He was promoted brigadier-i
general "a the battle of Sharps-
burg, on the death of General |
Branch of North Carolina. This
promotion was on the recommen-
darions of Generals Lee. Jackson
and A. p. Hill, for gallant and
merltorous conduct"
He played conspicuous part
i'll the Battle of Charlottesville
May l, ?, 3. 1868. His brigade
was the only one on the front line
when Jackson was wounded in
the dark by the 18th North Caro-
lima Regiment. He had his horse
shot under him in Pickett's his
toric charge. At the Bloody
Angel, Lanes North Carolina
veterans successfully stemmed the
tide of Federal victory, as they
went surging to the right. His
command laid down their arms
at the SURF ender of Appomattox.
After the war, General Lsne
re-entered the profession of teach
ing, holding in turn the following
positions: professor of natural
philosophy and commandant,
virginia Polytech mic Institute;
profes sor of mathematics, School
of Mines, Missouri; and professor
Of civil engineering, Alabama
Polytechnic Institute.
General Lane was a man of
most conspicuous traits of Charac-
ter; earnest and honest in his con-
viCtions; absolutely fearless and
and straightforward in his con-
versation; loyal and sincere in all
of his relations of life. He was
an embodiment of the finest quail
tiles of the cid time Southern
gentleman.
HIS wife, who died a few
years ago at Auburn, was Miss
Charlotte Randolph Meade, q
member of the distinguished
Meade family of virginia. Gen.
eral Lane leaves four daughters.

What the People Like.

The President has not yet beer made to believe-and has no reason to believe-that he is responsible for the fluctuations on Wall Street, but he reiterates his former statement that whether he has or may have any influence in depressing specula- tive stocks, he does not propose to alter his policies toward Successful dishonesty" one jot. That is what the people especially like about the President. He is absolutely honest in what he undertakes to do for the country, he makes his distinctions between right and wrong to himself and to the pubic, and then he sticks to the line of action he conceiyes to be best calculated to right the wrongs practiced against the people Kansas City Times.

PUSH THE CANNING FACTORY

A news article of some length was printed Tn The Star Saturday show ing the great growth of the fruit industry in northern counties of Arkansas because of the establish ment of many canning factories, evaporating and vinegar plants, all of which industries have been great ly stimulated by the pure food laws. The prosperity of the fruit growers is sure to be greatly enhanced by those institutions because they turn into profit large percentage of the fruit crop that otherwise was practically dead loss, being either too perish able to await a favorable market or else of not sufficiently high quality to be readily saleable as fresh fruit, but valuable for canning, for evapo- rating or for the vinegar vat.
 Now that Polk county has demon strated in competition at the Arkan- sas State Fair that she produces the finest apples in the state by winning first and second premiums for the best collections, and many firsts on specific varieties, it should rapidly get in the front rank as an apple producing county. and. the move m snt for the establishment of can ming factory should be greatly ac- celerated.
 As has been previously pointed out, this county does not need to await the growing of entirely new orchards before it can produce large apple crops. There are many com paratively young orchards now in existence that, with the means for using all the fruit. aided by spray ling and other proper methods of

Saving All the Fruit.

To The Star:-New canning fac tories are springing up all over the South, and those that were in opra- tion this season all show good re- suits, and while lack of fruit, especially in Texas, made the can ming season a short one-and all had orders that they could not fill. In East Texas, the Omaha Canning Company closed down for lack of fruit after running thirty-fve days. The output was only two cars of fruit which was sold at Texarkana at good prices, and after paying all expenses declared a dividend of 12 1-1 per cent on a 35-days' run. The pronounced success of the new canning factories in the South is only another evidence that the peo- pie begin to realize their importance in saving the entire fruit crop of their localities. The shipping sea son for peaches, for instance, lasts only a few weeks and the rushingsot fruit to the markets puts prices sc low that in many cases the shipper does not come out even.
 Just here is where the cannery begins to do good work for it puts into cans the fruit and vegetables that are not profitable to ship there by saving them from going to waste, and, besides, giving the producer a profit on them and keeping at home the money that would otherwise be sent to Baltimore, Cincinnati, or other cities hundreds of miles away, to buy the goods that are produced in abundance all over Arkansas.

 WILL TfiIS END TRUSTS {?

