A rear-end collision of su burban trains in the half mile tunnel leading to the St. Lazare railroad sta tion tonight led to terrifying scenes and the death of many persojns bound on their homeward journey from Paris. The wrecked, cars burst into flames, and the disaster was made all the more terrible by the explosion of a gas reservoir. I At a late hour tonight 16 bodies hl been recovered. Twenty persons are known to have been seriously injured and 60 others were slightly injured. This, however, gives no idea of the extent of the disaster, because the firemen and others engaged in the work of rescue have been unable to get any" distance within' the tunnel, owing to thega, fumes. Robbing Freight" Cars and Stealing Cotton Favorite Pastimes. Mr. R. W. Bullard of Elrod, who is a Lumberton visitor today, says that robbing freight cars of flour, sugar and other provision, is a favor ite pastime with some of the colored population up his . way, and another favorite pastime is stealing cotton. Pete Bell and French Thompson, colored, were given a 12-months road sentence each recently by Recorder J. A. McCoy of Rowland on the charge of robbing freight cars at Elrod, and others are under suspicion. Mr. Bul lard says one negro in that section has sold three bales; of cotton recently and the little patch he . raised would not produce more than 400 pounds. While the white folks sleep, Mr. Bul lard says, some negroes are busy gatherin up cotton in sheets. They take thi, cotton to Pates, where the gin runs all night, have it ginned and sell it right way'i v ;.;. ' !. . Many of Charges -.Against Dr. Mays Found to be Uatrae. " Asheville, Oct. 6.

"The firmer who plans a crop of cotton next year will be the man who feed the boll weevil," was the re mark of a cotton farmer recently. I wpuld say right here that if the farm ers will plough up the cotton stalks and burn them just as soon as the cot ton is gathered and broadcast with lime, then, take a two-horse . turn plough and break up all the farm planted in cotton this year and plant his 1922 crop of cotton early, then I believe he will grow the same crop of cotton next year he has grown this Rev. W. H. Dodd, pastor of the 1st Baptist church here, went yesterday to Boardman to conduct a protracted meeting there, but on . account of diphtheria he returned and, the meet - ing will be postponed until a later date.
