SOUTHERN RAILWAY REPORT.
The Southern Railway Company has
issued its annual report for the year
ended June 80. 1t shows gross earnings
to have increased 81, 800, SCI, or 1l.49
per cent, and net earnings SAB, 1872, an
increase Of 4.34 per cent. Total income
increased 1886, 260, and a balance Of
SO, 707, All is shown for the year. From
this, one dividend on the preferred stock
of 81, 800 600 was paid, and an equal
amount reserved for the dividend pay
able in October, leaving S707, All to be
carried to the credit of profit and loss.
This is a decrease Of 81, 1913, 420 as COM
pared with 1902. The balance to credit
and profit and loss is now IS, 1852, 56l.
The increase in operating expenses for
the year was SO, S92, 70S, or l4.37 per
cent. OF these, conducting transporta-
ten eest 81 81 624l , 943, or about 60 per
per cent. of the total increase in gross
earnings for the year. The increased cost
Of fuel accounted for % per cent. of these
increased charges, and 81, 3773l1, or 80
per cent, was in cost of train, station aud
terminal expenses, due partly to increas-
ed wages and to increased cost of mater
ial. To the gross earnings Of S42, 354, e.
0j9 for the year passenger traffic contri-
buted $l3, SOS, 277, an increase Of 1875
per cent. over 1902. Freight traffic con-
tributed $2S,0Sl, 03f, an increase Of
11.67 as compared with the previous
year
President Spencer says that, while the
increase in gross earnings are large, they
could have been exceeded if equipment,
yard and shop facilities had been equa
to the demands upon them, aud the net
results would have been much improved
if congested conditions had not been the
rule.
In conclusion, President Spencer says
that industrial growth throughout the
southern States served by the company
has continued during the year in most
satisfactory and encouraging way. The
number of new industrial plants complet-
ed during the year was 735. In lumber
and other wood enterprises more than
100000 was invested and 1000, 900
acres were sold to northern and western
purchasers for investment.

RESTORATION OF OLD POHICK
CHURCH,
From the Southern Churchman.l


Mr.. Editor: am sorry your cor
respondent, "F. NJ d." who writes in
the Southern Churchman of September
u, did not call on the rector of the
church or on DR.. n. B. hewitt before
sending. his or her letter. 1t seems to
me if this had been done this letter
would not have been published at all.
The work of restoring Pohick church
was begun with one objectin view-yiz.,
to make as complete restoration as pos
sible, consistent with the comfort of the
congregation. A competent architect
from Washington, d. c., was employed.
Mr.. II. II. Dodge, superintendent OF
Mount Vernon, who had had considera-
bic experience in repairing colonial
buildings DR.. n. B. hewitt, who "from
a child has known this church" and
other competent men, are on the build
ing committee. The four hues, which
your correspondent is pleased to term
''sat Shakers" were put up by the adj
vice of Mr.. Glenn Brown, the architect,
and are a reproduction of the dues on a
Colonial church in the city of New York.
The roof is as near a copy of the old one
as It could be made. Now, Mr.. Editor,
in place of finding fault with the work
already done, | wish your correspondent
would send Us fifty dollars $50 to help
lis to restore the pulpit, sounding board.
the historic pevs marked G. W., and
&c, &C., &c, and to put the tile in
aisles, all of which work we hope to DO
when we get the money.
Yours Respectfully, E. NJ.

A story of a stork Is told by q
German paper. About the end of
March, 1891, pair of storks took
up their abode on the roof of the
school house In the village of Pop
penhofen. One of the birds ap
peared to be exhausted by Its long
journey ard the bad weather 1t had
passed through. On the morning
after Its arrival the bird was found
by the schoolmaster lying on the
ground before the schoolhouse door
The man who, like all Germans
considered 1t a piece of good luck
to have the stork's nest on his
house, picked up the bird and tooh
1t indoor. He nursed 1t carefully
and when 1t was convalescent used
every morning to carry 1t to the
fields a short distance from the
house, where Its mate appeared
regularly at the same hour to sup
ply 1t with food. The stork IS now
cured; ard every evening 1t flies
down from the roof and bravely
walks by the side of Its friend
from the school house to the mead
ows, accompanied by wondering
crowd of children.

No one can have any reason for
dissenting from the particulars and
proofs which follow, for veri6cation
of the same Is within easy reach Of
every resident of this vicinity.
That Doan's Kidney Pills promptly
and effectually cure kidney COM
plants Is substantiated not only In
this particular case, but by all who
have given them a fair trial. Tes
timony likewise shows that you do
not have to take them indefinitely
to be cured.
Walter McLachlin, a machine
hand, employed at J. Holiday &
Sons planning mill, Wheeling, w.
Va, address 3o32 Jacob street, says;
Had not used Doan's Kidney
Pills when I did I would not be
alive now. I was In a terrible con.
dition, and although I took quarts
of medicine I got no better, but
worse. Friends spoke of my bed
appearance and thousands knew
about 1t. 1 could hardly get around,
and looked like a dead man more
than living one. Doan Kidney
Pills were a blessing to me, half a
box relieved me, three boxes en-
tirely cured me and now I feel as

 With pleasant weather this week at Savin Rock will be one of the most in- .teresting of the season. It will open with a double balloon ascension this af- .ternoon by Professor Flowers and one of his able assistants. This ascension was postponed from last week owing to the rain, the management at extra cost getting the American Balloon company to prolong it's engagement here rather than disappoint the public, which has shown keen interest in the exhibitions. Ascensions will also be given to-mor- row. The evening flights are brilliant affairs. Instead of riding the balloon down, as on the previous engagement, the aeronauts now cut loose and de- scend by parachute. The course of the balloon is followed by brilliant display of red fire which the aeronauts burn in their flight. The ascef1ts are rnaryels of daring, and should not be missed.
