The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1907-09-05

An automobile and a hack collided
last night after midnight on Louisiana
avenue at Crockett street. The auto
was being driven by L. L. Campbell.
The hack, the property Of Kelly Bros,
was in charge of Will Young, colored,
driver, with whom was seated Henry
McAlpine, a negro.
This accident or collision is not sur
prising. The wonder is that they have
not and do not occur hourly night and
day, as some automobilists are not only
reckless but disregard every law, writ
ten and unwritten, designed as safe
guards and protection to human beings.
There are two versions of this col
lision. One is by the owner of the
auto, L. L. Campbell, who has been in
the city court for fast driving. He al
leges that as he turned out of Crockett
street and was going up Louisiana, his
auto collided with the hack, which was
without lights, and on the wrong side of
the street. He stated that he was going
lat no greater speed than seven miles an
hour, if that fast.
The hack driver, Will Young, said in
substances that he was coming down
Louisiana avenue Mr.. Campbell turned
and ran right into his hack. He did not
blow his horn and was going at fast
speed. McAlpine's statement was in
substance as Youngs.
Officer Johnson stated that he was on
Milan street and Louisiana avenue
when he heard the crash of the collision.
He fastened to the scene. He saw the
hack partly wrecked. One of the horses
of the hack was seriously injured. The
auto was damaged The two negroes
Young and McAlpine, complained Of
having been hurt. There was one light
OF the carriage burning, the other light
had been knocked off in the collision.
Mr.. Campbell claimed his auto had beer
damaged about $500.
In the hack were two passengers who
escaped injury One Of the passenger.

THE GERM OF DIVORCE.

Atlantic: Marriage is woInan's work
in the world-not mans. From what
ever point it is vieweI, physical or spir-
itual, as question of civic polity or a
question of individual ethics, it is her
specific share Of the worlds work-hrst,
last and always; allotted to her by laws
far stronger than she is. And the won1-
an who fails to recognize this and ack-
nowledge it has the germ of divorce in
her veins at the outset.

FOR FEDERAL VALUATION

1t almost trenches Oh thefidiou
Gus TO think Of the railroads fav-
'oling government valuation Of
their properties. But 1T seems
that it is what they are coming to.
Roosevelt luck again. This is
the third if not the fourth fine
that the railroads have changed
base ard come to favor TIE policies
that the President proposed after
first declaring that they were ruin
Gus radicalism. This change Of
heart is very simple and easily
explained. When the President
first proposed actRaF valuation Of
the railroad properties, the roads
were afraidit would depress the
paper value of their securities, III
other words, squeeze out some OF
the water. Now the question OF
water in railroad stocks is relative.
Some of the securities are heav-
ily watered, and that there is no
denying. Others are watered COM
pared to what they originally cost
the roads, that isto say, land values
have increased till the roads are
good for Il much heavier valuation
than when they were first built.
But The scheme for federal val
nation aims not SO much at scaling
down tie price at which the roads
now value themselves as to fix Il
fair valuation ;nd prevent the in-
slecvion of u larger-a1d moro un-
reasonable amount of water. Th re
4ls some assurance that this va lua-
ton would be on IL fairly equit-
'aole basis, and the railroads were
opposed to i TIL they found that
the state legislatures were going
ahead on their own account and
making valuations Of the railroads
within their borders Four states
'have,alreadv done this, aud six
more are preparing to do so. This
scared up the railroads managers,
and they are now saying that one
federal valuation will be lesser
evil than IS slate valuations. SO
-bey have switched to the Presl-
dent plan again. And perhaps
he is smiling quietly, bat if SO he
is rot saying much about it.

AtIanta's New Certificates

In many cities the banks are stand ing together by using their own clear ing house certificates to settle debit balances in their respective clearing houses. Neither the depositor nor any other individual sees or handles such certificates. They are bank matters, to be used by the banks in their deal ings with each other. They stay at home to be transferred back and forth until they are redeemed.
 But Atlanta comes forward with an issue of $2,000000 in certificates guar anteed by seven banks, and these cer- tificates or notes range in denomina- tion from $5 up to $500. They are in tended for general circulation-for use as money.
 The bank that applies for any part of the $2,00OO00 issue must furnish good collateral. There is really no doubt about the soundness or value of the new Atlanta currency, and it Is only the audacity of the departure that makes it at all significant. It is some thing new. No other clearing house has issued notes to go into circulation The Atlanta notes are to be used wher. ever Atlanta does business. A mer chant in Birmingham may expect to be confronted by the new notes any day. There is not much law behind them, but they have behind them seven Atlanta banks, and the good faith ol all concerned, and that is quite enough.

Holdinq Cotton
enough.

