Patton. 1t was IL o'clock on a Saturday
morning. Mr.. Moody had suddenly changed
the plan of campaign for the following
week and he wanted fresh tickets ready in
time to distribute to his five thousand
workers who would assemble early the
next Sunday morning at he Z o'clock
workers meeting. Patton" said he, in
forming him of his change of plan. II want
$4,000 tickets (handing him copy ready for
the workers meeting tomorrow morning"
'Impossibler' said Patton. ''Why impossi-
ble?" asked Moody. Why replied Patton,
this is Saturday and 11-o clock. All the
printing establishments close down work at
noon to-day, and, even ii they did not, 3d..
0C0 tickets could not be prepared in half a
day" They argued the point n few min
utes and then Moody turned upon his heel
with the remark, Patton. ii must be DONE
Mr.. Patton looked biankly for a moment at
the huge retreating figure and then went
out of the room like a shot and in two min
utes he was in a cab tearing down to the
printing establishment. 1 do not know how
IT was managed, but the $4,000 tickets We're
distributed the next morning to his 5000
workers. Thus IL ever was with Moody.
Once i'm a critical time, during the early
building operations UP here, Mr.. Marshall,
his general superintendent, said that it was
absolutely necessary before the end of the
week that a large sum of money be had.
That afternoon Mr.. Moody took train for
New York. He came back the next day
with the money. He did not borrow IL.
Moody of all men I ever knew. could do
things, and he did them. AS l heard one
of his close friends only yesterday say,
He always got there" And Abraham
went forth TO go into the land of Canaan:
and into the land OF Canaan he came"
That was characteristic of Mr.. Moody.
What he went forth to accomplish, that he
accomplished.

of the country. Gold was extracted from
these mines by smelling, many furnaces
having been found, and alongside of them
ancient molds in which ingots were cast.
Several ruins have also been discovered in
Rhodesia, the magnitude and workmanship
of which proves that men of superior civil

years before us; to them are probably
due the ancient workings which are found.

VIII Be Awaited with Interest.
The question of the Seaboard Air Line
differential on business to the North and
East was not settled at the meeting of
the Conference Committee of the South
eastern Passenger Association held day
before yesterday in Atlanta. Until some
further action is taken the Seaboard will
continue to hold the advantage of the diff
ferential and it is possible that it may
never be removed.
This, however, is contrary to the views
expressed by representatives of Compel
ing lines. They believe the Seaboard will
have to raise its passenger rates to the
same figures at which its competitors sell
tickets The outcome of the efforts that
are being made to bring about this result
will be awaited with interest by railroad
men and the general public.
After considering the proposition to re-
move the differential on business to the
North and East from Savannah and At
lanta that the Seaboard now enjoys, the
Conference Committee decided that 1t was
a matter beyond its jurisdiction. Accord
ingly, the committee determined to refer
1t to the Executive Committee of the as
ISOLATION That body will probably take it
up at its next meeting.
Two or three years ago the other lines
to the North and East out of Atlanta de-
cfded to grant the Seaboard the differential
of 50 in order to placate it. The Seabeard
had begun to get business by scheme OF
its own, and the way it went at rates was
a caution. The disorganization that re-
suited was very distasteful to the other
lines and it was agreed to allow the Sea-
board the differential
BY some means or other the differential
has extended to-Savannah. Representa-
tives of other lines say this should not
be allowed. The claim is made that there
is through service between Atlanta and
the East and Savannah and the East now
and that the differential was only acceded
to because the Seaboard at that time had
no such service.

MOVING TEN cARs A DAY.
Railroads Now Hauling Quantities or
Vegetables North

Vegetables have begun to move from Sa-
vannah to the Northern markets in guam
titles. Railroad men say the daily move
ment is ten cars and upwards. With each
day it will increase for a couple of
weeks, as the potatoes will be dug for
heavy shipments. Quotations on potatoes
are we'll up now, and, if they continue so,
the farmers viii realize very good profits
on their crop. Potatoes form their prin-
cipal product, as a rule. and 1t Is under
stood that the crop is very good.
