His Real CaIllnu.

There is writer in New York who
has achieved little success, but who,
being amply supplied with worldly
goods, refuses to be discouraged. So
he keeps turning out books the merits
OF which he earnestly attests by word
or mouth and heavy purchases from
the publishers. He is a long time
friend of Simeon Ford, boniface, wit
and philosopher. That Mr.. Ford is
the only one who ever read all of his
friends books probably furnishes a
reason why the attentuated hotel man
is one of the most solemn looking Of
humans.
They were at dinner recently when
the author said: "Sim, you've been
aWfully kind to me-you are my real
audience, for you've suffered like a
friend and read all ] have written.
Sometimes think that have made a
great mistake and l am not really an
author after ALL"
Il think you're right" assented Mr..
Ford. You're born chemist"
'How's that?" suspiciously asked
the author.
Well" remarked Simeon. every
book you write becomes drug on the
market"

HONOR RESTED WITH AUTHOR
How the Late Popular Writer, o.
Henry, Outwltted INSCRIPTIONS
Editor.

A friend Of the late o. Henry writes
OF him: He was reckless in spending
money, and frequently gave elevator
boys and bellboys So and $40 notes.
But he wasn't easy despite his finan-
cial regardlessness. His friends mar
rated an incident showing the mans
5hrewdness. A magazine noted for
SLOW pay they say, contracted with
him for three-part story, for which
he was to receive fifteen hundred dol
lars. He got a five hundred dollar ad-
vance before starting to work, and
when he turned in the second install
ment (none OF 1t had been printed
yeti got five hundred dollars more,
and asked for tie third five hundred
dollars as an advance before finishing
the tale. The editor, in an effort to
save money, apparently, declared that,
after all, the story didn't appear to be
worth more than one thousand dol
lars-this when he had the two in
stallments IN his Office. All right
said o. Henry. L won't write the
third one then And he didn't. He
laughed at the editor. Well then
said the latter, I'll run the two parts
and then let our readers lave a guess
ing contest as TO how the story ends
and put up, perhaps, a five hundred
prize to the winner For a moment
the author thought he was outwitted.
Then he said Go ahead-and I'll win
the prize He intended to win IL, too"

IRON PARTICLES FROM GRAIN
Extracted by Ingenious Electrical
Continuance, Thereby Removing
Danger Of Explosion.

One of the serious dangers which
flour mills and breweries have to
guard against is the explosion of dust
particles In the grinding rolls by rea-
son OF friction from particles OF iron
picked up by the grain from freight
cars, etc, in transit. Magnetism has
long been employed for the removal
OF these particle, but an Indiana con-
Germ has developed a method which
has operated with signal success. The
grain is made to flow across line OF
electromagnetic, each separator being
about six feet wide, and passes from
500 10 1000 bushels an hour. After

Enthusiastically four and a half
out OF every Ave pounds of coffee
trunk In the United States comes from
Brazil. and the proportion is growing
steadily higher. principally because
the Brazilian bean is OF a superior
quality and flavor. The generality
OF coffee drinkers have hazy idea
mat Mocha" and JAVA" enter largely
into the morning beverage, but it is q
tact that all the Mocha and Java that
reach this country in a year would not
supply st. Louis for six months.
1t Is generally known and under
STOOD that the greater proportion of
hne Brazilian coffee comes from the
state of Sac Paulo in that country, and
the statement that Sac Paulo, the
richest state in the Brazilian Union.
Ia "one vast coffee estate" has been
made SO frequently that the general
impression has gone abroad that little
else but coffee is produced in the
state. 1t is true that Sac Paulo alone.
last year, produced 1,716,000 900
pounds Of coffee that had a value of
$140.000,000. and that this vast ag-
gregate found it's way outward
through the greatest coffee port In the
world, Santos; but 1t is also true that
Sac Paulo has host of other indus
tries that are developing at a rate
that is astonishing. 1t is in Sac Paulo
that the great wheat growing conces-
sions have been granted: it is from
Sac Paulo that the enormous ship
ments to Europe of live cattle will be
made; 1t IS Sac Paulo that now main
tains three hundred factories engaged
Ceredo advance. [volume] (Ceredo, W. Va.) 1885-1939, 1910-07-13

In truly remarkable array Of indus
tries. These factories alone represent
an investment OF over $4o,o00,o00 AND
are employing $4,000 workmen.
1t is true that coffee is the staple,
but these factories are turning out cot
ton and wooden fabrics; they are ma
king rope, twines and papers. There
are breweries, marble quarries. metal
industries Of various natures; vast es-
tates that are devoted to the culture
OF rice, and square miles of territory
that produce enormous quantities Of
fruits that are shipped In all direc-
tons. Sac Paulo has gone extensively
into grape culture, and is turning out
wines that are becoming vastly popu-
lar in several countries. Agriculture
of a general nature has engaged the
attention Of the residents of the state
to greater degree In the last few
years, and as consequence the rail-
ways are extending in every direction
throughout the state. AS an indica,
ton of the volume of business trans,
acter through the port OF Santos it
last year reached grand total of five
and half million tons, which com
pares very favorably with the trade
of Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Ayres, the
two largest South American ports.
In great measure this progress is
due to the far-sighted and patriotic
efforts OF those statesmen who have
directed the destinies of the state, and
1t has been recently stated by a South
American historian that the history of
the State of Sac Paulo was the history
OF all Brazil.

Have a State Convention? Yes, of
course. If the Democratic party be-
lieves anything, stands for anything.
1T should let the voters know what
and where. Old things are passing
away, and all things are becoming
new-new questions, new issues
old ones to be Overhauled and half
soled. OF course, have a rousing con-
vention, but let it be representa-
tive convention of the people-the
best of the people. Let each precinct
send its best men as delegates to
county convention to name the best
of these as delegates to a State con-
vention. Have a convention, to meet
in some central city, and let this
convention write it's creed, plainly
and proudly, and proclaim it to the
people.

NO MORE GERRYMANDERING

We agree with the Richmond Jour
nal that there should be no more
gerrymandering of Congressional Dis
tricts in this State, and the Ninth
district should be left to work out it's
own political SALVATION, which it will
do if left in its present shape and no
dismemberment of any of its coun-
ties, SO as to leave it hopelessly re-
publican, as is proposed by some de-
signing politicians for selfish ends.
We are suffering now from defeat by
reason of Craig county being taken
from the Ninth. Had it remained,
Henry G.. Stuart would be elected to
the 62nd Congress beyond all doubt
The Ninth district was made a cats
paw in trying to make the Fifth
Democratic, the designers succeeded
by taking out Craig to loose to the
democrats in the Ninth. A short
sighted proposition it was. And the
Ninth is only lost by 227 votes and
it is proposed to take out Giles,
Bland, Pulaski and Wythe and give
to the Ninth, Grayson and Carroll,
which in the last election gave 1900

it is and in due time the continued
increase the next time we will surely