Hoarding cotton is as bad as hoard ing money, provided the hoarder Is offered for his staple fair and just price. Cotton spots are tending up- ward, but at present the farmer can not get 10 cents for middling cotton. The world may as well accept the fact that the southern farmer will not accept less than 10 cents for his cotton this year. Owing to replantings in the spring the crop could not be econon ically made, and the farmer is c, pelled to draw the line at 10 cep
 A very large amount of cottL
 withheld from market this year. It estimated that in Texas alone 1000 poo bales is held for better prices, and in other districts of the cotton belt the farmers are holding back as many bales as their resources will permit.
 All appreciate the value of cotton at the present time in inducing gold i'm ports, but it is not reasonable to ask southern farmers to accept less for their cotton than it costs to make it.. They will not do it, and the foreign spinner may as we'll accept the fact now that he cannot get the cotton Ee needs below 10 cents. How much he will have to pay above 10 cents re- mains to be demonstrated.
 The holding back of cottop for sat. isfactory prices is fast becoming the favorite policy on southern farms, and it is policy that will be tcted on to a greater extent this year than ever before.

When the eggs have boiled the length of time in dicated on the dial the wire basket in which they have been resting automat- ically rises from the water
 Motors drive the sausage-malxing ma chinery, the meat chopping implements, the vegetable macerating mills and the dish-washing machinery.
 To do the latter work, the dishes are piled on huge, perforated iron trays by the scullerymen. These trays are picked up by trayeling cranes, swung over a great tank and lowered into boiling, soapy water, into which jets of steam are con- stantly shooting. When the dishes are thoroughly cleansed they are hoisted out of the tub and put in another, where steaming hot water rinses them They are then placed on the drying table, where a dozen or more men dry them.
 The spits on which the roasts are cooked are turned by electric machinery, ana there are electric chahng dishes hot water heaters and coasters and broilers.
 Several decks below the chef and his kitchens and assistants, there is a small but unseen army, constantly toilng to please the fastidious diner busy scraping awaS. at carrots and beets when they are not pAying potatoes. of which barrelfus are used on shipboafd.
 When one meal is finished everything is cleaned up and put in readiness for the next. Kitchens and pantries are washed down first with soap and hot water and then with the hose. So perfect is the kitchen ventilation that. although about five meals day are served on shipboard. sensitive passengers are never bothered with cooking odors.
 Working in an almost freezing temper ature in the cold storage room is the butcher, who supplies the cuts of meat demanded by the chef; then. too, there is the pastry cook, the confectioner the baker, and down among the vegetables are a score of men and boys.

Tennessee-to-GuIf Convention

On November 19 delegates from five states are to meet in this city to dis cuss and formulate a water transpor- tation problem. The Age-Herald is glad to see that ex-Mayor Van Hoose is turning his energies and experience and persuasive skill towards the gath eringe of a representative convention. He is the one man that fthe district must have in this movement.
 The time is fast coming when every waterway will have to be improved in order to relieve the railroads. Rail- road men see the situation aright and they are supporting the waterways movement. The splendid river sys- tems of Tennessee and Alabama should be utilized, and that is really the prob lem that will be brought before the approaching convention.
 The Mobile Register says the com ing convention will be the most inn portant gathering that has taken place in the state in many years as an agency for the states development. It is somewhat unfortunate that the date of the convention has made it the last among such gatherings to be held in the south. but there is an advantage in the greater length of time afforded for organization. All parts of Alabama are interested in the convention, and they should combine to make it successful Mobile is especially interested, for the development of the waterways means a very large addition to the commerce of Alabama's only seaport. The de- mand for steam coal will give this port the supremacy of the gulf when tide water communication is established with the interior coal fields. Mobile can then put coal aboard steamers at one-half the cost per ton in other gulf ports."
 But the convention should not be considered wholly an Alabama affair. It should be broadened to include all of the southeast, and the situation in East Tennessee should be especially considered. Let us hope East Tennes- see will be well represented in it.

Jamestown Exnosition.

There is talk of continuing the James, town exposition until next summer, or rather of reopening it in the spring" said N. $. Farrar of Virginia. now visiting Birmingham. "The exposition closes De- cember l. Every intelligent, patriotic per son who has visited the show since it was completed has praised it. The ad verse criticism heard at the start was deserved. It was too bad that people were invited to see the show before the exhibits were in order or before the government pier-the grandest electric dis play ever seen. in this or any other coun- try-was ready.
 But now that the Jamestown eXposi tion is up to the standard promised, it would be pity to close it until the pub lie has an opportunity of seeing it in it's completed state. The attendance in the early part of October was fairly good, but it is small now. If it were reopened in May I believe crowds would be on hand"

Greater BirmInuham

On Monday, January 6, the people of Greater Birmingham will vote ives" or mo- on the proposition that the people of this valley have cherished deep down in their hearts, To, these many years. It is indeed fortunate that this proposition to get together for the common good was not tangled up with the bitterness of the prohibi- tion issue. It has nothing to do with that issue, for that covers the entire county, and consolidation of popula- tion in one city government makes no one a bit wetter or bit drier.
 The King bill proposes that those who live and work and dream in one valley shall be united in one munich pality in order that they may stand before the world in their true light, and in order that they may have all the advantages that go with city of over 100000 population.
 The truth is, the King bill is so slow in it's course districts are beginning to seek annexation under the more ex- pedifious new municipal code, and it would not be surprising if good share of the task should be accomplished under the latter,
 The King plan is leisurely to q limit.
