TROLLEY LINES INCREASE
VALUE OF FARM LANDS

The effect of trolley lines on land
values is beginning TO be apparent, even
in portions OF the country where lands
have hitherto been comparatively cheap
A line of ten miles between Anderson
and Belton. 5. g, has greatly increased
since II became known that a trolley
line was going to be constructed Farms
along the line within one mile of the
right of way are reported TO have ad-
Vanced IN value from % 1-3 10 80 per
cent while farms over mile from the
right of way have increased from 10 70
90 per cent. The percentages represent
actual land sales. and not asking prices.
The cost of construction of trolley
lines Is Increasing on account of the
larger size of cars which 1t is found
necessary to install. A cost of from
S175O0 70 S20O0O a mile Is estimated FOR
The above line. The rails are TO be
seventy pounds per yard, laid on stand
ard steam railroad coarse ties, with
> s0O ties 10 a mile. The cars them
selves viii cost $4,000 apiece.

in Congress, was fond of telling about a
fine old gentleman down IN TupeIo,

cussiOn of his chosen theme Finally
he determined to become a candidate
himself and went out upon an cleo

When his friends twitted him about

KiSpert a Candidate.

1t has been reported in this city
no doubt for d political purpose and
to aid the candidacy of the democra-
tic nominee, that F. P. Kispert the re-
publican candidate for sheriff, is not
candidate IN his own interest but
that of his opponent. Mr.. Kispert
has authorized the Leader to make the
statement that the report is false in
web and wool, and circulated for the
purpose of misleading and deceiving
the voters in this city and vicinity.
Mr.. Kispert wants it most distinctly
understood that he is candidate and
will pursue every honorable and
legitimate means In his power to Sc
cure an election to the office for which
he has been nominated-thato of sheriff
for Jefferson county, and would eau
tion the voters against believing any
reports to the contrary.
Mr.. Kispert will be here today for
the purpose of meeting friends and
making arrangements for vigorous
campaign from now on until election
day, which will convince his opponents
that he means business and that he
is confident of being elected.

PHILIP DOUGHERTY
SUMMONED BY DEATH
Resident of WdtertOWn for
Many Years Passed Away
Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday morning another old resi-
dent laid down the burden of mortal
existence and found rest in the sleep
know to mortals as death. Philip
Dougherty had been resident Of the
city for many years and was we'll and
favorably known by many of our cit
lzens who, in passing away, leaves
many friends to mourn his departure
from the activities of life in the flesh.
He enjoyed for many years the unique
distinction of being the only citizen
of Irish birth in the Sixth ward, a
distinction that afforded him consider
able qualification and pleasure. The
deceased is survived by son who is
absent, and daughter with whom he
resided, who will certainly miss the
aged father, and who has the SYM
pathy of all the friends and neighbors
in her great sorrow and loneliness.
