Re reflections of An Intelligent Farmer.
From the Clinton Caucasian.
Mr.. EDITOR Il am by no means
competent to prepare an article for
your paper, but as | am unable to work
and the time hangs heavy to 3 man do
ing nothing, Will submit short COM
munication. II you think any of il
worth publishing let it appear in your
paper; if not | am sure there will be
no offense.
Twas thinking recently Of the farm
ers around me and see the average one
is worse off financially than he was q
year ago. In the majority of cases, l
admit the few exceptions, he has put
forth every energy and exerted every
muscle to come square with the world
with the last crop.
He started out in the spring by ask
ing each one Of his family from the
ten year old up that if they would help
all they could during crop time they
should have bale Of the best cotton
to buy their Christmas goods.
Such promises when kept will cause
little boys to work like beavers.
They have staid at home, worked
hard, lived hard, wore the same old
ClOGleS OF the l6SC year.
The wife, in order to prevent her
husband having to pay grocery bill
and store account, has sol all the eggs,
butter, chickens, hams and sausage
that were raised on the farm. She
knows too we'll what it means to buy
on credit.
Harvest time came, short crops
and low prices together make the
farmer feel sad when he sees his con-
dltion. His school bill must be paid;
he finds it small, for the children have
been the field.
The doctor, preacher, sheriff and
guano man surely all must be paid.
Then his wife and children who have
deprived themselves of every comfort
and luxury come up and say, "now we
will take our part"
Now it is that the fellow sees where
he stands. His children are now at
tending some public school, for this Is
the only hope for their education.
And the wife is where she will re-
main, viz: drudging her life out at
home, too proud to complain.
What is he to do another year?
The fact of the matter is the average

one thing is certain, if there is not
some relief, many of our little homes
must go, and our children turned out
without capital or education, which
means abject slavery.
We have tried to live on the taffy
that the little bob tail editors have i'm
posed on US by saying, you farmers
are happy with plenty of hog and
hominy, and what luxury of eggs,
chickens, butter, sausage and hams &C.,
there is floating around you," when

luxuries go.

happiness and prosperity on farmers
is true, just try it, and my word for it.

Commission has not Excluded Passes
From Railway Employees.
TBE CAUCASIAN had pleasant talk
Tuesday with chairman Caldwell, of
the Railroad Commission. Mr. Cald-
well said that the Charlotte News of
last Saturday, published a statement to
the effect that the Railway Commits
SION has passed an order prohibiting
the Southern and Seaboard Air Line
railways from giving free transporta-
tion to the employees of these roads and
members of their families, when living
distant from their work. There is alb
solutely no truth in the statement. No
such resolution has been discussed by
the Commission
The Charlotte News evidently was
trying to work the railroad employees
with false reports of the Commission,
The News" did not read the circular
sent out by the Commission, which
stated who the railroads may give free
passes to according to law and what
constitutes a violation of the act.

building was used for stores, the rest
for dodgers. 1t has been known as
fire trap since it was built. The stairs
were so arranged as to cut off escape.
Many jumped from all the floors and
were taken to the hospital dead or
nearly so. Some of the occupants
penned in were smothered or burned
to death.
The loss is more than half million.
Some say that fifty lives were
lost. The heat was so intense that the
work of rescuing the imprisoned peo-
pie is impossible. About two hundred
and fifty dodgers were in the building
at the time the fire started. The
building cost over quarter of mill

Expense Funds

The National Building and Loan Herald,
IN q discussion of the Expense funds" of
the nationals" finds it necessary to say
such things as this:
First, 1t Is safe to say the effort has not
always been made to keep expenses within
legitimate bounds, and so the fund has been
made a burden to the members. The great
est abuse of this fund has been the payment
of unearned salaries, or, to express it more
f1tly, the payment of gratuities under the
guise OF Salaries. 1t is difficult to perceive
the justice of paying gratuities. 1t is still
more difficult to understand upon what
ground gratuities can be expected. The re-
ceivers of this unearned pap" are usually
presidents who do not preside and direc-
tors who do not direct, but who lend their
names to give "eclat" to the official roster
certainly an expensive luxury to the stock
holders.
Naturally, one form Of extravaganza
leads to another. The purchase of luxuri-
Gus appointments and princely Office fix
lures Is an abuse of the expense fund.
Building societies are poor mems banks.
The capital advanced to pay expenses is
advanced by the poor in good faith, and is
not intended for the purchase of carved
desks. embossed leather chairs, Persian
rugs and velvet carpets Surroundings like
these are not In harmony with Il Corpora
tive bank The business can be done Just
as well with plain ard comfortable furni-
ture as with regal fixtures. What we want
Is economy, not useless luxury

The Man Who Made the Big Magnet

The announcement of the death Of
Lieutenant Colonel William r. King at
Rock Island a few days ago recalled to
the officers at Willetts Point the stories
that went the rounds four or five years
ago about Colonel Kings big cannon mag
net. Colonel King constructed a magnet
at Willets Point by winding two cannon
with wires heavily charged with electri-
city, which was probably the largest in
strument of the kind ever made. 1t
demonstrated nothing new and 1t was of
no practical use. Some of Colonel King $
inventions, notably his disappearing gun
carriage, have been of great use, but
this magnet was constructed merely as
an interesting experiment. The yellow
journal of the day, however, described
this magnet as powerful enough to draw
iron bolts out of passing ships when the
electrical current was on full force.
Starting with this statement, the story OF
the big magnet made the rounds of the
European papers, gaining strength as it
travelled. It finally became a terrible
Instruments of destruction devised by
Yankee ingenuity and, according to one
account of it, which appeared in a French
paper, it's power was SO great that if a

Another Big Combination

. Evidence of the increased interest now
taken In industrial properties is shown by
the success with which the new combina-
ton of spirit manufacturers and distribu-
tors has been organized, says Bradstreet's.
The concern, which is to be known as the
Standard Distilling and Distributing COM
pany. Is to have capitalization of SIC, 000,-
900 of common stock and IS, 100000 of per
cent cumulative preferred stock, and no
bonded debt.
The combination of large financial in
terests which underworld the plan and
furnished the cash necessary to purchase
some Of the properties is understood to
have been several times over subscribed.
1t embraces interests OF the highest i'm
portance in the financial world, while the
practical side of the enterprise will be
looked after by gentlemen who have been
more or less identified in the past with the
American Spirits company otherwise
known as the old Distillers and Cattle
Feeders company. The new corporation,
or, as 1t will doubtless be called, trust"
is in sense ancillary to the existing spirits
company, although entirely independent in
a corporate sense. or in regard to the con-
trolling interest in it's stock.

MAKES A HANDY PET
Arizona Engages Extensively in tn,
Expectation of "Varmints"

The Gila monster has been misnamed,
misrepresented and abused, the Tombstone
Prospector tells us. 1t has been given a
reputation that makes it abhorred of men,
whereas it should have been made a pet.
Every family should have ella monster
in the house. The Phoenix Herald throws
a flood of light upon this phase of American
natural history by printing the following:
w. ]. LeBaron is overjoyed at the return
of his pet ella monster, that strayed away
some weeks ago. He missed the daily bath
and good, fresh eggs and milk that w. j.
has been feeding him, and returned to re-
new his acquaintance. Mr.. L. fondles him
as q society woman would pet pup, and
says he is not half SO dangerous.
A Phoenix curio dealer shipped to San
Francisco recently twelve rattlesnakes,
four ella monsters, twenty baskets, one
centipede, one scorpion, two horn toads and
a plain lizard. That collection ought to be
used as a temperance lecture without
words.
