A DEED AND A WORD.
A little stream had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern.
A passing stranger scooped we'll,
Where weary men might turn.
He walled it In and hung with care
A ladle at the brink;
He thought not Of the deed he did.
But judged that all might drink.
He passed again, and. 10, the well,
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parchin8

And saved q life beside.
A nameless man amid a crowd
That thronged the daily mart
Let fall word Of hope and love.
Unstudied, from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown.
A transitory breath,
It raised a brother from the dust.
1t saved a soul from death.
O germ, O fount, O word Of love.
o thought at random cast,
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last!

ON HATCHER

The most appreciated and the most

even il the discovery that you are
being complimented does prove en-
barassing to the giver of itThis Is just
what happened in The Herald ONCE
this morning, and 1t happened this
way:
e. H. Hatcher, one of the papers
best friends, strolled into the office
with a copy of one Of the leading
country weeklies of the state. Ad-
dressing the editor, he said: Il want
to read you one of the strongest, most
sensible and best written editorials
that have seen on the issues of this
campaign" With this introduction
Mr.. Hatcher proceeded to read the
editorial in question. The editor lis
tened patiently. but all the time the
conviction was growing upon him that
the editorial sounded strangely ia

II was soon explained, for when Mr..

article he read columbia Herald"

HARTMAN CAN'T
VOTE HIS STOCK

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL
ELECTION.

CHICAGO, Oct 15.-E. II. Hartman
was today by an order of court de
prived OF the voting power Of 2S6,Isl
shares Of Illinois Central stock In the
annual meeting Of that railroad com
pany, which opens at noon tomorrow.
The order of the court was practi-
cally identical with the modification
asked by the attorneys for Mr.. Harri-
man. Both sides claim a victory, Mr..
Fish because the enjoined shares VIII
not be effective at the election, and
Mr.. Hartman because his modifica-
ton was secured.
The shares of stock ruled out are
those held by the Union Pacific Rail-
way Company, the Railroad Securi-
ties Company of New Jersey, and the
Mutual Life Insurance Company Of
New York, against which temporary
injunction was issued by Judge Ball
in the Superior Court. Mr.. Fish yes
terday asked that the voting Of these
shares be enJolned.
The court today, after extensive ar
gument by the attorneys of both sides,
modified the injunction by permitting
the shares to be voted under the con-
dition that il any of these shares
should have a decisive effect on any
vote taken the entire vote is then to
be null and void. In other words, Mr..
Fish is given by the court an advan-
tage of 2S6,731 votes, and in order to
defeat him on any motion Of resolu-
ton which comes before the annual
meeting, Mr.. Hartman and his friends
must cast 2S6,732 votes more than are
east by Mr.. Fish and his followers.

ton within the next ten days, and
work is progressing rapidly on the
new plant of the Blue Grass Phos-

The old Tennessee Phosphate Co.,

number of years ago, has com
pletely rebuilt its plant there, includ-

out the large amount of high grade
rock which was run over and wasted
in the previous mining operations.
This recalls the statement made years
ago by prominent phosphate man Of
this place, that the time would come
when all the dumps of dirt left after
mining at that time would be gone
over again; that phosphate rock was
entirely too valuable to be wasted as
was then being done.

railroad line from Ashwood into that
section. The present railroad line
from Ashwood is not a public carrier,
and it is understood that the owners
thereof are not willing to haul rock
for these other parties, consequently

Mrs. NJ. G. Frierson has erected a new
row of tenement houses beyond Jones
boro, which will be occupied by EN-
ployees of the Blue Grass Phosphate
Co.
The fellow that said the phosphate
city" would go to the damnation bow
vows after the saloons were closed out
of business, certainly missed his
guess, for never has the town beer
more prosperous, business livelier OF
conditions better A drunken man is
now a rarity, and 1t is very motto
able fact here on Saturdays when the
miners and country people are In
town by the thousands that there is nc
drunkenness or rowdyism and the po
lice have no trouble in preserving
order. Many of those who were reg
ular topers and got on regular Satur-
| day afternoon DRINKS and gave the
officers no end of trouble are now be-
having in most excellent manner,
and several of this class have stated
to the writer that they are delighted
that the saloons are gone. Naturally
there has been some effort on the
part of several negroes to wildcat
liquor here, but the town has some
very alert officers, backed up by a
determined city council, and the wild
cater stands poor chance here to
continue his low-down business very
long before he is caught and sent over
the road
The writer has not made canvas
among the merchants to ascertain the
condition of their business since the
saloons closed, for such is altogether
unnecessary, as the increase in the
stocks of goods carried, the fact that
there is not vacant business house.
Office or dwelling in the town and the
further fact that improvements OF
every description are being made
around homes and stores is evidence
sufficient that no liquor is blessing
to this town and community, includ-
ing the great phosphate industry,
which some very foolishly claimed
would be injured by the removal OF
saloons.
The members of the Christian
church have purchased lot on Locust
street near Hay Long avenue and ex-
pect to erect a house of worship in
the near future.

While things are moving along at a
