October .r~Brandt WaTker has made 111 Wall street $6,500,000 siuce St Patrick's Day. Mr. Walker'# bear plunges during the present slump alone have netted him $3,000,000. That was upon his arrival front Saratoga, where he condncted a Wall street campaign lietween races that poured $500,000 into his coffers, alread\ bulging from the famous March raid through which he directed op erations by telephone and cleared $2,000,000. Slipping out to Chi cago between times, he beat the seasoned Ritters out of $500,000 in bull wheat. Mr. Walker said yesterday: ' I sold Union at 43. Steel at 39, Sine! ter at in, and St. Paul at 132. Altogether I went short 200,0 ,o shares in New York and 80,000 in London — $5,000 000, that's right —but I've kept enough of the good stocks to make me net profits ou this little flyer just s3,x>o,oo°, and three weeks ago they were say ing I'd never be able to cover.

Wilson Times WORTH MILLIONS The Danbury Reporter thintis it is the agitation of the tobacco fa 1 - tuers and antitrust legislation, rather thau the small crop, that are responsible for the increase in the price of the tobacco this year ■over last year. It is right. The size of the crop has very little effect on the price which the trust fixes for the weed. The only thing that affects it materially is to give the trust real fear of aggressive legisla tion and vigorous prosecution. Then it pays more for tobacco nutij it feels that the people have again lieen lulled to sleep. The agitation and the passage by tin House of Representatives of North Carolina of "sub-section a" was in itself worth millions of dollars to the North Carolina tobacco growers, and the investigation by the Fed eral government and the yjstitu tiou of legal proceedings against the trust is worth almost as much If the people go to sleep, the trust feels safe 111 putting down the price and keeping it down; if the people are aroused and deter mined, the trust sees that it must put up the price.—News & Obser ver.

C Aytv Co., .-• ROIIERSUNVILLE INI3WS Dear Editor: These bright, beautiful clays of "Indian Summer", have a tendency to make one feel like sleeping ■icarly all the time; with the semi light, and ha/.y atmosphere, and varied colored leaves of the forest, and flu- absence of the many sum mer birds which made, the air liar monious with their notes of joy, .md our own feelings, give strong indications that "Nature* is pre-,, iiaiing for lier winter nap. The seared leaf, which drops and falls in eddying currents to the ground; the dried and dead grass ind other vegetation, which, a few iveeks ago were green "and beauti ful; the lonesome caw of the crow, .ill tell us in a silent language "that nothing on earth, can stay here, the roses must die with the year". And, though we may liaVe these tkl thoughts and reili/c the muta bility of all tilings; change on change taking place day by day we t an look beyond the coming winter which tor a while will wield his 1 i V scepter, and reign a stern and i r.uel monarch, to the biightei ■ lavs of the'sweet spring time, and we then can repeat the words b of the poet when lie says. « "C* loud* of bees are busv with clover, Clouds of grasshopper* skip nt ywur feet, Clouds of larks are enroling over Tlinuking I^oril for .t lite so sweet." After the winter comes the baling s{>l ing, which we can appreciate more, because the cold days are gone, and ilower and shrub and vine put on the lovely robes* and bask in the sunlight glow.
