ANDREW Carnegie seems to be capa-
ble Of saying things that sound as beau
tiful and good as the golden rule, and
then acting like the devil. When the
other day he said Of the war against
the Beers and the Filipinos that one
was war against an existing and the
other against an embryonic republic,
he was in his DR.. Jeckyl role.

A RAILROAD TRUCE
The Southern and tho Atlantic Coast
Line Agree NOT 10 Invade Each Oths
er.s Territory

Baltimore Sun May 16th)
The announcement that the South
ern railway had secured possession of
the Sanford-Mt. Airy division of the
Atlantic and Yadkin railroad, or, as it
was formerly known, the Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley, was a surprise in
Baltimore financial circles. This prop
erty was bought at foreclosure sale
last December by a syndicate compos-
ed of Messrs. Harry Walters, B. +.
Newcomer and Michael Jenkins. II
was then generally accepted that the
whole property would become a part Of
the Atlantic Coast Line and the devel-
opment that the western portion of the
road was in the hands of the Southern
railway was unexpected.
This is, however now regarded as
indicating an understanding between
the Southern railway and the Atlantic
Coast Line to keep out of each other S
territory. With the Sanford-Mt. Airy
division the Atlantic Coast Line would
have entered western North Carolina
and have been in a position to COM
pete with the Southern. 1t was the i'm
preston among some iinanciers yes
terday that the delivery of this divis-
ion to the Southern would probably be
followed by the surrender by the South
ern TO the Atlantic Coast Line of the
South Carolina and Georgia railway,
which was recently bought by the
Southern. In securing this property
the Southern obtained an entrance into
Charleston, S. c., and other territory
of the Coast Line. Previous to the
deal with the Southern the Atlantic
and Yadkin Railroad Company decided
to the Wilmington and Weldon Rail
road Company, which is one of the At
lantic Coast Line corporations, that
portion OF it's system east OF Sanford
North Carolina.
After this the stock of. the Atlantic
and Yadkin Railroad Company was
sold to the Southern Railway Company,
, thus placing in possession of the lat
sSr the control of the remainder OF the
property. The Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad Company pays for the portion
it acquired by an issue Of $1,S00,000
per cent. fifty-year gold bonds, which
will be a first mOrtagage on the prop
erty acquired and known as the Will
mington and Weldon Railroad Com
pany Yadkin Division bonds These
bonds are turned over to the SYNDICATE
which made the purchase Of the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad and
reorganiZed 1T as the Atlantic and Yad-
kin. In payment for the whole prop
erty the syndicate gave $3,1O0, 900 and
there was active competition at the
sale, both from the Southern railway
and the Seaboard Air Line.
