Distinguished Railroad Man and Golfer.

The above is a cut of Mr.. L. E. Johnson, president Of the
Norfolk & Western railroad, and one OF the most distin puished
citizens of Virginia. Mr.. Johnson is a lively boy of some sixty
summers. In his spare time he ably manages one of the largest
and most successful railroad properties in the country, but il is
suspected that he really devotes his most serious thought and
profound study to the ancient and noble game Of golf.
Mr.. Johnson was the bright particular star of a notable
contest staged on the College Arms golf course at Deland. Fla,
and arranged for the purpose of settling the Virginia debt
question and all other pending controversies between the states
OF West Virginia and Virginia. Mr.. Johnsons partner was Mr..
L. L. Stone, president of the Stone Printing Company of Roanoke.
president OF the Borderland Coal Company, and of other corpora
lions too numerous to mention. He is generally described as
one of the predatory rich" West Virginia interests we're repre-
scented by Mr.. w. E. Stone, of Stone & Thomas Wheeling and
h. c Ogden. The contest was fercely fought at all stages. and
the West Virginia representatives led by one point when play
began on the eighteenth hole. Thereupon the "old man" siezed
his sticks, grhted his teeth, and with four mighty and maasterfuI
drives reached the green and played the hole in DOGGY, winning
the contest for Virginia by one point. amid wild applause.
Ii is understood that the grateful citizens OF Virginia

New York on business and left the honor of Virginia in less able
hands, the result of succeeding matches proved disastrous Il the

TIE TONE OF BUSINESS.

This is ordinarily a dull period OF
the year. the holiday and inventory
taking com bining to restrict activity In
commercial and industrial channels
The prevailing auietness OF trade is
somewhat accumulated by special
suspensions, and the general situation
IS characterized by waiting attitude
on the part OF leading interests. The
government cotton report this week
was unexpectedly favorable, showing
as 1t did some improvement in the
the condition of the crop over a month
ago although the acreage is smaller
than las, year. The official statement
caused sharp break in prices. and
of the 3l5 commodity quotations regu-
larly compiled by Dun's Review 80
showed declines and % advances.
With the opening Of the second holt
of the year a gradual expansion in the
demand for iron and steel is antici-
pated, bu, any early improvement in
values is considered doubtful. De-
velopments last month in respect TO
railroad buying were appreciably bet
ter, several significant contracts hav.
ing been placed Sales Of pig iron. also.
were larger than in recent preceding
months. but producers were obliged to
offer further concessions to stimulate
business.
In western dry goods markets, and
those tributary to the farming COM
rnunities the situation rs improving
and this is expected to become more
pronounced as the har~ests approach.
During the present month there will
he many openings Of now lines for
spring. and hopes Of an increased
trade are based upon crop prospects

BARBERoUS.
Manson Democrat

VI OelNCCTdl.J
The tonsorial artists of Manson nave
agreed to raise the price Of hair cut
ting and razor honing on the 18th OF
this month. They have published a
notification of their proposed schedule
Of prices in order that all who run may
read and hurry to get in a hair cut at
the time honored price OF two bits, or
get their trusty whiskerotomy instru-
merit tuned up before the honing pro-
cess goes TO four bits While the pro-
posed gentlemen's agreement between
the Manson BARRIERS may be combin-
alton in restraint of trade, it surely
is not such in restraint of the growth Of
whiskers and hair Regardless Of the
high cost of living. whiskers and hair
will continue to grow and flourish, and
the patrons of the Manson tonsorial-
lists will either meet the raise with a
clean shave and smile. or with 2 solid
front OF whiskers and a scowi. Only
time and the growth OF the whiskers
with it's attendant itching and incon-
venience. not to say unsightliness, Will
tell. The BARRIERS do not claim the
high cost of living as cause for the
raise in price OF their work. They ex-
plain that the high prices maintained
for hogs the past few years has
boosted the price Of soap grease to
such an extent that soap has scared
in sympathy and there il not the
slightest hope that the bubble will
burst. Further, there has been such .
drouth in the Sahara desert that the
crop of camers hair 10 very short ana
II is almost impossible to get cam
