Sherman Preferred He'll.

Say, Mr.. North Dako ota farmer,
did YOU ever hear ola home-seek.
ers excursion to Texas, C0lora-
do, New Mexico or Florida in the
summer months? Old "Billy'
Sherman once said, between Tex.
as and hell, he would prefer the
latter place. It's a pleasant di-
version to visit the south during
the winter months of the year,
but just you try it in July and
August.

CENSUS BULLETIN
 ON TOBACCO INDUSTRY
kn Interesting Showing of the Growth, Consumption and the Figures of Ex- ports and Imports.

The bureau of the census has just is
 sued a report on the manufacture of tobacco. prepared under the super
 vision of Mir William NJ. Steuart, chief statistician for manufactures. The
 statistics presented relate to the pro-
 duction of cigars. cigarettes, chewing and smoking tobacco. and snuff. Census statistics of tht manufacture
 of tobacco appeared first at the census of 1S10. The classifications were
 American segars.' Spanish segars.'' and tobacco and snuff No totals
 were presented for the entire country. but the returns for Pennsylvania gave total of 3.SsS.99 Spanish segars. val
 ued at S26. $50: 2eO61 900 American se- gars. valued at S4i.253; and 21S6.751
 pounds or tobacco and snuff. having a value of S410.91O For Virginia were returned 2.726.7l3 pounds of tobacco and snuff. of a value of S469 900. At the census of 1S4O. out of % states and ter
 ritories the manufacture of tobacco was reported for 2S, the total value of
 products as shown in the recapitulation
 being $5,S19.56S. of which Virginia re-
 ported s2.4O6571.
 Dt ItluillS bi tue tflANuI bA Ao-'
 were for "tobacconists:" the value of , products was reported as s1S.491.147, of
 which $5.157.652 was from Virginia: the
 number of esta tablishments in the United States was 1.41S; the capital. S5,00S .295: the number of wage-earners. 14, 29s. of
 which 1895 were females: the cost of labor. $2.icO.20S. and of materials g. 341.72S
 The enormous growth of the industry since 1850 is indicated by the fact that the value oGproducts. for the year cov- cred by the census of 1865. was S331.- 17,eS1. the capital employed being S323.- 9S3.501. In the same year the industry expended S126. .0SS. eos for materials; l S62 640. 3O3 for wages: sS.s0O,43i for sal aries: and $S0.1i5.O16 for miscellaneous expenses.
 The value Of products increased 25.6 per cent for 1905. as compared with 1900: the cost of materials. 35S per cent; and the amount paid in wages. S06 per cent. The reported capital shows an increase of 1905 per cent. , This disproportionate increase is very striking The increase, it seems. was mostly confined to the item. cash and
 surdrieS. and may be due in part tc
 some differences in the method of re-
 porting this item at the two censuses.
 But the figures seem to indicate thas
 for some reason a very large and ex-
 ceptional amount of capital was en-
 ployed ;n this industry in the year
 covered by the census of 1905 as com-
 pared with conditions five years be- fore.
 The number of wage earners em- ployed in 1905 in this industry was 159.40S: this represents the average number employed during the year and includes S5.691 men. 66.3O1 women. and 7.416 children under 16 years of age The proportion of women- comprised in the total has greatly increased in recent years. In 1880 only 211 per cent of the total number of wage-earn- CTS in this industry were women. This proportion increased to 29.S per cent in

PROMOTIONS IN THE ARMY.

We see all around us in the service today the unhappy results of the se- lection principle. Until the promotion of Lieut.. Col. Geo. Crook in 1873 to the grade of brigadier general for excep- tionally brilliant meritorious and long continued work against Indians-pro- motion by selection from juniors. was never dreamed of in our little. hard worked. but splendid and contented arm.-.
 Since the Spanish war. promotion by selection has become the custom And who selects and who are select ed?
 Is it not those whom fortune has placed under the eye of-and in per sonal contact with-the authority hav- ing the temporary power to select; the one who has the good luck to be piac- ed, at the time, where his activity, en- ergy, usefulness and fitness can inn press his deserts on the selecting pow CT?
 But in this selection when made what justice is there to those other. of equal not greater. activity ener- gy. usefulness and fitness, who are al distant posts doing their allotted duty Loyalty. without the chance of beinl seen. heard of. or known to those oi power to give prizes Army and Ma w Lie.

BIG STRAIGHTWAY AUTO RACE COURSE
Good Roads Enthusiasts Plan Worlds
 Best and Longest Raceway.

Chicago, Sept. Especial Corre- spondence of the Republican.) racing enthusiasts are chasing up and down the highways and byways of the east. north. and west. hunting for a suitable course over which to hold events of Vanderbilt cup importance. word comes from Texas that nature has equipped a speedway which needs very little artificial help. and that the natives of the Lone Star state are not only willing but anxious to get busy on the finest and longest straightaway in the world. Seventy miles of beach be- tween Galveston and Port Arthur fur nishes a course which would open the eyes of eastern automobile experts says sam Park of Beaumont and Mir. Park. being president of the Beaumont Good Roads association. knows where of he speaks.
 This week Mir. Park dropped into the Chicago salesrooms of the White com pany. and before he left placed an or der for two model c White steamers of the 1908 vintage. and left instructions that they be equipped with Pullman bodies and about every accessory which would add to the comfort, con- venience or speed of the driver or oc- cupant.
 The automobile" said Mir. Park to Manager Urquhart. who sold the vis- itor the two steamers. "has been an important factor in inspiring Texans to look after their roads. and. to tell You the truth. Texas will soon have the finest roads in the country. We have law which permits the issuing of bonds without waiting for an election, and the Beaumont Good Roads asso- citation. cf which I have the honor of being president. is doing considerable for the cause. We already have forty miles of hard roads made of clam and oyster shells. leading from Beaumont to Port Arthur. directly past the win ter residence of John w. Gates.
 Furthermore. We are planning to open d racing course seventy miles in length and straight as a string be- tween Port Arthur and Galveston. and if that does not bring high class auto mobile racing in our direction, what's the use?"

and hiddenite, from California; and the beryls from California. Colorado. North Carolina, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. The rubies were reported as scattered finds from North Carolina and Idaho.
 The value of the diamonds in place, discovered in Arkansas in the latter part of the year. is not included in the statistical part of MT. Sterrett's report. but a history of the discovery and a ence, pmrepared by Messrs. George F.
 kunZ and Henry s. Washington. is appended thereto.
 Each year there is an unrecorded pro- duction of pearls from fresh- water ! mussels of many rivers of the United States. principally from the Mississippi valley region. and pearls have also been found along the Atlantic and Gulf coast states from Maine to Texas. The American pearls vary so greatly in col or and tint that it is difficult to ex- actly match a nGmber of them for necklaces and other jewelry On the other hand, the exquisite color and fine luster of our pearls more and more off, sets the disadvantages of such irregu- larities and makes them much desired in the, gem market.
 The pearl industry is carried on in such way that it is not possible to ! collect statistics of production. but one of the largest pearl dealers in the Mississippi valley estimates the value Of pearls and slugs produced in 1906 at SSSl 900, with prices ranging from S1 to 5000 each for the naarls and S1 5O to Ss0 an ounce for the slugs. An es- timate by the United States fish com mission places the value of pearls pro- duced in the United States in 1906 at about S500.000.
