THE ROCK ISLAND RAILROAD
More Substantial Evidence That
il Will Build This Way.

Mr.. s. w. Bogy spent yesterday
In Dallas. Mr.. Bogy does not fail
at all times to be on the lookout for
the good of Corsicana, and anything
that pertains thereto always at
tracts his attention and gains his
support.
Returning from Dallas he fell into
conversation with Mr.. H. b. Lloyd,
who lives a mile east of Ferris. The
conversation turned to the Rock
Island Mr.. Lloyd said that last
week the Rock Island company had
closed deal with him by which
they had paid him 5000 for the
right of way through his farm. The
survey passed over his well and
through his house, making it neces-
sary now for him to move his resi-
dence and sink another well. Ferris
is several miles from the border
and is in Ellis county. 1t has been
an open secret for some time that
the Rock Island holds the deeds to
the right-ofway from Dallas thro'
that county To the Ellis line.
This transaction with Mr. Lloyd
shows conelusively that the com
pany is now buying its way through
Ellis county, ahd as the gentleman
stated to MIR. Bogy that representa-
tives of the road were still opera
ting in his section, it is apparent
they are pushing further and further
south and towards Corsicana. The
sum he was paid demonstrates, too,
that the road is following it's survey
and doing what Mr.. Lloyd said was
being done, viz, mot going around
anything or quibbling over prices
when they are within the bounds OF
reason"
This bit of information, when
added to other facts, is certainly
full of encouragement for Corsi-
cana, for it shows continued activi-
ty on the part of the Rock Island in
its determination to reach the gulf

BEALL- --LUMpkIAS DEBATE.
Good Crowd Out TO Hear Con.
eressiOnal Candidates.

The District court room was well
filled last night to hear the Beall-
Lumpkins debate. The eoiored
voter was conspicuous by his abb
sence, there being no more than a
half dozen present. Judge Lump
kins does not affiliate with the
negroes to any extent In politics,
but boldly declares in his speeches
that he is against negro domination.
Col. NJ. w. Mcknight introduced
the speakers and incidentally called
attention to the fact that a discus
sion between a republican and a
democrat was a rare occurrence In
Ellis county.
In his opening speech Mr.. Beall
strongly urged a full vote in the
coming election, not because the
democratic party was In danger, but
because Ellis county's Importance
I'm conventions for the next two
years would depend on the vote cast
in November. He then attacked
the republican party showing that
there had been a change in republi-
can principles In the last ten years
and that "a republican now was "a diff
ferent thing from one 30 years ago.
He showed the enormous extrava-
gance OF the republican party, how
il had increased per capita expenses
from S2 TO $l2 In the last 80 years,
and touched them up along the line
OF trusts, pensions and imperialism,
and quoted actual prices to show
the injustice of protection.
/ Judge Lumpkins followed in an
hour and a quarter speech. He
began by explaining the position Of
/ his party on the tariff question at
length, and said his party was for
/ the protection of the man, as well as
/ for protection of industries, and
that free trade meant free labor and
filling our country with tramps. He
touched up democracy on the ques-
/ tion Of 'steen To /, and contrasted
conditions under the Mckinley and
the Wilson bills. He said that
4 trusts were corporations and as
such had life only under the state
laws, hence the republican party
should not be charged mp with them.
He charged that the democratic
party had done nothing, and on the
other hand enumerated numerous
great things that republieanism had
done for the nation. He explained
his position in the republican party
saying he was for anglo-Saxon dom
| inatlon all the time.
| Mr.. Beall I'm his rejoinder replied
to the points set forth by his op-
ponent in an eloquent manner, and
In closing paid glowing tribute to
the heroes Of the war with Spain.
The crowd was attentive, and both
speakers were often greeted with
rounds of cheers.

SHRINKAGE OE CORN.

Much has been said at various
times concerning the sbrinkage of
corn In the course of year. Will
liam Koontz, western farmer. made
test of the matter last year, with
the following result: He put 1870
bushels, by weight, of corn of good
quality In bin about eight feet
above the ground, well protect ted
against the ravages of rats and other
lntruders, October lst, 1900. On
September 1st, 1901, or eleven
months from the time he weighed
it in, he weighed it out again and
had 101 bushels of corn, or loss of
30 bushels. The corn when put in
was dry enough to shell readily and
could have been put on the market
at 20 pounds per bushel. Mr..
koontz' shrinkage was a fraction
over p per cent. He is firmly con-
vinced that considerable advantage
IN price is necessary to justify the
holding over of corn.

matter that world be respected by
any court, even.if no rig hts had been
expressly granted over hundred
years ago.
There is another phase of the
fishery question that seems to be
causing some differences of opinion
among the legal fraternity in the
Northern Neck. 1t is the phase
covered by the fish-trap case now
pending IN the Circuit Court. Some
of the legal lights hold the opinion
that Judge Wright acted without
warrant of law when he issued the
injunction in the now famous Krenz
& Neale ys. Williams fsh-trap case.
1t is held, that as the bottom of the
Potomac is Maryland soil, no
Virginia Edge can enjoin any person
from driving weir poles or trap
stakes into that bottom, and that that
function belongs exclusively to the
Maryland courts.
The question at issue in the fish
trap case Is simply an adjudication
of the rights and privileges of two
citizens of Virginia who each claim
the right to fish in particular spot
in the Potomac river. If the courts
of Virginia have no jurisdiction over
the citizens of the state when they
are out upon the waters of the Poto-
mac, what courts have? Maryland
disclaimss,ll juridiction in such cases
of citizens of Virginia. AS to the
right to drive trap stakes into the
bottom on which to place fish traps
1T follows as natural sequence that
the right to fish carries with 1t the
right to use any means necessary to
properly fix the fishing apparatus in
position. Therefore, if man has
the right TO catch fish in the Potomac
he has the right to drive stakes into
the bottom. 1t may be claimed that
as no such things as pound nets
were used in the days of the "Com-
pact" that any right to drive a
hundred poles into the bottom for a
net must be acquired subsequently,
and that as no special authority has
ever been given the citizens of Vir-
ginia, they have no legal rights to
such use of the bottom.
The use of gill nets affixed to poles
driven into the bottom and of fish
weirs made of long sticks woven
together date from very early times,
certainly prior to the "Compact." I"
The use of such fishing apparatus at
the time establishes an unimpeach-
able right to make use of the bottom
in placing pound nets or any other
kinds of nets.

