patches varying from the size Of a pea

crease in Net Earn

President Finley Firm Be-
lever in Future of
the South.

The preliminary report OF the opera
tons Of the Southern Railway Company
for the fiscal year ending June 80. 1907.
shows a satisfactory Increase in gross
earnings. something more than S3.00g. 900.
but an increase in operating expenses
of nearly S5.0OO.J00. with "a decrease in
net revenue Of about 100000.
One OF the chief features Of the re-
port OF President w. W. Finley is found
in the discussion Of the industrial
growth Of the South. Today this sec
ton 6 smelling more than one-half it's

cloth and garment more than One-ffth
OF fits cotton. while in all other indus
trial lines there has been enormous
growth.
System Has Been Improved.
That the operations of the railroad
company nave not resulted In a net In
crease In proportion TO >the gross gain
is not due so much TO the increased cost
Of operation. to which President Finley
calls special attention, as to the fact
that improvements and extensions OF
tie Southern system have been expen-
sive and vet without their proportion
ate addition to the revenues for the

VIII be forthcoming. Construction work
has been in the line Of double tracking,
additional yards, and new trackage.

President Finley, that this benefit VIII
more than offset the fixed charges when
the new facilities are put into opera
ton, as they viii be during year
South Needs Railways.
As indicative Of the necessity for ad-
ditional transportation facilities in the
South. President Finley says. Great
as are the burdens upon the operation
of a railroad today, by reason Of the
Increased cost Of material Of all kinds
ard the unab0ting expectations Of labor
on the one hand. and legislative reduc-
ton Of revenue and increased taxes on
The other, the crying need Of the South
is more track. more equipment and
more terminal facilities.
With the strategic position and
established relations Of the Southern
Railway Company, there would be ne
stint in the amount Of traffic it could
OBJ; din and probably handle. If IL had
the facilities necessary to afford TO
those who offer traffic the services they
demand"

the year totaled Sl,2y0000. The in

President Finley, while protesting
against some of the impOsidons Of GER
