EdIson's First Check.

When Tom Edison completed bis
model of the now famous ticker" be
submitted it to the president OF tele-
graph company, who asked him to
leave it for examination. Edison was
out of money, and his landlady had
warned him for the last time. He had
decided to ask $4,000 for his invention,
says the New York Press, but when
the president at the next interview
asked his price his courage oozed away.
and he faltered out that he would like
the company to make an offer.
How would 900 suit you ~ said
the president.
What" exclaimed the young
wizard, "all in money!"
Certainly; you can have it now."
"All right"
The check was drawn and handed
over to Edison with these words:
"That is check for $4,000. Go to
the bank around the corner and they
Will give you the money"
At the bank he got into the long line
and worked up to the paying teller's
window. Then he pushed the check
over the sill. The teller saw that it
was not indorsed, and pushed it back
with fitting remarks, which Edison
did not understand, he being even then
slightly deaf. He retired crestfallen,
and the thought dawned upon him that
he had been swindled. He had anoth-
Ell scene with his landlady that night
and visited the telegraph president the
next morning in sheer desperation.
He told of his experience at the bank
and begged for his money or his model.
He was properly identified at the bank,
indorsed the check, and got his money
i'll big bills.

Canneries in Botet0urt.

There may or may not be any money
in canneries but the following clipping
from the Salem Sentinel, relative to
the canning industry in Botetourt
county makes it appear that they bring
an enormous amount of money into
that thrifty county. 1.-THE eighty
canneries in Botetourt county have
packed an average of about four thou
sand cases each of tomatoes sold at an
average of $1.20 per case. This mea1s
the snug sum of 1854 900 for the toma-
to industry in that county for 1899.
There is not an individual in the coun-
ty, rich or poor, black or white who
has not reaped more CT less benefit,
directly OF Indirectly from this enter
prise, and in most cases the benefit has
been greatest to those who secured
employment in the various stages of
the vegetables from the seed to market.

CONGRESSMAN QuarlsS Discusses
Public Questions in Congress.
GIVEN CLOSE ATTENTION.
declares the Farmer to Be an I'M
p0rtant Business Man kind
Words for our Lieut.. Governor
BY the Richmond News.

Congressman J. M. Quarles. of this,
the Tenth District, made his maiden
speech in the House one day last week,
and, contrary to precedent in the case
of new members. he secured the atten-
tion of the representatives, and of the
galleries also. The provision of the
urgency deficiency bill relating to the
rural free delivery of mails being un-
der consideration, Mr.. Quarles dis
cussed the great benefit that would
accrue to the farmers from an exten-
sion of this service, He said that it
would increase the values of land, lead
to the improvement of highways, and
in many other ways better the condi-
tion of the farmer, who, he said, was
already an important business man,
but whom DAILY mails would make
still more important factor IN the bus
mess world. He said that the stability
and future of the republic depended
upon the advancement of the farmer.
He thought that, after years of the
expenditure of millions of dollars for
fine buildings in cities, and for free
delivery there, it was time so large a
class of tax payers as the farmers
should begin to receive the benefit of
this service.
Mr.. Quarles then commented on
the fact that the legislation of Con-
gress instead of being favorable to the
agriculturist, had during recent years
been damaging to and hostile to his
interests. He mentioned that Presi-
dent Mckinley, soon after he took his
seat, called an extra session of Con-
gress for the purpose of having en-
acted a high protective tariff law
which has increased the burden of
the farmer, and called attention to the
great increase of trusts since the Ding
ley tariff bill passed. and the high
prices the farmer is now compelled to
pay for the necessaries of life, while
what he has to sell is as low as when
Mckinley was elected.
He then discussed the currency bill
and the evil effects that must flow
from it's passage. Already trust.rid-
den. the farmer must take upon his
back great banking trust. The pur-
pose of the bill is to give to the banks
the power of controlling the volume
of the money, and thereby the values
and prices of property. Mr.. Quarles
said the people would surely be awak-
ened this year to their perilous condi-
tion, and free themselves from Repub-
lican rule. He criticised severely the
between Secretary Gage,
the Republican party in
stead of the government, and the
Standard Oil Bank of New York.

And of again I sally.

For I'm an early dawner;
And when they think my hope is gone
They find that l I'm a goner!

And while the echoes gayly trill
Another way I IN scooting.