OYSTER PLANTING IN VIRGINIA

\ An oblect-lesson of the beneficial
results of oyster-planting under
twenty-years' leases can be, had very
near home. In the Bulletin of the
United States Department of Labor
for November, 1901, DIR. w. T..
Thorn gives an account of the way
In which the oyster law of Virginia,
which went into operation in 1894,
has benefited the people of Lancaster
county through the building up of
the oyster industry oil the Kappa
hammock river. The beds, which had
been made barren, were leased for
twenty-year periods at one dollar per
acre per year. They have been taken
up by large numbers of planters, who
have successfully grown oysters upon
them, either by planting oyster
"seed," as the little oysters are
called. or by covering the beds with
oyster shells and then waiting for
the 'spat" to strike on these shells.
"The beds leased and protected by
the State" says DR.. Thorn, shave
already become valuable. A few
years ago they could have been
bought at slight advance oyer the
annual rent paid by their lessees.
Last fall they were worth $50 an
acre; this spring they are held at
500 an acre, and the price is ad-
vancing rapidly" An indication of
the way in which the oyster-plant-
ing industry has helped the people
of the section is furnished by the
concluding statement made by DR..
Thorn. "Until withinsthe last twelve
MONTHS" he says, "there had never
been a bank in Lancaster county.
nor, until very recent years, IN a
section of Tidewater Virginia almost
three-fourths as large as Massachu-
setts. Now there are two banks in
Lancaster county, one a State and
one National bank, and this local
supply of capital is result of the
oyster law The possibilities of in
creased prosperity which wise law
for the leasing of oyster lands might
bring to the people of Maryland in
the regions bordering on the Chesa-
peake and its tributaries are enor-
nous. 1T is pitiful to think that
these benefits should be let slip year
after year through the failure of
our Legislators to rise to the needs of
the situation.-Baltin,oye Neacs.

THE WHISPERER.

The BrunSaoick Gazette reproduces
some remarks of ours about secret
mongers, and adds:
1t was favorite apothegm of the
late George Claiborne, of this town,
who was sui generis-a most original
and interesting man as we'll as an
excellent judge of human character,
that cone should never trust whis-
perer, a cockeyed man, or a man who
puts sugar III his whiskey." We
must confess that we have never been
able to discover either the truth or
the wisdom of the apothegm with
respect to the "cock.eyed man" or
the man who prefers his whiskey
"sweetened" rather than straight"
but we fail to recall a solitary in
stance in which it's wisdom and its
truth have not been illustrated in
the case of the "whisperer," the man
who never speaks above his breath,
and who in deprecating tones always
has something evil to communicate
"in confidence" abont others. Such
men and women are social lepers,
and should be treated as social out
casts. They are assassins of character
and should be outlawed from the en-
joyment of that confidence which
they seek to make subservient to
their purposes of defamation.
The Times is right in saying: "Let
the scandal-mongers keep their nasty
stories to themselves. The man or
the woman who desires to be clean
should turn a deaf ear to all such
confidential whisperers." ."-R,chmond
Times.

TIED WIFE FOR BULL TO GORE.
Awful Manner OF Murder by Jealous
Husband.

Never was a more CHASTITY crime
committed than that for which the
Tonawanda, N. Y, farmers are likely
TO lynch j. B. Post, a farmer him
self, who tied his wife to post in
his barn and allowed a. savage bull
to gore her to death.
Post was insanely jealous of his
wife and quarreled with Ser> as he
had often done before over the attens
tions of neighbor. Then he tied
her and had the bull kill her. Post
confessed his horrid crime to his
brother. An effort will be made to
prove him iGsanS, aEI on that slender
chance his life depends, for either
his infuriated neighbors or the law
will enforce the extreme penalty.
Mrs. Amanda Post was attractive
and young. She was much inter-
ested in religious movements, and her
attendance at religious gatherings
enraged her husband. There was a
prayer meeting half mile from the
farm, which she attended, and while
there she spoke to the Rev. Hiram
Coates, u Free Methodist preacher,
who knew both her and her husband
well and was frequent visitor to the
Post home. After the Posts had re-
turned to their farm from the meet
ing, a neighbor driving by heard a
violent quarrel in progress between
them.
In the morning George Jeeves, a
rural mail carrier, stopped at the
Post house to deliver letter, but
there was no answer to his hail, and
he stepped inside the sitting room
through the wide-open door. The
room was in disorder, furniture was
upset and the signs of struggle
were obvious. He went through the
house, calling for Post, and finding
nobody there he went to the barn.
In the bull pen he saw the body
of Mrs. Post, horribly mangled.
Above her stood the great bull, with
lowered horns still directed to the
body that lay at the foot of stake,
about which broken ropes still hung.
The situation exposed the whole
tragedy. The woman had been bound
fast to the upright post, with a red
apron tied about her, and the bull that
was tethered in the pen had been let
loose. The red apron made it certain
that the savage animal would attack.
The frantic charges of the bull had
broken the cords that bound the
woman and let her down to the floor
of the pen and the bull had gored
her again and again. All through
the night the bull had tossed and
mangled the body.
