the messenger, "Reb" Martin, in a
gunnysack, a masked man robbed the
express car attached to northbound
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fee passen-
ger train No. 2O2 of several packages
of currency, estimated to aggregate
about $4,000, and escaped from the
train at the village of Helbig, IL miles

went to Helbig from this city in auto
mobiles. have not found trace of the
bandit, who is believed to be hiding

VILLA REACHES T0RREON
Federal Stronghold Shelters 5000
Troops Under General Velasco.

Federal Stronghold Shelters 5000
Troops Under General velasco.
Constitutionalist Headquarters, Yer
mo, Durango, Mexico.-General Villa
and his army of $4,000 rebels invested
the federal stronghold of Torreon.
The khaki-clad columns occupied the
environs of the city without opposi-
ton, and in wheeling and dragging
field pieces into place to shell the
federal trenches, dug at every point
where the federal commander, Gen.
Refugio Velasco, expects attack.
Velasco's army is estimated to num-
Der 5000 men. South and southwest
of this city his position is regarded
as almost impregnable by reason of
the mountains, through which only
three passes run, and these have been
rendered almost impossible by FORTH
cations and barbed-wire entangle-
ments. In other directions the city
is reached through the desert and
high hills.

BUREAU REPORT
ON COTTON CROP
CROP is ONE OF THE LARGEST
EVER GROWN IN THE UNIT
ED STATES.
NEW METHOD IN REPORTING
Over Thirteen Million Running Bales
Produced by Southern Farmers,
Is the Report.

WashingtOn.-One of the largest
cotton crops ever grown, amounting
to 14,127,356 equivalent 500-pound
bales of linters, was produced by the
farmers of the United States during
1913, the census bureau announced in
it's preliminary report of. cotton gin
ned as reported by ginners and de-
linters to February %.
These figures compare with 13.7O3,-
421 equivalent 500-pound. bales OF lint
and 609,594 bales of linters last year,
and 15,692,701 bales of lint and 567,-
575 bales of Interest in 1911.
The department of agriculture's es-
innate, announced December IL, plac-
ed the 1913 crop at 1857, 900 equiya-
lent 500-pound bales.
The total value of the crop, includ-
ing the value of cotton seed, is unoff-
cially estimated roundly at more than
81, 200, 100000, compared with last
years 100000, 900, and 1868 ,000,-
900 for the previous most valuable
crop, that of 1910.
With this report the bureau of Gen.
sus departed from its previous method
Of reporting the cotton crop by not
including the quantity of linters in the
total production. Director William j.
Harris announced this was done be-
cause with the installation of modern
machinery closer delinting of seed had
increased the quantity of linters
and at the same time lowered the aver
age quality of the fiber so that now
only small part, if any, was used
as substitute for lint cotton.
The number of running bale of lint
cotton, counting round as half bales,
was 13,964,981, and of Inter cotton,
629,019 running bales, compared with
13,48S,539 running bales of lint and
602,324 running bales of linters last
year, and 15,553,073 runnigg bales of
linters in 1911.
Included in the production for 1913
are 29,267 bales, which ginners esti-
mated would be turned out after the
time of the March canvass.
Round bales included numbered 3d.
GIG compared with S1,52S last year and
101,554 in 1911.
Sea Island bales included 77,490 COM
pared with 1871 last year and lis, 1893
in 1911.
The average gross weight of bales
for the crop, counting round as half
bales and excluding linters, was 505.8
pounds, compared with $3.50 last year
and 5045 in 1911.

TWO Badly Hurt on Trestie.

Atlanta.-Edward L. HUE, senior at
Tech, and Miss Mabel Bixbie, a MILL
ner, were seriously injured when the
Seaboard Express No. from New
York City to New Orleans ran them
down as they were walking over a
trestle near this city. AS the fast train
swept around the curve, thirty minutes
late, the engineer saw the couple
crossing the steel structure. Too late,
he blew a warning blast. The couple
attempted to escape, but before they
ran ten feet the pilot of the engine
had tossed them into dry gulley.

SAWS THE VANDERBILT ESTATE
WOULD PAY STATE 100000
UNDER NJ. Y. LAW.
DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH
Doings and Happenings That Mark
the Progress of North Carolina Peo-
pie Gathered Around the State
Capitol.
Raleigh.

