WHAT RAILROADS DO FOR FARMERS
The following paragraph from the Athens
(Tenn.) Post, shows what Railroads accom-
plish for farmers Farmers living in the
three counties named will derive clear
profit this year alone on the single article OF
wheat. of over 5000. 600 from tho railway.
Their 400 600 bushels Of wheat sell for
100000 more than it would have realized
if there had been no railroad to take it
away
The price of wheat continues at ST.
One hundred and nineteen wagons unload
ed at the depot here on the 9Th Of Novem-
ber This county viii export, of the late
yield of the harvest, one hundred and si1-
ty thousand bushels Other counties along
the line Of the road will perhaps do as well.
The three counties of Bradley, McMinn
and Monroe, from the information now i'll
our possession, we have no doubt, will sell
for export over 400, 900 bushels, at an av-
erage of one dollar per bushel. Here, then,
is the snug sum of between four and FIVE
hundred thousand dollars difused among
people of these counties for the single arti-
Gle of wheat alone the product of single
harvest. How much wheat did these same
counties EXPORT before the railroad was built,
and at what price Not more than twenty
five thousand bushels. ard that small amount
was sold at an average of fifty cents per
bushel. In the meanwhile lands have quad
rupied in value, and owners have actually
become rich BY enchantment, almost With
out an effort of their own"

Up to the 18th instant, there had been
no election Of Speaker BANKS, the Re-
publican candidate. on the last balloting,
received l05 votes, RICHARDSON, Democrat,
a votes. and FULLER, American, 80 votes
This is not the frst time that there has been
protraeted contest for Speaker, In two
ether instances there have been similar oc-
currences-the first In 1889, when the
broad seal'' Of New Jersey was set aside
In that controversy the organization Of the
House was delayed from tie 81 to the 18th
of December. when motion prevailed to
exclude both sets. Of delegates from New
Jersey, and upon tie twelfth ballot thereaf-
ter, R. II. T. HUNrER. of Virginia. was
elected over the regular Democratic candi-
date. ty union Of his friends with the op-
position.
But the most prgtracted contest was in
1919 at the opening Of the 3Is; Congress,
when HOWELL COBB Of Georgia. was de-
elared elected by a plurality vote. on the
63i ballot. after contest Of about three
weeks We see no prospect of an carly
election. unless resolution to elec; by a
plurality vote, as in 1919, is adopted, or a
fusion takes place between the Democrats
and National Americans The latter may
possibly occur, but We see no probability OF
it at present
Ii is 10 be hoped that some efheient aud
competent national man will soon be eiec;
cd Speaker, and that the House will be
speedily organized
