Large quantities of summer apples, blackberries, raspberrles, etc, are being sent out from here by express. Some very good apples are being brought in, and for the best local buyers are pay ing 25 cents per third bushel box T here IS little demand for the poorer grade of apples. The price for Red Raspberries is down to S1 25 per half crate, but during most of the season the price has ranged from S1.5o to Sl.7o per half crate. Blaekberries are down to S1.00 per crate.

l22 billions. The passenger re-
venue per passenger mile, which
in 1883 was 2.49 cents, in 1898 had
decreased to 1878 cents and in 1908
to l 933 cents. In the decade from
1883 to 1898 there was decrease
in freight revenue from 10 cent
per mile to 0.753 cent, at which
latter figure it also stood in 1908.
Very significant of the growth
of our railroads is the great in
crease in the number and weight
oflocomotives and cars. Ten years
ago, the total number of locomo-
tives was 36,234. During the last
decade there has been an increase
of SIT per cent to a total of 81 ,l56
locomotives. Even more remark
able has been the increase of 1853
per cent in the total weight of the
locomotives. The number of pas
senger cars has increased from
33 ,595 to 44,623. The number of
freight cars has risen from 1,248,-
S26 to 2,130,11Q, an increase of
over 70 per cent, but their capacity
has increased over l20 per cent,
from over 100000 tons to over
100000 tons. In 1898 the total
number of employees was 874,558.
Last year the total was l, ,451 900.
an increase in the ten years of over
67 per cent. During the year there
was paid out in compensation to

increase of 1l0 per cent over the
amount SO paid cut in 1898.

OUR RAILWAY SYSTEM.
[Scientitic American

In view of the fact that the well
fare of the country is so intimately
related to the vast system of rail-
ways with which it is covered, the
annual statistics of our railways,
and com parison Of these with the
records of early years, are of never
failing interest. We have before
us the railway statistics of this
country as prepared by Mr.. Slason
Thompson, of the Bureau of Rail
way News and Statistics, in which
the standing of our railways for
the year 1908 is compared with
their condition in the two previ-
Gus decades.
At the close of the fiscal year
1908, the total number of miles of
lines in the United States was $780,
UUU, as compared with l0o,oo0 IN
1883 and 4,646 in 1898. The net
capitalization. Is S13,000,007, ,012,
an increase of 1913 per cent over
the figures of 1898. The gross earn
ings for 1908 of SO, ,448, 1886, 900 were
nearly double those of 1898. Ten
years ago, the total number of pas
sengers carried one mile was about
1873 billions. In ten years time
this has increased over 120 per
cent, reaching a total of 29.5 bill
lions. A marked increase has taken
place in freight traffic; for where
as the number of tons of freight
carried one mile in 1898 was over

at, and that incidentally establish
ed his own reputation for efficiency
and fearlessness.
SO that it was the most natural
thing in the world for the law-lov-
ing people of Davidson County to
elect McCarn prosecuting attorney
in 1908, and SO it was not at all
surprising to those who knew him
and his history that when on the
very threshold of his Office he was
confronted with the grave duty of
prosecuting probably the most i'm
portant criminal case In the histo-
ry of the State, he met the full re-
sponsibility of his office with con-
summate skill and ability.
Certainly the success of such a
man as this is not an incident.
General McCarn is the product of
industry, ability and integrity, and
if these qualities have distinguish
ed him as a prosecuting attorney,
may they not likewise distinguish
him as the chief executive of the
State, if the people in their wis
dom shall see fit to call upon him
to fill that exalted position?
The sheep herder for Governor
looks good to the Enterprise.

Figures such as these tell most
eloquently the story of the phe-
nomenal development of the coun-
try during the past decade. That
the prosperity OF the railroads is
intimately associated with that of
the whole country is proved by the
fact that in the twelve months that
followed the panic, the railways
suffered loss of over $3.50, 100000
in gross earnings.

THE TENNESSEE MULE.

The fame of the Tennessee mule
extends all the way around the
earth and back again. His aver
age value is more than any of his
kinsmen from other States. There
we're some 295, 5,130 of these impor-
tant citizens in Tennessee last year
SO it is evident that this hybrid is
today one of Tennessee's most
fruitful sources of revenue.
Recognizing the mules stand
ing as a revenue producer, the
State Fair has paid great deal of
attention to mules and jack stock,
offering liberal premiums in every
class. The result last year was the
greatestshow of long-eared animals
ever gotten together at any fair.
The department was in charge
of Mr.. j. l.. Jones of Columbia,
the man who made success of the
mule and jack show at theSt. Louis
Worlds Fair. This yeari it in plan
ned to make this feature even more
than it has been here
tofore.

'ulnS hoteiWofUny, we are TOO apt
to ascribe it to chance or luck
without stopping to scrutinize the
action and to ascertain that the
accomplishment that specifically
appears to be accidental is the nat
yural and logical result of perhaps
years of constant labor and effort.
Success is not usually an acci-
dent, and while there are as many
kinds of success as there are fields
human endeavor, yet it also is gov
erned by the laws of cause and ef-
feet, and comes only as the reward
OF merit, as trophy wrought and
won in the bitter-sweet strife of
competition. This is theonly kind
of success that is worth while, and
it comes only to those who deserve
to win.
Away back yonder in the troub-
lesome days Immediately following
the war, on a small farm in Arkan-
sas, was born a child whose life
affords a concrete illustration of
this Just one of many illustrations
that American manhood Affords
for there is, happily, no royal iso-
lation about success. This boy
was born to poverty, and while
still youth he became cowboy
on the Texas plains, being for
months at a time alone with his
herds. He was out of communi-
cation with the world, and his in
centives had to come from within;
and it was they alone that prompt
ed him one day to ride into town,
sell his horse and gather together
his belongings Every few, too) and
travel hundreds of miles from his
own country.
Thus it was that Jeff McCarn
came to Vanderbilt University.
He desired better chance to do
something in the world-and it
was his own native pluck and con-
fdence in himself that made the
chance! There are many who re-
member him when he came totem
nessee and to Nashville seeking an
education. He wore a sombrero
and had the mustache-a trif1e less
drooping-that he now has, and
was older than the average fresh
man. He had but little more edu-
cation than money; but it was his
idea that failure consists in giving
up, and not in succeeding, and he
had determined to get along some
how or other. That was why he
had sold his horse, and had come
to Tennessee. He was not prepar-
ed for college, and SO he never got
his academic degree, but he spent
four undergraduate years to prob
ably better purpose than any stu
dent in his class, and unlike most
other students, he paid for his own
and contributed to the
support of his widowed mother
and younger brothers. He had a
faculty for getting along, and he
sold stationery and supplies to the
students duning the school months,
and family Bibles and albums to
the farmers during vacations; and
he made fair living, and the rep
utation of being the wittiest man
in college.
And then he studied law and
with his class, and mar-
ried and settled down to serious
work of life. His chance came six
,r seven years ago, when a secret
committee of citizens was formed
% rid Nashville of gambling and
he Sunday whisky selling. They
leeded someone to execute their
purposes who should not work in

Carolina Langdon bore herself better
than was to have been expected under
the strain of the painful interview.
She saw more clearly now how she had
erred. She was undergoing an inward
revolution that would make it impos-
sible for her ever again to veer so far
from the line of duty to her father, her
family and to herself.
