Oh, the years creep slowly by, Lorena
The snow is on the grass again.
The suns low down the sky, Iorena,
And frosts CLEAN where the flowers
have been.
But the heart beats or as warmly
now,
AS when the summer days were nigh,
Oh, the sun can never dip so low,
Adown atfection'S cloudleSS sky.
A hundred months have passed, Lore
Since last I clasped your hand in
mine,
And felt thy pulse beat fast, Lorena,
Though mine beat faster far IMAM
thine.
A hundred months, twas fowerY
When up the billy slope we climbed,
To watch the dying OF the day,
And hear the distant church bells
chime.

More than we ever dared to tell,
And " hat we might have been, Lore
ma,
Had but our loving prospered WE'LL
But that IS past the years are gone,
III rot call up their shadoWy forms,
But say to them lost years sleep on.
Sleep on, nor heed life's peltlng
storms.
The story Of that past, Lorena,
Alas, care not to repeat.
There were hopes that could not last,
LOrena,
They lived, but only lived to cheat,
I would not cause cen one regret,
To rankle in thy bosom now.
For if we try we may forget
Mere words Of thine long years ago.
Yes, these words were thine: Lore
They burn within my memory yet.
They touch some tender chord, Lore
ma;
That thrills and trembles with regret,
Twas not thy woman's heart that
spoke,
That heart was always true to me;
A duty stern and pressing broke
The tie that bound my soul to thee.
It matters little now, Lorena,
The past is in the eternal past,
Our heads will soon lie low, Lorena:
Life's tide is ebbing out so fast.
The re is a future, Oh, thank God,
Of life this is so small part!
'Tis dust to dust beneath the sod,
But then up there, It's heart tc

were the amount Of cotton OH hand.

IL Developed that the Edwards Com
pany thought that it was being taxed
for cotton in transit that had been
bought. Attorney Williamson stated
that while this was perfectly lawful.
yet the assessors did not intend so To
do.
ALBERT II. Pratt of Augusta. the
agent of the Edwards mill was the
next witness and will be the last of
the company'S witnesses in regard to
the plant. He stated that his educa-
tion and experience in the cotton in
dustry had been gained by four wears
IN the mill of the Bates Mfg Com
pahy at Lewiston and one year in the
LoWcll Textile school, where he took
course in cotton manufacture. He
had been superintendent Of the Ed
wards mill six months before he was
called upon 10 take the position of
agent in 1904.
AS superintendent he understood the
practical working of all the machines
| IN the mill. Concerning the buildings.
the witness said that he considered them
TOO split up to get an economic produce
tlon out Of them. The extra Transport
tation cntailed additional expense that
was 4 serious matter. The rooms nee
ceSSitate more overSeers and are dis
tasteful to the operatives. The witness
enumerated n number of processes Of
manufacture that We're carried on in
several different rooms. The hardest
thing Of all is to get help enough to
operate the mill to its capacity. has
had it running fun only four months
at any one time.
The day that the commissioners call
ed 900 looms were idle out Of a total Of
$50. This trouble is traced to the
spooling. The mill can spin yarn
enough but cannot spool it. If he had
the required spool capacity, 300 Of the
idle looms could have been started
To the individual mill buildings MI
Pratt gave the same objections that have
been raised by the other witnesses.
In taking up the machinery the wit
ness began with The carding He de-
clared the machines obsolete. The new
cards give cleaner ana better yarn ana
give 200 pounds of production as against
80 pounds on the old machines He
went through all the processes in the
same manner, pointing out their prin-
cipal faults, where they had faults
Some of them he said were all right.
The electric light equipment of the
mil Is too small for the work that it
is called upon to do. The lights are
corres7ondingly poor. The wheel houscs
could be improved if their floor levels
were raised. The machine shop the wit
ness thought was fairly good, except
that the west side could not be operated
except by artificial light.
The latter portion of Mr.. Pratt's tes-
timony dealt with the contested per
sonal items. He stated how he reach
ed the amounts that were given to the
assessors and why he placed the price
that he did upon the several items
