EASY FOR DAN PATCH
M'HENRY HAS SOFT THING AT
 MEMPHIS.
"old Black Joe's" Son Wins in Straight Heats, Best Time 2.o8h While He Had to Do 2.O5
 at Lexington.

Memphis, Oct. 2e.-The card offered by | the Memphis Trotting Association today was an attractive one and three thousand people were in attendance when the first l race was called. The new track is re- garded by visiting horsemen as one of the fastest in the country and it is con- fdently expected that The Abbott who tomorrow goes against the worlds trot- ting record of 2:02 1-4, will give a good account of himself.
 Today's races were well contested as rule, the most exciting finish occurring in the free for all wagon trot when Mabel Onward and Ellert finished noses apart in both heats.
 The 2:2o pacing event was won by Tom Nolan after Frasier and Lou Vaughan had each won a heat.
 ,Dan Patch was a prohibitive favorite in the 2:08 pacing race selling $10O to $S for the field. The son of Joe Patchen was never in trouble and won in three straight heats. After the performance his owner announced that the little brown horse would be retired for the remainder of the year. Dan Patch has remarkable record for the season, having won every race in which he has started-twelve in number, and losing only one heat.

 Tobacco is in Tehuantepec great in- dustrY. One evening some of our party of sixteen were kindly given a night s shelter, Mexican fashion. at a hacienda or farmhouse. Hotels-except in the large towns-are unknown. It was about p. m. when We arrived. Sitting on the wide veranda to receive us We beheld the entire family On the right of the door was the lady of the house in a white cotton gown, smoking a cigar below her were the daughters and hand maid ems, also smoking. On the other side of the door was the ranchero or master himself, with his sons and men servants Every one was employed in rolling the tobacco leaf into cigars, and every one was smoking, incluGlng little boy not quite wears old, who had fuli-sized cigar in his baby mouth, which he puffed at most prcfessionally, while in his left hand he held banana from occasionally stopping to play with a small pun py dog!

 Conditions, as a whole. were quite favor able for harvesting the staple crops; no ram occurred. and the days were marked by nearly unbroken sunshine and mild temperatures, though night temperatures were rather low, making the warmth for the week, as whole. quite deficient; light frost occurred in nearly all northern and many middle counties from the I4th to 9th and. the 5th. heavy frost occurred in some north central counties, on which date light frost was reported as far south as Evergreen, Conecuh County. Cotton is practically all open; picking is completed in some localities and will soon be finished in all districts: some cotton in low grounds of the north central counties was nipped by the frost of the 5th, the damage not being seri- ous while there are some reports of slight i'm provement in yield. for the State. as a whole, 1t Is still estimated as considerably below the average. Corn Is being housed quite rapidly, with a generally light yield and some com plaint of damage by rot from previous expos ure to rain Hay is still being saved in good condition, and the hay crop will be an excel lent one. Cane is of good quality. but the yield Is rather light. much more so than anticipated: sweet and Irish potatoes are being dug, with fair to good yield: field peas and peanuts making satisfactory yield and. in fact, all minor crops are generally satisfactory. Preparation for wheat and oats is rather back ward. though some of both grains were seeded, and previously sown rye and oats are making fairly good stands. Fall blowing will be pushed. as soon as cotton and corn have been secured.

Mayor Shanahan is considering
the advisabiity of submitting a
proposition to the voters OF this
municipality on the subject of
waterworks. The proposition in
contemplation provides for the
levy OF a one per cent adyalorem
tax for meeting the expense of
system of waierworks for the city
to be owned and operated by the
city. This is perhaps the best
method of obtaining this much
needed public utility The town
ought to have protection against
fire and with our available water
supply there is no good reason
why we should not have ample
protection. 1t is poor business
policy TO run the risk Of having
the town burned up when it could
be rendered practically safe by the
expenditure of few thousand dol
lara.

May Resume Payment 81
Bonuh 10 lick ct AGENTS

SRaflrohds May Resume Payment OF
Bonus TO Tick ct Agents.
Chicago, March 29.The resumption
OF the payment of commissions in ticket
sales is a possibility threatening vest
iern railroads, according TO todays
Evening Post. Railroad officials are eX
cited over reports of certain roads now
paying commissions to a firm engaged
in running summer excursions. Roads
which which refused TO give this firm
commissions for routeing business over
ther lines have been refused business
by the excursion people, it is claimed,
and the traffic was given exclusively TO
roads paying commissions prior TO the
agreement abolishng such payments.
This is taken as strong evidence that
the latter roads are violating the agree
ment, convincing proof of violations
likely TO leadto the practical abrogation
sof the covenant BY the roads concerned
and the resumption of commission pay
mentssto ticket agents as before.
