The report Of the Colorado and Southern Railway
Company for October shows increase in gross
business both the same month of 1850 and OF
September of this year. The increase over OCTOBER
of last year was nearly $4,000 and September
nearly $1,000. The net also showed considerao Die
improvement in comparison with both of the above
mentioned months. being SsS76 larger than for Oc-
tober OF 1900 and So 800 in OF the September
figures of this year The increase in the net for
October is derived after charging a somewhat
than usual operating expenses
The gross earnings for the first three weeks OF
November showed increase Of A225o over the
corresponding period OF 1900. II is expected that
the earnings for the fourth week will be as large
as FOR the preceding weeks OF the month II this
proves 10 be true there will be increase In the
gross for November OF more than $4,000 1t Ia also
expected that the charges against operating eK-
penses will not be heavy for November they
for October. and therefore that the gain In
the net over November OF 1900 will be considerably
larger than Il for either october or September

Profcssions Not Overcrowded.

There is dearth of thoroughly train
ed men in all professions. The more
eXacting the conditions the greater the
need. The thoroughly trained man
nowadays must be a college man. The
universities are using every effort to
train men along special lines for def
mite efficiency in something. The old
idea of college education as general
culture is passing away. The universi-
ty takes men as they are and makes
the most out of what they can do. A
man today in America is foolish to be
"self made" when better means are at
hand. 1t is equally foolish to choose a
self taught man as against other men
who have worked with equal zest and
force and with much better advan-
tages.
Formerly man of an executive turn,
a leader in business or politics, found
in a college education little that could
help him. Now he finds everything.
In the future the college men will be
the natural leaders in industrial and
political affairs. The reason is that the
men born to lead cannot afford to stay
out of college.-Success.

THE Willy WIDOW.
And the Visits to Her of SuitOrs Niles
and Giles.

And the Visits to Her of SuitOrs Niles
and Giles.
The widow is Il resident of Brooklyn.
Two of her friends are stockholders
in Wall street and fellow club men,
bers, but they had never spoken of her
to each other.
And the widow was wary. While
her mind was undecided, she encour-
aged both and arranged that they call
on different occasions. But one even
ing, unfortunately, the two suitOrs met,
and the situation became embarrass-
ing. Giles, who had entered first, be-
lieved he had the right of possession.
Niles was of opinion that the earlier
caller should take his leave first. There.
fore both tarried.
At length, as the hour was growing
late, Niles suggested that they depart
together and discuss a matter of in
terest to their club OH their homeward
way. Giles, unable to find a real ex-
cuse, agreed.
Together they boarded car and to-
gether reached the ferry for Manhattan
borough.
At this juncture Niles, somewhat I'M
necessarily, it appeared to Giles, be-
came engaged in controversy with a
man who had jostled him, but the op-
pOrtunity seemed heaven sent to Giles,
and he embraced it to return the way
he had come. He had been ON the
point of asking crucial question, and
being a man of resolution, he determin.
ed not to risk another hours delay. He
stopped a moment in cigar store tC
arrange his necktie.
Arriving at the apartment house, he
was informed by the hallbOy that the
elevator had just gone up for the las
time. SO near the object of his adOra
tiOn, this seemed but a trivial incOn
venience, and like the ardent p. ]

A SONG OF LOVES COMING.

Love comes with silent feet
Out of the mist of dreams.
With roses is he crowned;
He bears a sword that CLEANS.
Love comes with red rose crown
To where the sleeper lies,
And on the fast closed eyes
The red rose leaves drift down.
They touch the sleeper's lips,
And, sleeping still, he sighs.
They fall upon his heart; he wakes
And looks into Loves eyes.
oh, waking bitter sweet
OF mingled Joy and pain!
Turn, dreamer, ere that Love can speak
And close thine eyes again.
He never more may sleep
Who hears the magic word,
For Love that is with roses crowned
Is girded with a sword.

CONCERNING THE s T a T E
FARHS.

Representative W. A. Stewart, Of
Harnett, was one of the investigating
committee at the State farms near
Tilliery last week. He wrote quite an
interesting letter to the Dunn Banner,
his county paper.
We quote from 1t as follows:
It's q magnificent scope of country
on the bank of the river cleared and
under cultivation. The houee In
which I am spending the night in
company with the remainder OF the
sub committee on Penal Institutions
IL on these farms, and we will be sung
to sleep tonight by the sweet lullabies
of the raging waters as they ripple
over the moss covered rocks OF the his
toric old Roanoke. The State has
$500 acres of land in cultivation here
In Halifax. There's dyke on the
bank OF the river that extends for ten
miles down the bank which protects
the farms from the tremendous floods
which hurl themselves down from the
mountains of Virginia at sundry times
during the year. / was glad to find an
old Moore county Scotchman in charge
down here as Supervisor and with a
az G0 in{c NIT Il
and push. Maj. ]. II. McIver is push
ing things forward and turning out
money for the State. Imagine $4,000
bushels of peanuts, sold tor $l.OO per
busheI, made during The year 1900.
We figured up the cotton crop and
find the farms have produced 1901
bales OF cotton in 1900 and nearly
10000 barrels of corn. To give you q
sample OF what these farms are doing,
the Tillery farm is leased by the State.
Mr.. Tillery furnishes all stock, farming
utensils and boards the stock and the
State furnishes the labor (about 100
oonvicts) and under the management
Of the Democratic Board o; Directors
elected by the Legislature OF 1899 in
which our fellow townsman Mr.. Nc
Lean took prominent part. this farm
has paid all expenses of 2uards, rsure r
visors, overseers and everyt hing else
and has Melted $1,000, while the fusion
list fell in debt ON the same land
This is SAMPLE of what all the far ms
have done except the one in Arson
county which has been a burden to the
State and ought to be abandoned. The
State has lost $1,000 on the Arson
farm in the last two years, while the
fusionists during the preceding two
lost near $4,000. This again shows
the wisdom of the democrats. The
lease on this farm has about expired
and will be abandoned.
It's \ pitiful sight to go through
these stockades and SEQ the prisoners
every ono having story. Some are
those of horror end brutality, while
Others break down In dependency, an.
guish, tears and grief over q wife and
loved ones at home. Truly, 1.-The way
OF tho transgressor IL hard" The pris
one:s arc all cleanly and we'll behaved
and they say they are treated kindly
and with humaneness and considers
tion. When eimitar committee wal
here two years ago they found every
thing in terrible condition, the pris.
oners lousy, filthy and dirty and The
treatment inhumane and shocking.
