was he once star performer q any
distance from 100 yards TO a l2-houI
race, but he knows how to get other
men into condition, a faculty which
many athletes do not possess.
An excellent team could be secured.
To be sure it might be larger than the
team Of visitors but as the latter are
picked men and the entire country was
hunted to get the best there could be
no objection on the score Of numbers.
For the sprints there are !. J. MOyni-
man, D. r Kennedy, Charles O'Conn0r
and several others who could do close
to even time if they trained properly,
Moynhan and OConnor wouldAiye any
OF the visitors a hustle in the quarter
mile. For the half mile, w. II. Moran Of
the high schools MOynihan and Nc
Laughlin would be q trio which would
worry any Of the visitors, and maybe
whip them all. In the mile, Mclaughlin,
Moynihan and Joseph Deadly make an
other interesting trio and they would
make any Of the visitors step to win.
There are two star field men IN Wor-
cester-J. Fred Powers and r. p. a.
Gilchrst. Several others could be OBJ
tanned easily by such a man as Ken
ney, who knows the game in field events
as well as running, and could give
proper coaching 10 the right kind of
athletes. Powers would give any of the
visitors hustle in any event of the
field except possibly the running broad
jump. The Irish team has a man with
it who is said TO clear over % feet with
out turning a hair. He is credited with
being able to beat any jumper in the
world among the amateurs.
Although the project is but started it
gives good promise of fulfllment.
Members OF the Ancient Order Of Hiber-
mans, to whom the plan has been mem
toned, Immediately gave it their APP
proval. The project viii doubtless re-
ceive official consideration at their
hands before many meetings.
The athletes who have been ap-
preached on the plan are heartily in
favor Of 1t. They think they can organ
lie a team that will give the Irish Wis
itors a game to surprise them.

What adds more to the joy of life
than a nice new buggy or carriage7
Don't say you can't afford to buy a
new one. Perhaps you can't afford to
buy one from your dealer, for he must
pay a profit to travelling statesmen,
Wholesale dealers, and himself, etc g,
etc.. But you can buy direct from the
manufacturer and save these profits.
Write the Elkhart Carriage and Har
ness Manufacturing Company, E khart,
Ind, or the Columbus Carriage and
Harness Company, Columbus, o, and
be convinced. This new method OF
dealing direct with consumer and saw
ing middleman's profits is proving
justly popular.
The advantages to the consumer are
almost beyond estimate. He gets bet
ter goods; better and larger selection
better styles and finish and finally he
buys at a much more equitable and ad

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
This week / read with interest the
article entitled "a Cotton Growers
Trust" in the Farmer of February
14:h, by M" l wish he had gigen US
his name with address. That article is
nothing to be afraid Of. 1t makes one
thrust that goes clear to the bottom OF
our industrial trouble. While the
writer appears willing to engage IN a
cotton trust as a kind of dernieT resort,
vet he plainly sees that the remedy
would only be a selve to soothe for a
little bit the cancerous ulcer that Is
eating the vitals of all industry. TIE
drift of his article, if l understand IT,,
is to show that a money famine" Is
the aiIment and that plenty OF money
will cure the disease, and then, hard
times will vanish from our shores"
Brother M, it will be seen that you
and Common S9nse," of Concord and
I have the same end in view, for we
confront the enemy, a%varice; that ls
the part of capital that is in the hands
of selfish and avaricious persons who
want more and more and are combln
ing their forces to get it regardless OF
right aud Justice toward their working
neighbors.
Now 1 am going to stand up beside
YOU both and draw my bow at 9
venture" sending an arrow kissing
into the ranks of the enemy. We shall
see whose shot hits the king, If any
does.
First, l ask; will abundance o.
money satisfy selfish avarice, and leave
enough besides to give the people gooc
times9 No! abundance OF money
alone. will only be the open door tt
more wrong, because avarice ID a bot
tomless pit and the entire products o
all industry will not satisfy it.
Again selfish combinations al
pools, trusts and combines are selfish
Against capital or labor, is only fight
ing the devil with his fire and instead
of our thus hurting him, he laughs a
his own victory, and again rakes OF
the s'chips" risked in ar unequal gam
we played on his gambling table.
This whole troublous matter ls a con
aict between getting ones bread an
wealth by work, on one side. and get
ting ones bread and wealth withou
work ON the other side. Let us illus
trate it by two armies IN combat
!, From u side looking over at tn
;. enemy we see the array presented.
Money, as NJ. truthtully says, "la tn
, life blood of prosperity" and it SHOULD
be made to benefit the workers as mucI
if not more than any others. Its use
r ~fulness should permeate every avenu
t of our industrial, financial, commercle
8 and revenue business.
So money is the MORO Castle" Z
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1899-03-07

Mr.. Oonnor wanted to. know If it was
not taking fcom the people in one way
and then putting the money back IN
another. He asked whether the rail
road commission would not take into
consideration this tex in making it's
assessments. Mr.. Thompson said yes.
Mr.. Connor. there said that the valua
ton would therefore be reduced. He
said the State was seeking to get lower
rates on the railroads. Mr.. Willard
said that in Wisconsin, with an. Ad.
mirable railroad commission, @ license
tax is levied on railroads and the rate
is 4 per cent. On gross earnings, and
that it proposes to raise all it's State
tax for railroads. Ne. Willard said
the matter came right down to a ques,
ton of whether the railroads were able
to pay this tax without any increase
in taxation. He said that very prob
ably the objection to this tax is that it
is a percentage tax, instead OF a lump
sum. Mr.. Willard asked whether the
tax ought not to be imposed whether
the railroads were making anything or
not. MI. Willard said the railroads pay
tax on assessed value of $32, 900. 900,
while their property is capitalized at
| S12O, 900, 900. Mr.. Holman said this
tax was a new departure but had been
we'll considered. Mr.. Craig took ground
against this tax on railroads, saying
he would not vote for it; that it was il
violation of the priE c!ples of govern
ment.
At 80 the committee rose and the
House adjourned-the question unde
cided.
At the night session the following
bills passed third reading: To extend
