We like The Baptist. 1t suits the
people. We can generally understand
all it says or intended TO say by the
signs it's printers make, but now we
are at our wits end-we're exhausted,
We may interpret "Dr. Genabie," DR..
Venable, and "Willie Welch,' Willie
Webb, and "Yanty peoply," something
indefinite and irrelevant; but ortho-
doxy itself stauds aghast when we read:
"The soul, unclogged by human de-
ficiency or frailty, may bark, unre-
STRANGELY, in the full sunlight of
Gods eternal day." Bro. Bailey, where
are you at, and where will you appear?

Major F. R. Powell. one of the Oldest

Major F. r. Powell, one of the oldest
citizens of Canton, died last Friday
night from acute gastritis, at the age
of eighty two. Major Powell came to
Mississippi in the forties from North
Carolina and engaged in cotton plant
ing in Madison county up to the civil
wal, after which he went to New Orleans,
where he embarked in the cotton COM
mission business with W. r. Stewart.
He came back to Canton in the seven
ties and has lived there since. A wife
and four children survive him, among
them Judge Robert Powell and w. H.

! New York, New Haven u Hartford Z,O4 I
1t is surprising to some people to
find so many we'll known roads of the
East with comparatively small mileage.
The Boston q Albany is only 394 miles
long. In other words, the road that
unites The Hub with the capital of
the Empire State and is one of the
busiest and richest roads on the con-
tinent, is scarcely more than one-twen-
tieth as long as the Burlington Route.
The Fitchburg road, favorably known
not only in New England but all over
the country, is exactly 45S miles long,
and its mileage would have to be null
tiplied by seventeen to get within hail
ing distance of the mileage of the Bur-
lington. The Lackawana Line, which
has become widely known as a great
trunk line since western enterprise
came to direct its management, is less
than 1000 miles long, and might be
absorbed as branch line by any one
of the half dozen Western railroads.
Some railroads with but little mile
age have been endowed with uncom-
monty long names. The Beaver Mead
ow, Tresckow & New Boston railroad
has all of three miles of track built
and in actual operation. Some day
the superintendent of the department
of motive power and machinery of the
Beaver Meadow, Tresckow q New Bos-
ton railroad may take a trip over his
own line. stretching from Beaver
Meadow, Pa, all the way to New Bos-
ton, Pa, a total distance of twenty
one miles.
The Manitou and Pixies Peak rail
road the famous cog-wheel road as
cending Colorado's lofty peak, is nine
miles long, but if you tried to walk
the ties of this railroad, you would
think it had mileage of 900 miles
Ehe Cairo Railroad is four miles long.
and there is IA small road in the Cat
skill mountains which has a mileage
of two miles. The most popular
length of the nearly 900 American
railroads appears to be less than ten
miles. There are over 600 railroads
less than this distance in length.
There are many other interesting fea
lures which cursory examination of
the mileage of American railroads.
will disclose. But if you want to col
lect few bets from your friends, just
ask them to name the four longest
railroads in America. You'll win.

THE FOUR LONGEST

teresting Information.

teresting Information.
To the casual observer there is moth
ing fascinating in the appearance of
the ordinary Railway Guide. To him
it is a mass of figures, with names of
railroad officers and little bit of I'M
attractive advertising. That it contains
some interesting and useful informa
ton for the ordinary reader, as well as
for the actual traveller, was striking
ly illustrated by wager among a par
ty of men the other evening.
an bet you a new hat" said one
that you can't name the four longest
railroads in America"
81 can feel that hat on my head now.
/ may as well let you buy me a new
tile as purchase it myself" replied his
friend
The wager was witnessed by few
friends, and then a great guessing
tournament was inaugurated. If you
think this is such an easy matter, just
write down the names of the four
longest railroads in America, before
reading further or without referring to
guide. See how near right you
come. As rule nine out of ten per-
sons will miss it. Even we'll posted
railroad men occasionally go astray
on this subject, the common error be-
ing to place the Santa Fe system sec
ond, while as matter of fact, the Bur
lington Route passed the Santa Fe in
the mileage race and secured sec
ond place several months ago. In
point of mileage, the first four Amer
lean railroads are the Chicago Il
Northwestern, the Burlington Route,
the Santa Fe and the Canadian Pacific.
This information maybe had by any
one willing to look into a current is
sue of the Travellers Official Guide.
That so few persons can correctly
name the four longest American roads
is apparent proof that they do not
often see a railroad guide. Exclusive
of side and double tracks, the mileage
of the four longest roads if as follows
Chicago & Northwestern, S,346; Bur
lington Route 1859; Santa Fe, 7,71S;
Canadian Pacific, 1884 Most persons
guess the Pennsylvania and the South
ern Pacific as among the first four.
The Southern Pacific ranks fifth with
7,26l miles; then comes the Pennsylva-
MIA with 1908 miles.
The other railroads longer than
1000 miles follow in the order named:
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul --.6,4 400

In New York city, 10000 women
are working sweet life way for star
walton wages, and some hundreds of
thousands manage to keep body and
soul together on niggardly pay. They
form the so-called submerged truth"
In proximity to them dwell the Cup
per four hundred" who roll in mill
lions upon millions Of wealth, which
they know not how to spend; yet they
arc greedy for more. If their colossal
fortunes were gotten legitimately,
without injury to others, we could
have no reason to find fault. But the
fact is patent as the unclouded noon
day sun that in the main they are
the products not of legitimate, useful
industry, but of legalized robbery;
that they were gotten at the expense
of the flesh and blood of hosts of
human beings who earned them, by
their labor, for the nominal owners,
and who, in equity, not in law, have
at least some right to them; the
right to live in as much comfort as
the poodles and horses of the million
aires. There is no use in blinking
and winking at facts which are being
pondered over by the farmers and
laborers in every part OF the land.
Let us face the facts. Why murmur.
peace, peace, when there is no peace?
WITH frank brutality, London
paper said before the outbreak of the
South African war: There is a pile
OF five billions of gold in the Transvaal ;
on that pile sit 10000 Beers armed
with Mauser rifles; they refuse to let
us take that gold without paying them
for the privilege; that pile of gold We
are going to have; we are not going
to pay the Beers for it, and if they
will not let us have it, we are going
to fight them for it. That is the
issue in a nutshell" And that if not
