Hon. D. w. Nash.

III Is very seldom that the Register Is
called upon to chronicle the death of "a
citizen so well known throughout Addi-
son County and its vicinity as that of
Dorastus Wright Nash.
Born in the old Nash home in New
Haven seventy-two years ago, he has
never lived elsewhere except during
short periods while away at school and
in attendance upon the sessions of the
State legislature, of which he was
member
But it was not his long and continuous
residence here-at least, not this chiefly
which gave him this unusually wide
acquaintance with the people. 1t was
his genial, social qualities and his marked
interest and activity in what may be
broadly called the affairs of the people
1t is safe to say that no man among the
citizens of his town or county was more
ready to give time and energy and money
for the advancement of whGt he Judged
to be for the best good of the people than
was he. This appeared especially in his
long continued activity as a foremost
man among Addison county republicans,
and also as helper in the financial and
other business matters as the New
Haven Congregational Society, of which
he had been for number of terms
trustee. When their interests called him,
as they did not unfrequently, he was
wont to put aside his own private affairs
and answer the call without stint of
effort Since his death many an incident
has been rehearsed which we'll illustrates
this habit of his active life. And this
was not done grudgingly, with whining
and complaining of Others but with a
relish and cheerfulness which won FIR
him almost always a larger success than
was expected. The older church people
of New Haven who read these words will
recall more than one instance when ID.
w Nash came to the rescue, and the
'arrearages" were cleared up-just as
effectively as they used to be when at
the annual meeting what was called the
Mash trick" was played - i. e., the
was passed around that it would be
opened when the debt was wiped out.
But no characterization of the life of
the departed should be made without
mention of his hospitality.
No man gave warmer welcome to his
home or to share of any pleasure he
himself enjoyed than Mr.. Nash. In
this he was always joined by his com
panion who survives him, and it was not
merely to a few of the immediate circle
of friends" it was to well nigh everybody,
certainly to everyone in need of shelter
and rest whether friend or stranger
This won him large acquaintance not
only but warm friendship
Mr.. Nash was highly honored by his
fellow citizens as man of ability and
integrity.
He was called to serve in both houses
of the Vermont Legislature and he was
entrusted with the settlement of perhaps
more estates than any other man of his
town, many of them large estates and in
other towns Of the county.
His death which occurred June 10 was
the result of long sickness during
which he was for some months nearly
blind. The farewell services which were
largely attended were at his late home
and the burial in the family lot in River
side cemetery.

To Achieve Success.

A New York lawyer whose income
is now $4,000 year and who began
life little less than quarter Of a
century ago as clerk in law Office
at IS week gives this recipe for sue
cess:
Success will come to the man who
recognizes that genius lies in doing
all The commonplace things of life
we'll and promptly, and especially in
doing them better than any other peo
ole. A certain number of hours a
day devoted to a given ambition will
do more than any meteoric plunge for
success in any field. Keep plodding
from day to day and don't lose sight
of the object.''
William Meyer, another New Yorker
whose career began as clerk and who
is now rounding into an international
merchant with an income each year
that is not far from $50, 600 says:
"Success must come to the man who
will try to do the things of life better
than an one else, and, if he can't
do that, do so much more than any
one else that he must be in demand.
From So a week to s8, 600 year was
a steady pull for me, and when 1
reached that mark thought | was do.
ing very well and was rather proud
of my success, but soon saw that
if l allowed myself to be content with
that would 60 back, because no one
stands still; they either go ahead or
90 back. So I took a new grip on
things and started ahead, and I'm in
the same position today. | must go
on. There are no secrets of success !;
success is an open book. Work, make
friends, establish credit. Stick to it
and don't get discouraged. That's
success. -

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, August 15.-The mean
temperature for the week ending Mon
day, August 18th, was slightly above
normal over the eastern half and
slightly below over the western. The
extremes were maximum Of l03 de-
grees at BIackville on the 9tb, and a
minimum Of "a degrees at Greenville
on the 9th. There was less than the
usual amount of sunshine. High
winds, damaging to corn and cotton,
prevailed during the week in the
western counties Bottom lands we're
flooded along the upper portions Of the
Saluda, Broad, Wateree, and Great
Pee Dee rivers and their tributaries,
and considerable corn destroyed.
The long drought was broken over
the entire State. The rainfall was
heaviest in the central counties where
it amounted in places, to over six
inches, and was least in Beaufort and
Georgetown counties where it was
generally less than half an inch.
There was rain nearly every day and
the ground is now thoroughly saturat-
ed. The rain was needed and in
places was very beneficial, but in others
it caused deterioration III crops, es-
pecially cotton, and interferred with
farm work, especially haying and pull
ling fodder. Nearly all crops have
been laid by, and further cultivation
is now imp1acticable.
With very few exceptions, the repots
on cotton indicate rapid deterioration
due to excessive shedding, rust and the
plants turning yellow These condi
tions prevail over practically the entire
State, but are most marked on sandy
land. In many places growth has stop
ped, while in a few the plants are
making new growth. Bolls are open
ing rapidly in the south and central
counties and considerable has been
picked. The excessive heat of the
9th, 9Th, 7th and Sh was very damag-
ing on cotton.
There is general improvement in
the condition of late corn due to the
ample moisture which came oppor
tunely. Tobacco curing is nearly fin
ished. Peas, sweet potatoes and all
varieties of cane are doing we'll. The
frequent rains interfered with prepa-
rations for all truck crops. Rice made
fne progress. Pastures impros ed
rapidly and again afford fine grazing.
Turnips were sown extensively. Late
fruits, especially apples and peaches
are rotting badly.

