A BANKERS VIEW
OF THE RAILROADS
President of Investments Bankers of
America Makes Some Pertinent
Observations.

In an address before the Invest
ments Bankers Association of Ameri
ca recently in Denver, President A
B. Leach made some pertinent OBJ
servations on the railroads of the
country, and some of the problems
with which they are confronted
Among other things he said: "The
railroads are prepared to meet the
public on fair basis, on the basis
of service, on the basis of mutual
justice. But the public, and the
public sentiment. should meet the
railroads in similar manner"
He said that thru the investment
bankers very large per centage of
railroad stocks and bonds had been
placed in this country and in Eu-
rope, and that the proceeds had
served to build up the magnificent
transportation lines of which the
country should be proud. He re-
counted the attendance of a COM
mittee of the investment bankers
association at hearing before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
when the Eastern freight increase
was being asked, and told how the
committee had presented their side
of the question from an investors s
standpoint.
''Let us not forget" he said, that
the railroads are furnishing the life
currents of larger portion of the
country than any other industry;
they are the largest employers of la
Dor, they are the largest purchasers
of supplies and materials, they con-
stitute one of the greatest, if not the
greatest, of American industries.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion-I find no fault and make no
crit ISM, but simply make the
appointed not alone
as guardian of the shipper, but also
as the guardian of the railroads, and
if our railroads are to succeed, a
new vision and new disposition on
the part of this commission, and of
the State Commissions, must be
brought about by the pressure of
public sentiment, by the pressure Of
business and by the pressure of the
investor.
'Take away from the investment
world the confidence in railroad Sc
curities, the staunch belief that in
vestments in railroads will always
receive fair treatment, and the rail-
ways of the country face bankruptcy.
Increased railroad facilities can
DO more-and will do more--to de-
velop the country than any other
one agency"

Brownlow Monument dwelling.

AS Congressman Austin remarked
in his speech, it was appropriate that
Congressman Brownlow should be
buried at the home, for the two mil
lion dollar plant erected by the gov
ernment stands as great monument
to his interest in the people he
served in Congress from the First
District.
In the "Silent Circle" of the Noun
tain Branch of the National Soldiers
Home here last Sunday afternoon
was unveiled the monument erected
in memory of Congressman Walter
p. Brownlow and his WIFE, The
monument was erected by Mrs. Kyle
M. King, daughter, and is an i'm

High Mark for Cotton.

Hickman, KY, Oct. 11.-Cotton
last week reached the highest point
ever known here for the regular run
of cotton, when the price reached
ga cents per pound or $5.75 per
hundred, this price being for seed
cotton, while last year much of the
lint cotton brought only six cents,
just one-quarter cent less than is
now being paid for seed cotton. The
prices are higher than being given
anywhere for miles around, and the
cotton is coming in in large guam
titles. The farmers and merchants
are jubilant over the outlook and
everybody is making money now.

The Danee-Mad Wings.

Folks, they talk of Autumn sad, -
but bright her sunbeams glance
And every wind is whistling tempta-
tion to the dance!
Goldenrod's a-glimmer on slopes of
all the hills,
And if we miss. the mockingbirds,
there's music in the rills.
Whistle, winds of autumn,
Your liveliest, lifting tune;
Dream-fairies still are here to
dance.
Beneath a golden moon.
Autumn's on shining throne-not
preaching from a place
Where winds that make the music
fear to run madcap race!
The earth is all-delighting in her
merry trickey ways;
Melodious nights are singing to the
dawn of golden days.
Whistle, winds of autumn,
Where golden hosts advance;
The fairies of a dream are here,
Far-glimmering in the dance.

HOOPER PUTS FOOT
DOWN ON LITTLETON
Says Republicans Will Not Support
! LiQuorite.

Ben w. Hooper, former Republi-
can Governor of Tennessee, and still
somewhat of power among the Re-
publicans of this State, has put his
foot fatty down on the boom o.
Jesse M. Littieton, Mayor of Chat
tanooga, for United States Senator on
a local option platform.
Hooper's move is little bit sur
prising, particularly in view of re-
ports that the Hooper and Littleton
wings of the Republican party in
Tennessee were about to get together
and would put up Littleton for the
Senate and Asbury Wright, Of Knox
Vile, one of Hoopers friends, for
Governor. Another report had it
that Hooper would run for the SEN
ate, and Littlton would take a turn
at the Governorship.
Both of these reports had the ring
party is pretty we'll discredited in
Tennessee just now and must, it
seems, resolve itself for a time at
least into a party of expediency. In
the present crisis, with the Demo-
cratic nominee for the Senate COM
mitted beforehand to prohibition,
and the Democratic Governor rabid
prohibitionist, it was figured that
the Republicans might put up Little
ton and make a bid for Democratic
local optionists, and Hooper or
Hooper man and bid for Democratic
prohibitionists.

