LIKE RIP VAN TWINKLE
J. A. PATTERSON RETURNS TO HIS
 HOME AFTER 3S YEARS.
Finds the Little Village of TuscumbIa. as He Knew It in Youth. Grown to Be HustIlnR
 Clty

Tuscumbia, Oct. 2s.-(special. )- Thirty-five, years ago James A. Patter- son. son of prominent and well known citizen of this place. then g. boy of IS, left his home to shift for himself" For that period no tidings were had of him. A day or two ago a middle-aged man got off the train at Tuscumbia, and began to inquire of the Patterson family, stating that he had left father, mother, several brothers and sisters in Tuscumbia thirty five years ago.
 He was told that two of the sisters were at present residing here, that three brothers formerly lived in Tus- cumbia. but had removed to other States, and that his father and moth- CT were dead. He sought out. one of the sisters, the elder. and told her that he was the long lost brother. His identity quickly followed. and there was a pathetic scene. The other sis ter was also sought, and another joy ous meeting resulted. Mir. Patterson has since been engaged in looking up old friends. few of whom remain. of his boyhood days, and endeavoring to locate scenes and incidents which would associate the Tuscumbia of thir- ty-five years ago with the Tuscumbia of today. This he finds exceedingly dificuit.
 There are one or two buildings which he is able to recognize. The Big Spring is the only familiar object. All the business houses have been reha- bilitated, remodcled, or given way for new structures, while hundreds of new residences have been built, from a mere country town Tuscumbia has developed into a modern little city. Sheffield has sprung into importance, the site upon which the marvellous little city now stands having been fields of cot ton and corn at the time Mir. Patter- son left this vicinity. He Is now greeted with broad streets. beautiful avenues. iron furnaces. rolling mills und numerous industries. while hand some business blocks. elegant and pa- iatial homes, and evidences of a grow ing, thriving. throbbing twentieth cen tury city are everywhere visible.
 The estate of the father of MT. Pat tsrson has been wound up, divided among the several heirs, and the wan derer left out. MT. Patterson has travelled extensively In this country and Europe during his thirty-five years absence, and says that he surely experiences the feelings of Rip Van winklc on his return to his native city.

BIG INCREASE
 IN TAX VALUES Nearly Every County Shows Growth.
 THE 1904 ASSESSMENTS Figures Taken from Forth coming Report of Auditor. Jenerson, Calhoun, Montgomery, Mo- bile and Etewah Lead In Raises to Meet Redsctiea Ia States Tax Rate.
THE 1904 ASSESSMENTS

Nearly fifteen million dollars year increase in tax valuations, that is the way the good State of Alabama Is growing--fifteen million dollars in crease during the space of twelve months.
 These are the figures from the forth coming annual report of State Auditor Thomas L.. Sowell. To be exact the increase of tax valuations is sl4.567.- 917.
 The figures mean that there Is just that many more dollars worth of prop erty put on the tax books for this year than were on the books for last year. The increase has been largely due to the energetic and systematic way in which the property in the State has been assessed. The tax officials have been more careful in making the as- sessments and they have assessed the property at. figure nearer to It's market value.
 Something of this sort had to be done. The new constitution reduced the tax rate 10 cents on each s100. It put the tax limit at s5 cents on the s1oo. To make up the difference there had to be an increase in assessments but an increase that would be no in- justice to anybody. This has been &C., complished. It could be accomplish ed, however. only by steady and per- sistent growth of the property and wealth of this State. Prosperity and careful assessment brought about the good result.
 The increase came from all sections of the State. The counties most nota- ble for their increases were, Jefferson. Calhoun. Montgomery, Mobile and Eto- wafl.
 The totals are eloquent figures. For 1903 the total assessment of Alabama was $30S, S,625, ,080. For 1904 the total assessment Is $323.1s5, ,s1o.
 The detailed table of assessments showing the taxable values of each County as as follows:

RECORD COTTON GROWING
IN LAURENS COUNTY.
Dublin 5000 Bales Ahead OF Last
Year I'm Recefpts.

