REPUBLICANS
Organized a Club Saturday
Night-Gen. Walker Spoke.

The Republicans Of the Big Ston,
Gap voting precinct met in the
Goodloe Hall last Saturday night
and organized Mckinley Roosevelt
Walker Club, electing the following
officers:
w. S. Rose, president; Col. J. B.
Adams, vice-presiient; and Q. j.
Buckley, secretary.
The band was present and furnish
ed music for the occasion and plenty
of enthusiasm prevailed.
After the Organization of the Club
and short talks by local republican
speakers a committee was appointed
to invite Gent Walker, who was at
the lntermont Hotel, to address the
club.
Gent Walker was introduced By
Hon. j. NJ. Goodoc (the "bad un")
and spoke for about two hours, pre-
senting to his hearers, Of course. the
bright side of Republcahi,m and the
dark side Of Democracy.
Gent Walker said he believed he
was elected two years ago by at
least 2OOO majority, and that he
would be elected again if he could /
receive a fair count. He did not say
inything about the result of the con-
est in Congress for Judge Rhea's

Gent Walker is an able speaker
md we are glad to note that he re-
rains from the use of abusive and
nbecoming language, which he in
ulged in in former campaigns.

aturday night adjourned in honor of t
he Republicans and number of its 4,

When the trees part with their leaves.

And the farmer brings in his shcayes.
Around bed in cottage.
In the edge of lonesome wood.

After many weeks Of suffering.
The angels at last had come

And carry the lilt!c one home.
the cool damp earth they laid her.
For a Last, long, quiet rest.

fluttered down upon her breast.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Nov. IA striking evidence
of the constraint upon speculation was
given by the action of the market today
on the announcement of the declaration
of an extra dividend of ! per cent on
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad stock. Previous to
the announcement the stocks had been
lifted to a point and then reacted. When
the news was bulletined there was
spasmodic rise to 1861, but only one sale
was at that price, after which it fell
back. Early in October Pennsylvania sold
below 12S. 1t has been actively traded
in by energetic bull interests since that
time. and "a great variety of assertions
have been made as to the forthcoming
benefits to the stock. Reviewing these
past conditions, it is fair to assume that
today's action was disappointment to
some of the active bulls in the stock while
it was certainly an agreeable surprise to
the conservative element. But when it is
considered that the net earnings OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad and of the lines
directly operated by it have increased
during nine months of the year more than
$4,000 900 over the corresponding period
of last year. today's rate of distribution
seems moderate The extra dividend Will
involve the disbursement of little over
81. 500. 600 The stocks net gain was u,
and the trading was remarkably quiet.
There was considerable show of strength
in sugar. The advance was attended by
rumors that a break in the prices OF
refined sugars is imminent. The market

ket closed with the level somewhat above

shade lower single lot of Lake
Shore sold just before the close at go
after having sold yesterday at 21O The
closing bid was quoted at 210A. Nothing
could be learned to account for this small
but urgent demand. The repression of
speculation is still attributed to the in
fluence of what are called the CONTROL
ing interests" in the market. The rise
in the call loan rate today to five per
cent may have some bearing on the ex-
treme dullness of the speculation. Stock
market demands upon the money market
during the week have been extremity mod
rate, and further receipts today of i'm
ported gold brought the total up to nearly
50 900 900 on that account. Not a dollar
has been transferred to the interior
through the Sub Treasury since last Fri
day. That call loans should have stiff
fened today under those circumstances
argues some special demand on the mon
ey market The demand is probably due
to the making of arrangements for No
vember dividend disbursements and will
therefore be temporary and followed by
an abundant return to the market within
a few days.
