that the Central has been sold to the
Norfolk & Southern, which owns a
network of lines in eastern North Car
DINA, with Norfolk as the main port.
Railroad men consulted in Rich
mond did not seem able to compre-
bend the report at first or to explain
the reason why the Norfolk and Sou
thern should acquire possession of a
system with which it had no CON
Meeting link. From Raleigh, N. c., to
which point the line has just been
opened, there are projected roads to
Augusta, Ca, and Charleston, S. c.,
the ownership of which has been
somewhat in dispute. The general
idea among them is that the Norfolk
and Southern will get control of the
road from the capital of North Caro-
lima to Augusta, there to connect with
the Central of Georgia, if there is any
truth in the report of the sale to the
Norfolk & Southern.

WAGON WAS STRUCK BY
A TRAIN ON CENTRAL
Narrow Escape at Ameri-
Gus Depot.

An accident which came near cost
ing the life of an old negro and his
two mules occurred yesterday at the
Cotton avenue crossing in the Cen
trail Railway yards here, the result
of a collision between a freight train
and a country wagon. The train had
come to stop, with the caboose near
the crossing, when the old darkey
driving, two mules to an empty cot
ton wagon, started to cross the tracks.
At the same moment it is said, the
freight train backed upon him. The
wagon and driver were upset and, to-
gether with the mules, dragged sever
al feet ere the signal to stop the
train could be given The old negro,
who lives on the Sim Allen place, was
bruised but not seriously hurt, though
the mules were injured to some ex-
tent That all were not killed out
right seems almost miracle. The
old negro was carrying home bunch

KENTUCKY PASSING
TO PROHIBITION
Rev. ]. |. Irwin Back From
Visit to Old Home.

Rev. ]. L. Irwin returned Thursday
night from visit to his old home at
Clay City, KY, where his parents re-
side. This was his annual visit to
the Blue Grass state.
kentucky is getting into the ranks
of the prohibition states" said Mr..
Irwin yesterday" Out of the 124
counties in the state 100 are dry.
Counties in which the larger cities are
located are still wet" but a town
under 10000 inhabitants where the
sale of whiskey is legalized is rare.
In the present campaign the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, Mr..
Hagar, is making prohibition the is
sue. He fayors the movement to abol-
ish the saloons. The Republican can
didate is said to be lodging the issue
with the hope of landing the liquor
men, though he also is after the anti
saloon voters.
The great majority Of the people
Of Kentucky are in hearty favor of
prohibition ] think it will come coun-
ty by county until the legislature fin
ally passes a state prohibition law as
Georgia has done.
"As to the motives for the crusade
against liquor in the home Of Bourbon
whiskey, they are largely the same as
here, except that the feuds among the
mountaineers cut something of a
figure. The negroes and laborers are
to be protected against liquor, both on
account of the homlcides and on ac-
count of the injury to labor. 1 should
also mention the growth Of Christian
sentiment, which looks on the traffic
with an increasing horror.
kentucky seems to be headed tow
ards being a dry state, strange as it
viii sound to those who know Of the
states reputation in the past as the
home of famous brands of drinks"

A SHOWER OF GIFTS
FALLS AT A PARTY
Unique and Pleasant 0CCa-
sion Here.

Quite an unique affair was that of
yesterday afternoon, when the ladies
of the Presbyterian church entertain
ed with kitchen shower" at the res
idence of Mr.. and Mrs. Becot, on Col
lege street. The occasion was in hon
or of the beloved pastor and his wife,
Rev. and Mrs. ]. L. Irwin, who, after
the first of November will be Eat
home" to their friends in their pretty
new home on Jackson avenue, the
handsome gift of Mrs. c. A. D. Haw-
kins.
Mrs. Becot was assisted in receiv-
ing by Mrs. Crawford Wheatley and
Miss Alice Wheatley.
Each article of kitchen furniture
was accompanied by card bearing
the name of the donor, and verse ex-
tolling the beauty and usefulness of
the gift. The Muse stalked abroad
with majestic mein, and quite num-
Der of unsupported poetess' were un-
earthed, much to their own surprise,
as well as that of their friends.
Russian tea and a delicious salad
course was served during the after
noon, and all present were unanimous
in pronouncing the occasion one of
the pleasantest of the passing year.

PURGING THE CORPORATIONS.

