JOHN SHELTON WILLIAMS.
The New President of the Seaboard
Air Inc

The Richmond Times gives the fol-
lowing sketch of Mr.. John SHELTON
Williams, who has just been elected
president of the Seaboard Air Line
Railroad and the ''Old Bay Line"
Steam Packet Company, under the
reorganization, succeeding Maj. r.
c. Hoffman:
MIR. John SHELTON Williams has
been the moving spirit in a number
OF large enterprises during the past
few years, and has come to the front
as prominent figure in financial cir
cles of the South. He first became
widely known in the business world
by his publication of large and COM
prehensivs Manuel of Investments,
which treated of Southern railroads,
municipal, State, and general tinan-
cial interests, and is regarded as a
standard work by bankers and bro
kers everywhere. When quite young
he became a member of the banking
house of which his father John L.
Williams, was the head. and which
is now known as John L. Williams
= Sons.
During his connection with the
firm he has been interested in large
railroad and financial operations in
establishment of the Richmond Trac-
ton Company, (which for some time
he was president. He was the NOV
| ing spirit in the organization of the
! Citizens Exchange Bank, the Rich
mond Mica Company, the Richmond
Trust and Deposit Company, the Vir-
| ginia Electric Railway and Develop
| ment Company, the Richmond, Pc
tersburg & Carolina Railroad, and
other large financial institutions. He
prepared the plan of organization of
| the Georgia & Alabama Railway e1-
tending from Montgomery, Ala, to
Savannah, Ga, distance of $40
miles. and for some years has been
president of that railroad, which has
greatly improved under his admins
ton of it's affairs.
Mr.. Williams latest achievement
in the financial field was the forma-
ton of syndicate which purchased
the Seaboard & Roanoke Railroad and
thus obtained control of the Seaboard
Air Line system. AS the head Of
this syndicate Mr.. Williams plans to
secure control of the system were
eminently successful, and despite the
injunction proceedings and other
obstacles on the part of the opposi-
ton the property went into the hands
of the new syndicate as a whole.
This was large and exceedingly i'm
portant movement in financial cir
cles, and it is source of gratifica-
ton to many heavy shippers in this
part of the country that it has been
announced that the road will be op-
Grated in future as an independent
line

A FOrerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question Of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
The importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will.

The Trials and TribulatiOns of 1en.

Here's the way writer of some
what satirical proclivities puts it:
Did you ever stop to think how
full of crosses and temptations a
mans life is? He came into this
world without his consent, goes out
against his will, and the trip between
the two extremities is exceedingly
rocky. The rule of contraries is one
of the important features Of the trip.
When he is little the big girls kiss
him. If he raises large family he
is chump, but if he raises small
check he is a thief and fraud, and
is Stunned like a Christian with the
seven-year itch. If he's poor, he is
poor manager; if he is rich, he is
| dishonest; if he is in politics you can
not tell where to place him, and he
is no good to this country; if he does
an act of charity, it's for policy; if he
won't give to charity, he's stingy
cuss and lives only for himself; if he
dies young there is great future be-
fore him; if he lives to an old age he
has missed his calling; he is intro
duced to this world by doctor, and
to the next by the same process. The
road is rocky, but man likes to trave

HARRY BURGWYN CAMP.

After much deliberation on the
subject, the Camp of Sons of Con-
federate Veterans which was recently
organized here, has decided to call
itself Harry Burgwyn Camp" in
honor of Col. Henry King Burgwyn,
Jr., who was slain at the battle OF
Gettysburg. while commanding the
goth North Carolina regiment. Col.
Burgwyn was one of the youngest. as
well as one of the bravest officers in
the service of this State. and it is
highly appropriate that this associa-
tion of young men should be named
for him. At the time of his entrance
into the Confederate army he was a
resident of Raleigh and his remains
lie buried in lakewood cemetery near
this city.-Ners and Observer.

the following: When farmer wishes
to retire he moves to town. When
town people wish to retire they move
to the country. \ farmer has poor
health and he moves to town to rest
up and get we'll where he will not be
