 The price of cotton is very gratify- ing to all citizens, and the yield is better than was expected. There is no reason, therefore, that we can imagine, why times should not be good and trade brisk from now on Talk of hard times does the county more harm than even the scarcity of money, because money is timid, and if the owners of money talk and hear hard times talk so much, they finally begin to believe times are hard, and put their money out of circulation, and this makes times hard sure enough. Talk prosperity, if you would prosper.

 MT. and Mrs. Bob Sellers and their children visited the new home of MT. and Mrs. T. A. buford last Sunday. While viewing the place their little son, Raymond, picked up handful of i.penny nails and carried them home with him. Shortly afterwards Ray mond came excitedly to his parents with the information that he had swallowed one of the nails. Drs. Bo- gart and Rush were summoned imme- diately by the distressed and distrac- ted parents, but nothing could be done, and the family lived in suspense until Wednesday, when the youngster passed the nail without any evil eff. fects. This circumstance should prove a lesson to parents with small children and cause them to bear in mind that the children cannot be too closely and constantly watched.

to floor the hall Of his home anG to panel
his library. and one great room will be en-
tirely fitted with wood from the ship tim
bers II will be known as the "gunboat
room" The timber is so hard that 1t took
three men a month to take out the great
hand forged headess nails. The timber
will be taken from the Eckenroth yards to
tine woodworking plant OF Sherwin & Co,

ASKS SUBWAY INJUNCTI0NS
Untermyer Declares Contracts
Violate Constitution.

Arguments on the subway injunction
cases were heard yesterday afternoon by
Justice Blackmar. Of the Supreme Court
Brooklyn. The three proceedings were
brought by John r. Ryon, the Admiral
Realty Company and John j. Hopper TO
test the legality OF the proposed contracts
hotween the city and the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company, the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company and the Brooklyn Union
Railroad Company for the operation IF the
new subways
The questions chiefly involved are the !e-
gality of the clauses In the proposed con-
tracts which Permit the operating COM
panies preferential payments OF SIG Ter
cent on their Investment from the net
earnings OF the lines and the constitutional
ity of the new relations to be establishc d
between the city and the railroads.
Samuel Untermyer, who represented the
Admiralty Realty Company at the hearing,
made the chief argument His contention
was that the proposed contracts would vic-
late Article 8. Section 10. OF the state con-
stitution. which provides. among other
things. that city shall not loan It's money
or credit to a corporation. The contracts.
ne thoush'' Hauc 'pe 'itS soit VI pal u
ner OF the operating companies.
In answer to this Assistant Corporation
Counsel Hahlo said that the city had been
leasing its docks and ferries, etc. for
years It's ferries were operated by COM
panics which were on much the sane toct-
ing as the railroad companies would be
after the signing OF the contracts. The va
ndity Of the arrangement had never been
questioned before. Justice Blackh,ar re-
served decision and told the lawyers 10
hand In briefs by Monday.

PARK TREE SAWED DOWN
Commissioner Asks Police to Aid
in Search for VandalS.
WORK DONE IN THE NIGHT
Trunk Cut Off Close to Ground
and Left Lying on Hillside
Near Highbridge.

With the assistance of the police. Park
Commissioner StOver is trying TO find the
persons guilty Of what he calls the worst
piece Of vandalism that has ever come to
my attention. The offence which has so
disturbed Commissioner Slower was the
saving down of fine and healthy tree in
Highbridge Park. 1t was sawed off close
to the ground. and was left lying on the
hillside.
The work must have been done at
night" said Commissioner Stover yester-
day. FOR the police say they saw no one
near the tree during daylight. I don't
think have ever heard of such a case Of
vandalism before. The tree was not in n
place where IT could cause trouble TO any
body. The saving must have been done
with a large wood saw, and evidently re-
quired some time and the efforts Of at least
two persons. If I can find those who are
guilty shall do ali in my power to prose-
cute them for wilful and malicious van
dalism."
The tree was near 1S7th street and Am
sterdam avenue. Last summer some boys
in that neighborhood marked large chest
nut tree with a white ring in the hope
that the Park Department tree cutters
would remove it. as it was interfering with
one of their baseball diamonds. Dead or
dying trees had been marked with white
rings. and the boys thought that a ring
on the chestnut tree would lead the cut
ters into the mistake of cutting it down.
Superintendent Beatty of the Park De-
partment has brought to the attention Of
Commissioner Stover and Charles Downing
Lay. the landscape architect. the great dam
age recently done 10 trees and shrubs in
Morningside and Central parks by boys
and young men playing or Coasting in the
snow. According TO Mr.. Beatty. many Of
the trees which were planted last fall have
been broken off or injured so badly that
they are dead or dying. and indiscrminate
coastng in Central Park has caused the
destruction of large clumps of new shrubs
a white birch tree in Morningslde Park
was broken down by boys A few days ago.
The 1eXibility Of the tree made il a novel
plsything. and the boys would bend It near
ly to the ground and then bound up with
it as some Of the others let 20. The tree
finally snapped of.

robbed He had no money I'm the pockets
of'hls clothes.
