BRYAN NOT MAKING EXPENSES,
Secretary of State Says He Has to
Lecture to Make Ends Meet.

Hendersonville, N. c., July 13.-
William Jennings Bryan, Secretary
of State, declared here to-day that
his salary as a member of President
Wilson's Cabinet was not sufficient
to meet his expenses. He gave this
as an explanation of why he expected
to continue his work as lecturer.
''As this is my first Chautauqua
lecture since becoming member of
the Cabinet" said Secretary Bryan,
"It may not be out of place to say
that I find it necessary to lecture in
order to supplement the salary which
receive from the Government. AS
have lectured for eig ghteen years,
this method of adding to my income
is the most natural one to which to
turn and I regard it as extremely
legitimate.
= 81 did not think it improper to go
from the Chautauqua platform into a
Presidential races and if I had been
elected l would have thought it no
stepping down to return to. the lee
ture platform. These meetings en-
able me to keep in touch with the

HOW EGYPT MARKETS
COTTON GROWN THERE.
Ancient Land Has Lessons for American Farm
ers-Not Up-to-Date in Our
Farming Methods.

face the fact that the Egyptian crop
is produced at cost approximately
no greater than American cost, and
yet the Egyptian cotton, by reason Of
superior quality, sells for about 6
cents a pound more. In other words,
decline of cents a pound below
the current market price would still
leave fair profit to Egyptian pro-
ducers and would not cause any re-
duction in the Egyptian output, while
such a decline would carry American
cotton below the cost of production,
and we! know from sad experience
how difficult it is under the present
methods and conditions of tenant
farming in the United States to ad-
just supply to demand. Therefore,
it behooves American cotton growers
to reduce the cost of production by
more intense cultivation, by the use
and development of varieties of su-
perior staple, and especially by elimi-
mating the waste and graft in Ameri-
can methods of sampling, baling and
marketing.
But while Egypt is somewhat a
menace in respect to her low cost of
production, we are gratiied to be able
to report sympathetic attitude upon
the part of the representative and in
fuential Egyptian planters and the
British advisory administration of
Egypt in respect to all the marketing
problems which concern the produ-
GERS of both countries alike, and es-
pecially with respect to securing &C
curate information concerning cot
ton consumption."

MACON MOTORCYCLIsT KILLED
O'Brien Said He'd Win or Break His
Neck-His Neck was Broken.

Macon, Ga, July 10.-Martin A.
O'Brien, local motorcyclist, was
killed in the races here this after
noon. The event in which O'Brien
met his death was the pursuit race in
which the starters, four in number,
were placed at different points on the
track, and as soon an one racer pass
ed another the man passed was out of
the running.
On the second round of the track,
which was slippery because of a light
rainfall, O'Brien's machine skidded
and he was thrown for some distance
and slid for hundred feet on his
back. The handle-bars of his motor
cycle were broken.
"Give me another machine" he
yelled. ''I'll win the race or break my
neck" Another machine was quick
ly obtained and O'Brien started
again. He had not been passed by
the man following him and was gain
ing on the man ahead. On the third
round, almost the same spot, which
also happens to be the very spot
where Aviator Ely was killed nearly
two years ago, his machine again
skidded and crashed into a fence in
front of the Agricultural building,
used by the Stat te Fair.
O'Brien was thrown violently over
his handle-bars and his head struck
some timbers. His neck was broken
and his skull fractured. Three
thousand persons were along side the
track at the time of the accident.
Hundreds rushed to the scene, in
cluding several doctors. 1t was found
that O'Brien had been killed almost
instantly. The race ended there.

MRS. CRAWFORD SURRENDERS.
Atlanta Woman Makes Denial Of
Killing Husband.

