ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Southern Local Train Wrecked. Engine Dashed into Partly Open Switch and Turned Over Train, men and two Passengers Slightly Hurt Property Loss Small GOLD AND SILVER OUTPUT IN CREASES IN N. C. IN 1160. As the Southern local mixed train No. 143 was returning from High Point Saturday night about 9:30 it was wrecked at the cross ing near the old bobbin factory. Engine No 20 was pulling the train and as it struck the switch opening into the "Y" from the main track, it appeared to split the switch which was partly open, going on to the ties and turned over both engine and tender. Engineer George Albright and fireman L. G. Loyd mounted the tank and were thrown out on the grond, receiving but slight bruises, but both were in very great danger of being caught under the overturning- mass ot wood, iron and coal. The train was composed of two freight cars and two passenger coaches, all of which stuck to the track. The passengers, however were severly shaken up and two were painfully but not seriously hurt. Miss Gladys Smith received some bruises about her shoulders and neck and Postoffice Inspector, John W." Bulla, who was standing up when the shock came, was thrown headlong on the floor, sustaining a sprained ankle, cut hand and miner other bruises. How the other passengers to the number of twelve or fifteen escaped injury is a mystery. The engine was dismantled and was hauled back "dead" by the wrecking train that came down Sunday morning to clean up the wreck. Early Sunday morning a wreck ing train and crew came down fv-m Oopnshoro and bv 12 o'clock the track was clear and the scrap iron which had only - a few hours before had been part and parcel of a railroad locomo tive, was on its way to the junk pile at Greensboro or Spencer. The property loss was not great, the damage to the engine being the largest item. The responsibility for the wreck has not yet been fixed. North Carolina regained first place among the Eastern States in 1910 in the production of gold. The year's mine production, ac cording to H. D. McCaskey, of the United States Geological Survey, was 3,291.68 fine ounces, valued at $68,045, an increse over the output for 1909 of 1,345.- 55 fine of $27,815 in value. The yield of silver, recovered in re- fiining the gold and copper pro duced w a 9.053 fine ounces, valued at $4,888. an increase of 8,554 ounces and of $4,629 in value. The copper production was 140.514 pounds, valued at $17,845. a decrease of g3,998 pounds and of $11,341 in value. The total value of the production of gold, silver, and copper in North Carolina in 1910 was $90. 778, an increase over the corre sponding value for 1909 of $21 103. There were 23 placer mines in opperation in 1910 and 13 deep mines. The deep mines produced 14,914 short tons of ore of which 12. 693 tons were g old quartz ores. With an average precious metal value of $2.51 per ton, and yield ing 63.2 pounds of copper per ton. The nlacers of North Car olina yielded 497.34 fine ounces of gold and 43 fine ounces of silver: the siliceous ores produc ed 2,745.77 fine ounces of gold and 456 fine ounces of silver; and the copper ores yielded 48.57 fine ounces or gaia anu 6 004 nne ounces cf silver.

More than half of hercrew of 793 officers and men met death early today, when fire broke out in the ammunition hold of the hnttlpshin liihprte. one of the UMi w vw - 7 finest vessels in the French navy. Explossions which followed wrecked the great ship. The fire was discovead at five o'clock. At firf if was not. thought to be iiitju v - serious, but it gained great head way over the sailors' fighting it; Suddenly it reached the maga zines, which had not been flood ed, owing apparently to the slierht nature of the blaze. The explosions were terrific, snakingkQrit ies were tremendous. the vessel lorce ana ait, n,sfcu was seemingly stronger than the preceding. They opened up great fissures in the armor and frame work. The Vessel inlmedi atly became a mass of fire and smoke, r.nd soon sank to the botton of Toulon harbor. At an early hour unofficial esti- - . i i 1 "! i mates placed tne numoer or aeaa at five hundred. The estimates by naval men vary. There is no doubt that the loss of life was as high as three hundred. Scores of seaman died in their berths. A few dozen saved themselves by jumping overboard Many of those injured leaped in to the water and drowned be fore other boats in the roadsted could reach them. Two hundred of the crew escapee detth, be cause thev were on shore leave. Commander Jauers, was not aboard. The explosions carnage was worse than could ever occur in actual naval warfare. The first crash came when the crew dis persed to various sections of the i mi- i .,,,'fU vessel, l ne explosion was wiwj- .