ANOTHER prosperous season for

ANOTHER prosperous season for
the woolgroWers tributary to
Dickinson is closed. The woods
were of fine quality this year, but
the average weight per fleece
was a disappointment. 1t was
expected that the wool marketed
in Dickinson for 1906 would
reach the two million point, but
owing to the fact that heeces
averaged fully one pound lighter
than a year ago, the total reaches
but 100000 pounds, practically
the same amount as last year.
The average price per pound
this year has been twenty-three
cents against twenty-five cents
for 1905. Thus the amount re-
ceived in 1906 for wool at this
point has been S391,46o.oo.

RUSSELL SAGE.

Russell Sage, aged go, fell into
a peaceful sleep and passed away
without farewell words or any ex-
pressions about the future. Mr..
Sage had been a great figure in
his day. He was the embodiment
of Ready Money. Brought up as
a merchant, he early in his career
switched to the stock market and
for years had no other business
than to lend money for short
periods to spectators who must
have it at any price to protect
their operations. Whether stocks
rose or fell was a matter of i'm
maculate indifference to Uncle
Russell. AS long as there was
action he made money.
AS a money maker Sage was a
respectable figure. From nothing
he raised himself to enormous
wealth, estimated at S1oo,ooo,ooo.
That is a feat which always ex-
cites the admiration of the Amer
lean people. They even believe
Captain Kidd must have been a
"smart man."
But Russell Sage had fewer
friends than Jay Gould and as
many enemies. Why? Because
having made his money he re-
fused to spend it. The Ameri-
cans have no patience with this
kind of a man. If Sage had gone
to a ball game half tlpsy and
thrown hve-dollar gold pieces
about he would have died higher
esteemed than he did. But the
strain upon his heart action would
have shortened the good mans
life.
Sage was a type of the mean
rich man. He spent beneath
what vas expected of him. There
is also the mean poor man who
spends more than he earns and
he is just as mean, but he is not
on a pedestal like the mean rich
man.-Minneapolis Journal.

RECENTLY a new settler in Het-
finger county took up some stock
and advertised the same accord
ing to law. One morning when
the man went out to the yard he
found the wire cut and the stock
taken away. This method of re-
gaining possession of the stock
was in violation of the law and if
the parties could be apprehended
they would be liable to prosecu-
ton. There is a right way and
wrong way of doing things, and
it is always best to keep within
the limitation of the law.

A PROMINENT young Kidder
county farmer was killed a few
days ago by a west bound passen-

against the boiler. The train was
stopped and a doctor summoned,
but the unfortunate ma lived

KEED YOUR MONEY At HOME.

1t rarely happens that persons find
it profitable to send to the large cities
TO make purchases. The big depart
lment stores send out very enticing cat
Ialogues and it looks like they are Civ
ing you great bargains. but in most
cases the things they SEND are not as
great bargains as the pictures and de-
!scriptions indicate. The best bargains
are made in the stores at home and
our observation has been that for
good quality and solid satisfaction the
man or woman who sends abroad TO
buy does not fare 50 Well as when
they pick out what they want in home
stores. Besides, nearly every man liv-
ing in a town gets his living by trad
ing with the people in his own town.
If he sends off to buy what he needs,
why Should not others send abroad to
buy what they need in his line? UGH
"a course generally followed would de-
stroy the business of any town. The
Greensboro Patriot has the brightest
editorial upon the wisdom of keeping
money at home that has appeared. 1t
says:
There vas q mar in Greensboro and

silver dollar and gave all to Lie; She

\ ROCKING TRAIN.

The whole COuntry is familiar with
that species Of criminal idiot which
amuses itself occasional in rocking a
train. Just what prompts that crude
and vicious bid for notice is hard to
explain except upon the idea that the
culprit. shying his missile from his
hiding place along the bank, feels
vaguely that he has Ventured out from
his obscuritv and made q stir in the
world. Unless he is caught, which is
the last thing he intends to happen,
the train rocker can in few cases ever
hope to know what he has accom-
piished. or whether he accomplished
anything. His rock may have gone in
a window and killed q child; it may
have ~rebounded harmlessly from the
side Of the car. a man who throws a
bomb has a higher form of pleasure
at the price of greater danger. He can
see the smoke, hear the crash, observe
the panic. The sneak with a rock,
however, merely lets it fly at the
rushing train n goes away to cape
and speculate. He has no object to
accomplish, no hate to subserve, no
hope of plumber. 1t is the poorest kind
of an anarchist-this train rocker!
But Rowan county has produced
something new, q rocking train. Says
a salisbury paper:
Henry Howard an OLD negro man,
was hit on the head by a rock yester-
daV morning by some unknown per-
son on the SOuthern's n~OrthbOund pas
Senger train No. SO and was rendered
senseless for several minutes. The old
man. who lives about three miles
the edge of a bank when the train
passed. a rock suddenly shot from
one OF the Vestibules and Howard
dropped into insensibility. The old
fellow is not seriously hurt"
Now that is something new, indeed,
We can imagine the petty wrath of the
train rocker, if we cannot sympathizeI
with him in his anger. There is some.
thing very superior about an express
train rushing along at its sixty miles.
an hour. 1t makes one alongside the
track feel small. It seems to put Oh
airs. 1t is quite within reason that
a weak minded man or a pert child
should wish to rock it just to show
it what's what. But this mauling of
a helpless old negro walking along the
track by someone W~elI-enOugh to do to
ride on a VeStibuled train is the limit.
BESIDES. the fact itself implies pre-
meditation. What was a rock doing in
the travellers pocket? Did he bring
on board a suitcase full of brick bats
and amuse himself as he went sailing
through the country by taking pot
shots at objects along the way? Did
he hit the old negro by accident, or
had long practice perfected his aim /?
Maybe he was one of the big league
pitchers South for practice and trying
his arm. Glad that his victim was
struck where he was instead of in a
vital spot, we can only hope that the
traveller With a magazine of rocks is
not only an innovation but a perma-
nent anachrOniSm: time when the
rich took gun practice at wayfarers|
had we thought passed with the Rus,
slams in China. If there should start
q war between the train rockers and
the rocking trains, modes of travel
would be set back q century. Let us
hcve peace.
