RaiIrond Fortunes.
From the New York Pres

From the New York Press.
Outside Of few vast fortunes made in
mining and commerce we must look to
the railroads for the upbuilding of our
aristocracy of wealth. More men have
grown big rich through railway corpora
tons than by any other know process Of
acquiring wealth.
jay Gould left a fortune of $4,000 600,
which he made by manipulating railroads,
not by managing them. Commodore Van
derbilt left 100000, 600 all made in rail-
roads. Over $S5 100000 of this went to
his son, William H, who left nearly $780,,
600, 900, the increase made in railroads.
Cornelius II left between 100000 and
800 100000. charging his patrmony by
railroads William Washington Nissan
Vanderbilt has made numerous millions
in the same way. George Gould inner
tied $15.OOOO00, and the additional $4,000, :
| 900 of his fortune was made in railroads.
Uncle Coils Pacific Huntington is sad
40 be worth $4,000 600; he made it mostly
in railroads.
Calvin S. Brice made handsome for
tune by railroad manipulation. The great
| fortune of Mr. j. P. Morgan was made
largely by railroad reorganzations. Street
railroads come under this heading. Look
at the immense fortunes of William G.
! Whitney. the Wideners. Elkinses Bradys.
| Ryans, Laws, Charles T. Yerkes and the
| magnates in the larger cities of the South
| and West. R T. Wilson made the bulk
! of his fortune in railroads The Dei9-
ware LaCkawanns and Western was Sam
| Sloans plaything. James ]. Hin is worth
| millions. President Cassatt Is worth &c.
| 600 O00-all made out of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Senator Depew may lay his
million to the credit of the New York
Central.
The Leland Stanford fortune was largely
made out of railroads. The Croker mil
| lions came from railroads The millions
of Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. William K.
Vanderbilt Jr., came largely from rail
roads Stuyvesant Fish's handsome com
potency came from railroads. The for
tune of Senator Eugene Hale came
through his wife from Zach Chambers
railroad investments and manipula ton
Col. John Hay. Secretary of State. is a
millionaire through his wife, whose for.
tune came from the greatest railroad mar
of his time-her father, Amasa Stone. The
| millions of the Winans family came from
railroads. United States Senator Month
ian is worth So, 000. 600; all came from rail
roads and their allies-steamboats. Sena-
tor Sewel is one of the millionaires OF
the upper house; his fortune came from
| railroads.
The list might be extended to fill col
umn. I have jotted down a few brilliant
| examples at random. Another comes tC
mind-the late John I. Blair believed tc
have left nearly $100,0O0O00. This vast &C.
emulation came from railroads. 1t 4:
strange that the men who make millions
out of railroads are never mere stockhold
ers. They are presidents, directors, chair.
men of the boards etc.

A. LETTER, Savannah Ga, writes:
For over twenty years / was the vic

made my nights miserable and my days
periods of indeseribable torture During

at the suggestion of DR.. j. b. Read, 1
went to Suwanee Springs, and after a
stay there of only three weeks l am now
completely cured of malady which has
been to me a lifelong curse. From the
remarkable success attending my case, 1

PAULDING OF LONG ISLAND CELE-
DRAFTED PIPPIN APPLE CIDER.

This pure cider is served on steamers on
the American line, and at the Waldorf-As-
toria and leading family grocers in New
York city.
Pauldings Pippin cider is made from
the pure juice OF hand picked apples from
his own mill Oh the premises. 1t is abso-
lutely pure apple juice, and all the effer-
vescence is natural, and we guarantee il
to be the choicest cider in the world
Leading physicians in New York and
Brooklyn recommend this cider to their
patients its perfect purity is guaranteed.
In Pauldng's Pippin cider, only Long Is
land Newton's PiDpins are used. The ap-
pies are left on the trees until late in Oc-
tober when they are hand picked and
placed in a dry room to ripen.
Paulding says "the apples are thorough
ly crushed in his own mill and the juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks" The difference between crushing
and grinding apples is very great
You will know the difference between
crushed app es and ground apples If you
take some stems and chew them you will
find that bitter taste which is not with
Paulding's crushed apples. This cider has
not the extreme sweetness OF the Russet
cider. and everyone viii find the Pauld-
'ngs Pppin cider just right to take with
dinner. LIPPMAN BROS,

AMERICAS AFFAIRS.
Peach shippers Not satIshed-COttOn
Seed Meal for Germany.

Amcricus Ga, July 29-It would appear
that the fruit shippers at this point had
suffered not little at the hands of com
mission men. to whom they have consign-
ed peaches. One who recently shipped
200 crates of fine fruit has received re-
mittance averaging 6 cents per crate. An
other who shipped a carload of fine FL
bertas is asked 10 remit $50 to cover
freight the shipment bringing only 1927.
while the freight was $2S7, according to
the statement of The commission man.
Local men think they have been badly
victimzed
Local warehousemen look for the first
new bale of cotton this week, unless rain
prevents picking. General rains have
fallen here for three days, and If con-
tnued will iniure cotton somewhat.
The Americas Oil Company has just
made shipment of s25 tons Of cotton
seed meal 60 Germany. the shipment net
ting a good price. 1t was sent via SaVan-
nah. and the cars made up a solid freight
train 1t is quite probable that the Amer
icus mill will make other large shipments
of this product, as great quantities OF
the meal are made here annually.
Farmers and merchants here are much
interested in the movement 10 obtain bet
ter prices for cotton, as proposed by the
Cotton Growers Protective Association
and che large meeting here yesterday. at
which addresses were made by Hon. Pope
Brown and President Harvie Jordan of

SPORT TO TEST MANS mETTLE.
Dangers That Face Moose Hunters
In the Woods of Maine.

From Forest and Stream.
There is no better test of what there is
of a man than to strip him of the conven-
tionalities and accessories of civilization
and leave him to his own resources in the
heart of a wilderness like that of Maine.
Some of those whom the world esteems
great and wise would starve forthwith,
while many OF those who live and die I'M
known to fame would wax and grow
fat" There is one denizen Of the Maine
woods that stands pre-eminent to al
others which claim the attention of sports
men-pTe- eminent in size, pre-eminent in
the uncouth grandeur of his gigantic bulk,
pre-emnent in the time, patience labor
and skill involved in his capture, and pre-
eminent in power to thrill the steadiest
nerves and cause the blood to flow In
quick. throbbing beats Ike quicksilver in
the veins.
The sportsman who has not confronted
bull moose in his native wilds has missed
an experience which is well worth the
best year of his life. l speak advisedly,
for l have been there. Imagine, II you

reared on great stilt-like legs to a height
of seven feet, with bristling name and
eyes which CLEAN viciously from be-
meath broad massive antlers which sway
with the huge head eight to ten feet

Imagine yourself standing, If you have
strength TO stand in front of this fright

heart throbbing so painfully that your
ears fairly ache with its pulsation, the

| pore in your skin while your brain labors
! in vain to regain control of the wild tu-
mutt which possesses YOU. Imagine all
| this If you can, and then multiply the
three million times, more or less, and you
will have "a result which approaches the
reality in magnitude. The man who sends

ping toward Denver from the Castlewood
dam, fifty miles south. The advancing
column is over twenty feet wide and fully
a mile in length. The dam has been
leaking for months. and the fall of water
in the reservoir is the only reason given
the strange migration Of the toads.
AT the present rate of progress the toads
will be here in abOdt five days. Hundreds
die along the road but the survivors hop
over the dead and continue their steady