FREE TRADE WITH PHILIPPINES.
A Change of View Comes Over the
Taft Party Now in the East.

Manila, Aug. 12.-Now that the
Taft party has been in the isands for
over a week consensus of opinion of
the majority of its members on the
free admission of Philippine products
to the markets of the United States
has been obtained, and it can be stat
ed without fear of contradiction that
the attitude of the leaders of the posi-
tion to the policy of reduction OF the
Dingley law on sugar and tobacco has
materially changed since their arrival
here. Representative E. j. Hill, OF
Connecticut, one of the leaders in the
House of the opposition to the further
reduction of the tariff on tobacco, de-
clares himself in favor of the free ad-
mission of cigars and tobacco from the
islands into the United States. Sen
ator E. T. Dubois. leader of the oppo-
So, to the Cooper bill in the Senate,
/ also stated that be will not oppose
free trade while other members. erst-
while of the opposition party, have
Convinced themselves that sugar aud
tobacco from the islands will in no
wise menace like products Of the Uni
ted States.
representative Shirley. OF Kentucky,
a member of the tobacco growing
district, will favor the free admission
of sugar and tobacco, being convinced
that the cigars from there will not
compete to any appreciable extent
with those manufactured in America.
1t can be stated upon good authority
that the Cooper bill, which was
favorably reported upon by the House
&C cmm;ttee at the last session of Con
gress, will now be amended, providing
for free trade instead of the proposed
reduction of 25 per cent. of the pre-
vailing Dingley rates.

Weather and Crops.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The weekly
crop report Of the weather bureau
says:
AS in the previous week the least
favorable reports respecting cS--"nn
are received from the eastern districts,
where the prevalence Of rust and
shedding continues. During the past
week a large part of the central and
eastern portions of the cotton belt
has received from two to six inches Of
rain, which has proved injurious. In
northern Alabama and in portions of
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, cot
ton has improved, but in other por-
tions of these States the crop has
deteriorated In Oklahoma and IN
dian territories, Arkansas and Missou-
RI cotton has generally improved, al
though local complaints Of shedding,
rust and insects are received fro1c
Arkansas.
Toe much rain and lack Of sun
shine have proved unfavorable to to-
bacco in Maryland, Virginia and Ken
lucky, elsewhere this crop has ad-
vanced satisfactorily

A Worker anG His Wages.

Today the people of the United
States are disposed to question the
methods by which an individual has
accumulated wealth or achieved posi-
tion Tue mere nership of wealth is
not sufficient The possessor is called
before the tribunal of public opinion
and must show that valuable consid-
GRAFTON has been given in EXCHANGE for
that which he has acquired. No ten
dency has been shown to rob the work
er of the fruits Of his industry but on
the otker band tie people have said
definitely and emphatically that the
usefulness of the individual to the
community, the value Of his work To
the state and the nation, the part he
has played in developing the natural
resources aud the AID be has given il
building up society shall constitute
the evidence on which their verdict of
his work and bimself is to be founded,
saws the American Lumberman.
In brief it may be said that the pos
session of money itself has lost a part
of lis former significance, this being
true even though to some extent the
measure of a mans success is comput-
ed in dollars Present social and in
dustrial conditions permit of tire ac-
cumulation of fortune in great va
riety Of ways 1t may represent the
fruits Of patient industry, tireless ac-
tiyity, exceptional ability, Invention
or aggressive f.rce; or on the other
hand trickery, fraud, discrecitable
practices and the exercise of undue
advantage over the needs AID neces-
sites of Others Rightly therefore the
public has decreed that the mere pos
session of wealth does not signify CT
designate the worth of the Individual
to either his fellow men or his COM
munity.
Ample room and opportunity are
given the builder and usually if the
operations Ct the individual are con-
Quoted along correct lines the measure
of reward n,eted out is genercus-not
only the monetary remuneration but
that representing the status OF the
worker on man to man basis
Success in a small way is paid for
by the individual at perhaps higher
proportionate rate than where the &C
complishments are on a larger scale.
