Carried Setting Hen to the Picnic.

One of the good women of Moores-
vile called the attention of the news
man to an incident that was pulled
off at this place on picnic day last
month. A pair of young counting
couples meandered about over the
picnic grounds until they were quite
tired out, and finding vacant sur
ry, climbed into the vehicle to rest.
Shortly after they had settled on
their perch the owner of the vehicle
came up and asked the couple in the
front seat to move in order that he
could get his feed box. When he
placed his hand under the seat to
pull the box out, he was startled by
severe prick in the flesh. He first
thought one of the young men had
put up job on him, but upon in
yestigation, found that one of his
fine Rhode Island Red hens had
stolen nest under the surry seat,
and was busily sitting on a nest full
of eggs. She had come probably
eight miles that morning, but was
not disturbed in the least by the
music of the merry-go-round or the
pratle of the lovesick swain over her
nest. The hen was not further dis
turbed, but was carried back home
with safety, and she now has seven
teen of the prettiest biddies that can

This years grain crop in the Uni

case of a number of products will

mates are not overthrown by con-
ditions at present unforeseen.
The country's corn crop, estimated
at ASH 100000 bushels, will be the
largest in the nations history, with
the exception of the years 1906 and
1910, the former being the banner
year with 2,927 100000 bushels. AS
for the wheat crop, estimated at
100000, 900 bushels, that will rank
fifth in size during the past twenty
years.
The oat crop will be the largest

this year will establish a new record
the estimated yield of 202,000,O0O
bushels being 100000 bushels
greater than that of 1906. the previ-
Gus best year. The yield of rye, 49,

One Battleship to Be Built This
Year.
Washington, Aug. 19.-One battle
ship, to cost $7,425,000 without
armor or armament and not to ex-
coed 100000 when completed;
eight submarines, costing $4,4S0,OOO,
and fleet Of torpedo boats, GOLFERS
and machine ships, constitute the
building program for the navy ap-
proved today by the Senate, and
which probably will be dopted with
out change by the House.
The House and Senate conferees
on the naval bill met early today and
adjusted in a few minutes the fight
between the two houses over battle
ships and submarines. The Senate
yielded to the demand of the House
for one battleship instead of two; but
secured in exchange the full fleet of
eight submarines, instead of the four
proposed by the House.
The conference report was brought
into the Senate and adopted without
opposition. Senator Thornton, Demo
'crat, declared the Senate conferees
should have adhered to their demand
for two battleships.

Train Held Up and Robbed Near
Biltmore.

A lone robber. masked and armed,
boarded Southern Railway train No.
13, Spartanburg to Asheville, at
1920 o'clock on the night of the
18th as it was leaving Biltmore, three
miles from this city, and covering the
express messenger, Z. F. Carr, OF
Marion, with a revolver secured a
package containing $500 in bills.

get in the express chest which he had
just rified and locked him in it. 1t

train as 1t slowed up for the Ashe-
vile yards.
Asheville, Aug. 19.-Rumors no
the streets of Asheville today were to
the effect that E. F. Carr, the express
messenger who was jailed late Satur-
day night on the charge of robbing
the express car, had made a written
confession and had given it to officials
of the Southern Express Company,
Car refuses to talk on the subject
at all, and the express officials are
equally silent, it being understood that
there is another man implicated, and
they will not talk for fear of putting
him on his guard
Story Smelled Too "Fishy.''
Carr was arrested late Saturday
night, although he had been virtual
~ under arrest ever since the time he
left his, run last Thursday night, after
telling thrilling story of masked
bandit, who, he claimed, boarded the
train between Asheville and Bilt-
more, showed a pistol into his face,
and, after robbing him of a package
of money, forced him to get into a
chest and then latched the chest.
Suspected From the First.
AS soon as Carr made known the
facts of the alleged robbery, a special
officer of the Southern Railway took
charge of him, and stayed with him
day night, keeping him under
surveillance until Saturday night,
when Carr was placed in jail
