FOOLISH STUNT COSTS LIVES.
Hoy and Girl Dead, l?ilot Dying. After
Plane Craah.
Memphis, Tenu., Sept. 6.- Youth
paid dearly for its inexperience her?
today and Mias Huth Greer, 17, and
Knnia Douglas*, 17, are d?a<l, while
Frank Hays, student aviator, lies at
the point of death in a hospital. Hays
violated instructions, took his two
friends for an air ride ami the ship,
borrowed while its pilot was not looking,
crashed near Park field.
Miss Greer lived in Woodward,
Okla., and was en route to Birmingham,
Ala., where she had matriculated
in Birmingham-Southern college.
Douglass was a high school student
here. Miss Greer stopped here for a
few days to visit the Douglass family
and begged Knnis to take her on her
first air ride*
Ennis' friend Hays, who hud ten
hours solo work but still was not permitted
to carry passengers, agreed to
get them a ride. He asked W. E.
Thomas, chief pilot for the Valley
Air lines, to take them up. Thomas
Agreed and walked into a hanger.
When he disappeared Hays, Miss
GTeer and Douglass jumped into his
plane and were off. Thomas immediately
tfbtftfzed the danger and followed
to signal Hays to land.
He witnessed the tragedy. When
Hays got the ship up about 600 feet
he went into a vertical bank?-easy
for experienced pilots but quite a
stunt for a student flier with a heavy
load. Thomas said the ship stalled,
hung motionless for a moment and
then fell.

LIGHTNING BOLT IIIT8 8HII?
Might Crashed to Kirth l)rad From
Airplane Trugt-dy.
Albuquerque, N. M., Sept, 4.?
Struck down from the sky by a bolt
of lightning and lying in an arid desert
among the gaunt barren moun- j
taiim of Black Tom Valley, the Transcontinental
Air Transport air liner
City of San Francisco, was found last
night with her company of eight persons
dead.
The finding of the wrecked plane
followed a day of searching of the
vast desert which more than twenty
five plane* were engaged.
The place where the ship was found
is about 25 miles south of Gallup,
N. M., an area of practically all volcanic
formation and has been considered
one 6f the worst places to fly
over in the country,
The place is near the Zuni Indian
reservation where recent explorations
and excavations have disclosed many
prehistoric relics and it is not far
from the Navajo Indian reservation.
There was not much in the wreck
to telJ the story of the disaster;
which overtook the happy argonauts
of the n ir who had set forth in the
tri-motored Ford liner to the Golden
West, only to end in that desolation.
Kvidences of the lightning bolt
were there, but further details, if
any could be gained from the broken
thing amid the rocks, were withheld
by the officials of the Transcontinental
Airport, Who ordered newspaper
men off the field, and gave out the
barest and most uneommittal bulletin
confirming the wreck.
The position in which the ship was
downed, however, indicates something.
Stowe, who was one of the
ablest pilots of the service, and who
has shown great resourcefulness on
other occasions, left Albuqurque yesterday
noon und headed to the west
into a region which was developing
terntfic electrical storms.
The wrdck of the City of San Francisco
is the first loss of life occurring
on the line. The service was inaugurated
July K by Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh and the company has carried
over 1,500 passengers since that
date, it was announced tonight by
representatives of the line.
The Meanest Thief
The person or persons who stole
the nozzle tips from the town fire
hose reels is entitled to the distinction
of Chesterfield's meanest thief.
It is presumed that these tips were
stolen for what they would bring as
scrap metal. The thief crippled completely,
for the time being,"the town's
fire-fighting equipment. Should a serious
fire have broken but before this
loss had been discovered and made
good there is no telling how great
the loss might have been.?Chesterfield
Advertiser.
Mechanical Cotton I'ickcr.
Dallas, Texas. A mechanical cotton
picker, whose inventors claim it
will harvest Odd pounds of seed cotton
m 10 hours, is to be tested by the
American Cotton Growers' exchange
this fall.
Already the picker has been approved
by cooperative farm organizations
in 14 states. If Texas tests arc
successful the exchange, which b:
handling $00,000,Odd worth of cotton
this year, has been authorized by its
directors to acquire an interest in
the mechanical harvester.
Light in weight, the new machine
is 36 inches tall, 24 inches wide and
six feet long. Aluminum cages house
revolving spools that remove cotton
from bolls by a whipping motion.
Fred Erwin Heal, Lawrence, Mass.,