Aldntd, I'd, July lo.-G Jul .Sdlo
after the alleged crime was commit
ted. Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford, so
years old, was arrested here early to-
day on the charge Of having murder
ed her wealthy husband, Joshua B.
Crawford, by giving him morphine
and opium. She is held prisoner
without bail in the county Jail.
The accused woman returned to At
lanta from Tucker, Ga, where she
had gone on a business trip, at 2
o'clock this morning, after she learn
ed that Charles 2. Crawford, one of
the heirs-at-law of the dead capital
ist, had sworn out a warrant in which
she was charged with the murder.
She went Immediately to the county
iail, surrendered herself to Sheriff
C. w. Mangum, and was placed in
CELL Her preliminary hearing will
be held Wednesday before Justice G.
H. Girardeau.
Hiers-at-law of the dead man, who
have civil suit pending in the local
Courts to have his will set aside, re-
Gently had the body exhumed from
the family burying ground at Carroll
ton, Ca, and an examination made
by DR.. H. F. Harris, secretary of the
State board of health. DR.. Harris
testified last week in the civil suit
that he found traces of morphine
and meuconic acid, an element of
opium, in the stomach of Crawford.
He asserted that he did not believe
death resulted from pneumonia, as
was given out at the time of the de-
mise.
Denies the Charge.
"Of course, I deny the whole
CHARGE" said Mrs. Crawford tonight.
1T is just one thing piled on another
to make me spend my money in law
yers' fees and to humiliate and hound
me because heirs-at-law of my hus-
band want more than their share of
the estate and bate me-
The estate of the dead man is val
ued at s25O,000. Much of it is real
estate in this city. His widow, under
the terms of the will, is the chief
beneficiary of the property. The es-
tate has been in dispute since-short-
ly after Crawford's death, in March,
1909.
Mrs. Crawford was married to the
dead capitalist in February; 1909, at
Jacksonville, Fla, where he had
gone on account of i'll health. The
marriage followed courtship of less
than month. Crawford roomed and
took his meals at the home of the de,
.fendant. The aquaihtanceship thus
begun eliminated in the marriage:
The couple returned to this city and
one month later Crawford died. He
was Is years old at the time, more
than 25 years older than his wife.
Morphine Administered.
DR.. J. W. Hurt, of this city, who at
tended Crawford during his last ILL
ness, to-day issued a statement In
which he said that he had given
Crawford medicine containing NOR
phine and meuconic acid. ~.
Il gave Mr.. Crawford morphine to
alleviate his suffering" said DR.. Hurt.
81 also gave him cough mixture that
will we'll account for the presence of
meuconic acid. I have never testified
anything else.

Welaht OF Trains.

The extreme weight and speed Of
modern railway trains is train
weighing 400 tons moving at veloc
ity of seventy.ive miles an hour.
Many people are amazed at the de
struction effected by railway trains
when they strike an object at rest,
such as a delayed train. A mass OF
400 tons propelled at seventy-five
miles an hour contains energy nearly
twice as great as tina, Of a 2.000-pound
shot fired from a 1c0-ton Armstrong
gun. No wonder that such a train
proves a terribly destructive projec-

tess of the night over a wild and
.mountainously rough road the man
owes his life
One of the laborers working upon
the grade had been injured slightly in
the arm by a flying piece of wood.
Carelessness in the handling of this
evidently trivial wound caused blood
poisoning, and before it was realized.
the man was almost at deaths door,
and only the quick attendance of
doctor could save him.
The only animal in the whole camp
that was in any way serviceable was
medium weight horse used for
hauling the dump cart on the rock cut.
There was no saddle and the only
person in camp that was of sufii-
cient light weight to be carried by
the animal for any distance to make
any speed was fifteen-year-old Mary
Fowler.
The nearest doctor was at the main
camp, % miles down the line, and
the country between was of the
widest nature, only thin, half blazed
. trail winding in and out and swollen
running mountain stream also in the
pathway between the two camps.
But little Mary was game, and
astride the clumsy workhorse, with
only tightly strapped on blanket for
saddle, the girl started out over the
mountain trail on a 22-mile dash with
death.
Darkness falls quickly these early
winter days, and though she started
at four in the afternoon it was almost
black dark before she had covered
quarter the distance. The horse, too,
tired with the days work on the
grade, was slow and insure of foot,
and made but poor time in spite of
he frantic urging of it's rider.
v A little over ten miles from the
camp, where the injured man lay dy-
ing a swollen mountain stream cross
es the trail, and though the stream at
this point is not more than 90 feet
across, it is deep enough to force an
animal to swim. A rough bridge had
been built for the crossing of foot pas
sengers, but no accommodation had
been made for animals. And the
horse absolutely baked at going into
the water. Crying and frantic, the girl
beat the animal and at last induced it
to take to the water. The first few
feet from the shore the water is fair
ly shallow, but when the old dump
horse felt the water creeping up
around its belly, it wheeled sharply
around and plunged back to the
bank.
Not vanquished, the girl leaped from
the animals back and leaving it be-
hind, started on foot to do the remain
ing twelve miles that lay between her
and the doctor.
In little more than three hours
after she had left her home camp she
arrived at the headquarters, and the
doctor was ON his return tourney This
