BADLY MADE COUNTERFEIT
WILL NOT FOOL MANY.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-There Is a
new counterfeit $40 national bank note
at large, but it is not likely to deceive
an ordinarily careful handler of money.
The treasury department issued q note
of warning yesterday. 1t Is a poorly
executed photo-etched production,
printed on two bits of paper, with a
few pieces of silk thread distributed in
it. 1t is drawn on the Home National
Bank, of Staunton. Tex, series of
1902-190S. check letter d.
The note, a sample OF which was sent
to the secret service here by Cashier
r.. G. Erwin, of the First National
Bank, of Ballinger, Tex. is supposed
to be the work of the same counter
feiters hat recently produced a S.
Carlsbad, n. M. national bank note.

ORDERED TO
APPEAR BEFORE
R. R. COMMISSION
Commuters on Newark Branch
Demand More Trains Between
This City and Paterson.

On a complaint made by Bilder &
Bilder. lawyers, of this city, represent
ing citizens of Newark and Paterson,
charging Inadequate service on the Erie
railroad between Newark and Pater-
son, the Public Service Commission has
ordered the Erie Railroad Company to
appear before it on Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock, at the State House, Tren-
ton, for a hearing on the question as
to whether the company shall operate
more trains on the Newark branch be-
tween Newark and Paterson.
Al a hearing on this same question
last winter the company declared that
it was impossible for It to run more
trains. stating that the tunnel was al
ready taxed to its capacity, and that
as soon as the new cut was finished
new trains would be added.
The Public Service Commission was
satisfied with this explanation, but now
thar the cut has been open for some
time and no trains added, Bilder &
Bilder have again taken up the matter
with the commission, and hope that at
the hearing on Tuesday the railroad
company will be made to add new
trains
At present the morning trains from
Newark to Paterson are Cos. 7;15. 10:11
and 1910, ana the rains to Newark
are 9 a. M, 11:34 and LOS p. IN.
At the hearing last winter the Erie
officials advised the use of the trolley
cars, but those who travel between the
Two cities saw that the trOlleVs are too
slow and that too much time is wasted
riding in them.
1t is the contention of the citizens Of
the two cities that the progress of both
cities is retarded by the poor train
service and that business men are
greatly inconvenienced by ii.

APPLE CROP Is ENORMOUS
DOWN IN VIRGINIA.
Southern Railway Reports
Bumper Crop This Year.

Richmond, Va, October 24.-Re-
ports received by freight traffic Off
cfals of the Southern Railway here in.
dictate that shipments of apples from
points along its lines in Virginia will
at least daIble last years shipments
When 47737 barrels were handled
from stations along its main line, run
ming through Piedmont Virginia, aud
49,049 barrels from stations on the
Harrisonburg, Manassas and Blue
mont branches, lying mainly in the
Shenandoah valley.
The apple growing industry has
now reached a high state in Virginia
and through the productivity of its
orchards and the excellent reputation
which its fruit enjoys, Virginia is
reaping hundreds of thousand of dol
lars annually.
In many cases growers are making
from $4,000 to $4,000 per acre IN
nually, and as a result there has been
9 great increase in TIE value of fruit
lands, particularly in the Valley /. f
Virginia, where growing apples for
market is comparatively new indus
try. One grower in this section from
a ten-acre orchard gathered 1850 bar-
rels, which he sold at prices averag
ing above three dollars per barrel.
TIE demand for the Virginia appl IS
is so great that the buyers. come to
the orchards, crops being frequently
sod on the trees. This year buyers
were on the ground from all parts OF
the country.

.OLDVETS IN FAVOR
KEEPING CAMPS UP
By Bringing in Sons as
Honorary Members.
In Tbs Way the Memories Of The
South Will Be Preserved and Its
History Kept Alive as it Should
Be Done in This Section.

The old vets of Sumter Camp gen
orally, perhaps even unanimously, IA
vor the suggestion that the life of the
camps be prolonged by the admission
into them as honorary members, of the
sons of veterans
Forty-five years have passed since
the war closed and the inevitable dis
solution Of the camps cannot ibe de-
ferrei many years unless some sues
policy as this is pursued. Each year
finds considerable decrease in the
membership of the camps. Sumter
camp in the past year or two has lost
some of it's most enthusiastic mem
bers. Death is making heavy inroa Is
on the membership and the roll call
is getting pitifully smaller every
twelve months.
1t is felt that it is not wei that
the camps should be dissolved in this
way within the next few years. Tlo5e
who survive another five or ten years
will, in the course OF nature, be yesy
old and decrepit men, unable to keep
up meetings, unable, except i'll rare
instances, to attend reunions. 1t IS
their earnest desire that the camp
fires be kept lighted, that tie precious
memories and records of each camp
be protected and preserved, and the
only solution of this, it is pointed out,
lies in the admission of the sons OF
vets as honorary members, to take
up the work and carry on the camps
at least for several decades to come.
Tire proposition seems to be meet
ing with an enthusiastic favor. At the
next general gathering of the vets
of the South the organic law of tae
association may be altered so as tc
permit of this. If tLfs is done Sum
ter camp will not pass into a matter
of memory, but will be kept alive BY
the sons of the present members anC
those who have passed away.
