OLD JOE BELL IS DEAD.
Faithful Negro EmpIoye of Institute at
 Auburn.

Auburn.
 Old Joe Bell Is dead,
 The words mean little to some peo. pie. yet they spell pathos to over a thousand graduates of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. These men scattered abroad over the continent cannot lose the mental Image of the good old negro janitor of Auburn, the last darkey of the ante-bellum type in and around Auburn. perhaps,
 Joe Bell had been at Auburn for the past twenty-six years. Colonel Cham bers took him there to work for the college over twenty-siX years ago. He died Friday night of la grippe followed by fatal complications
 There is a little world of strife and business at college but every student and professor at Auburn yesterday in his heart uncovered at the news of Joe Bells death. There never lived a more polite. more faithful and more honest negro than this one.
 Every member of the faculty at Au- burn will say that Joe Bell, having oc- casiOn for twenty-six years to handle all the college mail, to do numerous money errands and hold In trust many valuable things, never in the entire period stole a penny or misappropri- ated one article. A grand tribute to a member of his race.
 It is needless to predict that his fu- neral today will not suffer for lack of attention and respect,

Plenty of Rolling stock.

By reason of having the equipment the Southern railroads are said to hold the key to the grain war situation be- tween the Atlantic Coast and Gulf roads. The. fight for this business be- gan a month ago, and the Eastern roads made the first cut in order to turn the movement of grain from the Northwest to the Atlantic seaboard. This cut was followed by a more radl- cal one on the part of the roads enter ing New Orleans and Galveston, and in tha1past few days something new has | developed almost hourly, says The Nashville American.
 Thursday the Gould roads created Q sensation by announcing a l00-pound rate of grain, and making that rate 10 cents per hundred from Omaha and Kansas City to Galveston. New Or leans and Memphis. This has com- pIetely demoralized the situation, and the Eastern roads find themselves un- able to meet the rate.
 A prominent railroad official in Nashville gives what he believes to be a correct explanation of the situation. and explains the case in the statement that the Southern railroads are the 0nly roads in the country that have sufficient cars to handle the grain business with a profit.
 uG TAlIEOAuS OL the south nave never been as well equipped as they are this year." he said. and by hay ing the equipment they hold the key to the freight situation. The South ern roads would have handled the bulk of the grain from the Northwest, even If they had not reduced the rate. for the Northern and Eastern roads are short of cars. Nearly every rail- road in the South increased It's equipment last year. expecting a phe- nomenal fertilizer and lumber business. Instead of increasing as expected, that business has decreased. and all the Southern roads now have more cars than they can use. In the case of the Louisville and Nashville. the Nash vtlle, Chattanooga and St. Louis. the Southern. Central of Georgia, Illinois Central and the Gould roads. each road has more surplus cars than they have had With a physical advantage to begin with, their command of the great Southern ports and having the cars, these roads are having no trouble In getting all the grain they can handle"
 Other high officials in Nashville say that the Southern railFcads have 90, 900 more cars than they had in 1904. and with the equipment they propose to make the Northern and Eastern roads bow to them. The Illinois Central is prominent factor in the situation, end has the assistance of all the Southern roads in securing the grain business of the Northwest The Gould roads which enter Galveston and New Orleans are also leaders in the war, and having several North and South tines with a large amount of eouIp- ment. is also making trouble for the

The Soaboard Air Line and Southern Railway have come to the parting of the ways so far as passenger business Eastward is involved, the latter road refusing to sell tickets In connection with the Seaboard points beyond Att Ianka-
 Heretofore a ticket could be bought over the Southern to Atlanta and from Atlanta via the Seaboard to Washing ton and other Eastern points. If the rails of the Seaboard are to be used from Atlanta 1t will be necessary to buy new tickets in that city for the Eastern points.
 Tn speaking of that matter C. F. Stewart, assistant general passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line. says:
 q have no idea any counter action win be taken. The action of the Southern was expected. It was GUS tomary. It is true that 1t will work to our temporary disadvantage. but we will soon have a through service from the West, I know nothing. either, of the rumor that several other roads identified by friendly relationship with the Southern will inaugurate similar steps,"

As indicated by our heading, the
Journal changes hands with the
current issue. The change in man.
agement, however, implies no alter
alton in the policy of the paper. 1t
will continue strictly non. partisan,
clean. wholesome, and non-section-
al. 1t will contain the news of the
whole county and nothing will find
place in it's columns that a child
may not read. Ithas attained pres
tige by the justice and impartiality
of it's views and its idols are still
more to be exalted. And above all
it will remain a household newspa-
per rather than a political organ.

With this issue the good will, sub
scription list and plant passes from
our control into the hands of the
Lancelots, in whom we have every
confidence in the world in being
able to make the Journal the best
paper in the county.
In laying down the pen as editor
of the Journal, we do SO with re-
luctance and regret. The many kind
nesses OF the people, the good will
ever shown US and the consideration
tor our personal success, that has
ever been manifest, have ever been
keenly felt and appreciated by us.
We feel proud of the success of the
Journal, under our management,
but count that success due to the
support of an efficient and faithful
office force and the many kind
words and support OF friends of the
paper.
Realizing that we would some
time leave this field tor some other
and that thanks" on paper seem
cold and formal, we have tried to
live our appreciation by keeping
the columns pure, that they might
be read by young and old and hold
ing to ideals that build up rather
than tear down. The policy of the
new firm, we feel sure will be contin-
ued in these lines, and we hope and
trust they will receive the same
steady support and liberal patron
age we have enjoyed in every line.
Our hope and ambition has been,
with the help of the readers of the
Journal, to push it's circulation to
three thousand, and 1 now leave it
in your hands to help it's present
managers, who have the same am.
| bition and desire.
So with regrets at parting from
our friends and supporters, in this,
our boyhood county, and with
thanks for their hearty support and
good wishes for the Journal in the
future, we are. CIV. MARLIN.
