The sorter Is designed on a new principal from sorters which have heretofore been put on the market. This i,--or sorts apples by weight, rather titan by slxe, and in proving very successful. It consists of an endless belt In which are placed pockets held In a receiving position by weights. The belt passes over bins, n bin being pro vided for each sl.e of apples Over each bin there Is n spring, of different tension, and If the apple is heavy enough to overcome the spring, it falls Into the bin underneath. If It Is not heavy enough. It passes on to tho next bin, where possibly it will overcome tlinl spring It is claimed that the apples will find their respective bins, and when the operullon Is finished, the apples are sorted as well, if not better, than can be done by hand. A patent for the new Invention has been applied for. F. B. HAMPTON IS SENTENCED MONDAY F. B.

This in. ike . linn of the escapud prisoners who ure uow Iu the peni tentiary. couraged or scared out. Thon again many au election has been lost by over confidence. Incidents of fail ures due to these causes may be seen upon all sides. One is aa bad and In excusable as the other. Both are routes of failure. The safe plan is to proceed with the knowledge that the race is not won until the goal is reached. Keep a ateudy nerve aud do )our beat. Alarm flock Ifc.n't Count.
