THE VALUE OE A MAN.

The value of man--an animal
or machine is generally valued in
the markets of the world according
to what amount and value of work
they are capable of performing, and
this seems fair. Some men as we'll
as machines are more valuable, of
course, than others, and worth all
and more. thai they cost. A
case in point: Prof Holden is a
teacher in an Iowa State Agricultural
College. He has earned his salary
and more, no matter how great it is.
Governor Cummings is reported in
the American Magazine as stating
that under MIR. Holden's direction
and instruction the corn crops of the
State of Iowa have increased upon an
average of 81 million bushels yearly
for several years. This he did by Civ
ing the farmers a few, simple rules
to work to and by. Think of it
What is the worth of such man to
his state? Corn, in Iowa, is worth,
say. DO cents bushel. Forty times
II million gives nearly IL million
dollars per year, this one man is add
ing to the value of one crop in his
State, and of course, his good work
does not end with the corn crops.
If the people of the State of Iowa
were asked to give Professor Holden
so thousand dollars a year salary
there would likely be opposition.
Bnt he is worth it and more. The
man who makes two ears of corn
grow where only one grew before, is
worth something to the people of his
day and generation. Similar good
work is being done by other men
in other states. The same can be
done in almost any state. Proper
seed, proper preparation of the soil,
proper cultivation three things
embrace the gist of the new agricul-
ture. In the absnce of man like Mr..
Holden there are numbers of books,
magazines and newspapers published
which tell excatly and plainly how to
and how not to farm. The trouble is
that so many farmers think they
know it all, and refuse or neglect to
read and inform themselves, and beat
along the same old way, from year
to year. They are joined to idols and
custom

Rev. j. o. Straley, presiding elder
OF the Tazewel District of the M.
b. Church. dropped dead at the dis
trict parsonage ut 5 O'Clock Wednes-
day afternoon. He was in his usual
good health and spirits all day, and a
few minutes before his death was
playing with his children on the
lawn and at the barn. He went 20
the barn To feed his horse and coming
out tell at the door of the barn.
Several men, happening to be near,
were attracted by the screams of the
children and carried the body into the
house. In the meantime physicians
were phoned for, but when they
arrived life was extinct. His death
was due to apoplexy, or was perhaps
due to paralytic stroke. He had
suffered two strokes previously. His
sudden death caused intense excite
ment. His wife and children were
almost frantic. and their grief was
pitiable. Sympathetic neighbcrs
rushed to Mrs. Straley's aid, and did
what they could to Tighten her burden.
Mr.. Straley was in his second year
as Presiding elder here. He was
vigorous, progressive and popular
preacher. His widow and five children
survive. Remains were taken to
Emory yesterday for burial. Deceased

JOHNSON LEADS ALL PITCHERS.
Heads Either Wood or Marquard in
 Strikeouts for the Season.

Line them all up in a row, the best of the lot Here they are-Johnson, Wood, Walsh, Marquard, MatheWSon, >Tesreau, Alexander, Rucker, Coombs, Plank and Gregg. Who leads the list? We'll you can haveeyour pick, but well take Johnson-Walter Johnson of Washington. Take the base hit figures Wood in 40 games allowed PAP hits. Marquard in 40 games allowed 274 hits. But Johnson in 40 games allowed only 229 hits. In 46 games the great Sen- atorial star averaged only five hits to the contest, while Wood averaged about six and Marquard about seven.
 Wood famed 230, Marquard 166, and Johnson 286. The latter allowed less runs to the game for an average than any slabman in either circuit Ed Walsh had no chance to show his true worth as winner, as Callahan sent him into 58 games-18 more than eith- CT Wood or Marquard faced and 12 more than Johnson was called upon to handle. Under equal conditions, work ed in turn, Johnson would more likely have the edge on them all for star and steady work from beginning to end
 Johnson is a wonderful pitching type. He has the greatest speed ex. tant, fine control and is now in pos- session of good curve and a puzzling slow one. Clark Griffith has pitched against Amos Rusie. But Griff says that Johnson carries even more smoke than the once famed Giant Of his 12 defeats, no less than nine were receiv- ed in games where he held his oppon- ents to less than six hits, losing by small, close scores.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
HEAVY SELLING.
Sudden Unloading of Holdings Causes Declines in Many Issues.

New York, Oct. 21.-The feature of today's stock market was the heavy selling of the last hour, ey16ich caused rapid diminishing of quoted values, net losses in representative issues ranging from two to. four points. No news ac- oompanied the decline, which was doubtless aided by the operations of the short interest.
 The setback was again due in part to foreign influences. London's mar ket was weak, natural condition in view of the liberal selling there for Berlin and Paris. French rates suffer ed another severe decline and private advices received by international bank CTS indicated extreme uneasinesS at the French capital arising from latest de- velopments in the Balkans.
 The local market opened with some moderate losses, these being partially regained in the early afternoon. whCl lit became known that the United States supreme court would not hand down an immediate decision in the so- called anthracite cases. The profes- sional element then undertook to ad- vance several speciaties. and this movement, proving more or less futile, the list was left to it's own devices. | Traders were not slow to realize it's l technical weakness, which included in creasing firmness of call money on re- | duced supplies.
 | After the close it developed that
 Paris and other European exchanges
 were still at work clearing up last
 weeks 'wreckage.' It was intimated
 that numerous private settlements
 were being made in London, Paris and Berlin to cover up some of the weak spots created by the recent liquida- | tion. and that further decrease meas-
 ures might be necessary to proven.
 acute demoralization in more than one
 financial quarter.

There are 90O,OOO or more deaf peo- pie in London, according to the Lon don Daily Mirror. These will shortly be enabled to hear perfectly all the plays produced at the many London theaters. Ar invention somewhat similar to a telephone has been per- fected by G. R. A. Hope. and the New theater already has several instru- ments installed. In a month every seat in the theater will be equipped with a little box similar to those from which opera glasses are obtained, and by placing a sixpence in the slot an ''earphone," as the new invention is called, is released for the use of the seat holder. All but the stone deaf will be able to hear.
 When the user cannot hear what the actor is saying. all that is necessary to do is to place the receiver to the ear and move the little indicator around until the required strength of voice is obtained. In test of the in vention a whisper 20 yards away

RECORD LIKELY TO STAND.
Overall Says There is Little ProbabiI- ity of Anyone Equaling Marquard's s Stunt

While the baseball fans of the coun- try will readily admit that the recent pitching of RUbe Marquard of the Gi- ants was a wonderful performance, I am inclined to believe that the real merit of his feat is not so thoroughly understood says Overall. the former major league twirler Tn my opin- ion, Marquard has performed not only in record breaking style, but has set 8 new, record that will stand for. many years to come. It is doubtful if his rec ord will be duplicated in a generation iby any major league pitcher where the rules are strictly enforced, and where the task of winning 8 game is made just as difficult as science and class can accomplish.
 There is a possibility that the feat may be equalled in some minor league, which l seriously doubt. but for any man to win 19 straight games in q ma jor league championship season, where the pitcher is opposed by the cream of the baseball world and where class means class, and the ablest generals of the diamond are plotting for your downfall isSan achievement that must go down in history as a record to be shot at by the future greats of the big brush heaving department Instances may be cited wherein the early days of baseball some pitchers have won more consecutive games than did Marquard but the fact must not be overlooked that baseball then and baseball now arg so widely different in style of play rules of play and pitching, and in the 1 science of the game, that, comparisons of records made then and nav would be- ridiculous
 1 Naturally, some will say that Mar quard was lucky to hang up-such d great record. Granted. Baseball luck is a part of the game, and it is one of
