I0PPENHEIMER ON
WAYNE COUNTY.
Says His Associates in the Big Land
Deal Are Waiting on the Pitts
burg Capitalists to Settle the
Railroad Question.

New York, March 17.-Henry Open
helmer, President of the international
Commercial Company, who has lately
been in Nashv lille and Wayne County,
Tennessee, looking over the large
timber tract formerly owned in
Wayne County by the Tennessee Valley
Iron and Railroad Company which he
negotiated for his company with the
Pittbsurg syndicate mat owns the
land, said today in an interview that
everything as yet was in obeyance as
to plans for clearing the timber off.
Mr. Oppenheimer will go South the
latter part of this month. He said:
''We are doing nothing at present.
as we are waiting the action of the
Pittsburg capitalists, who own all the
land and the mineral deposits. which
are very valuable. We do not care to
butt in until they have first settled
the railroad question which is a nee
essity to them and not to us.
sit was a mistake to state that
this company, or as their representa-
tive, was making any effort or CON
Quoting any negotiations with the
Louisville q Nashville, the Southern
or any other railway line to enter
this territory. In fact, l did not ne
gotiate with any railway officials nor
did even see any while in Tennessee.
It is not our matter; we have little
interest in it, as we can get all the
water transportation for the timber
and trough lumber into which we will
work up the logs at our own mills
right on the ground, from the Tennes-
see river, less than fifteen miles from
the tract. However, we have told the
Pittsburg syndicate, owners OF the
ground and minerals, that if they devel-
op the company and can get the railroad
or railroads to come to the tract, we will
guarantee a certain amount Of freight
each year till we get the timber off
II cannot tell when we shall begin
to cut the timber The Pittsburg
capitalists are just in tne syndicate
stage, having never organized COM
pany for developing the property.
They will likely do so this year or
may perhaps sell to some company who
will begin the development We have
the timber in any event on our contract
and are only waiting their completion

Soldiers Are Well Shod,

In the German army the soldier on
the march wears high shoes or boots
and never a stocking, but in its place
the 'foot-rag" of linen in which the
foot is wrapped. Great care is taken
to fit the foot perfectly with a COM
fcrtable boot, and am told by an off,
Ger of the German army that trouble
with the feet is almost unknown
among their soldiers. In our own
army during the civil war there was
much giving out Of the troops on ac-
count Of the men becoming footsore
Since then, attention has been given
the feet and the shoes by the surgeon
general and the quartermaster gener-
al of the United States army. Now,
man must have sound feet to enter the
service. and then they are required to
take good care OF them. After an in
spection Of the latest pattern Of the
marching shoe, one is easily con-
yinced that the men OF our army are
the mcst comfortably shod of any
class of American citizens.-Susie

MIR. J. r. LIE HEw's DEATH.
The Tragic End Of the Life of a Popular Rail-

Of the late John l.. Stone, who for :; life
time faithfully served the S. 4. L. as an
engineer. This was one of the happy mar
rages of the world. No woman ever had a
truer or more tender and loving husband.
Never irritable, always gentle and con-
siderate of others. He was especially SO
towards his mother and his wife and the
heartfelt love and sympathy has gone out
to those two loving hearts who have re-
ceived such a previous and cruel blow.

five years ago. Began his railroad life on
the Baltimore and Ohio in Lexington, Va.
There were five of the LIE Hew boys and
all are railroad men and all have been

Mr. LIE Hew left the s. A. L. a short
time ago and went to Summerset, KY,

coming him in our midst.
The hour of the funeral has not yet
been determined and will be announced.
