Surplus available for dividends Sill, $40
cit appears, therefore, that the Seaboard
Air Line has shared fully with the other
roads in the great increase in business
reported for this year. The gross earn
ings for the month show an increase OF
nearly 16 per cent, and the net earn
ings an increase of over 80 per cent.
This is as great an increase as any large
system in the entire country has re-
ported for this month. In the analysis
of the Seaboard Air Line in the last
issue of THE Financier" it was shown
that the average operating percentage
for the three years previous to the con-
solidation was 72.40 per cent. 1t was
stated that all consultations had as
their aim the reduction of operating eX-
penses, and the conclusion was drawn
that the operating expenses during the
current year would not take up over
sc 2-3 per cent. That this deduction was
not far from correct is confirmed by
the January statement, which shows that
during the first month of this year, when
the full force of the economy incident
to consolidation had not become effective
the operating expenses were 67.S per cent
a decrease of nearly per cent. 1t was
also stated IN the SdIlie dudlJolo IHe''

board Air Line would show at the close

January statement shows $111,346 earned
during this month available for dividends.
This is equal to O.6 per cent. earned upon
the preferred. At this rate for the year
4 per cent will be earned upon the pre-
ferred and 80 per cent. upon the common.
It is reasonable, however, to expect
small decrease in the average or the
operating expenses for the year under

MR. MACON's LETTERS.

1.-THE Congressional Career of Nathaniel
Macon" by Edwin Mood Wilson, reviewed
in these columns a week ago is a mine OF
interesting facts in the life of the State s
first son. Mr.. Wilson gave the Congress
sionel career with fulness and fairness.
Quite as valuable as Mr.. Wilson's work.
and throwing more light upon Mr.. Ma
cons North Carolina history are the
Notes. embracing "A pages, by Hon. K.
p. Battle, LIZ D., upon the letters of Mr..
Macon and Willie P. Mangum, which con-
stitute most valuable part of the mono
graph. The State owes a debt of graft
tude to DR.. Battle and Mr.. Wilson, and
also peculiar debt of gratitude to Mr..
James Sprunt, by whose liberality the
monograph and notes were printed.
Dr. Battle has collected large number
of Mr.. Macons letters, which are brief,
epigrammatic and wise. Prefacing his
notes, DIR. Battle gives a short biographi-
cal sketch of Mr.. Macon. AS a rule, in
his letters Mr. Macon makes brief allu-
sion to pending public questions. In
statement of the question at issue and
the position of the two parties. His COM
ments invest the letters with an interest
that is often wanting in the private let
ters of public men written one hundred
years ago. There is no man in North
Carolina who could have done the work
more North Carolina history than any liv-
ing man. but has done no work more need
edf and more priced than his notes in
this monograph.
1t is we'll known that Mr. Macon always
pronounced his name as if spelled Meek
ms" Looking for. reason. Dr. Battle
says: n can conjecture no reason for
this other than his opinion that it sound
cd more Democratic and American.
The limits of daily paper prevent
many quotations from Mr.. Macon's letters.
One extract from letter written to
Bartlett Yancey in 1918 is timely. He
wrote:
Il am well pleased that you are ap-
pointed judge, and ardently hope, that
you will not in that character attempt to
split hairs, that criminals may escape,
but look plainly at the offence, and go
fairly for the fraud; let right and justice
be your guide, and the Lord will prosper
your way; so that you shall be blessing
to the people and an ornament to the
State. A righteous judgment exalted
Daniel and truth placed him next to the
King, though he was of the conquered
nation"
: Every Judge ought to have these words
containing the wisest counsel, ever before
his eyes This admonition if followed by
all who wear the ermine would give to
the bench that respect and position al
ways accorded it, when the judiciary is
composed of men who follow the precepts
SO clearly stated by Mr.. Macon, whose
chief characteristic was that he could
compress more wisdom in a few words
than anY man of his day.

WRo SECURED THE MOL PROS,

The Democratic registrars, who had
been arrested by Judge Boyd and District
Attorney Holton because the Republicans
lost the election at their precincts last
year, will be glad to be saved the expense
and annoyance of a trial. They know,
however, that the act of the Legislature,
authorizing the Governor to employ
counsel to defend them, turned the
prosecution into one against the State
of North Carolina and they felt compare
lively no uneasiness after the whole ma
chinery of the State Government inelud-
ing the revenues, had been invoked to
secure their acquittal of the political ac-
lions for which they stood indicted The
act of the Legislature almost guaranteed
their acquittal. 1t positively guaranteed
that Boyd and Holton were prosecuting
the State in their person.
For the mol pros" which saves the
annoyance of the trial, the registrars are
chiefly indebted as follows:
/. 10 HON. LOCh6 OIdlS VIM tAIIOuuSSd
the resolution of impeachment
2. To the sixty members of the House
who voted for the impeachment resolu-
ton.
8. To the Board of Managers who
pressed the trial for conviction, and to
the attorneys in the case and the 10000
Democrats who stood for impeachment.
1t is to these three agencies that the
registrars owe a debt of gratitude for
bringing about conditions that enabled
Mr.. Osborne, Mr. Caldwell and Mr.. Long
to secure the mol pros from the Repub-
lican officials If the Legislature had not
passed the act authorizing the Governor
TO employ counsel to defend the regis
trars, and if Mr.. Craig's Impeachment
resolution had not passed the House, we
would have witnessed the continued perse
cution of the registrars which Boyd and
Holton, with the malevolent sanction OF
the entire Radical machine, set in mo-
ton last fall.

new vice president of the Seaboard Air
Line, Mr.. Barr, will receive salary of
$4,000 per year, says the Norfolk Vir-
ginian- Pilot. He has held responsible
positions and nothing but big salary
could land him.
President Williams is authority for the
statement that the board of directors of
the Seaboard Air Line unanimously APP
prove and indorse the course and meth
DDS of Captain McBee during his occu-
pancy of the position of general mana
ger, and have nothing but praise for him.
He is also authority for the assurance
that there will be no shake up under the
new general manager, and that no
changes beyond Mr. Bars election are
intended. Efficiency and faithfulness will
be the only tests for employees.
The people of Raleigh are deeply in
terested in the plan to extend the road
from Raleigh to Angler on to Ellington.

NEW SCHEDULE TO BE MADE

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. March "a -(Spe-
ciaL)-President Hickey, of the West
ern league, has rejected the sched-
ule drawn up by Mr. w P
Chase. OF Des Moines, for the coming
baseball season, and has commenced the
work of formulating new one. Ii wi l
probably be finished by the last of the
week, and after receiving the sanctiC n
of the magnates will be made public
President Hickey positively refused to-
night to say what changes would be
made OR to permit any part of it 20 be
given out until it had been passed upon
by all the club owners
President Hickey declines to give his
reasons for rejecting Chase's schedule
and in reply to queries simply says that
it is impracticable. Probably the most
serious objection to the Chase schedule
Is that it so arranged the games that the
railroad fare of the clubs would be far in
excess of what it should be. In certain
Instances he has given but six games to
each club ia series, whereas in the line
OF economy the number should be ten
or twelve.
Another serious objection is in the ar
rangement of the opening games. Ac-
cording to the Chase schedule they would
nearly all be played in the northern cities
of the league. This is not according to
custom or financial ideas. The first
games should be played in the south end
of the circuit, where the weather is
warmer and large crowds are assured
Mr.. Chase had placed opening games In
both st. Paul and Minneapolis, where
the weather is likely to be very unfa-
vorable for baseball when the season
opens.
