FATTY Is FREE.

Well. gracious me. old Fat is free,
To roam about the town:
His pile OF dough stopped all his woe.
And killed the public frown.
He's done with strife. he loves his
wife.
And his dear ma-in-law.
With he-male bugs" and female
hugs
He's passed beyond the law.
His lawyers bold. his hanknotes fold.
Their pockets are we'll filled;
So shut one eye, when folks fly high
And other folks are killed.
Isn't II about time to spring the
annual report about the shortage OF
Thanksgiving turkeys.

Moderate Advance

Southern Selling

turn and Is Attributed TO
Liquidation TogetherWith
Unsettlement in Germany

A moderate advance at the opening
Of the cotton market yesterday was
followed by declines resulting from
further Southern hedge selling and 8
renewal of liquidation by tired longs.
Possibly the weakness OF the German
mark and increased nervousness over
European affairs due TO the decision on
Upper Silesia accounted for some OF the
selling, but a rule brokers were more
inclined to attribute the decline TO re-
newal Of tho lluidating movement which
had been in progress during the holiday
off from 1858 to 19.l1c, making new low
ground for the movement and a decline
OF 2s4 points from the high price touched

traffic originating on the Norfolk &
Western over the Virginian from
Roanoke to Abilene. The empty cars

scaled economy, both as to cost of
operation and time of movement. Incl
dentally, it was an important factor in
keeping the supply of coal for our own
and the Allied ships and for New Eng
land manufacturers Up to requirements.
No such com mbination of lines is pos
sible between the Chesapeake & Ohio
and the Virginian.
The Chesapeake & Ohio Is the only
one of the three roads that does not
have heavy, expensive grades from the
coal fields over tho easternmost ridge
OF the mountains. It's main line has
been most economically located and de-
moro than added main limo facilities

Clinchfeld & Ohio, If it had been
linked with tho Chesapeake & Ohio,
would have afforded a new market
through tho southeast, since the c., G.
& 0. connects with the southernmost
end of the Big Sandy branch of the
c. & 0. and extends to connection
with the Southern Railway, from which
distribution is to be had over the en-
tire southeast.
The Virginian was built by the late
II. H. Rogers TO reach his coal fields,
into which the Chesapeake & Ohio had
refused to build. 1t serves those coal
fields admirably. 1t is hard to see
where the Virginian has anything to
gain by being under the same manage
ment as the c. & o., and certainly the
c. & O., with its superior grades, would
not appear to have any economic use
for the Virginian.-W. e. H.

and Norfolk e. Western. These three
roads were operated as the Pocahontas
district during government operation.
