SPREADING OUT.
The Atlantic Coast Line Railroads
New Purchase.

According to The Augusta Chronicle
of Thursday the Atlantic Coast Line
paid one million dollars for a half in
tercst in the Georgia railroad lease.
Says the Chronicle This is a fact
which the Chronicle has learned since
the meeting in Atlanta of the Atlantic
and West Point and Western of Ala
bama roads. Thursday morning the
half million of securities Of the Coast
Line were passed upon by tie Georgia
railroad directors and accepted. There
are more reasons than one why the
Coast Line wanted share Of this lease
as is shown in the annual statement Of
Georgia railroad earnings for the past
year which are 40 secret, and upon
which Col. T. K. Scott, general man
ager, has been receiving very warm
congratulations. These earnings show
that for the second time in the history
of the road under the lease it has earn
ed enough money to pay the rental.
The earnings, including interest from
the securities under the lease, are
1914, 1880, or s14, 1850 over and
above the rental, the rental being $780,
900 year. The other occasion on
which it earned is rental was during
the management of Major Greene. But
this is not all the profit to the lease
holders under their contract. The
Georgia road owns other very valuable
railroad property. Ithas controlling
interest in the Atlantic and West Point
and half interest in the Western of
Alabama. OF course the Coast Line un-
der the purchase fall heir to one quarter
interest in these two properties during
the lifetime Of the lease. The Chroni
Gle published Thursday that the At
lantic and West Point declared divi-
dend Of 25 per cent. on the capital
stock. By the declaration of this divi-
dend the lessees Of the Georgia came
into possession of 1923. Cos. This
amount added to the income Of last
year-s614, 179 60-makes grand to-
tai Of S7737, ,7S4.60, or Sl37. .0O4.6O in
clean cash over and above the annual
rental of 5000, 600 for the Georgia rail
road.

He HAS a PULL.
Senator McLaurin on Good Terms
With Mckinley.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Charleston Post says Senator McLaurin
of South Carolina is among the distin-
guished Southern statesmen in Wash
ington. He is here on business before
the War Department, trying to secure
commissions for some of his constitu-
ents, and also in relation to the matter
of the State claims growing out Of the
Spanish-American war.
The senator called at the executive
mansion the other day in relation to
placing some applications before the
president for commissions, and was re-
ceived very cordially. President Nc
Kinley and Senator McLaurin are, as is
we'll known, on very good terms, politi
cally, notwithstanding the political af
fliations Of the junior senator from
South Carolina. On several occasions
the Sc nator has supported the politics
of the administration, and moreover he
has very high opinion Of the chief ex-
ecutive. The senator stands very we'll
at the White House, and the president
usually seems disposed to grant MS re-
quests in the matter of State patronage.
Senator McLaurin says that politics
in South Carolina just now is not
arousing any great interest. The peo-
pie of the State are naturally interested
in the Philippine question and hope for
solution Of the difficulties as speedily
as possible. The senator thinks that
Congress will be disposed to support
the President in his efforts to bring
about such termination Of the war on
the Islands, and will grant him all the
aid necessary for this purpose.
In regard to State affairs, Senator
McLaurin says that business in South
Carolina has been very good, and that
the farmers as a rule are contented.
The senator will likely be in Washing
ton several days before returning home.

King of the Bunco Men.

New York, Nov. 26.-There is a tin
sign on the front door of the Franklin
Syndicate headquarters at No. l44 Floyd
street, Brooklyn, which reads:
CLOSED on Saturday"
Various reports were current regarding
the whereabouts of William +. Miller, the
head of the syndicate.
A pile of kilograms six inches high lay
in front of Postmaster Wilson of the bor-
ough of Brooklyn Saturday. Each one
was about a plea TO stop payment on a
money order or to hold a registered let
ter. All of NIiller's mail has been held
up. He received 600 ordinary and 90 reg
istered letters daily on an average. His
money orders varied from $4,000 to $751;
600 daily. Almost every town in the
United States seems to be represented in
the list. All of the sums now in the
hands of the postal authorities will be
refunded.
The World tomorrow will say: MILLER
is an ex-convict and he is well known
to the people of Lynn, Mass, where he
formerly resided"
Postmaster Wilson of Brooklyn says
that the sum total of the money intrusted
to Miller will reach an enormous amount.
Postofice inspectors have discovered that
Miller deposited as high as $4,000 a day
in one bank in the lower part of the city
The record of the money order depart
ment shows that Miller's business during
the last six weeks has been growing by
leaps and bounds. Every day he has
cashed money orders agg!egating between
$4,000 and $1,000 and one day the amount
ran I'D to $4,000.

Presidents Message.

Washington, Nov 29.-The presidents
annual message is practically completed
and ready for transmission to congress
when it assemblies next week. The mes
sage will be unusually long on account OF
the numerous important topics it dis
cusses. 1t is not certain the message will
be sent to congress next Monday. 1t is
customary to send it on the day OF the
assembling of congress, but as the death OF
the vice president makes it certain that
the senate at least will adjourn immedi-
ately out of respect to his memory, 1t Is
not unlikely that the message will be with
held until Tuesday.
In the house an adjournment will only
be delayed until that body is organized,
when, upon the announcement OF the death
of the vice president it will also adjourn.

New York, Nov. 26.-The World pub
fishes a letter from Havana stating that
United States officials, after months Of
secret investigation, have discovered that
the battleship Maine was blown up by
guncotton torpedoes placed in the bay
for that purpose.
The guncotton, 700 pounds of which
was used, was sent from Barcelona to
Admiral Manterola, commanding the port
of Havana, and was either stolen from
the magazine where the stuff was stored,
or taken away WIN the knowledge of the
officials in charge.
Admiral Manterola's records will un-
doubtedly show the names of his subordi-
mates who had direct control of the ex-
plosives, and in that way the identity of
the authors and eXecutioners of the plot
to destroy the Maine may be discovered.
