THE failur, of the Maverick Bank is
largely the esult of unbusiness like

suspicion by conservative financiers.

country was flooded with it costly ad-

sequence Of the lack Of confidence

WILL THEY LOCK HORNsy
The Richmond & DanviIlo And Western &
Atlantic Making Faces.

Some time ago it was h;ntcd that the
Richmond j. panviilc would pnt on q sleep
or between here and Atlanta. This, as Q
matter OF course, antagonized the Western
4 Atlantic, and Eow that road has issued
orders authorizing its agents to give its
MISREPRESENTATION over the Georgia Gen.
trail to the East Tennessee, instead Of to
the Richmond & Danville as heretofore.
This meant from Chattanooga south. Tho
Richmond & Danville promptly rctaiiatcd
by ordering its representation from Atlau-
ia to Chattanooga over TIE Georgia Central
to go via the Richmond g. Danvillc. Their
Atlanta business can thus come to Chstta-
noosa either via Griflen or Kramer. 1t
WAS thought for awhile that the trouble
would he extended to The freight depart
memt, but has not been so far. The matter
is not being seriously agitatcd 10y either
road at present, but if the Richmond g.
Danylle persists in putting on IL sleeper
between here and Atlanta, there is likely
to be sumo fun. The Richmond & Danvillo
seldom attempts anything it does not 60 at
with 4 vim, and there is promise OF some
Lively times ahead.

Golden Rule.

President Ingalls,, of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad in recent address to
the railroad clerks OF Cincinnati, gave an
interesting description of the manner in
which he worked up from the time when
he began life on railroad On the Prince
ly salary of $751; per month.
But out of that insignificant sum
which would not suffice to furnish
many modern clerks in liquor and tobac-
co, he saved money and by the exercise of
economy, energy and ambition rose to the
Presidency of one of the largest railroad
corporations in the lands.
He impressed upon his hearers these
two valuable lessons:
First, always live within your income
and lay aside a portion OF your wages, and
second, make up your minds that you will
he the best railroad clerk in Cincinnati,
and never cease your efforts until you have
climbed to the top.
The advice Of this successful railroad
man, whose example is SO full Of counsel
and encouragement to young men, may
be briefly summarized as follows.
Start low, aim high, live within your
means, do your best, no matter what your
position, work as faithfully for small as
for large pay. and you are bound TO sue
coed.
