The man who built the first rolling mill
in the United States is in Atlanta. Ga.
In 1926 Maj. Walton built at BuntOn, N.
J j, the first rolling mill in operation IN
this country. He was then Young man,
having been born in the Isle of Man in
1908, and had just finished his appren-
ticeship in New York. In the same year
he built at Plumpton, N J =, the first
blast furnace, which is still there. In
1927 Maj. Walton also built at Luekige,
N Y, the first mill for manufacturing
implements and articles sold in hardware
stores. The major has been in the iron
business ever since he was fourteen, ex-
cept such times as he was fighting In
dians, Mexieans and the Federal soldiers.

border of the Panhandle, except one, Is
now organized, and that county ,
the single exception, will soon be or
gained. The Indians would be as likely
to project an invasion of the far-off state
of Vermont at this time as to raid the
Panhandle. A careful study of the map
win show Fort Worth TO be the most
eligible point in the Southwest for the es-
Enlistment of central military post.
Within six hours troops from this point
could be landed gear the more barbarous
tribes of Indians in the Territory; within
twenty -four hours they could be placed
upon the Mexican border, either south or
west; in thirty-six hours they could be
marching close after the savages of Ari-
IONA.
There is now large military post at
San Antonio and five OF six smaller forts
in Texas, scattered, with the exception
of the one in the Panhandle, along the
Rio Grande. At San Antonio the gov
eminent has invested several hundred
thousand dollars in the erection of
barracks and homes for officers.
Austin has been trying for some
time to obtain post, but
is too near San Antonio to receive a
favorable consideration of its claims.
This suggestion can be made useful only
by prompt and vigorous action on the
part of the citizens of Fort Worth. The
government is not in the habit of helping
towns that do not help themselves. Were
a citizens committee sent to Washington
it ought to be able to convince the war
department that the most eligible point
in the Southwest for the establishment of
a great military post is the place which
perpetuates the name of one of the most
gallant men to whom it has ever given

A SECRET.

He said: s'No one shall ever learn
This secret that my heart must keep;
No matter how the words may burn,
No matter how my heart may leap,
No one shall know ! love her so,
No one shall know. no one shall know
But though his lips were tightly sealed
The very birds his secret guessed,
For in his eyes ii was revealed,
And in his face it was confessed
81 love her so, love her so,
But none shall know, but none shall knowl''
The wind soon found it and ran on
To tell it to the wondering flowers,
And bear it TO the gates of dawn,
Where loiter all the coming hours,
That they might know he loved her SO,
That they might know, that they might know
Some time all secrets must unfold,
And soon did he a listener seek,
To whom his story might be told,
Before the laughing world should speak
And tell her (if she did not know
He loved her so, he loved her so!

Arranging an Iron Trust.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 22. George II.
Hull of this city has been at work several
months arranging a combination Of
manufacturers of pig iron, but
for what purpose is unknown Hull is
an iron commission merchant and at
present in New York on business per-
tanning to the combination Howard
Tracy a manufacturer and Hull assoc
eiate in his plans, stated he did not feel
at liberty to say much about the
combination, but asserted positively
that the chief object was to benefit the
the iron industry of the South by bring
ing to it great increase of capital. He
also declared thai the combination would
have no effect toward increasing the
price Of iron To consumers. The general
idea, however, is that Hull is arranging
trust to fix and control the output OF
Southern furnaces.

Henry NJ. SANKEY'S real name, says q
Pittsburg paper, is john Rowlands. He
was born in Wales, near the little town
of Denbigh, and his parents were so poor
that when he was about three years old he
was sent to the poorhouse of st. phi TO
be brought up and educated. When he
was thirteen years old he was turned
loose to take care of himself. Young
though he was, he was ambitions and
well-informed. As lad he taught
school in the village of Mold, Flintshire,
North Wales. Getting tired of this he
made his way to Liverpool, England,
when he was about fourteen years Of
age, and there he shipped as cabin boy on
board sailing vessel bound TO New Or
leans, in the promised land to which so
many British-born youths ever turn their
eyes. In New Orleans he fell in with a
kindly merchant, a Mr.. Stanley, who
adopted him and gave him his name.
Mr.. Stanley died before Henry came of
age, leaving no will, and the lad was
again left to shift for himself. Young
Stanley lived in New Orleans until 1861,
when he was twenty-one years old, hav-
ing been born in 1910. Then the great
civil war broke out, and Stanley went
into the Confederate army.

