The Richmond Times has lost its head
in It's advocacy for the change Of the cleo
ton law In Virginia, which We believe
Is as good and just law as can be
enacted. SO far as this section Is con-

nent Democrats In this section that we
know or have heard Of that take any
stock in the Times TRADE against the
Anderson Mccormick law. We greatly

From South Texas came . man who

Corpus Christi 70 San Antonio with all
OF his POSSESSIONS heaped on . two

Globe Democrat lie got a charter 70
build railroad from San Antonio TO

throwing . great deal loore than ono
shovel of dirt with his own hands. Tho
receiver of another road loaned this in
defatigablc builder enough old rails
sor r,ile OF track. In q distant part of
the state was purchased an old engine
which had been condemned SIX years
before and sent to the shops TO to
wrecked for strap iron. Two old cars
were picked up somewhere else 1t
bargain. And that old engine. drawing
those old cars, steamed inso San An
tonic. On engine and cars in bold let
sers were painted in lampblsck: IS. A.
and A. p" With one mile Of old rail
track and with the equipment Of the
old engine and two old cars Uriah Lott
started the Arkansas Pass system. There
has been some tall financiering in the
! history Of railroad building In this coun-
try. but there isn't anything which for
dazzling pluck quite approaches the
story of the building of this six hum
bred miles Of road in South Texas. To
the one mile Of track three were added
three miles by dickcr for some SEQ
ond-hnnd rails which street car COM
pany had bought from q narrow guags
company. On this basis . credit wa
made with q Pennsylvania rolling mill
| for ten miles Of rails. When they ~
rived there wasn't money enough in tho
treasury 70 pay the freight But Il was
got somehow. Ten miles Of track gave
foundation for bonds which built forty
miles more, and 50 the system grew inso
its present proportions This man who
built the Arkansas Pass system rode from
/ San Antonio TO Chicago At one critical
period in his enterprise without . cent
but he hadn't anything 70 buy food, and
he went through hungry.
