The Picnic season.

With the men of the mechanical and transportation departments of the diff ferent railroads. the picnic season is the all-absorbing topic of conversation.
 It will not be very long before the an- nual picnic of the Order of Railway Con- ductors. and that of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will be held These two Ipicnics are annually the most import ant events in the local railroad world. Besides the members of the organisations. their wives, daughters or sweethearts, a legion of friends pack the grounds, for the O. R. C.s and B. l.. Els have more friends than anybody in Montgomery. and to be without a ticket to those two pie nics leaves one in an unfortunate condi- ton.
 Last summer the management of the Western Railroad gave to the mechani- cal department one of the handsomest picnics of the season. Two special trains. generously donated by the management, left the Union Station. one for the white employees going to Tallassee and the other for negro employees going to Whitehall. The picnic under the great trees and on the banks Of the beautiful falls of Tal- lassee was the greatest success ever given around Montgomery. and most of the credit was due to Master Mechanic Walsh and his chief clerk.

RAILROAD MERGER
HITTING IH SAvAlf1aAR TO

Believed That the rsnnsylvania oys- tenn is to Control the Plant Property and the Atlantic
 Coast Line.

One week from next Monday-May l2th-- there will be e meeting in Savannah of the Plant System, the object being to per feet the final details for the merger of the Plant into the Atlantic Coast Line Sys- tenn. The transfer or merger will take place on the 1st of July, but The Adver- tiser hears on reliable authority that the Atlantic Coast Line figures In the matter only In name
 The Pennsylvania system. 1t is said. is really the purchaser of the piece of prop erty that has gone to pieces 90 rapidly since the death of H. B. Plant. Two ex- cellent reasons are given for the action of the Pennsylvania system. one of which is that it wants all the territory 1t can get hold of in the South, especially ports. to keep pace with the possible building of the Nicaragua Canal: that 1t may get a long haul in the United States and ship to the Orient by way of the ca nal. Another reason is that t is trying in every way possible to head on and block the Gould system. and it is said that the Gould people will be forced to build from some point in West Virginia to Portsmouth, Va, in order to reach an Atlantic port
 It will be highly interesting to watch the future developments of these copsoli- dations, though. of course. 1t will prob ably take . eooa ionG time to get at the real milk in the cocoanut.
 Two days after the meeting in Savan- nah--on Wednesday, May 1lth--a special train will bring into Montgomery the head oficials of the Plant System. At- antic Coast Line, and some of the Penn- sylyania system magnates. They will spend one or more days here inspecting the local property of the Plant System, and possibly something else of importance may develop.
 This much seems to be pretty positive, however: the Atlantic Coast Line Is merely a figure-head in the Plant deal. and 1t would not be much of a surprise If the Coast Line Is not under the doniinat- ing eye of the Pennsylvania system. It looks like the lines are drawing closer in the great community of interest plan. W
