The tie between !he people living in town on u lit to h?> one of loyal -friendship. In towns where there is a fraternal spirit between the people, there grows up a feeling of affection for that community.

Judging by the decline in the preferred eh ate* of the Afueri* can VVoolon Company, tho greatest apprehension concerning the future exlBtB in the woolen , Industry. While orders may become more con spicuously of the hand-to-mouth sort this winter, both for woolen goods and for raw wool, in view of im pending changes in duties, the pre*-.! ent activity of the Industry in tui tion iable. The woolen yarn trade is strong and active. General trade lias just now unseasonable warm weather feo contend with, but It Is better than a year agfO in all soc tioiiK, particularly in the West and South. Tho unseasonable tempera tures, however, are favorable to ag - riculture, especially in the winter wheat section, while household coal consumers In the Northeast are being- benefitted, in view of the short supply and high prices tor an thracite. Railroad earnings show a still further increase in transportation business. Returns o* all United States roads for the first two weeks in November show in gross an in crease of t).f> per cent compared with last year, and the gain is well distributed over the country. For the second week of November alone 37 roads report increase of 11 per cent o^er last year. Net earn ings, of couVse; are a different mat ter. The award of the arbitration bOard ia the case of the locomotive engineers east of Chicago, is expect ed today and an increase in wages of from ft to 10 per cent is gener ally anticipated. An equivalent in crease will undoubetedly have to be given later on to other classes of railroad trainmen. This means aiv, increase- in operation expenses find the corresponding reduction of net earnings.

Patrick, who was saved from t he electric, chair by the j late Governor Biggins in December, HM'Mi, has made a remarkable fight | for freedom. A lawyer by profes sion, he protested when Governor Higj* ns commuted the death .sen tence to life imprisonment , declflr | ing that the governor had no legal | right, to cancel the original sentence j and impose a punishment of life i imprisonment. "There has always ! I been an air of mystery in (his im portant case," Governor Dix said. "Quoting jjupjn the minority opin ion of the' court of appeals,. 'The atmosphere that surrounded the de fendant showed that a fair and im partial trial was scarcely possible." I trust that Mr. Patrick will devote his er. ^''uics to a complete vindica tion <if . his declared innocence.

These careful tests wore made to moet tho criticism that I In machine wasted a great deal of cot - ? ton and left. some on the stalk, critics were convinced that the ma chine was a succobs after, seeing the tests made. As yet the machines are, in price, , out of reach of tho small farmer;., ?though the farmer on a large scale can easily make it pay for Itsell in a short time, as It costs only I a f cents a hundred to* pick with it.j whereas, yon now pay from aO cents to $1 a hundred, and a great many times are unable to get ii picked nt all, thus losing it entire iy. The machine is a mammoth one weighing more than two tons and has a horse power from 35 to 38. With all its size and weight it is thoroughly adapted to working in almost any kind of soil, but, of course, works better in the more level sections than where it is ex tremely hilly. The price of $5,000 i is considered reasonable when its accomplishments are. considered, although perhaps when they come into iliore general use they can and will bo materially reduced.-?

Hill, 53 years old, a "full1' hlood" Choctaw, and his claim to being. the Rockefeller of red men is based upon his possessions val ued at $G, 000, 000. Hill lives in Harllngton, Texas, says The Chicago Tribune. In fact, he ow'ns the town, but it is only a mite in the midst of his vast estate, which extends to Brownsville, 25 miles away. He lias 1 1 motor cars i to make the run from his residence in llarlington to his business office in Brownsville. | This Indian Croesus is a living [testimonial that members of his | race need not be wards of Uncle I Sam unless they so choose. He started his empire on a capital of ' $200, and has never received any j thing from the government., hike so many of his "white brother" captains of industry, lie is a self made man in every sense of the 1 word. Not only is he a shrewd | business man, but a clever lawyer as well, practicing his profession in addition to overseeing his big ranch. Hill was one of the chief factors in blazing the trail for civilization through the Ulo Grand Valley, but of his early experiences he refuses to talk, contenting himself with shrugging his broad shoulders, about which his long black hair falls In a most picturesque manner. "It's [all past now," he will s ay. "and what's the use of talking about lt?M There is one thing, however, about which he will never hesitate to talk, and that is the price of sugar. As a sugar grower and re finer thai is, of much :nore interest , to him that the l'uct that he has risen so far above the members of j his own race, and even above the i great majority of the "conquering j white men." -Popular Couple Marriott.
