SPECULATION
AS to the State Of Senator Proctor's
Health.

Rutland, July 30.--Senator Redfeld
Proctor il in poor health this summer;
50 paor, IN fact, that some politicians
are speeulating on the possibility that
he may not again take his seat in the
United States Senate. Senator Proctor
is now 76 years old, has lived life
full of hard work and strenuous effort
has been in public life for 40 years, and
1t is not surprising that he should be
breaking down, especially since he has
never been a strong man physically.
Something over q year ago the sen
ator suffered a severe attack, which his
family professed to regard lightly, but
which many people believed to have
been slight shock. His hack of activ-
ity in the campaign Of 1906, when his
son was candidate for governor, op-
posed BY combination OF independent
Republicans and Democrats, and his
comparative and unusual quietness duf.
ing the latest session of Congress. have
lent confirmation to the idea of those
who believe the senator is breaking in
health.

Summerinr in vermont.

However that may be, It il well
known that the senator Is not in good
health this summer. After the adjourn
ment Of Congress he went to Atlantic
City, accompanied by Mrs. +. d. Proc
tor, his daughter-in. and passed
most of his time sthere in an invalid
wheel chair on the board walk From
there he went back 10 Washington and
remained in bed most of the time till
he left that city.
Since he returned 20 Vermont he has
been under the care Of DR., G. S. Caverly
Of this city, president Of the state
board Of health, and has passed most
OF the summer at his camp on Mt. pico,
by the side of Lake Pico, where he
owns large reservation. The senator
makes an occasional trip to the city in
an automobile, and his physical appear.
auce Is not such as 10 cause alarm
among his friends but his failure to
make his usual fishing trip to Canada
and his absence from such public af-
fairs as the annual meeting Of the Mt.
Mansfield Trout club lead up to the
strong belief that his physical powers
are suffering serious decline.

l5 Cent Cotton.

The expected is happening.
 Cotton is going to 15 cents, and that before the holidays. This is the calm judgment of men who have most to do with the cotton market.
 The holiday movement has sur prised the world by ts extent.
 Warehouses all over the cotton belt are bursting with their stor- ed bales.
 Farmers have resolutely held on to their product, and now they are in position where they can demand their own price and get it.
 Their position is vindicated notwithstanding the bear con. spiracy and all the capitalistic methods undertaken to over come it.--Little Rock Democrat.

 One of Prescott s most charm ing young ladies took us little bit to task last night because About Town" had failed to re- fer to her. While we must con fess that there is no pleasuse that could possibly equal the one of pleasing her, we are afraid that, from the fact that About Town is devoted more exclusively to catching somebody in a snap, and her conception of the right thing being soacute, we will be forced to manufacture something if she IS accommodated.
 One of Prescott's WardMcAlis- terS was greeted by a friend this morning and asked;
 What kind of time did you have last night, -"
 What the do you know about it?"
 Oh, nothing I am just asking you"
