MALONE TO RUN FOR GOV
ERNOR.

New YoRK, July ia dispatch
from Richmond to the Sun says :
"Mahone's sub committee to arrano
for the time and place for the Repub-
lican State convention have decided
to hold the convention ut Roanoke
on August goth. Norfolk made n
strenuous effort to get the convon-
ton, but Malone dictated in favor of
Roanoke, for tho reason that that
city has more influential white Re-
pnblicans than any other city in the
State. Th0re arc no negro hotels or
boarding houses in Roanoke. This
fact means n small proportion of ne
gro delegates. There is no longer
any doubt about Mahone's gubcrna-
toriel aspirations. He will certainly
head the ticket; is, in fact, crazy for
the nomination. Many people thought
no would be afraid to take tho
chances of defeat, but lie is desper-
ate, and will stake all on the No.
venlber election. Already Mahouo's
henchmen arc at work for the Repub.
lican ticket to be led by Malone"

The Street Railroad Business.

The Importance of the street rail-
road business when compared with the
magnitude of the steam railroads of
the United States is very striking.
The figures of 1887 show a tabulation
of 14S, $685. 60 miles of railroad and 20.
582 passenger cars. and passengers
carried but 428, 225. 513. But the
following figures are more amaz-
ing: The horse cars of the city of
New York carry 1919, 491. 735 passen-
gers, almost half as many as are car
ried by all the steam roads in the
United States. If to this number are
added those carried by the elevated
road we have total of 81, O21, 524, or
almost as many passengers as are car
ried in New York City alone as are
annually carried by all the steam rail-
roads of the whole of the United
States. The street railroads of the
State of Massachusetts, carry over A. :
900, 900 more people than all the steam
roads in that State. One road alone,
the electric line of the West End Com
pany, of Boston, carries nearly TO-
OOO. 900 more passengers than all the
steam roads combined--Railway Age.

Horses for Farm Work.

The character of the farm work
horse is not to be decided upon by its
appearance, but mostly by its perform
ance. OF course, soundness is sine
qua non in estimating the value of a
work horse, but how few farmers test
their horses by the amount of work
done in the field or on the road! The
best walking pace is as valuable to a
farmer as the best trotting pace is to
the owner Of a roadster. And horses
differ in their walking pace quite as
much as they do in the faster PAGES.
What is the comparison between a
pair of horses that will draw a pillow
at the rate of two miles an hour and
another that will do the same work at
four miles? To piow an acre is worth
at least q. Forty acres plowed Is
worth $50. The slow team earns $40
while the fast team earns $50 This
difference is equal to the interest on
$500 at per cent. So that the farmer
who keeps a slow team might profit
ably pay 900 for a fast-walking pair
of horses than the ordinary market
value of the horses. or $500 or 500
for the better animals and yet make .
profit-N. 7. Times.

To the strong boughs that sheltered him SO long,
He wings his flight
Now to another cline of sun and light.
And we must part.
With heavy tear-wet eyes, with bleeding heart.
Farewell We cry.

Before we meet,
We can not tell These days, these hours SO

My heart is full OF sorrow, oh my friendl
We part and kiss
Farewell. What sadder word on earth than

How soon alas!

And bliss is done.
How swift alas !. the course of joy is run.
