Corn Promises
a Bumper Crop

Present indications in Henderson
county give promise Of one of If
not the biggest corn crops ever
made here. The original acreage
was large and to that was added
much land first planted in cotton
which failed to show a good stand.
There is also much Of sorghum cane
planted, caused by the price to
which that kind of molasses scared.
The cotton crop shows a very small
plant, but the fields are now clean
and the weather recently has been
conducive to its rapid growth. As
it now stands and promises it is
dependent to a very great extent
on the lateness Of the Fall season.
Other products have made and are
making well, notably Irish potatoes
which have done well and which at
this time are not commanding the
wild prices which have been asked
for them for many months. Sweet
potatoes we're planted just as ex-
tensiyely as the seed and slips
could be obtained and there will be
an abundance for home consump.

Two Killed and
Three Injured.

Failure to hear the approach Of a
fast freight train caused the death
of j. R. Thomas, Of Huntingdon, and
his daughter, Miss Velma Thomas,
and the injury of Mrs. Thomas, Miss
Eunice Thomas and Jesse Wyatt
The party was coming into that city
in an automobile and as they reached
the crossing just east Of the N, c.
& St. L, depot their automobile was
struck by the oncoming train.
Mr.. Thomas was driving the COR,
and according to Mr.. Wyatt, they
did not see or hear the freight until
they were too close to the track to
stop. The train picked the Ger up
and carried it on the pilot for near
ly two hundred yards.
1t then struck a switch signal and
the car was completely wrecked and
the occupants thrown to the ground.
Mr.. Thomas died a short time after
the accident. Miss Velma Thomas
died later on a special train that
was bearing the injured to Nash
vile. The extent of the injuries to
Mrs. Thomas, Miss Eunice and Mr..
Wyatt could not be learned here as
they were taken to Nashville on the
train shortly after the accident.
Railroad officials were at Hollow
Rock, and upon being notified rushed
to Huntington with private car
and the injured were taken aboard
and rushed to Nashville for treat
ment.

TROUBLE IN WEST
WITH THE |. ". W.

A labor organization, known as
the Industrial Workers of the
World. seems likely to cause a
world Of trouble in the West. The
The first serious trouble in that
connection happened in Arizona on
Thursday of last week. when more
than a thousand members Of the l.
W. W. and their sympathizers were
loaded on cattle cars at the town
of Bisbee, Arizona, by the sheriff
and an armed posse and deported
to New Mexico. About two weeks
before this happening, a strike was
called at Bisbee by the metal work
ers' branch of the |. w. W. and
arter that scores of strange men
appeared in the town, and were al
legged to have prevented miners
from returning to work.
The !. W. W. does not have a
very good reputation ontside Of its
own membership, some claiming
its membership to be little short Of
anarchists, who favor the use of
violent means and the destruction
OF property to carry their point.
On last Saturday about 700 for
eign born laborers were driven out
of the St Francois county, Missou-
ri, lead belt by American born
miners. The foreigners say they
had no warning Of such action and
that they would not have gone
there to work if they had known
presence was undesirable. They
were attracted to that section by
the higher wages offered. Such ac-
tons on the part Of American born
laborers will not advance their.
cause unless they can ihadgurate
q war on all foreigners -and win it.

Woman Killed
Another Injured.

Last Saturday morning, just aft
er the outgoing Of a South-bound
local freight train, which pulled out
just after the passage Of the North
bound passenger train at 9:20
o'clock, Mrs. Mary Tulley was killed
at the end of the first or river tres
tie west Of Lexington and Mrs. Sa-
val Arnold, her sister, suffered the
breaking Of one arm at the wrist.
The women were walking the rail-
road track and had gotten nearly
across the trestle, in fact, one state
ment is that the woman who es-
capped with the injury mentioned,
was, at the time, standing on the
gravel at the side of the track.
However it was the tragedy is de-
plorable and it is to be hoped that
it will have the effect Of induc-
ing persons to quit using the rail-
way track as a walk-way. 1t is
said that one of the Armstrong
boys, who was picking blackberries
nearby, saw the accideut, and that
Mrs. Tulley was thrown somer-
sault, lighting on her head, causing
almost instant death. We can get
no reliable particulars Of how the
accident happened. Mike Duffy
was the engineer of the train. The
injured woman was given immedi-
ate attention by DR.. Huntsman, the
company's local surgeon.
The Tulley family and coDnec-
ton seems to be pursued by
strange fatality in railroad acci-
dents. John Tulley, husband Of
the woman killed Saturday, was
killed on the track at the Lexing-
ton depot several years ago, a
grandson was killed near Jackson,
and Jim Alexander narrowly es-
capped with his life at the Clifton
street crossing several months ago.
The death Of Mrs. Tulley is deplor-
able and her surviving people have
the sympathy Of all in her tragic
death.
