TRAIN DYNAMITED
BY MEXIC REBELS
Fifty Persons Killed on the
Mexican Northern
40 SOLDIERsIf HUERTA
Only American on Train Escaped ln
jury 7 * But Was Robbed—Dynamite
Mines Set Off by Electricity.
Fifty persons were killed when reb
els dynamited a passenger train on the
Mexican National railway, sixty miles
south of Saltillo, Mexico, according to
official reports to Mexican federal
headquarters in Nuevo Laredo. The
train was then looted and the surviv
ing passengers robbed, it is said.
Forty federal soldiers and ten sec
ond-class passengers comprised the
official death list. The number of
injured were npt given.
YV. W. Morvain, of San Francisco,
the only American on the train, is
said to have escaped injury, but was
robbed.
Two dynamite mines were set off
by electricity, it is said. The first
class coach was only derailed, but the
baggage, express and two second-class
coaches were blown to pieces.
Jackson Stands Second.
According to recent dispatched
the Federal Census Bureau gives
Jackson County second place in
the list of Georgia countied
this year in the production of
hay. Experts from all sections of
the state say that, Georgia has
the best grain and forage crop
that has ever been produced.
This is due to the increase in acre
age and. the favorable seasons
that have prevailed during the
crop making period. Two years
ago the Census Bureau placed
Jackson county first in produc
tion of hay, and also first, in the
buying of hay. It is impossible
at this period t,o tell how much
hay wMI be bought for consump
tion during the remainder of
39135; but the yield of the tortile
crop is so much greater than for
merly ,t.hat with an equal con
sumption, the county as a whole
ought to be in better condition
than in previous years. The
short forage crop for last year
together with the unsatisfactory
I cotton crop should be sufficient
Ito teach the farmer the impor
tance of growing his own forage.
With the advantages we have in
, this section, the average ifarmer
1 can produce forage and hay as
well as it can be produced else
where and cheaper than it can be
bouugbt at any time. This re
port of the government is en
couraging ,and we hope to see
it put the counties of Walton,
Jackson and Gwinnett, the first
three on the list for 1914, not
only in the production of hay,but
in grain and other forage crops
as well. ii... , j '!'