Certainly the most radical step ever taken by the government for the suppression of the trusts was instituted by the Department of Justice in confscating goods at Nor folk. Va, alleged to have been made by the Tobacco trust.
 In all prior fights the government in prosecuting has been compelled to prove that a trust existed. If the courts support the present move of Attorney General Bonaparte in talk ing possession of trust made goods, the shoe will be on the other foot the only way the conhscated articles can be regained is for the makers to come into court and prove they do NOT belong to a combination illegal

BITS OF EVERY DAY PnlLoS oPnY
lAtchlson Globe,)

(Atchlson Globe.)
 A lucky man is a man who saves what he earns. If you crowd friendship too much you will find the limit.
 Because you don't hear of it, don t imagine you are not being talked about.
 It seldom pleases man to be told of tn goodness or greatness of an- other.
 Say what you please about wom- ans tears; they float her out of a lot of difficulties.
 It is bold old soldier who, when addressed as colonel" says he is not colonel and never was. When an old bachelor does finally get married he does it as silently and mysteriously as though it were a penitentiary offense. When a woman has company, she has to work as many schemes to have her company entertained" as poli- SiSieAh NOSo bO SII NOISo. A pup looks so mild and innocent that we sometimes think it will turn out better than others of it's kind; but 1t always turns out dog.
 It isa great joy to eat at the home of a woman so lacking in style that she only has three implements--knife, fork and spoon-at each plate.
 Most people are so careless that greater homage should be given the member of every family who has a talent for finding things that are lost.
 Yesterday man went to a par ticular friend and told him a secret. adding: Now. this is in the great est confidence; do not, under any circumstances, repeat it." Within an hour the friend told the story to a crowd of loafers. The friend YOU coniide in will be equally unreliable, probably.
 While 1t is not proper to accept husbands invitation to his home un- less his wife joins in the invitation it IS proper to accept wife's invita- ton without the husband joining in. The man pays the bills, but if his Wife knows her business she runs her husband, her home, her children and her kin folks and most of her neighbors.

- OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE
 HERE.

In another place in this issue is an article showing that in Northwest Arkansas, the locality in the state where fruit growing is most ad- vanced, the egg and poultry indus try ranks second in the list of pro- ducts, the shipments from Benton county alone being more than $500, 900 during the past year, while from Siloam Springs there were shipped products of the lowly hen to amount of more than $100,000. This IS, of course, only the surplus pro- duction-that exceeding the home consumption, which in any such community is always large.
 In Polk county the poultry prod ucts, particularly in eggs, are often short of the actual home demands, and it is found necessary to send money to other sections that should be kept at home and distributed among our own people, particularly farmers wives and children.
 What is true of the poultry indus try here is equally true of dairy products, much money being sent to other sections for butter, which brings high prices all the year around if of good quality.
 These are industries that with proper attention can be made ex- ceedingly profitable in this section, and, like the rapidly growing fruit industry, will do much to maintain all-the-year-around prosperity.

 WILL HAVE TORE POWER.

John Temple Graves, long known as the able editor of the Atlanta Georgian and News who created a stir some months ago by advis- ing William Jennings Bryan to nomi- nate Theodore Roosevelt for Presi- dent. has accepted the position of editor of the New York American, the greatest of Hearst's string of eight newspapers.
 Mir. Graves is a man who has shown himself fearless in his advo- cacy of his ideals, and it will cer- tainly be interesting to follow his work when he assumes editorial charge of one of the greatest news papers of the world. Reaching, as he will, millions of readers, his power for good will be multiplied many fold.

s;chts and Sounds to Wirdward.

The President has shot a bear. The trick was turned at last by his going after the animal and not sit ting in a canebrake to await It's ar rival. What exasperates the pubic mind, and lashes into fury the pa triotic. impulses of proud people is that evidence accumulates of his having been stationed to windward of the pack. The bear which escaped at sunset Wednesday did so only because, though followed by the dogs in full cry, beating in toward where the hopes of this nation were centered, it swerved suddenly, and with a snort heard far and near, " nearly doubled on its trail in getting away in an opposite direction.
 The animal would have risked a tenderfoot, and charged straight ahead rather than have taken the risk of doubling. The men who put the President to windward didn't know that the wind, which bloweth where it listeth, bears news of him to every thing for which he is out gunning.
 Look at those as they are now breaking for cover, who but short while ago were going at full speed their own appointed ways. Trust magnates, high financiers, captains of industry, and all and singular the men who had left trail behind them so hot as to prove they didn't care who struck it, have all caught wind of him. And they have all turned tails. If he should sit and wait for them he would never get them. Globe Democrat.

A few weeks ago Rockefeller, Morgan and other leaders in the Wall Street financial clique were prophesying an awful panic soon. The suspicion then abroad that they were bluffing seems strengthened by the fact that those same men are coming to the rescue of the stock market in New York when 1t IS made clear to them that Roosevelt cannot be scared from his pursuit of financial crookedness by their threats. It will take a good deal of "rescuing," too, to save these same people from trouble. In the mean time, the honest business men and institutions of the country are little disturbed.
