Popularity, of Autos.

THE growing popularity of automobiles
is another proof Of American prosperity.
There are today twelve autos in the United
States for each one in England"
The dry goods stores of Broadway, New
York. and the large worsted mill at Law
renee Mass, afforded Upton further rea-
sons for amazement at the pressure of
American business. From the north to
the south, from ocean to ocean it is the
same" he says. I'm the cities the evidences
of this prosperity may be seen on every
hand. New York is being rebuilt utterly
regardless of the expenditure. Mammoth
buildings, throwing those of London in the
shade, are going up every side 1t is the
good fortune of the United States that they
produce every commodity man needs or
desires.
I'm gold production they approach the
Rand very closely. The richest copper
mines are in the Rockies. The worlds pc
troleum supplies are largely drawn from
the United States: coal is abundant and
cheaper than in England; the cotton indus
tries are advancing so rapidly that the en-
tire southern crop will soon be wanted by
American mills.

Can Ignore Foreign Commerce.

America can ignore foreign commerce.
and the American citizen would not suffer
were the United States completely isolated
instead of being surrounded by tariff
wall, over which no foreign manufacturer
can successfully climb. Rockefeller may
be worth as the Americans say, 200, 900 600
pounds sterling, but as the average man is
growing richer relatively quite as fast as
Rockefeller, he is in no burning sense a
grievance
Summarizing his impressions, Sir Thomas
says:
1T Is the more necessary to record these
facts because in England even responsible
and well-informed writers appear to have
little idea of what is happening across the
Atlantic. Their view appears to be that
Americas prosperity is due merely to finan-
cial manipulation. Never was there more
ridiculous theory.
American prosperity depends upon the
immense expansion of solid industries; upon
the increasing purchasing power of the peo-
pie; upon the legitimate development of
agriculture and mining industry, which is
such that it is prosecuting mammoth public
works from which in less fortunate time
capital would be unobtainable.
Such is the general confidence that no.
body is afraid to spend lavishly. In Chi
cago no business man ever thinks of count
ing his change at hotels or restaurants, for
money is made so fast that nobody cares
about few cents or dollars"

INTERESTING susJEe
WASHINGTON Jan. s. Secretary
tof War Taft recently felt constrained
to administer a rather severe rebuke
to Chairman shonts. Of the Isthmian
Canal Commission, and the govern
ment officials who are directors Of me
Panama Railroad company, This
fact came to light today in. the pub
llicaton of the secretary's letter IN
which he transmitted to President
Roosevelt the reports Of the comnis
sion and Of Mr.. shonts, as president
of the railroad company. It was the
manner in which two particular trans
sections were conducted that did not
meet with the secretary approval
and the letter shows that he told NJ.
shonts SO very plainly One was the
selling Of bonds by tne railroad com
pany. 1t seems, because the comnts
sion was unable to meet its obliea
tons 70 the railroad, the directors Of
the latter decided to sell e2s one thcus
sand dollar bonds This they did
without consulting either Secretary
Taft cr President Roosevelt
THE policy ofsselllng bonds was
doubtful one says the. secretatg.
Fand should not have been adopted
until after conference with higher
governmental authority,
When this action Of the railroad
directors was learned, the secretary
ct once, BY direction OF President
Roosevelt, instructed Mr. shoat as
president Of the railroad company to
repurchase the bonds. This was lone.
The Secretary adds: eThe executive
omcers Of the railroad contrary have
been advised Of their error and here
after questions Of this character RilI
not be acted upon finally by the com:
mission or the directors Of the Tails
road company until after conference
with the proper authorities
The other transaction was IN con-
lnection with the cancellation Of the
commissary contract which had been
awarded to j, b, Markell, of Omaha.
The reason for the cellatton 81 st6e
contract was that in carrying out cet
tain recommendations made BY Nj.
Markell the railroad company had
been able to furnish food to rs ems
lpIoyes and for those Of the commits
sion at a less price than that liked ID
the contract. After the cancellation
Markell presented a claim for the ae
tual outlay he had made In preparing
to carry out the contract and also d
claim for the vaIue Of his time and
services. The directors Of the ran.
road company, AT the instance of
Mr., shonts,n says the Secretary taen
voted to allow 70 Markell s1074ssg7

action, also, was taken without CON

MIR. Parker Dead at 80 Years

Mr.. Maurice p ,rker, the Oldest
resident Of StauEton, died last
Tuesday morning at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Y. M. Bickle.
aged 90 years, III months and ID
days. Mr.. Parker received q fall
some weeks ago, and this may have
hastened his death. He was born
in Loudcun county on the l0lh of
May, 1910. He lived for a time in
Winchester and came to Stanton
to live in 1859 and WAS engaged in
business from then until he was
too feeble to attend to business
matters. since which time he made
his home with his children, some
of his time in recent years being
spent In Lexington with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. r. G. Terpleton.
Mr.. Parker is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Bickle of Stanton
and Mrs. Templeton of Lexington,
and by three sons, Messrs. 4. NJ.
Parker Of Stanton. G. w. Parker
of Goshen, and William Parker Of
Richmond.
Mr.. Parker was member OF
the Methodist church, and his
pastor, Rev. HIP. Hamill, otflclated
at the funeral which took place
Wednesday afternoon.

Chittum-NIceIy

A pretty home marriage took
place last Wednesday evening
April gath, at the home of. Mr..
and Mrs. William L. Nicely of
near Collierstown, when their
daughter, Mics ClissiO Ann Nicely.
was married to MI. James Lewis
Chittum of Richmond. The Rev.
2. H. Cowherd Of the Baptist
church officiated, and the ceremony
was witnessed by large gather
ing of friends and relatives.
The bride is quite an attractive
young lady. She was becomingly
dressed In white mohair and silk,
with valenciennes lace and gold
braid trimminge. For several
years she has been popular teach
sr in the public schools of Rock
bridge.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chittum took the
Chesapeake and Ohio train of Lex
ington Thursday morning for
Richmond, where the groom is ell
gagged in business. They will
make their home in that city.

Free Delivery of Mail

Mr.. Charles E. Kelly, rosroffice
Inspector, is in Lexington this
week in the interest of the essnb-
lishment of the free delivery OF
mail. In company with Postmas =
ter Patton, Mr.. Kelley visited
nearly all the business men OF the
town, and many professional and
private residents as well, and the
general expression Of opinion led
him to believy that the time is
favorable for the establishment of
free delivery.
Some of the advantages accru-
ing from such a movement will be
the accommodation of residents who
live remote from the Office, and
who cannot go for their mail with
any degree of regularity. Besides
this the distribution among the
merchants of the salaries OF two
or more carriers, amounting to
some $500 each, will not be in
significant. The main objection
raised is the increase in local pos
tage from one cent to two cents.
But Lexington can i'll afford to re.
fuse to accept the Offer of the gov
eminent tie establish free delivery.
