We have several inquiries as to the
value of lightning rods as protection
to buildings. Frankly we do not know
how much they are worth. For our
selves, we carry insurance to the sum
of two-thirds of the value of our build
ings and had rather trust in the Lord
for the other third than monkey with
a lightning rod agent.

Hon. R. L. Bradley In Second.

The official returns given out
by the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee shows that Hon.
r. L. Bradley, of Jackson. lead
the ticket for the position of
Railroad Commissioner of the
First District and that he will be
in the secOne primary against
Maj. McInnis, of Meridian.
1t looks as if Mr.. Bradley will
have no trouble in defeating his
opponent. Maj McInnis has
been in the Office a number of
years and the sentiment favor
ing rotation is against him,
while his administration has
been largely in favor of Meri-
dian to the exclusion of the larg-
er interests Of his district and
this will operate against him in
determining the second race.
Mr. Bradley has a large number
of friends in this city who re-
joice in his first victory and who
hope he will prove victorious IN
the second.

To Enter BirminQham.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Aug. 10
1t is learned on high authority
that the Illinois Central railroad
will be running trains into Bir-
mingham not later than October
/ and probably before that date.
The trains will come here over
the tracks of the ST. Louis &
San Francisco railroad from Alb
erdeen, Miss, about 1870 miles
distant from this city. A con
tract between the two roads has
been signed to this effect. so it
is stated. 1t is understood in tn e
same connection that the Illinois
Central has abandoned for the
present the idea Of building to
Birmingham from point on its
main line near Jackson, Tenn.
All the surveys for this propOs-
ed line has been made by the
way of Sheffield and rights of
way were being secured, when
an agreement was reached be
tween the Frisco and the Illinois
Central. The agreement involves
the entrance of the Frisco into
New Orleans Over rtrtain Illinois
Central tracks, So il said, in
return for which Cen / comes
into Birmingham over the Frisco
tracks. In this connection the
Birmingham city council at its
next meeting will be asked to
permit the closing Of certain
streets west of Eighteenth street
and north Of avenue A in order
that the Illinois Central. the
Frisco and the Seaboard Air
Line may erect freight depots
and etablish freight yards in
that part of the city. The Frisco
will locate a new depot on Pow
ell avenue and Eighteenth street.
The Seaboard depot will be in
the same vicinity, and the three
roads together will spend up
ward Of three-quarters of a mil
lion in freight yard terminals.
There viii be a very close rela-
tionship here between the three
lines. The Frisco owns the Biz
mingham Belt railroad. and this
property will operate especially
ia the interest of the three lines
named. The Illinois Central, as
evidence Of the plans as outlined
above. has already established a

Columbus, Pensacola and Memphis
Railroad.

The announcement contained
in another column that the ILL
nois Central Railroad had effect
ed a traffic arrangement with the
Frisco system whereby the lat
ter 5 tracks would be used from
Aberdeen into Birmingham indi-
Gates beyond a doubt that the
efforts of the Illinois Central to
get into the Magic City over
their own line will be terminated.
1t means more. 1t means that
the Canton & Aberdeen branch
of this road, which has been re-
garded as a branch, will be put
in fine condition and all Of the
advantages of this great system
will be extended to this section.
1t sets at rest for a long time the
threatened building Of the branch
across the northern end of our
county into Alabama and renders
all the more imperative a con-
nectiOn between Columbus and
this great system.
This connecting line will be
built in the road from this city
to Aberdeen which has been
chartered by local promoters
and which will be taken up at
once. Already efforts are being
put forth to get the route sur
veyed, and once located the work
Of securing the right Of way and
other grants necessary for the
construction of the line will be
undertaken. This line means
everything to Columbus. 1t will
give US connection with the Hi
nOis Central and the Frisco sys-
ten, two of the largest railroads
in the South and will insure for
Columbus fully one third of the
enormous freights shipped to
this city over both the Southern
and the NJ. & o. and it will place
this road in a position to handle
almost exclusively the enormous
shipment of grain. meats etc,
from the great Northwest.
1t will solve the local situation
admirably, giving US direct con
nection with New Orleans, Mem
phis, st. Louis, Cairo, Kansas
City and Chicago and will secure
for the vast commercial inter
ests of Columbus and Lowndes
county railroad competition with
systems which cannot be merg-
ed. bought up or pooled and con
trolled.
To the people of the county it
means everything. 1t will ira
verse the country between Co
lumbus and Aberdeen and will
give them direct rail connection
with both places. 1t means an
enhancement in the
value of farm property north of
us and the development of the
vast timber and agricultural in
terest of the Bigbee and Butta-
hatchie. For this reason the peO-
pie Of the county as well as Co
lumbus should sustain the eff
forts of those who have gone into
this project. 1t is feasible, thor
oughly practical, is easy of con-
struction and it means that Co.
lum bus will greatly increase in
population, material wealth, com
mercial Importance and will de-
velope into a great city.

HE DIED POOR
A Story Suggested by Another Told BY
Carnegie and the TWO Show a
Contrast In Character. ..--,
BROOKLYN Eagle.

DTOOhlyIl IkdSlS. q .
Andrew Carnegie is reported to have
said that some years ago he wanted to
cross a mountain in Pennsylvania and a
youngster offered to take him over for SO
cents. MT. Carnegie thought the price
too great, but, after long argument paid
it, mot because the trip was worth It," as
the story goes, but because had to get
on the other side Of the mountain Mr..
Carnegie adds: II predicted that the boy
would some day make a fortune. and he
has His name was Charles M. Schwab."
That reminds me of a story. Years ago
a young man owned the only woodward in
a prairie town out west. He had goodly
store on hand when heavy SHOWS came
and blocked the roads. For weeks no
wood could be hauled to the town, yet the
young man went on selling at his regular
price Of $2.75 a cord. A friend said to
him that he could get IS as easily. because
the people must have wood. The young
man said he knew 1t, but that he was
making fair living profit. So he con-
tinued to sell his wood at the same old
price: Everybody predicted that he would
always be poor, and he is, God bless him!
Never mind his name; you wouldn't know
it If YOU heard It; but is a synonym Of
human love and tender sympathy through
out all that prairie country.
