When the wreck occurred the train
was running at a rate of SO miles an
hour, and Just started around a curve
on top of a 60-foot embankment. Without
warning the tender of the englno
suddenly left the track, Jerking the
gBglne and the first four care with It.
There were 10 cars to the excursion
train, but the fourth broke loose from
the fifth and with the heavy engipe
plunged down the steep Incline. The
cars, whfoh were paoked with passengers,
turned completely over several
times and were crushed like eggshells,
killing and crippling the inmates.
Persons who have returned
from the scene of the wreck say It is
indescribable. The dead bodies of the
negroes were scattered In evry diretion
and the moans and appeals for
help from the wounded were heartrending.
As soon as the accident was reported
to the officials of the road, wrecking
trains, carrying physlolans, were
hurried from Columbus, Miss., and Birmingham,
and everything possible is
being done to alleviate the sufferings
of the injured. The bodies have been
prepared for burial.

THE VIEWS OF AN EXPERT.
/hat Has Been Done in Development ,
of Dairying and Stocking Raising.
Mr. L. A. Ransom, who ts well
mown In the South on account of his
onsplcuous work In agricultural maters
and his connection with the South |
'arollna department of agriculture,
nd now with the Southern Cotton Oil
lompanjr, as District Manager, at Atinta,
Qa., In writing about the influnce
of cotton seed products on the deelopment
of dairying in the South,
ays:
"About 1850, a few wealthy and enerprlsing
Southern planters Imported
time Devon cattle from England,
'hese were turned loose In canerakes
with the native scrubs and aimed
to roam over large areas of
rooded country, picking up a precarlus
living on the scant Dasturaare at
ardcd by the woods freshly burned
ver by the forest fires In the spring.
Jthough widely scattered and a few
i number, the prepotency of this breed
ras so great that in many sections the
vidence of this infusion of good blood
' still visible In the stock.
"No well-to-do planter at that time
onsldered that he had milch cows
nough to supply the wants ot his famy
unles he owned at least twenty-five
r thirty head. These droves of halfrlld
and half-famished animals were
>cated towards nightfall Toy the rlngig
of a bell hung around the neck of
he leader. They were driven to the
ow-pen, sometimes miles from where
hey were found In the woods, a spasmodic
effort was made to extract milk
rom them, penned up over night, and
second attempt made upon them the
ext morning. The 'average yield* was
bout one quart per cow.
"The idea of Increasing this produclon
by judicious feeding was not
bought of. This was the rule, but of
ourse there were notable exceptions,
'eople who did not own unlimited acres
f land, and who appreciated milk
nd butter, took better care of their
ows, fed them regularly, and allowed
hem to pasture during the day on
heir neighbor^* land. This posturing
ras more to give them proper exerlse,
and keep them healthy than to
fford them any means of subsistence.
7o such an extent had the cattle inerests
of South Carolina in 1880 deprelated
that the repairs to the farm
ence cost more than the value of the
attle in the State, and the probability
s that the same was equally true of
learly all the Southern States."
Then came the "No Fence Law,"
vhlch compelled the owners to fence
he cattle Instead of the crops. This
orced the farmers to own good milch
ows, or none at all, as it became too
xpensive to feed poor stock. About
his time, or perhaps a little earlier,
ippeared the "Jersey" on the scene, a
>reed of cattle as suited to the needs
>f those who were "too poor to own a
:ow, and too proud to milk a goat."
3ut this beautiful little animal soon
lemonstrated that she was not a
quitter,", and, furthermore, that she
'filled a long felt want," and, with
jroper attention, gave rich returns on
>sr r>Aci o n/1 lrnnn nn/1 111""

nan's pig (hat he raised In the caTrm
with his children, she "paid the rent"
is well as the freight. As compared,
with the Devon, she was smaller In
statue and gave less milk, but the projortlon
of cream to water In what she
lid give, far exceeded that of the Deron,
the Durham, and Holateln, and
she promptly became the prime favorte
of small families and butter-mak;rs.
Rut she could not live without
reed, and butter could not be produced
profitably on corn meal, wheatbran, or
:o\vpea diet, nor could It be produced
it all on what the Jersey oould pick
up in the pastures.
Nature, always lavish, but provident,
tiid away coal In the earth for ages,
>nly to be uncovered when the world
needed It most, pointed the way to the
jold fields only when this precious
metal was absolutely required for the
world's commerce, and covered from
sight the phosphate rock of the Carolinas
until improvident man had deJtroyed
the fertility of the fields, likewise
she held back the material rejuired
to make dairying in the South
possible and profitable, until conditions
were favorable for its use.
The advent of the Jersey cow ere?ted
a demand for a cheap and rich
rood, which the oil mills supplied with
nulls and meal. In a list of fifty of
the leading feed materials of the United
States, the National Department of
Agriculture ranks cotton seed meal
first, in feeding value and places the
muc %jl cuiiuu uffu nuns ion me sit me
purpose above the best tlmcsthy hay.
rhe use of these products Hos fnlly
mstained the department'* reports,
ind dairy farming Is fast b^conrtfng an
ndustry of importance, and this has
been largely the result of the lftoeral
policy of the Southern Cotton Oil Co.
jf the Carolinas and Georgia, which
pas headquarters at Columbia, S. C..
Atlanta, Qa., Savannah, Ga. and Charotte,
N. C., Goldsboro, N. C., and Augusta,
Ga.
Around the large cities In the South,
lairies are successfully operated, supplying
the people with wholesome
milk, and rich golden butter, from cows
fed on hulls and meal. The country
mills have accomplished the same
thing for the farms and small towns.
Around the factory towns the small
mills make dairying possible, and profitable,
as the demand from the operatives
is sufflcierit to consume all the
milk and butter that can be produced,
pnd the use of meal for fertilizing the
land, which Is sold reasonably by the
Southern Cotton Oil Company, has
Kreatly enlarged the area devoted to
truck farming of all kinds.
Without oil mill products dairying
would be impossible in many sections
of the South. The abundance, cheapness
and convenience of the products
has already developed the business to
nn interesting extent amd It is only in
its infancy, and its growth will increase
rapidly each year with the
steady Improvement in the grade of
milch cows. Oleomargarine contains
about forty per cent, milk, and ths
compound Is a wholesome product.
The establishment of co-operative factories
for its manufacture in the vicinity
of oil mills where reflneA oil
ran be had would give a tremendous
Impetus to dairying in the South.