---y - . . y;r ty c ut,i ' the oestimes of the Dominion, out worn ing. Scores were hurl- , ed high into the air, accompani ed by ereat fragments of frame work, armor, bursting shells and blinding powder smoke, when the men below were killed in their sleep. Others, awakened by the ex iosion, started to jump overboard, and were caught by a second detonation. Many vessels were in the harbor at the time, including several warships. Corporation Commission issues Order Cannot Force Connection-- -petition Dismissed. Canada Defeats Reciprocity. Montreal, Can. Sept. 21. The Laurier government and reel procity suffered an overwhelming defeat in the Canadian election held today By a Veritable political land slide the Liberal majority of 4S was swept away and the Conser vative party secured one of the heaviest majorities, upwards of 50, than any Canadian party has ever had. Seven Cabinet minis ters who had served with Premi er Laurier were among -the de feated candidates. The Liberals logt ground in practically every province of the Dominion. Where they won their majorities were smali. Where the Conservatives won their ma- Onta- Tte? leading province of Can ada, declared almost unanimous ly against the administration and reciprocity. Robert L. Borden, leader of the Conservative party will shortly become the Prime Minister of Canada. He will be supported in Parliment by a working ma jority of members far more than ample for his purposes. The government defeat means that the Fielding-Knox reciproc tv flareement. ratified bv the kJ C3 " 7 - American Congress in extra ses . . . a. -I 1 t - - sion, will not be introduced wnen the twelfth Parliamnt assembles next month and that a revised basis of trade with the United States, looking to clocercommer rial relations will not be possible in the immediate future. The Conservatives are committed to a policy of trade expansion with in the empire and a closed door against the United States. Although re-elected in two constituencies in Quebec, the de feat of the Liberals also means the retirement from public life of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who for near v two decades has directed A few months ago, a number of Asheboro citizens petitioned Cumberland and Northampton the Corporation Comm.ss.on to t. tu j: ; compel the Asheboro Telephone nuw nave uic uiojjciiouiio w - . , operation.

Tillman's announce ment that he w;is a candidate to succeed himself was made pub lic here today, refuting recent stories that he might refuse to run n train hecause of ' failing health. It may be said, broadly, .that the American people spend more than $400, 000, 000 a year for, su gar and more than $200, 000,, 000 for coffee. Every increase 01 one cent a pound in the price;, of sugar increases the expenditure at the rate of $70, 000, 000 a y ear, and every advance in the price of coffee adds a burden ot millions of dollars. Both of these - com modities are now selling at; the highest prices reached in many vpars. but neither tariff, trusts railways can be held respon- v m sible for the situation. While there nrobably is in both cases some enchantment that can be charged to market speculation, the underlying cause is cropshort age, failure of supply to meet the demand, The price movement of sugar and coffee affords an excellent il lustration of the operation ot a force somewhat too frequently overlooked or disregarded: by politicians. ' The advance in sugar is due to the partial failure of the Europe an beet crop, the source irum which nearly one-halt ot tne world's sugar supply is Drawn. A record breaking crop was ex pected, but the weather was un fovnrahle and the results were far below the expectations, me advance in coffee is due to a short crop in Brazil, whence comes oWntthree-auartersottne worm v coffee supply. The average snip- ments from, that country are about 12, 000, 000 bags of 133 pounds each. A recent report gives the 1910 shipment as less than 10, 000, 000 bags The relation of supply to de mand has led to higher prices for petition, sought to arrange with the Asheboro company for con nection of lines on terms that have proven satisfactory in a number of other places in , the 1 State. The Bell company nas repeatedly been refused a local exchange franchise in Asheboro and has now only the long dis tance connection there with three booths. The commission insists that it is not necessary at this time to pass on the question of the right of the commission. to compel the the Southern Bell to connect its wires with the Asheboro com pany, holding that the petitioners can obtain relief without invok ing this power of the commis Clean Up Your Stomach And Gas, Sourness, Diz ziness, Headache and Bad Dreams Will Go If you really want a clean, sweet, pure stomach, free from o-as. sourness and distress, go to Standard Drug Co. to-day and . . 1 -m -T r "VT A get a 50-cent dox ot mi-u-iN Stomach Tablets. :.
