CassaIt.
When he became President of the
Pennsylvania in I8oa following the
death of Frank Thomson, the eastern
railroads were cutting one another's and
their own throats in a wild war for
freight traffic. This was especially true
as regards the coal business. A traffic
association, formed by the railroads to
put stop to the warfare, having been
declared illegal by the courts and subse.
quently dissolved, all the railroads in
question were at a loss for a way in
which TO end the suicidal struggle.

later he was given like position with
the Pennsylvania, with headquarters at
Altoona. Less than two years and half
after this he was made General Superin-
tendent of the road, and little more
than a year later, following the leasing of
the United Railroads Of New Jersey, he
became General Manager of all th=
Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg. He
was the FIRST to hold this Office and as
such he was stationed in Philadelphia,
the home of the Pennsylvania, for the
ESst tlnM.
One of the things he did as General
Manager was to aid in the establishment
Of the through passenger car service be-
tween different cities, even where several
roads have to be used. On his own
road he introduced the track tank, che
of the devices that makes the flyer"
possible. He also equipped it with the
block signal system and hammered into
the roads thousands of employees that
discipline and politeness for which they
are justly famed.
In July of 1874, on the death of Presi-
dent J. Edgar Thomson, Mr.. Cassatt got
his reward in promotion to Third Vice
president, Six years later, when Colonel
Thcrsss A.. Scot, th. famous war rail-

HENRY WHITFIELD
Great Educator Announces for
Governor.
WOULD MAKE A GOOD ONE
A Rankin County Man of Whom We Feel
Justly Proud-A Brilliant Career
as State Superintendent of
Education.

Within the next week the formal
announcement of Prof. H. L. Whit
field, state superintendent of educa-
tion, as candidate for governor Of
Mississippi will be made.
The statement is made on authority.
Prof. Whitfield admits that he expects
to make his canvass before the people.
This information gained publicity
among the members of the legislature
today and awakened great interest
around the state house. 1t gives the
gubernatorial campaign new aspect
and adds another complication to what
promises to be the most memorable
contest in the history of Mississippi
politics.
That Prof. Whitfield will be a SER
ious contender for the place is gener-
ally conceded. His strength is uni
versally admitted, and his influence,
especially among the masses and in
the rural precincts, will be most
potential factor in the gubernatorial
campaign. During his incumbency
of the Office Of state superintendent of
education, covering portion Of the
McLaurin administration, all of the
Longino administration, and two
years of the present administration,
Prof. Whitfield has waged relentless
campaign for the improvement of the
rural school system, and incident to
this campaign he has formed an ac-
quaintance with the people of the
state that is perhaps more extensive
than that Of any man now holding a
public Office in the commonwealth
This fact alone gives his candidacy
for governor an aspect of significance,
and means that his claim for the
Office must be given due consideration.
Henry Lewis Whitfield was born
June 20th, 1868, near Brandon, Miss /,
He is the son of Robert Allen Whit
field and wife, Mary Elizabeth Whit
field. His paternal ancestors came to
America from England and settled in
North Carolina about 1910; maternal
ancestors came to America from En-.
gland and settled in Virginia in the
latter part of the seventeenth

LOST, AN OLD LAW SIGN.
II Marked the Republican Pasty's Birth
place IN Connecticut.

Hartford. Conn, Sept. 2s.-The Oldest
law sign in Connecticut, owned and
treasured by ex-Lieut Gov. George G. Sill
OF this city, is missing. Since 1854 the sign.
which read George @. Sill. Attorney at
Law" had hung outside Mr.. Sill's office in
the Francis Building on Main street.
Mr.. Sill looked on the old sign with affec-
ton. In the first place 1t was the gift OF
his father, who with great pride presented
it TO him just after he was admitted to the
Hartford county bar in October, 1854, two
years after his graduation from the Yale
Law School.
1t was the most pretentious sign Of the
times, measuring three feet long by two
feet wide and costing $50. The letters were
carved into the wood and gilded with genuine
gold leaf. SO that although it had done fifty
years service il was still fairly bright. It's
a sign such as cannot be made these days
and hats one OF the reasons that Mr.. Sill
il willing to pay a reward for its return.
Then the associations OF that sign en-
deared il not only to its owner, but to many
citizens of this city. On February 4, 1885,
in young Sill's Office Joseph r. Hawley
Gideon Welles, John NJ. Niles n John
Hooker held h meeting at which the Repub-
hcan party in Connecticut was born. Later
il was underneath that old sign that Sill
presided over the first meeting hat Lincoln
ever addressed in this State. Nearly all
the prominent law yers Of the present day
in this city studied In that law Office.
But even with such a history the sign
did not inspire respect in the rang Of painters
who last week attacked the Francis Building
to give it a new fall coat. When Mr.. Sill
returned from his luncheon the first day
OF the onslaught his old friend was one
where's the old sign?" he anXiously
asked OF the workmen.
Dunno" replied an industrious painter
as he slapped on some paint with his brush.
1t broke in two when we started to paint
and it's zone on the dump"
Can l get it back?" anxiously inquired its
owner, but the only reply was a dubious
shake Of the head.
Once in his Office, Mr.. Sill at ouce or
ganized a searching party to scour all the
city dumps in the hope OF finding the re-
mains OF the faithful old sign.
