Among the Railroads.

All the machinists on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad were notified yester-
day of an advance of Is cents per day
in their wages. Their pay hereafter will
be $265 a day. This affects 25O men en-
ployed in company shops at Clifton
Forge, Huntington, Covington and Rich
mond 1t is the second increase in their
pay within three months. From October
LIST the pay of the Chesapeake and Ohio
men has been raised from 1886 and 50 40
a day to a standard of $3.50. The new
increase brings it to $3.50. The changes
are by agreement, and have been made
after conferences between the authorities
of the road and representatives of the
Richmond News.

Dibrell Brothers. of Danville, Va"
writing of the North Carolina crop of
tobacco. says that 10 per cent of the
crop has already been sold. and that by
January LIST. all the markets except three
or four will be closed. They add:
The size of the crop is no doubt - to
% per cent. larger than the two previous
ones 1t is admittedly due more to the
fine yield than 10 increased acreage.
Notwithstanding the higher prices which
have prevailed the last several years,
the acreage could not be increased ma
terially, owing TO the scarcity of labor.
The labor question on the farms is very
serious, and it is thought not possible on
this account TO increase the size of the
crop to meet the increasing demands for
and consumption of bright tobacco"

Tobacco Chat.

There is hot rivalry between Kinston
ana Wilson for first place as tobacco
market. The Kinston Free Press says
The Kinston tobacco market has sold
to October LIST, 1902, S077 100 pounds of
the weed. During October 4.335, 7S4
pounds were sold. making a total of 49,
412SSl pounds This beats previous
records by long odds. Wilson is brag-
ging about selling about 1900, 600. If
only wagon or hauled tobacco is counted
we believe Kinston will beat Wilson.
For a young market Kinston beats the
world. The probability is that next
year Kinston will beat Wilson and lead
all TIE eastern markets. even if We are

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The juniors held a valentine party in
the laboratory Friday evening. BY match
ing cards the boys secured partners for
heart hunting" after which dancing was
enjoyed and hearts played. Later refresh
ments, prepared by the girls, were served,
and the party broke up. Miss Patton Miss
Mandell and Miss Henshaw We're the
chaperones
Prof. and Mrs. Whitaker entertained the
seniors right royalty at their home We'd
nesday night. Readings from Kipling NIL
ed the first hour. Among them We're "A
Walking Delegate" one of Kipling's best
short stories. and one which is replete
with dry humor and filled with local illu-
sions which We're greatly enjoyed Re
freshments were served and the remain
der of the evening was spent largely in
guessing conundrums and recting comic
poetry.
The sophomore basket ball team de-
feated Brattleboro Academy II to at
West Brattleboro Tuesday evening. Both
teams appeared somewhat new to the
game, but they kept matters interesting.
Stoddard shot pretty basket from the
centre of the floor and Knight equalled 1t
by a clean backward shot.

Since the Keene High school has seen
fit to sever connections with b. IL. s., IL
is only Just to the local school to make a
few statements regarding the cancella-
lions of games which caused the break In
connections. Last fall the foot ball game
was cancelled because about five OF the
boys had to stop playing and 1t ala not
seem like good policy to go to Keene with
a weakened team. The previous spring II
rained and Keene cancelled her game here
herself The spring before that, after the
game had been posted for o'clock, keene
telephoned over that they would have To
come at l o'clock so as to take the 4:3u
train home. Manager Boyle told them 10
come at o'clock or not at all. In the
spring of '99 Keene rang in pitcher from
Vermont AGA denny and tried to palm him
off as a KeenN man, but he, being un-
aware of his p.rt. gave the deception
away. 1t would seem from these facts
that Keene is not the one to complain
of unfair treatment.

That's the condition of many sufferers
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty is experienced in clear
ing the head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing,
polutes the breath, deranges the stom-
ach and affects the appetite.
To cure catarrh, treatment must be
constitutonal-alt Alternative and tonic.
Il was afflicted with catarrh. l took
medicines OF different kinds, giving each
fair trial; but gradually grew worse until
could hardly hear, taste or smell. / then

wArreRson FINDS HOPE.
Believes Result Of the Elections Fa-
vorabie to Future Of Democracy.

Louisville, KY. Nov. 6.-Hcnry wdt-
tcrson regards the result OF Tucsdays 8
election as victory for the Democratic
party.
.The results of the general elections"
he says" "offer little ground for sur
prise by either side. except. perhaps In
New York. where Colur has lifted the
Democracy OF the Empire State to i;s
old position of Leadership in the ma
ton"
''rhe Republicans may profess Ella
ton because they have been able to
hold the House with most off-ycar-pre-
cedents against them. but after all. con-
sidering the recent decentralization and
divisions in the Democratic party. q
Republican defeat Mt this time would
have been much more oninous than
the usual ofr-year defeat OF the party In
power. especially since the Republicans
had made such desperate fight this
year to prevent a reverse. the Presi-
dent going the remarkable lengths in
usurping power and rcvolutionizing
his constitutional Office TO take this
trick in the game of politics, which he
has played wide-open and to the limit.
But the Democrats have shown that
they are in better position for the real
measure of forces two years hence than
their opponents, and they themselves.
in the main, suspected. Except In q
few localities they have proved that
they have come together again; that
they have abandoned the rubbish of
the past which they once magnihed
into dissension- preceding issues. and
have united again in the common cause
of practical Democracy

found n more productive country than
we sxpcccd and We lived like kings
on the fish and the game. During the
entire journey VIC did not kill n single
deer or elk. The settlers of the country
kept up the good. old-fashioned custom
Of hanging the carcasscs of game in the
trees. after cutting away what was de-
sired for Immediate use. We found
plenty OF deer hanging from the branch
cs and We had all the vcnison we
wanted without the trouble Of hunt
ing for It. Many times We came across
herds OF deer that were SO tame VIC
drove them away with stones just to
zee them kick up their heels and run.
The mountain streams teemed with the
finest trout and the trip was n summer
excursion which I shall ever remember
with delight. We found immense bod
les of coal and saw evidences of met
ailiferous deposits which will no doubt
be worked profitably when the railroad
reaches Routt county. The impression
then made on my mind is SO vivid that
Il is not necessary for me to visit the
region now in order to appreciate It's
possibilities
