WONDERFUL RAILROAD MAN
AGENENT.

Seven years ago the late Or. Cassatt,
then president Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company began a vast sys-
tenn OF improvement and increase of
facilities Of his system of roads. The
work was completed last year. The
result is that road is not hampered
with freight blockades as is almost
every other railroad in the country
Mr.. Cassatt seems to have forese:n
coming conditions and set about pre-
pairing for them in time. His la5ors
have borne fruit in the wonderful in
crease of the freight business of his
company. This work, which was map
| ped out in 1900 and completed last year
amounting almost to a rebuilding OF
| all the roads composing that great
| company cost five hundred million dol
lars, one hundred million Of h:ch
came from the earnings of the rad.
| Besides raising that tremendous sum
of money in that short space OF time
the not only maintained its
former rate of dividends but increased
it from five to seven per cent. THIS
condition was brought about by the
immense freight and passenger traffic
of the road and the wonderful increase
through the expenditure Of the sum
mentioned. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company operates less than five per
cent. of the total mileage OF the COun-
try yet it carries twelve per cent. OF the
total passenger and freight traffic,
Comparison Of the reports for 1904 and
1906 show how great was the increase
of it's business in the two years. Dur
ing the latter year; which marked the
completion of its work OF improvement
and enlargement Of facilities that road
hauled 80, 1913, 720, 900 tons of freight n
mile, compared with 25,131,49 900 for
the year 1904-an increase in two years
of 1880, 600, 600 tons. To give some idea
of what these figures mean, they are
compared with those Of some other
big railroad systems During last var
the combined figures of the Union pa
cific and the Delaware and Hudson rail
roads amounted to only 7,135,363. 900
than the increase on the Pennsylvania
roads in the two years. This means
that if those two big railroad systems
had been added to the Pennsylvania
they would not have brought to the
parent road during last year as much
business as that of the latter had in
creased in the last two years.
What is more remarkable han this
increase of business is the
fact that the company a able TO
handle it without such congestion as
is seen on almost every other road in
the country. This means that PTesi-
dent Cassatt saw seven years ago what
was coming and made preparation in
time, while the other roads waited
until the strain was upon them before
taking measures for relief.

proceeding. In fact, We do not remem-
Der hearing of such a case before the
negro from Marion county, South Car
DINA, was taken to Fayetteville and
then on TO Raleigh for fear Of lynching
by a party of South Carolinians. This
case was governed by no statute, but
by a higher law invoked to save life
and to prevent a serious crime from be-
ing committed. But for the prompt
action Of North Carolina officials ouc
sister state would now have another
lynching recorded against her. The
negro has been taken from our state
penitentiary and is now III the state
prison at Columbia.
