FoRAKER's FEARS UNFoUNDED.
Railroad Magnates Not at All Worried
 About Commodity Clause.

Railroad Magnates Not at All Worried
 About Commodity Clause.
 New York Press.
 Senator Foraker is indulGing In ev- cessive worry over the business out look as he sees 1t. The industrial de- precision, he says. Is caused by unwise legislation which already has been &C., complished and by more which is in prospect.
 As an example of the former kind he mentions the commodity clause of the Hepburn act, which, he thinks, is alone sufficient to prevent any return of prosperity for years to come"
 But the railroads which own and operate coal mines-and that Iegisla- tion affects them--do not seem to show the concern over the matter that Senator Foraker nourishes. All of them disregard it and some of them laugh at it. In the first place, the De- partment of Justice Is not hot on that trail. In the second, if the Attorney General were sparing no effort to try to enfore the law, they think they could beat him in the courts. Tn the last. if the courts should sustain the clause. the coal-owning railroads feel very sure that they could get around the law even more easily than those who were stopped from being a North ern Securities Company, but who have been going as separate corporations of the same people and management, doing the same thing as they were ordered by the courts not to do as a single whole.
 Coal properties now owned and operated by a railroad would not be in a different position from the pres ent. so far as practical results are concerned, if they should be turned over to another company representing the same interests and the same Indi- viduals as the railroad itself.
 There is one railroad which could meet the dilemma in some such fash ion as this: It has a surplus which. distributed among it's stockholders. would permit them to buy and own the coal mines, paying the distributed surplus back into the treasury of inc road for the coal properties which thev would acquire from their transporta- ton company.

Phenix City is claiming the credit of growing the largest tomato yet reported; not a potatomato but just plain "tomarto," as some good people call them. It is seventeen inches in circumference. three inches thick and weighs two and half pounds. Until we hear from the other rural districts we must award the chromo to Phenix on the Chattahoochee.

Mayo hospital at Rochester, Mimi,
for cancer OF the stomach.
MIR. Patrick had been ailing for
some time and finding his condition
growing worse, decided to make the
trip tc Minnesota, hoping to find re-
lief II necessary through the agency
OF the surgeons knife as a last re-
sort. However, all efforts to save
his life proved unavailing and the
bar was crossed early Tuesday morn

Much in the nature of eulogy and
Tribute could be paid the dead, but
1t would hardly serve to impress
more deeply on the hearts of his
i4ehus and ac%quaintances, the sterl.
ing worth of the rugged pioneer, who
mas been called away. He erected
MS own monument-tho term Of
years he spent on earth. There car
be none more fitting.
The early portion Of Mr.. Patrick's
life was spent IN New York, his natal

Another device of Mr.. Barber's
creation is a distributing case IN