Dublin, Ga, Oct. 22.-It is probable
that the farmers of Laurens county
have made better crops this year than
for thirty years. Since the publication
of the report that r. I. Dominey made
this year five bales of cotton on three
acres of ground, many reports are
coming I'm of good crops made. The
best report is from Mr.. John w.
Cheek of Lollie. this county, who made
this year on twenty-five acres of cot
ton thirty-three bales Of cotton aver
aging 500 pounds to the bale Upon
this ground Mr.. Cheek used 400
pounds of high-grade fertilizer to the
acre.
r. II. Duggan made this year If
teen bales of cotton on twenty acres,
and sixty-two bales on 100 acres.
II. A. Adams on fifty-two acres of
land made fifty-two bales.
James Is. Tyre on five-horse farm
planted for sixty bales. He has al
ready ginned seventy-five bales and
is not through picking.
c. n. Veal made seventeen bales on
twenty-seven acres.
II. A. Knight made ten bales more
than he did last year on less acres
of land.
w. II. Warren made six bales Of
cotton on seven acres. and 500 BUSH
els of corn on forty acres.
SO far this season 1886 bales Of
cotton have been marketed in this
city against 10 $50 bales Of cotton at
the same period Of last year. At the
opening Of the season the farmers held
their cotton. but are now showing a
decided disposition 10 hold for higher
prices. Not more than 80 per cent. OF
the farmers are now selling their cot
ton. They believe that the price will
advance and are backing their judg-
ment
The large yield Of cotton and the
high price the staple IL bringing has
made Laurens county more prosper
Gus than az f,ny previous time since
the war.

expressed determination to get 10 cents
per pound. Now all eyes are turned
towards cents as the barrier which
may check the universal desire to sell.
Looking over the past few weeks, 1t
would appear that exporters, fright
ened by the difficulty experienced in
getting cotton during September,
bought freely in the early days of Oc-
tOber, in fact, they must have filled
nearly all their engagements for Octo-
Der shipments from the heavy and
cheap offerings at the beginning of this
month. The present selling movement
is probably the best thing that could
have happened for all parties con-
cerned. 1t will enable the mills to get
supplies at a reasonable figure, caus-
ing them to start their spindles on
full time, and thus end the long and
serious curtailment. Shut downs and
short time are the worst enemies of
the producers, by lessening the de-
mand, while mills now starting on full
time will continue to take their regu-
lar consumption through the balance
of the season. The ginners' report is
TO be published in bulletin about Oct.
"a, probably a few counties in each.
issue, or. perhaps. returns from a state
or two at time, instead of one COM
plete report, as was the case last
year. The general belief that the
amount ginned up to Oct IS will be
in the neighborhood of 100000, against
$685. 27 last year. and 5,925,S72 two
years ago. All eyes are now centered
upon the developments in the interior
Before the present selling movement
is over it is probable that all accumu-
lations will have been disposed of and
the price level will be touched before
the decline halts, may be in and prove
to be the lowest of the season.

Say Bear Party is Strong and ut
Present Have All Advantages.
New York, Oct. 22.-No one outside
the ring could have any conception of
the amount of cotton that has changed
HANDS at each point decline since Mon
day morning. The cotton taken has
been in large blocks and at each point
new buying orders were executed The
cotton is being bought for the trade.
The selling is by the spot people and
by spectators. AS fast as cotton is
bought in the South, the buyer puts
out a hedge here. This will not end
until the turn comes in the movement
and the market will be under pressure
just as long as the movement is full.
The turn will come quickly when it
comes, but there seems to be nothing
In the near future to start a covering
movement. The bear party is very
strong, and for the present bears have
every help. Good weather, big re-
ceipts and no speculation. Later on,
when the election is decided and
things start up again, we will have a
Steadier market. For the present the
weight for actual bales is too much
for the trade. On basis of 91s cents
here or cents in the South, cotton
would seem to have reached a very
modest price level.

J. S. BACHE d CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter TO Hayward.
Wick a. Co.

New York, Oct. 22.-Another bull
week in the New York stock market
and prices continue to advance, not
withstanding the pessimistic opinions
of certain chronic bears, and the top
is long ways off yet. AS we have
pointed out in our former letters all
conditions warrant advancing values,
the leaders of the market point to the
high prices of 1902, and tell us that
this market will discount those figures.
And we see no reason to disbelieve this
statement. With easy money, enor-
nous crops, high prices for all farm
products and railroads making more
money than ever before, with all the
New York banks and heads of the
trust companies in sympathy with the
market, what is there to turn prices
downwards? OF course. there will be
reactions, but only temporary and
every week the market continues to
make gains. Last week the Granger
roads headed by st. Paul led the mar
ket this week the traction and coal
stocks had their turn. Next week look
out for the industrial and Southern
roads. Louisville and Nashville is
scheduled for much higher prices, so
is Chesapeake and Ohio and Southern
Railway. Would advise purchase OF
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Metropol-
itan, as IL is more than likely these
with Manhattan. will all be consoli-
dated with the Interborough This is
an era of consolidation. and the mon
led men Of Wall street are pushing II
for all they are worth. London is a
heavy buyer OF American securities.
and that alone is a sure sign they
believe our country the most prosper
GUS in the world. Buy stocks az any
time or price, and you will get the
money.