Events of the past few days in
Wall street have revealed conditions
at which the world of finance stands
aghast. Heroic measures were taken
by the New York Clearing House to
cut out the we'll known high fnan-
ciers" in their number, to the end
that their business might be render
! ed more secure.
When Thomas w. Lawson began
his attacks ON 'the system" in Every
body's Magazine two years ago his
disclosures were derided and looted
it. Stupendous as were his dis
closures of loot and robbery in high
| finance, both in the insurance COM
panies and in industrial conbina-
tons, his articles would be mild read
ing now if placed side by side with
| later developments. 1t was another
case where not more than half had
been told
President Roosevelt has also push
ed the war int othe camps of the loot
ers of railroads and added still fur
Their to the disclosures.
Turning on the light was the thing
most needed, and this has been done
so thoroughly that every one who
reads the papers is informed of the
movements of financial enterprises,
which formerly acted so secretively
that their doings were a sealed book
to the general public. This was just
what the managers desired and left
them free to carry on their schemes
unhindered.
But out of it all will come good.
Government supervision of corpora
lions will render such juggling as
marked the Chicago & Alton deal an
impossibility. Securities of semi-pub-
lie corporations will in the end be
more attractive to the small inves-
tor, who will be protected against
manipulators whose fayorite scheme
was to Greece out" the small inves-
tors and eat the whole pudding.
Once the patient has recovered from
his illness and honesty in the man
agement of corporations become the
rule, recovery in the prices of meri-
torious securities can be looked for.
The field of safe investment will be
thus broadened and the whole coun-
try will get the benefit
The day of stealing and loot in
high executive positions of great cor
porations would seem to be over. So
let it be!

COAST LINE SHOPS
SHUT AT MONTGOMERY
Probably Reopen Nov. |
With Smaller Force.

MONTGOMERY, ALA. October o.
-(SpeciaD-Following closely on
the reduction of force at the Western
shops, came complete shutdown
yesterday morning of the shops of the
Atlantic Coast Line in West End. The
closing of the shops was caused nv
a lack of appropriation. That was
the cause directly, but the cause Of
that was the drastic legislation and
great reduction in passenger and
freight tariffs in Georgia, Alabama
and North Carolina
Under normal conditions, the force
employed at the Coast Line shops
numbers something over 300 men, and
Master Mechanic Persall says that the
average monthly payroll was $4,000.
For some time past, however"
continued Mr.. Pearsall, "we have
been gradually reducing the force at
the shops, the monthly payroll be-
ing reduced $4,000. Now we are Or
dered to close the shops entirely, and
from today until November 1, they will
be shut down, with the exception of
small force to carry on the actual
operating necessities.
November LIST, I suppose, the
shops will be opened again, though I
have no idea that there will be the
customary force"

Causes of Troubles

THE financial conditions are at
tributable to some extent to money
stringency throughout the world. In
addition to this, the war on corpora
lions in general and railroads spec
ifically, has paralyzed the credit of
all the railroads in the country. This
had resulted in an almost unprece-
dented decline in railroad securities
and has caused a general suspension
in railroad development This has
reacted upon the industrial establish
ments of the country by reason of the
loss Of the demand from the railroads
for supplies of eevry character. The
reduction of forces and the curtail-
ment of output in many cases, and
the closing of osme estab-
lishments and the bankruptcy of
others, has created a want Of CON
fidence and even a general feeling of
alarm with reference to the
general depression and even
stagnation in all branches Of business
that is sure to come unless a change
takes place through which confidence
will be restored in railroad and indus
trial securities.

REPORTED SALE OF
CENTRAL STOCK DENIED
President Hanson Hears
From Oakley ThOrne.

Grave doubt has already been cast
upon the authenticity of the report
from New York that Oakley Thorne
has disposed of his holdings OF
the Central of Georgia stock. The
story was sent out by a news agency
connected with the New York Sun.
President Hanson, of Macon, on
Thursday received a message from
Mr. Thorne which says:
Absolutely no change in situation. -

son said: Il have no recent informa-
ton about a sale of the controlling

there of alarm, except as the result

nothing to be alarmed about.

Able to Avert Crash

The men in charge of the situa-
ton in New York will probably be
able to avert a general crash at this
time, but it is sure to come later on
unless political demagogues and agi-
tators are silenced.
There have been no crop failures
or other disasters to produce a pan
ic, and outside of the influences nam
ed, there is no reason why in a sea-
son Of the greatest prosperity the
country has ever known that conf
dence in all Of it's enterprises should
be destroyed"
