Tribute to the
Late Samuel Spencer.

The Mobile Register pays the fol-
lowing tribute to Samuel Spencer,
president of the Southern Railway.
who was killed in a wreck on Thanks
giving morning near LynchSurg, Vir-
ginia:
The news of the death of Samuel
Spencer, president of the Southern
Railway, is a great shock to the bust
ness and transportation world, in
which he was one of the most promi-
nent actors. Mr. Spencer's remark
able career as a railroad manager was
comprised in period of little less
than twenty years, but was Napeleonic
in the swiftness and extent of its de-
velOpment. At the time of his death
he was president and director of the
Alabama Great Southern, Cincinnati,
New Orleans and Texas Pacific. South
ern and FLORIDA, Mobile and Ohio, and
the Southern Railway, and director of
the Central of Georgia. Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul, Erie, Northern
Pacific. and other corporations. He
conceived and accomplished the con-
SolidatIOn of the many railroad COM
panies that form the Southern Rail-
way Company, and made that consoli-
datiOn commercial success He had
genius for big things and carried out
his plans in a big manner: yet. per-
sonally. he was such q man as would
hardly attract attention in a crowd,
being small of stature. very quiet and
Self-contained and not at all salf-as-
Sertive Il was his well-ordered in
tellect that dominated everything. He
was a strong writer and a forceful
speaker; he always knew the subject
he had in hand and there was no
guesswork in his calculations. South
ern by blood and education, he pre-
served always the Southern manner,
was never brusque, or. as the saying
IS, absorbed in business" but was
ready To meet any man, high 4" low,
even the humbleSt workman, in
frank and friendly manner One would
never accuse Samuel Spencer of gloat-
ing over his immense power or seek
ing TO use that power for his personal
advancement. but rather was he OBJ
pressed by the immensely of the re-
sponsibility resting upon his shout
ders, and the feeling that. do what
he would, he could not bring his
achievements for his companies up
to his ideals.
There are many here who personally
feel the loss of a friend and associate
and will never forget his unvarying
kindness. his gentle vet firm touch

upon business affairs. and his whole
hearted devotion to the South and the
interests of Southern people. 1t will
be remembered that he lnaugurated
the policy of land development pc
euliar to the Southern Railway, and
was the instrument in making glad
waste places of country that had
been devastated by war.
Not yet sixty years of age, he has
passed away leaving record second

Spencer was a credit to his Southern

Demand Has Doubled.
The Revolver,

The revolver is Of dubious service in
war. Its only function there is as a
cavalry weapon. Indeed. it is an evo-
luton Of the medieval purpose to pro-
vide horse soldiers with firearm. In
the cavalry the weapon is effective
only up TO fifty yards. It has no value
for hunting. The average man can do
more execution on birds and beasts
with q slingshot. The only purpose
which the revolver serves is to kill
another man. and even for that pur-
pose its usefulness is overestimated.-

Can't somebody send Milton a Sing

such celestial creature who wants to
make a barrel of money doing our

to handle 'washee' in an up-to-date

would put in a laundry here, or if
some Chinaman would go into the
business. we would keep in our town
much money that now goes out, and
the service would be more satisfac-
tory"

General Jewell.
The election of General William H.

Veterans by the Gainesville reunion

General Jewell stands for the highest
type of the Confederate veteran and
he has a real enthusiasm for the or
der of which he is now the official
head in Florida, which is an example
to all of his comrades. 1t is worthy
of note that this battle-scarred SOL
der of the Confederacy is native
of Massachusetts and that at the be-
ginning of the war, finding himself a
citizen of the south, he deliberately
made his choice as a matter of prin-
ciple and entered the Confederate
army where he became conspicuous
for his courage and devotion. His
comrades cannot do too much honor
to such a man.-Ft.. Pierce Tribune.
