders.
Mr.. Ed. Shaver, OF Worthington,
stood on the Worthington side Of the
river this morning, and saw the nc.
cident occur, seeing the men jump and
the actual collision.
Many Of the other residents OF Wor.
thington saw the accident. and hur.
ried to the scene Immediately, giving
all aid possible to the injured men.
The fourth car in the train coming
from Clarksburg was also derailed
but this caused no serious damage.
The fifth car in this train was bad.
ly smashed up. AS yet no blame has
been laid for the accident, but MS
near rs can be ascertained, although
this information is not official, the
extra train 1929 was switching ut the
Worthlngton switch, and had flag.

switching, and were pulling out onto

signal OF blowing the whistle n Ger.
tain number of times. 3 IT,
The hagman started TO return to his
engine, and Just at this time, while
he was on his way back to his engine
the other train rushed by him. He saw
what was about to occur, and It Is
understood that he said that he clos
ed his eyes as the trains met.
An official investigation will be
held as soon as possible, and the
blame laid where 1t belongs.

But there'll be @no more automobile
riding in mine;
All hands around and all give lift.
The automobile from the rut to shift"
We lifted and lifted and lifted in vain
And all our energy was spent in with
out gain.
Jamison then from a fence a board
tore
And we raised the car up with
whoop and a roar.
All aboard for Hot Springs, "the
chauffeur cried"
But before very long puncture we
spied.
Everybody out to help fix the tire;
Poney said "this job l do admire"
The tire was fixed and put back in
place
When, each one pumped, till he was
blue in the face;
Poney was tall and his back it did
hurt
And said no more air in the tire he'd
squirt.
We pumped and pumped till VIC were
all in rage
When Mr.. Younger would come with
his testing gauge
Then on with his glasses, at the gauge
he would look
And for fear of more pumping we
verify shook.
Then out he would cry: $50 pounds
want and 80 I've got
Get hold of the pump boys, and keep
her hot"
We pumped the tire, like a house
afre
And everyone then the ride did ad-
mire.
"Little Rock next" the Chauffeur
cried
In few miles further the electric
lights we spied;
Then to garage we tore
We all were hungry as never before.
After supper to a hotel we all went
But we had too much money that
never was spent.
Then to show we went one by one
We turned in rather early but brimful
of fun.
Arose early next morning to finish the
trip
Everything was neat as ship;
The car was refilled with Budweiser
and ice
And as the dust made us thirsty, it
surely was nice.
We were smoking and talking and
and some of us drinking
And where we were going we were
not thinking;
Thirteen out on the wrong road we
did hate
But we had to turn back and endure
this sad fate.
Then back we drove to where we went
wrong
And started again with laughter and
song;
In very late hour in Hot Springs we
landed landed
Poney's friends to us warm welcome
landed