COL. ROBERT GATES
PASSES TO REWARD
Was An Editor, Railroad Builder and
an Agriculturist.

Jackson, Tenn, Oct. 9.-Col. Rob
ert Gates, editor, railroad builder
and agriculturist, died Monday after
noon at $3.50 O'Clock at his home
He had been critically ill for several
weeks. The funeral was held from
St. Luke's Episcopal Church We'd
nesday morning at 10 o'clock.
Col. Gates was born in Henry
County, Tennessee, May S, 1841, OF
old Virginia stock. His father, B
F. Gates, was descended from Gov
Thomas Gates of the Old Dominion.
His mother, Elizabeth Jackson Rop-
er, was descended from Gen. Field
ing Lewis. When he was 13 years
of age his father moved to Jackson,
where he received his education,
grew to manhood and where he spent
most of his long life. He was among
the first of the young men of Madi-
son County to enlist for the defense
of the South in 1851. After serving
in the ranks one year he was COM
missioned a lieutenant and assigned
to duty in the light artillery. After
the battle of Chickamauga when
Gen. Forrest came to the West,
Lieut.. Gates accompanied him as a
staff officer and served with distinc-
ton on special duty until the close
of the war. For gallant conduct on
several occasions he was recommend
ed for promotion to captain, but in
the confusion incident to the final
period of the war he failed to re-
ceive his commission. The title of
colonel was bestowed on him by JEFF
ferson Davis in a letter a few years
after the war. He participated in
many engagements and in every one
exhibited all the traits of a brave
and fearless soldier, and never failed
to attract the attention of his su-
perior officers.
After the close of the war Col.
Gates became contractor for the
rebuilding of the Mobile & Ohio and
the Mississippi Central Railroads, in
which business he accumulated a
handsome fortune, which was sub
sequently, lost in the same business.
In 1869 he became a reporter on
the old West Tennessee Whig, which
was afterwards known as the Whig
and Tribune, of which he was asso-
ciate editor. In 1874 he, with Hon.
B. A. Enloe, established the Jackson
Sun, which soon became one of the
most influential papers in the State.
AS Commissioner Of Immigration
under Gov. William B. Bate, Col.
Gates brought to Tennessee many ex-
cursions of homeseekers from other
of West and Middle Tennes-
see. He directed his best efforts to
the establishments of new industries
in the State and in the South and to
the upbuilding Of agricultural inter
ests. AS secretary of the CONNER
cial Club of Memphis, in the early
he aroused much interest
in manufacturing in that city, and
with voice and pen did much toward
attention from abroad to
the Bluff City.
Col. Gates was one of the active
agents in building the Tennessee
Railroad, now a part of the
NJ, G. e St. L. Railroad.
For nearly one-third of a century
he carried, an elegant gold watch
which was duly inscribed and pre-
,ented by the people of Jackson as a
testimonial of his unceasing efforts
n the upbuilding of the city.

How Burlcsoue is Produced

Two shows a week with two acts in
each show and to produce them right
to satisfy the public is no easy matter
it means rehearsals every day and
sometimes at night. 1t must be done
with system or it would be impos-
sible to get results. First the songs
are learned to memory. Once this is
done the girls of the chorus are
handed. TO the dancing teacher who
puts the business in the songs While
this is being done the principals are
i'm some other part of the theatre
learning their part The stage
hands are building platforms and
scenic effects; the scene painter is
kept busy day and night to get the
sets out on time. The wardrobe lady
is fixing up and getting the wardrobe
ready for the next show, while the
manager in front is busy keeling the
advertising matter before the public.
After three days Of this hustle and
hustle a general rehearssl is called for
the entire company. The chorus Is
first put through their numbers. The
scenery is then set up and the whole
show gone through with the orchestra
and stagehands and electricians all on
the job to try out the color scheme,
etc. Most times this last rehearsal is
kept up till five minutes before the
house opens for the first performance.
All in all it's hard work from start to
finish.