MAJ. HANSON is the latest Southern
protege of the Republican press. The
major attended the dinner given at Del
monico IS by the American tariff league
and, while under the inspiration of
Mumm IS Extra Dry, said some very
silly things. Among them was a SEN
tence that has a familiar ring and one
that, in various shapes and forms,
has long done duty on the Re-
publican rostrum: efWhenever this Tn

than once, the sentiment that opposed
it, that sought to dissolve it

knee, and rocked in the cradle of free
trade No more appropriate occasion

A WORTHY TRIO

Cleburne Enterprise: There are many
things IN the South besides its geograph-
ical situation to distinguish it from other
sections of the country. The South has
characteristics about it peculiarly South
ern. Some of them may not be COM
mendable, but some of them, and in fact
all the very marked ones, are indicative
of noble, incorruptible manhood and of
a people too proud to fawn and too high
minded TO Tepine at adverse fortune.
of the South, there are GER
tam representative journals, opponents
Of the best sentiments, the highest aspi-
rations, and dearest memories of its peo-
pie. The chief of these journals are the
Atlanta Constitution, the Courier our
nal and the Fort Worth GAZETTE. While
these papers have patriotism as broad
as the whole country, are liberal minded
and loyal to every demand upon them
they also possess the browning virtue that
is recorded Of the great law-giFer Of the
Jews, who chose to share ali the Attic
tons of his people rather than take the
throne of Egypt. The papers named
never sacrifice their nobler self to
get applause from abroad. They never
accept an opportunity TO make hippant
paragraphs that do violence 10 every true
Southern heart. They are not afflicted
with the false idea that to defend the
good name of their people and section is
something that should be fOrborne, lest
thereby q bloody-shirt shrieker should
take offense. Besides all this, being
good papers, it is no wonder that they are

have notified a number of individuals to
leave the village because of the offense of

instructed to 'close his clappers' or the

A Local Option Law.
Pittsburg Gazette.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE advocates a
local option road law by which each
county may adopt any two or more ways
to improve its roads. 1t seems to US that
in view of the diversity of local condi-
tions this would be the only satisfactory
solution of the road question. The method
to be adopted; however, should not be
left to the discretion of commissioners
courts, but should be decided by a vote
of the people of the county, the law pre-
scribing the two or more methods that
may be adopted.

THIS from the indianapolis News, an
independent journal that supported Har-
rison, is significant:
If there is no law making if a crime to advise
bribery and instruct how to commit it, one
should be made. The purity of the ballot needs
protection in every part of the country.
In attempting to vindicate Dudley and
his methods, the Republican leaders are
disgusting the independent elements that
voted and worked with them in the late
election.

IT is said that both of the Pennsylvania
senators are hostile to the senate tariff
bill and may vote against it. With
Blaine they wanted to make the campaign
on the Chicago platform and in opposi-
ton to the Mills bill, and they believed
that the senate bill menaced the success
of the Republican party. 1t is sad to
note how sadly at sea the G. o. P. is on
the tariff after it has just won so glorious
a victory for American industries.

THE fear that the supply of petroleum
will be exhausted in the not distant fu-
ture is justified by the theory of its pro-
duction as held by Professor Mendeleef
He holds that petroleum is produced by
water, which pene trates the earth s
crust and comes in contact with glowing
earbides of metals, especially those of
iron The water is decomposed into its
constituent gases, the oxygen uniting
with the iron, while the hydrogen takes
up the carbon and ascends to a higher
region, where part of it is condensed into
mineral oil, and part remains as natural
gas, TO escape wherever and
whenever it can find an outlet
If this assumption is correct, and a
sufficient store of metallic carbides is
contained in the earth's interior, petro-
leum may continue to be formed almost
indefinitely, and yield a supply of fuel
long after coal has become exhausted.
Professor Mendeleef supports his views by
producing artificial petroleum in a man
ner similar to that by which he believes
the natural product is made. -
