Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1906-01-12

The Democrat has not hitherto
espoused the cause of any can
didate for Governor, but occupi-
es the attitude of an impartial
onlooker and will continue to do
so. And viewing the situation
from this discursive standpoint,
we readily agree with unpreju-
diced political observers, that
the loss of Gibson County on
Monday practically puts Judge
Bond out of the running and adj

HIS DOGS DEVOTION.
Master Goes From Colorado to Vir-

For weeks, "Shep," blooded Scotch
collie dog, waited at a lonely station in
Augusta county, Virginia, for the re-
turn of his absent master. The master,
c. f. Dorian of 104S West Eighth ave
nue., Denver, when he heard that his
devoted pet was homeless, took a rail
road trip to Virginia to get possession
of the dog and bring him to Colorado
The two have never been separated
since.
Mr. Dorian was at the Union depat

GREETING TO THE NEW YEAR.
Scotchmen Gather Annually in ST.
Paul's Churchyard, London.

"The sad old churchyard of st.
Paul's in London is quiet and desert
ed save for one night in the year, )"
said an Englishman. THAT night is
New Years eve. Then all the Scotch
in London fill the place.
"Since DIR. Johnson's time the
Scotch residents of London have seen
the New Year in together in St.
Paul's churchyard. They begin to as
semble at 9 o'clock and soon the yard
is filled with Tam O'Shanters, plaids,
bare knees and bagpipes.
Scotch whisky is drunk freely as
safeguard against the cold, moist
air. There are lot of 'Hechs' and
'Hoot mons to be heard. The bag
pipes squeal and squeak till you think
yourself in the pork department of a
slaughter house.
"Then suddenly everything is hush
ed The Scotch clasp hands in a great
circle The twelve strokes of mid
night boom out solemnly.
"They die upon the air and in tre-
mendous chorus the Scotch sing Aud
Lang Syne.' They sing it with feel
ing. Tears fill their eyes as they think
of home.
"Then the medicinal whisky passes
about once more, there is a highland
dance or two hearty good nights and
soon enough the churchyard is empty
and silent again."

His "Precious Stone" Was Glass.

when we reached Ceylon," said
man who had gone around the world
on 5000 tourist ticket, Il thought
that we had struck at last primi-
tive and outlandish place, unsullied
by a civilizations hands.
Strange outrigger boats filled the
blue water and men dressed like wom-
en- in bright silks with long, plated
hair and soft voices offered us
strange fruits, flowers and carvings
in ivory and dragonwood.
Il bought for rupee an uncut
ruby that the vendor had first asked
eighty rupees for. Ceylon is the land
of jewels. They get there superb
emeralds, rubies, amethysts and
pearls. 1t seemed to me that had
gotten bargain.
But the American consul said with
gruf, harsh laugh when l showed
him my ruby:
"a piece of colored glass. Ger
many ships here tons of this glass
every winter, made up to resemble
the precious stones that Ceylon
yields. These glass stones sell read
lily to tourists. The poor fools think
they are buying gems swiped by the

W. A. GARDNER AGAIN PROMOTED
General Manager of the Northwestern
Is Made a Vice-President.

Announcement has been made to-
day of the promotion of General Man
ager William A. Gardner of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad to be
a vice-president of the road. This is
another chapter in the steady rise of
Mr.. Gardner since he first entered the
servicce of that road in 1878 as a
telegrapher.
Other changes have been made
among the vice-presidents of the
road, who are now four in number.
and each has charge of y certain de-
partment of the administration of the
roads affairs. According to the slate
posted they are as follows: Hiram r..
Mccullough in charge of freight pas
senger traffic; William A. Gardner,
in charge of the operation and main
tenance of the railway of the COM
pany and of its proprietary railways;
Marshall NJ. Kirkman, in charge of
receipts and disbursements, and John
NJ. Whitman, in charge of location and
construction of new lines.
William A. Gardner was born in
Gardner, H., March 8, 1859. Since
1878 he has held many positions with
the road. until Dec. J., 1900, when he
was appointed general manager. He
is a director of the Western Trust
and Savings bank, a republican in
politics and a member of the Union
League. the Chicago Athletic, Evans
ton Country, Evanston, Glen View,
and Hamilton clubs.

Margin of Profit.

The industry is operated on a mar
gin of less than cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands OF
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States,
who buy their live stock in competi-
tion with the packer doing an inter-
state and international business. Like
wise the packer must sell in compe-
tition with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes in the
industry, no complicated and expen-
sive factories, and as live stock can
be purchased in almost every hamlet
and city. and the preparation OF
meats is simple in the extreme, local
slaughtering will long remain fac
tor in the production OF fresh meats
and provisions.
