Negro Field Hand Doomed.

During the century which embraces
the most important period Of the cot.
ton industry in America many invent.
ors have sought to perfect a cotton har-
yester More than four hundred in
ventors have felt themselves 50 near
to the solution OF the problem that
they have secured patents from the
United States patent office.
Many Of these machines have been
taken to the cotton fields for practical
tests. Usually the machines wobbled
over few rows OF cotton, picked a
few locks. tore OF the flowers and un.
Opened bolls and left trail Of lint
on the ground. The trails have been
so many and the failures so unanimous
that cotton planters long ago lost faith
in the machines and refuse to allow them
in the field
Recently one Of these cotton harvester
inventors visited tie farm OF John NJ
Rhoads near Vernon, Texas, with a re-
quest TO try his cotton picker on Mr.
Rhoads' crop. Mr. Rhoads had previous
knowledge Of cotton pickers and be-
lieved, like most other planters, that a
negro il the only successful cotton pick

The success Of this machine is best
told by Mr.. Rhoads himself In let

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Tonight, "The Old Homestead" at the
Barre Opera House.


Denman Thompson's "Old Homestead
is to be seen here Monday, January 23.
What would be the season without il?
What train Of thought the name, The
Old Homestead" seems TO set a-going.
For many OF US Of the present genera.
tion our first experience at the theatre
was in witnessing "The Old Homestead"
We were taken to see this charming play
in our childhood days because it was
known and talked about in church and
Sunday school circles as being one of
the very few dramas that could be
witnessed with perfect safety to the
morals OF the young. And as the years
multiply, the old play seems to lose
none OF the brightness and freshness Of
the early days. On the contrary, age
seems to have mellowed it. Uncle Josh
is heartily welcome here, and so are all
the other friends whom we seem to mum
Der among our personal acquaintance
Aunt Matilda, Cy Prime, Seth Perkins,
Happy Jack, sauey Riekety Ann, stupid
Eb Ganzey, the country fiddlers, and
Ann Maria Murdoch, the prime one.
They will all be on hand with all their
quaint characteristics not overlooking
also the famous qmrtette of farm
hands, which will be heard in some new
numbers and some OF the old fayorites.

Moving Pictures In the Making-Inter-

The life OF the expert moving picture
! photographer is so crowded with travel,
| adventure, and incidents that many peo-
pie envy what they consider such a
pleasant and interesting vocation "But
it is frequently more interesting than
it is pleasant" is the assurance given
by Mr. Lyman H. Howe. who will pre-
sent an entirely new program at the
opera house on next Thursday night.
The motion picture photographer is
subject to responsibilities, trials and
tribnlations which none but he can real

world to get picture naturally would
like him to get it. But on more than
one occasion, after being gone from civil
lzatlon for months at time and carry

negative Aim, etc, for many weary
weeks, photographer has returned
practically empty handed said Mr..
Howe. EITHER climatic or atmospheric
conditions made it impossible TO photo
graph the particular incident at the
crucial moment, or his native servants
deserted him and he had to choose be-
tween leaving an his paraphernalia be-
hind OF losing his life. Obstacles seem

ISLAND
DOCK SYSTEM
Com. Tomkins Plans for
String of Piers

Tentative plans for a $50, 00O,0 900
municipal dock system at Staten ISL
and have been prepared by Calvin
TomDkins, head of Department of
Docks and Ferries. 1t is the first
proposed for Richmond borough, and
it Is said that the borough will stand
up unitedly for the project. Mr..
Cromwell, Richmond borough presi-
dent, has expressed himself in favor
Of the undertaking.
The plan is to line the north shore
of Staten Island with municipal
docks from the municipal ferry land
ing at st. George as far west as Fort
W~adsworth. The main idea is to
use the docks for freight, though
there is nothing in the plans that
will prevent the establishment of
embarking and landing places for
coastwise or ocean-going passengers.
The city will not have an opportu-
nifty to give railroads in general
land-access to the proposed Staten
Island docks, inasmuch as the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad embraces
the railroad approaches to the docks.
This is the trunk line that operates
the Staten Island Rapid Transit
lines. On the water side, any rail
road may reach the docks with its
floats, and the idea is to give every
shipper and shipping concern and
transportation company an equal
chance to make use of the docks.
The United States government
lighthouse station at st. George is
the only physical obstacle to the
carrying out of the dock plans. The
federal reservation now occupies the
shore frontage just east of the mu-
nicipal ferry landing. The light
house folks say they are cramped for
room and would be glad to move; so
no opposition is expected to a sale
of the land to the city when the pro-
per time comes.
The Staten Island dock plan Is a
proposed final step in Commissioner
Tompkins's comprehensive scheme
for municipal docks and connecting
freight transshipping railroads along
the frontage of New York harbor.
The total cost would considerably
exceed, it is estimated, 500, 900 900.
This amount, the commissioner says,
would be in no sense a burden to be
added to the taxpayers shoulder
load, for the reason that the docks
will be self-supporting, and probably
will produce a profit on their opera
ton.
The commissioner says he wants
to run municipal ferryboats between
Thirty-ninth street in South Brook
Ign and Staten Island. Also he plans
recreation piers for South Brooklyn
and a ferry to New York from Baird
street, Red Hook.

The final meeting of the Rich

Early in the morning those who
have agreed to lend their automo-
biles will visit the schools in the
fifth ward of the borough, pick up
the children and assemble at Wash
ington Park, Stapleton. From there
they will go to st. George, where at
II o'clock they will participate In
the opening of the new viaduct at
the municipal ferry for automobiles
and wagons. Borough President
Cromwell and Dock Commissioner
Calvin Tomkins are to greet the au-
tomobilists and children, the former
making a short address. From there
the machines will go direct to the
club house and grounds, where
music, refreshments, athletic games
and a singing contest will keep the
grownups going all afternoon.
A few more automobiles are need
ed for the day and those who can
spare them are requested to notify
Chauncey E. Goodrich, the clubs
secretary, at Great Kills, at once.