I'arty of KiRlit Mel Death in Crash
On Mountaiu Side.
Lo? Angeles, Sept. 7.?Hating from
h storm, the monoplane City of San
Francisco crashed into the side of a
10,000 foot mountain and burned last
Tuesday in the moat deeolate section
of central New Mexico, with death to
its human cargo Of one woman and
seven men, advices to the Transcontinental
Air Transport company here
today indicated.
The wreckage of the big tri-motor
all-metal air liner, a twisted mass of
metal, was discovered on the south
slope of Mount Taylor at 11:03 o'clock
this morning by a western air express
eustbound passenger plan#.
Lieutenant George K. Rice, pilot of
the Western Air Kxpress transport,
which had four passengers and was
bound from I>os Angeles to Albuquerque,
made the discovery. He first noticed
what appeared to be a bit of
snow on the south side of the 10,000
foot mountain. He swerved his big
Fokker monoplane around and zoomed
down to vyithin a thousand feet.
There the appalling sight of twisted
burned metal, and a circle of burned
trees that surrounded it revealed
U> Lieut. Rice, his co-pilot, and the
four passengers.
Thrice did Lieut. Rice circle the
trgic scene. It is one of the most rugged
sections of the wild west. Not
only were there no landing possibilij
ties in the vicinity, but there were no
| roads leading to the scene and even
passage by horse appeared to be impossible.
No sign of any living thing
was found near the wreckage.
The trained eyes of Lieut. Rice,
who was a World war flier, instantly
revealed to him, the tragedy. Knowing
that the plane had circled Grants,
N. M., Tuesday just about noon, and
(this scene being to the northeast, it
was apparent that Pilot J. B. Q.
Stowc, of the City of San Francisco,
was racing back towards Albuquerque
to avoid the storms which held other
air (transports to the ground on that
fatal day,
The City of San Francisco left Albuquerque
on Tuesday morning, in
face of adverse weather, hoping to
get through to Los Angeles that afternoon.
The passengers aboard were:
Mrs. Corina Raymond, wife of
George B. Raymond, of Glendale, Cal.,
a clerk of the Transcontinental Air
Transport, Inc., owners of the City of
San Francisco.
Amasu B. McGaffey, wealthy lumberman
of Albuquerque, N. M., William
Livermore, prominent shipping
man of Boston, Mass.
M. M. Campbell, of Cincinnati, paper
concern salesmanager.
William Henry Beer*, New York,

those of many children going
to their homes to spend Sunday, when
the Finnish steamer Kuru sank in a
heavy storm.
There were 200 passengers on
board. Many were in the cabins when
the disaster suddenly occurred and it
was believed that the heavy death toll
resulted from the inability of these
to get on deck when the fore part of
the vessel suddenly dipped into the
sea.

NATURE SMILEB ON 8CUTH
Crop Yields Promise Better Than in
North Bays Federal Survey
Washington, Sept. 2.?The department
of agriculture announced today
that the indicated yield of principal
crops with last year'a is smaller,
corn, wheat oats, potatoes and fruits
compared with last year's, while the
major crops of the South probably
will produce, larger yields than in
192*.
The indicated composite yield of
34 principal crops, the department
says, will be about 5 per cent below
192* and slightly below the ten year
average.
The leading crops of the North,
com, wheat, oats, potatoes and fruite
were said to show indications of smaller
harvests than last year., Southern
staple crops, cotton, tobacco and
sweet potatoes, are expected to register
yields greater than a year ago.
Favorable weather, plus "hastening
influences' of the 'combine,' " has
brought grain to Markets in heavy
volume, the department reports.
Several of the staple fruit and vegetable
crops promise reduced supplier
and are accordingly selling at higher
prices, the department says, with potatoes
included in the latter category.
The report said generally higher
prices for fruits obtained, particularly
apples, which were selling about
twice as high as last season.
Beef cattle prospects were held to
be favorable to producers, the expectation
being that cattle movement to
market will be about the same a3
last year.
No marked change in the general
dai -y situation was observed. I
Tells of Texas Cotton Crop.
Newberry. September 7.?W. Smith
Lan^f'O tl. a former Newberrian, but
wh<- has been living in Texas
for tin- past Id years, is a visitor
in New hen y this week. Mr. Langfoi
; commenting on cotton crop
in Te\a>, said the crop would be
short on account, of the hot, dry
peri".! which has caused it to "burn
up" during the past two weeks.
Mr. Langford is an oil promoter
and also is manager of the Ford
agencies in several large cities in
Te xas. He stated that the past month
was the dullest he ever experienced
during his sojourn in Texas.
Cat Adopts Infant Squirrels
Edgefield, Sept. 9.?An Edgefield
cat evidently thinks her "kittens" are
different from any she ever saw before.
For they are not kittens at all,
but squirrels. A few weeks ago the
cat's kittens died, and about that
time- the young boy of the home
brought in three tiny squirrels whose
eyes had not opened and who may
(or may not) have been bereft of
parents. The disconsolate mother
cat at once adopted the squirrels and
seems to find pleasure in caring for
them as her own, although she may
find them slightly unruly when she
attempts to give them their daily ablutions.
The mother cat belongs to
'Mrs. Maggie T. Hill.
Clarence Bailey, 18 year old high
school youth, was shot and killed near
Ashland, Ala., Sunday by deputy
sheriff Cecil Guthrie while the youth
was fleeing in a pasture. Bailey was
wanted on a prohibition violation
charge. The officer states be shot
twice in the air and then stumbled
and fell and that the shot that killed
the lad was an accident.
Estimated 14,825,000 Bales.
Washington, Sept, 9.?A cotton
crop of 14,826,000 bales this year was
announced today by the department
pf agriculture as indicated from the
condition of the crop of September
1, which was 65.4 per cent of a normal
crop.