Secretary A. J. Maxwell, Of the coz
peration commission, calls attention
% the fact that had the North caro-
lima estate of the late George w. Van
derb1s been subject to inheritance
taxation under the New York instead
of the North Carolina inheritance tax
Jaw it would have paid into the state
treasury not less than half million
dollars instead of the 100000 in tax
that 1t is estimated that the North
Carolina state treasury will receive
from the estate as inheritance tax.
Under the New York Inheritance tax
law the Vanderbilt estate in that state
will pay four per cent under the in
heritance act into the state treasury
while in North Carolina it will only
pay one per cent into state treasury.
Mr.. Maxwell explains that the
North Carolina inheritance tax act
provides a fat one per cent tax on
all inheritances above exemptions ex-
cept to collateral relatives, making
the North Carolina rate as high as
the New York rate on small estates,
but the New York act has graduate
increase in rate for the larger estates.
He says this graduated system that
New York has is approved by nearly
all states and by the national associ-
alton on state and local taxation,
which is endeavoring to promote uni
formity of such taxation methods. He
points out that had the North Caro-
lima Inheritance law been the same
as the New York act State Treasu-
rer Lacy would have at least a half
million dollars more from the Wander
bilt estate alone. And this would
have taken care of the present deficit
in state finances and been felt by no
one.
Mr. Maxwell does not call atten-
ton to this in any criticism of the
legislature, which really provided
the state at the last session with de-
cidedly the best revenue act the
state has ever had and the best inner
itance tax law the state has yet had,
and that about half the Inheritance
tax the Vanderbilt estate will pay
will be due to improvements which
the last legislature made in that
statute. Still Mr.. Maxwell believes
that there is room for improvement
in this Inheritance tax act In getting
1t in line with the New York and most
of the other state statutes so that the
state will fare better in the future. He
insists that the principle of graduated
inheritance tax is too we'll recognized
by the other states to be longer neg
lected by North Carolina. He believes
that If the graduated principle in
taxation is justifiable anywhere it is,
in his opinion and the opinion of the
times, justifiable Inheritance taxes on
the large estates.

EUROPE CONTROLS RADIuM
Claimed Americans Fail to Recognize
Importance Of Radium.

Importance Of Radium.
Washington.-How the American
people failed to recognize the import
ance of radium as a cancer cure until
European countries had obtained vir-
tually all of the present available sup
ply, is graphically told in the annual
report of Joseph A. Holmes, director
of the federal bureau of mines, made
public. The report tells in detail Of
the bureaus unsuccessful efforts to
obtain a quantity of radium sufficient
to supply the twenty or more hospi-
tails of the public health service and
"serve in part to meet the needs of
the various cancer hospitals of the
country"
Director Holmes estimates that Gin
the United States $4,000 persons die
each year from cancer. Explaining
that radium is considered the most
promising cure for certain types of
cancer, the director says the most
serious barrier to progress in demon
strating this is the scarcity of radium.
There probably is not more than
thirty grams of radium now available
for use in such treatment in all coun-
tries" the report says. "Of this amount
there probably is not more than two
grams of radium bromide in the Unit
ed States, in the hands of few sur
geons. Probably fifteen grams Of ra-
drum bromide was produced during
1912, and of the fifteen grams nearly
lis grams were extracted in various
European countries from ores shipped
to them from the United States, main.
ly from Colorado and Utah.

Hamlet Has Best Kept Groceries.

Hamlet Has Best Kept Groceries.
State Food Chemist Allen says
there has been considerable decrease
in the number of violations OF the
state pure food laws during the past
year and that the most trouble that
his inspectors find now is the sale in
bulk by North Carolina dealers Of
substitutes for the pure articles in a
number OF lines of groceries, especially
lard, vinegar and syrups. These are
ship6d into the state, labeled &C.
cording to the law as substitutes with
ingredients specified, but are sold by
some INSCRIPTIONS merchants as the
real articles of the retail trade, and
there is no law to reach these viola
lions effectively.
Mr.. Allen says there is much i'm.
provement in numbers of the impOF
tant towns of the state in the cleant
ness of the grocery s1ores, but that in
his judgment Raleigh has the most
poorly kept grocery stores of any
town he knows.
He says Hamlet has about the
best kept frocery stores to be found
in the state.
