/ two important systems may be made
/ advantageous to both, but ii an at
| tempt is made to interfere with the free
| interchange of business between the
| Louisville and Nashville and its pres
! ent connections. such policy will b.
followed in due course by the construc-
| ton OF new railroads into the Louisville
| and Nashville territory and the build
/ ing of such additional mileage through
out the South. Such additional mileage
| can undoubtedly be built for less than
One-half the cost per mile of Louisville
and Nashville, figuring on the basis
which it is stated has been paid for its
/ stock. I assume. however. that the
friendly relations which have hereto
fore existed between the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad and its several con-
nections viii not be interrupted. 1t is
certainly the desire of the Seaboard Air
Line TO maintain cordial relations with
both allies and competitors. l do not
know what arrangements were made on
behalf Of the Southern Railway with
the owners of the Atlantic Coast Line
in connection with the sale of the
Louisville and Nashville to the Coast
Line interests, nor do / know whether
there is any truth in the report which
has reached me 10 the effect that a Sc
cret offensive and defensive alliance
has been entered into between the
Southern Railway and the Atlantic
Coast Line covering a period of years.
" 1t is certain however that moth
ing has been done and nothing win be
done which will affect adversely the
earnings and business of the Seaboard
Air Line system. The lines of this
system now ramify seven Southern
states, extending from Baltimore in
the North to the southern limits of
Florida in the South, and to Montgom-
cry and Birmingham, in the Southwest.
The business of the system at the
present time is limited only by its ca
pacity to move the freight which is
offered to it, and these conditions will
not be interfered with by any action of
connecting lines"
Morgan Won't Talk.
New York, Sept pa member of
the firm of J. 2. Morgan e Co, ex-
pressed surprise at the tone of Mr.
Williams statement with regard to the
attitude of the Seaboard Air Line in
the matter of Louisville and Nashville
and Atlantic Coast Line negotiations
No action or course hostile to the Sea-
board Air Line was contemplated he
said, though the Seaboard was not con-
sidered factor in the present negOtia-
tons
Further than this, however, the firm
of Morgan & Co, was not prepared now
to make any statement in the matter
The member of the firm interviewed,
said he was unable to find an explana-
ton at the time for Mr. Williams at
titude.

CHANGES AMONG POLICE.
A Itumor That Sergeant BauGhn
Would Lose His Desk.

Rumors were on the streets yester-
day of changes in the police depart
ment that were to take place i'm
mediately. 1t was said that Sergt.
Baughn was to be made quartermas-
ter officer Joe Kelly, the present
quartermaster, was to be made bar
racks officer, and Mounted Patrolman
Thomas Murphy was to be given the
night desk, which Sergt. Baughn was
to vacate. This is the substance of
the rumors.
Supt. owen Reilly was asked about
the reports last night, and said there
was nothing to them. There had been
an idea of making a change, he said,
on account of Sergt. Baughn's eyes.
These have been troubling him for
some time, and the physician has rec
commended that he use them as little
as possible, and as he has the night
duty there is inevitably a strain upon
them. AS quartermaster, he would es-
cape this, his presence being required
at the barracks only during the day.
On the other hand the tour of duty
would be twelve hours instead of eight,
as is the case with the desk sergeant.
1t was not to be considered as any
thing but a change, the superintendent
said, and did not reflect in any way
upon the officer. 1t was not to be a
reduction, but simply change for his
benefit. The matter had been submit
ted to him and he had declined to
make the change, the superintendent
said, and that ended the matter.
The sergeant was asked about the
proposed change and said that there
was nothing at all to be said. He sim
ply had told the superintendent that
he preferred keeping his desk and did
not think there was any need to make
the matter public at all. He had been
talking with the head of the depart
ment and had nothing to say further
than that there would be no change
so far as he knew

THREE WANT CONTRACT.
Power ~ Co. Lowest Bidder for
Work Mt Mackey's Point.


Work at Mackey's Point.
Proposals for the work of construc-
ton and repair to be done at Mac
keys Point, near the south channel
of the river, were opened yesterday at
noon at the office of Capt. Cassius E.
Gillette, engineer officer in charge of
this district. The bids were as fol-
lows:
Samuel w. Skinner, Wilmington. N.
C.-BrQsh. $1,000; stone, $780, miscel-
laneous, $1,6S9; total, $9SS9.5O.
Egan, Smith & Co., Jacksonville.
Fla.-Brush, $500; stone $6,120; mis-
cellaneous, $1,175; total, S, 795.
D. Power q Co., SaVannah-Brush.
$1,000; stone, $4,000; miscellaneous, 1916;
total, $6.046.10.
The work to be done involves repair
to the existing training wall and some
additions to its extent. The purpose is
to deepen part of the channel by
diverting the flow of the water.
Capt. Gillette has not returned from
Portland, Ore, where he has been a
member of a board of engineer Off
GERS that convened at that point and
the bids will await his return to the
city before a recommendation to the
War Department will be made. 1t is
altogether probable. however, that the
contract will be awarded to Power &
Co., whose bid is $3.50 less than that
of their nearest competitor.

SUFFOLK SENDS
A GOOD REPORT
Only the increasing Scarcity Of
Labor Has Hampered Farm
ers and Manufacturers.

Especial Dispatch to The TimeS.)
SUFFOLK, VA, December 27.-Not In
a decade has Suffolk been so prospe: o s.
Indeed. some tradespeople aver that bust
ness was never so good. There was a
healthy activity In all lines Of industry
a demand. especially among the manu-
featuring plants, that was hard to sup
ply.
Practically the only thing that limited
the output was the lack OF more labor.
The four peanut plants, for instance
have been rushed with orders that wou
tax their capacities, even under the best
conditions, but their inability to get
their quota Of employees in some tnstarc
has Contracted the quantity of the clean
ed product.
The scarcity Of labor on the farms Is
even more pronounced than In the fac
tories. and that is yet unsolved prob
lem, which promises to more and more
tarass the planters as 1aborers en1Srate
or get more means and embark in bus!-
ness on their own farms.
Notwithstanding the richness Of the
harvests and the paucity Of the laborers,
the farmers OF this county and section
are perhaps, in better shape than during
the present generation.
Some OF the enterprises inaugurated or
Improved in Suffolk this year are a
stove plant, car repair shops, meal
mill. addition to Suffolk Peanut Com
ranv's plant. another storage house at

Suddenly he slapped his hand to the

was the warm blood he felt for when he
removed his hand it was red. Something
had struck him a sharp blow on the back
Of the skull, but what it was. was the
question.

residence of Mr.. Larus. where he was
treated Later on. he went to his home
No. West Main Street. Two physicians
DR.. Taylor and Dr. Dunn-were calle5
in and after a careful examination both
came to the conclusion that the wounH

by bullet. The missile did not lodge
in the scalp, but struck a glancing blow
