New York, March 22.-ln con-

syndicate to carry through the
24O mile extension to the Atlantic

Montezuma, Ga, to Birmingham,
making a through line from
Brunswick, on the Atlantic coast
to Birmingham, director OF the

the Frisco interests, represented
by B. F. Yoakum, had secured
control of the road.
A banker conversant with the
situation said today that the facts,
as he understood them, we're that
Mr.. Yoakum was sharing por-
ton of the underwriting taken
by T. Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., who
is said to have taken one-thlrd OF
the three million of underwriting.
The Frisco two years ago
bought the Birmingham Belt Ry,
a line circling and entering Bir-
mingham, so that, if through Mr..
Yoakum it's chairman, the'Frisco
becomes interested in the Allan
tic & Birmir CHAM, it will provide
for the Rock Island system a
friendly outlet to the Atlantic
Seaboard. It will be recalled
that before the purchase of the
Frisco, a Rock Island director
said that the road would never
rest until it had dipped its nose
in the Atlantic ocean,"
This ambition was supposed to
lie behind the 'Frisco's acquisi-
ton of "a voice" in the seaboard,
a step which was later, partially,
at least, retraced.

at the business he undertook,
aud not person in this section

he wrote and got it, rugged up a
small house, installed a crude

peaches, the market value OF

venture retted him something
like 100000. He had no trouble
in finding a market,and next year
will double his capacity, perhaps
treble it. Besides the peaches,
numbers of cans of tomatoes
were also put up. x Mr..
Ellis did this work himself. He
hired not single person outside
his own family. When he had
canned all his own fruit, he Of
fered to can his neighbors' for
half; consequently they, too,
saved much which would other

next season is a good one, chanc-

With the bridges and railroad

prove incorrect. For two days
