short Wheat and Corn Crops
Coming Reunion.

LEXINGTON, VA. July 2S.-(Special)-
Farmers reports from the various parts
Of Rockbridge county show that only a
half crop of wheat was made. and the
men doing the throshing in the county
bear testimony 10 the fact by making the
same statement. Now the vast corn crop
il on the decline owing to the want Of
lain, and il has been carefully estimated
that only a half crop Of that cereal will
be made. a very fine crop Of hay has
been made. consisting Of clover and timo-
thy. The yield of Irish potatoes was an
average crop. Wild berries have practi-
cally disappeared, owing to the prevail
ing drought. Apples are not plentiful.
and are now bringing here I'm the market
50 cents a bushel retail. Tomatoes are
on the market at - cents a bushel for
canning purposes.
The survivors Of the Fourteenth Nir-
ginia Cavalry will hold their annual re-
union here August ODD. The survivors Of

paTations TO raise one company out Of
the men now living I'm that county and
attend the reunion. They will make the
journey on horseback and carry with
them their camping equipments and also
have a commssary department attached.
so that it will not be necessary for them
TO forage. as they did during the war.
The men from that county were noted
for the fine horses which they rode while
in service I'm the Army of Northern Nir-
einia. Their surviving comrades propose
to give them a big send off when they

VALUE OF CANALS.

In letter just published, the Hon
Abram 5. Hewitt rverses his former
opinion. and says that tho State OF New
York ought not 20 spend any consider
able sum of money in the enlargement OF
her canals.
Mr.. Hewitt holds that new condition
has appeared IN the great reduction in
the price OF transportation by the rail-
ways due ~ several notably
the greater durability aud the lower cost
Of steel rails the increase In the train
load. and the economy Of fuel in hauling
the train" The cost Of railroad trans
portation. he argues, has been reduced
TO mills per ton per mile, "and there
seems good reason 10 expect further
economies will bring the cost TO mills
per mile" Therefore, Mr.. Hewitt is of
the opinion that there IS mo reason why
the people Of the State of New York
should bear the burden of maintaining
free waterway from the lakes to New
York" Hence, Mr.. Hewitt opposes any
further enlargement of the canal at
present He wishes the people to wait
and see.
There Is much food for. reflection In
the letter of Mr.. Hewitt. But the main
question is: Does the canal have the ef-
feet Of causing the railroads 90 reduce
transportation rates? Mr. Hewitt seems
10 admit that the canal does have that
effect. but says 1.-THE rate Of insurance
0or low freights) Is too highs. e., the
game isn't worth the candle. Again. II
may be worth while 70 consider II IL Is
not likely that the time viii come when
there Will be no real competition In the
railroads running east and west Then,
without the canal, freight rates might be
put up 20 any figure the companies might
agree upon.
In the last few years the state OF New
York has spent some SiOOOo0oO or $1,000
Coz in enlarging the Ehe canal and
branches but most of tho money has
been wasted. There is a canal ring,
which has swallowed up the money ana
given but little work in return.
MIR. Roosevelt, when candidate for
Governor, promised that he would see
that the rascals were punished bat he
has done no such ching. Nor is he likely
to. The robbery to which the State has
oeen subjected has disguised many peo-
pie, and further appropriations will not
be made without much discussion; but I'm
New York Just now whatever Mr.. Patt
says ''goes."
Various schemes for the Improvement
Of the canals have been advanced. me
estimated cost OF these schemes ranges
from Sl5.OOOC,O 90 S2OO0OOOCO. v predict
that one of these plans will be- adopted.
Much will be said about the necessity of
furnishing the farmers with a means Of
transportation independent of the rail-
roads. but tho most active and successful
agency will be the lobbyists who hope to
get fat contracts for doing the work
Thus another crime will be committed In
the name Of "the good Of the people"
