Mr.. James Adams Loses Hand.

On last Saturday Mr.. James
Adams, who lives in the Pleasant
Plains section, about five miles from
Heath Springs, met with very pain
full and serious accident. One of his
hands was caught in the machinery
at the Roberts gin and was so badly
crushed that II had to be amputated.

CARS WE'RE PACKED.

AS is usual with troop trains the
coaches were we'll filed, and when
the three cars tumbled through the
trestle the men had little chance.
The dead and injured were entangled
in twisted mass, making it difficult
to remove dead bodies or rescue the
injured.
Because of confusion, due to poor
wire communication, it was deemed
wise to ascertain how many of the
injured were expected to die or who
they were.
The first report of the wreck sent
to the war department was that 12
had been killed, but soon after 1t was
sent other bodies were found. Super
intendent Pigford is firm in his be-
lief that at least four more bodies
are in the wreckage, but until the
debris is cleared final statement of
the casualties cannot be made.

M 'ADOO EXPLAINS
CURRENCY MEASURE
Secretary of Treasury Sees
Needless Apprehension.
ON 2 PER CENT BONDS.
Currency Measure When Passed
Will be Acceptable to All
the People.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Bankers
In all parts OF the country are writ
Ing to the treasury department for
information as to what will be the
effect of the pending currency reform
bill upon the government per cent
bonds. Secretary McAdoo has made
public letter he had addressed to
r. ID. Duncan of Little Rock, Ark, as
typical of the replies he is making to
all such inquiries.
81 have your letter of the 18th
inst, in which you inclose copies OF a
circular issued by bankers In ST.
Louis in reference to the 2 per cent
bonds" the secretary wrote. II am
surprised that a reputable banking
house would sponsor a circular dis
closing such a lack of information
upon such an important matter. If
you have read the pending measure
you will see that the government is
dealing more than fairly with the
holders of these securities. The bill
contains the following provisions:
First, that the holders of IS may
exchange them for 8 per cent bonds
without the circulation privilege, pro-
vided the entire amount exchanged
in any one year shall not exceed 5 per
cent of the outstanding IS. This is
privilege granted to the banks,
which they may or may not accept as
their interest dictate. Certainly 1T
is not disadvantage to have this
privilege.

TWENTY ARE KILLED
AND 100 INJURED
Mobile and Ohio Train Falls
- Through Trestle.
LOADED WITH SOLDIERS
The Dead Were Members of Com
panies From Fort Morgan and
Barancas En- Route to Fair.

Meridian, Miss, Oct. 19.-Twenty
soldiers were killed and more than
one hundred persons injured when a
portion of a special train on the Mo-
bile and Ohio Railroad plunged
through a trestle near State Line,
Miss, this afternoon. The tender
and three coaches fell a distance of
twenty-five feet.
The wreck was caused by the en-
gine tender jumping the track about
two hundred feet from a trestle. The
engine was not derailed and passed
over the trestle safely. The tender
broke loose from the engine, how
ever, and plunged with the baggage
car and three coaches to the ground,
twenty-five feet below.
At O'Clock tonight sixteen bodies
had been taken from the wreckage
and superintendent Pigford said in
his report he was sure four more
bodies were in the debris, which will
not be cleared away for twenty-four
hours.

WE'RE BOUND FOR FAIR.

One hundred and seventy-nine SOL
diers we're on board the special train.
They were from Fort Morgan and
Fort Barancas. They were en- route
to Meridian to participate in the
Mississippi-Alabama joint state fair.
They were under command of Major
Taylor. The men had been taken to
Mobile early Sunday and at noon
their ill-fated special left Mobile.
AS meagre news Of the wreck fill
tered into Meridian a special relief
train bearing physicians and nurses
left for the scene. Other trains left
from Mobile and Whistler, Ala. When
It was learned in Mobile that a train
bearing the dead and wounded was
bound for that city another train car
rying more doctors and nurses was
sent to meet the one bearing the vic
tins.

TO BE REDEEMED.

Second, that at the end of 20
years all the outstanding 2s shall be
paid at par and interest. AS it now
stands the per cent bonds are re-
deemable after 1880 at the pleasure
of the government only. They are
therefore irredeemable so long as the
government does not choose to pay
them. The bill gives them definite
due date No one would be so rash
as to claim that this Injuries their
value.
81 can not understand why any ma
tional banks should sell it's bonds at
present quotations. Certainly there
is nothing in the pending legislation
to Justify such action. My attention
recently has been called to items APP
pearing in various newspapers as to
statements in circular letters pri-
vately distributed, calculated to
cause apprehension about the per
cent bonds.

PEOPLE ARE NERVOUS.

The effect of all this seems to be
the creation of a belief on the part
of a few nervous people that the
currency measure is so bad that num-
bers of the national banks will go
out of the system If the bill should
be passed and that large amount OF
IS will, as a result, seek market;
that the market would be too mar
row to absorb all the offerings and
that the price may, therefore, go very
low reasonable amount OF re-
Election should satisfy any one that
there is no danger of this eventuality.
"The present market quotations
for government 2s should not be
taken too seriously. 1t does not in
dicate real value. The president of
one of the largest Southern banks
was in my Office recently and told me
he desired to buy $1S5,000 of the 2s.
He said he was assured by New York
bankers that if he gave this order to
purchase at the market, it would re-
suit in advancing the price several
points.
"I can see no ground for appre-
hension by the banks about the cur
rency bill or it's effects. I am con-
fident the measure, when passed, will
be acceptable to the country and that
it will prove of enduring benefit to
to banks, to the general business in
terests and to all the people. This is
not a time to take counsel of foolish
and unfounded fears, but 1T Is a time
when every citizen, regardless of
class or occupation, should patriot
cally support the government in its
efforts to correct the manifest defects
and abuses of our financial system
and to give 1t greater stability and
security"

IMPORTANT INFORMATION in REGARD
TO THREE YEAR FINAL PROOF

Decision which is very important
to homesteaders making final proof
under the three year law, has just
been received at the U. s. commits
sioner's office.
The final proof showed that the
homesteader established residence
on the claim, August 1, 1909, and
was absent from the last of August,
1910 to December 20, 1910, on &C
count of the sickness and death in
his brothers family, and that he
lived there continuously the balance
OF the time. The decision states
that this showing is sufficient. On
account of some irregularity in the
proof. a special agent was instruct
ed to make an examination. His
report shows that the homesteader
resided on the claim 81 months and
nine days, between August 1. 1903
and September 4, 1912, and was alb
sent from the calm fifteen months
and twenty-s'x days during hat
time; that he was absent one
month in 1909, one period of two
months and five days and one
period of four months and twenty
four days in 1910; one period of
n month and fifteen days. and
another period of two months in
1911; and period of four months
and twelve days in 1912. The home.
