Did His Best.

A young lady at summer hotel
asked an artist friend, who was spend
ing bis vacation there, if he would
mind doing small favor for her.
Certainly not" he said eagerly
"what is it?" ~
"Thank you so much" she exclaimed
greatfully. 81 wish you wonld stop at
Mrs, Gannon's little shop and get three
large bone buttons, the kind with two
small holes in them. They're for nv
new bathing suit you know. Just tell
her who am and it will be all right
You needn't pay for them"
Now the artist was bachelor. and
had never bought anything but collar
buttons before. So on the way to the
store he kept repeating the instructions
that he had received Eager to relieve
MS mind hernshed up to Mrs. Cannon
and reeled of this surprising speech ::

Not that Much Difference.

A Southern negro, who had decided
to get married. asked his employer
who had business at the court hohse.
to procure him the licence, but forgot
to tell him the name of the bride to be,
The employer thought the matter over.
aud finally decided on the girl Sam had
been waiting on. When he got home,
and handed Sam the license he re.
marked about not being told who was
to be the bride, and that lie had inser.
ted the name Lucinda.
"Lowd, MASTER" exclaimed Sam. 1t
amt Lucinda. It's Kyarline. What'd
dat licence cost?
When told that it had cost the sum
OF Sl.75, and that it would cost the
same amount to have it changed. Sam
thought the matter over few moment,
and remarked: "Well, massa | done
axcd Kyarline, an she said, 'Yas,' but
dere amt no dollar an seventy.five
cents difference in dem two, so I'll

Pure Food Law.

The pure food law, known as
the Burns bill, passed by the last
legislature, went into effebt January
1. 1t resembles the federal law
and Food Commissioner Bailey
expects to cooperate with the fed
eral officials in its enforcement,
says the Oregon Daily Journal.
The law provides that the commits
sioner shall have power to make
certain rules and regulations govern
ing the sale of foods.
The law protects dealers from
prosecutions where they have been
sold adulterated food by wholesalers.
By aid of the federal authorities
the guilty parties can be aprehended
when they are located in cities out
side of Oregon.
The new law provides that butter,
groceries and all foods must have a
label stating the actual ingredients
and the percentage of each con-
tained in the food.

West lines there is an outlet to Gulf
port. .-,
II will also be noted that just North
Of Panama City there lies over
thousand miles. of this System's lines
without one leading to the Gulf. 1t
is not generally known that it is less
than go miles from the southernmost
point on these lines to the greatest
deep water harbor on the Gulf Coast,
that of st Andrews Bay.
With such possibilities as this mag
nificent harbor affords in the way of
accommodating the traffic to and
from the Panama Canal, and the TO
be created commerce with the west
coast of South America and the isles
of the Pacific, such far seeing man
as Mr. Hartman has proved himself
to be will not be long in availing him
self of an extension of his Southern
Lines to this port, or possibly securing
equally as valuable terminals through
the purchase of lines already built, or
building.
His Texas lines are connected with
Gulf ports at very close distances;
the same conditions from a railway
stand point that made profitable such
connections are reproduced in this
portion of the Lower South, and will
necessitate the building or acquiring
of the short line necessary to connect
his vast system in Alabama and
Georgia with this marvellous port.
Nor is the Hartman System the
only one that will forestall the needs
of the future, in the way of Gulf
terminals, in connection with the
assured commerce that will be
brought about through the completion
of the Panama Canal, and on the
ample borders of st Andrews Bay,
the largest and best deep water harbor
on the entire Gulf coast, prepare such
terminals as this enormous prospec-
tive traffic will demand.

The Albany Road.

Messrs Bruton and Legg appear to
be carrying on quite telegraphic ex-
ploitation of their proposed road from
Albany, Ga, to Dyers Point, Fla, as
several dispatches have been sent
out from Albany recently painting in
glowing colors what has been accom-
plished toward getting bonds issued
before the line has even been started.
The following lengthy dispatch was
sent out Nov. 7th. A previous dis
patch stated that the Carnegie Trust
Company, of New York, were TO fur
nish the money. This one says they
have signed the mortgage. This is
quite an unusual thing for Trust
Company to do. The PILOT would
like TO see a railroad built from AL
bany to St Andrews Bay and believes
that such line will be built, but i!
takes little stock in building roads
through telegraphic exploitation.
"1here has just been filed in the
! Dougherty county court house mort
gage which on its face seems to be {
long step forward in the construction
of line of line of railroad from Al
bany to the Gulf of Mexico.
The mortgage is made by the Geor
gia, Southwestern & Gulf Railroad

Aarecent number of the Manufac-
turers Record had a most interesting
account of the Hartman Lines, illus
trated by a full page map, showing
how they crossed anx recrossed the
continent from Ease to West and
North to South. Through courtesy
OF the Record the PILOT is permitted
to reproduce that portion of the map
which shows these lines that are
south of a line running west from
Norfolk, and east OF the Rio Grande.
1t also lays before it's readers the Re-
cords article. That paper says:
'If there should ever be combina-
tion of the various railroads in which
E, II. Hartman ig now interested
The merger WOULD accomplish the
formation of practically one vast rail-
road system from the Atlantic ocean
to the Pacific ocean and from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico as
shown in the full-page map presented
in this issue of the Manufacturer s
Record. Mr. Hartman is now presi-
dent of the Union Pacific Railroad
and the Southern Pacific Railway
which control the lines shown west OF
the Missouri river at Omaha and Kan
sas City respectively, and west of
New Orleans on the Mississippi. He
is also a director in the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, which has the lines
running down the Mississippi valley
from Chicago to New Orleans with a
westward line to Omaha and eastward
lines to Louisville and Birmingham.
His great influence in this road,
amounting practically to control, was
shown at the contest for the presr
dency thereof last year, in which his
candidate was successful. He is also
director in the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad controlling the lines from
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington to Pittsburg, Gin
cinnati and st Louis, as well as to
Chicago, Fairport, Cleveland, Lorain
and Sandusky on the lakes, and not
/ long ago he acquired voice in man
agement of the Erie Railroad running
from New York to Buffalo, Pittsburg
Cincinnati and Chicago. He is, fur
thermore, largely interested in the
Central of Georgia Railway, having
lines from Savannah to Birmingham
including Augusta, Atlanta, Macor
and Columbus, Ga, besides Mont
gomery and other.points in Alabama

farther south, whence extensions to
the Gulf could be easily made.
1t will thus be seen that if such
combination of trunk lines should
ever come about it would have an
outlet at. three of the great eastern
ports, at one of the great southeast
ern ports, four or five ports on the
Gulf and four or five on the Pacific,
not to mention the various lake out
lets. A study of the accompanying
map will show that about the only
thing needed for the Hartman roads
to belt the country, as we'll as to BIZ
sect it and to reach nearly every i'm
portant port on the Atlantic Coast
and the Gulf, as well as on the Pacific
Coast, is line between New Orleans
and Washington, with branches to
Southern ports. Suppose in his broad
plans Mr. Hartman should find away
tu aeeompfieh thin ks- anauire-
ment of some existing system as a
basis for rounding out his work. 1t
might be the Southern Railway, which
already has a very complete system
to South Atlantic and Gulf ports, as
we'll as to the interior, or it might be
the Seaboard, which likewise reaches
, both the Atlantic ocean and the Mexi-
can Gulf with an important ally in the
new Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio
Railway. Or, suppose combination
should be made with the new Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railway
now reaching from Brunswick, on the
Georgia Coast, where there is an ex-
cellent port, to Birmingham and which
has already made surveys for an ex-
tension to New Orleans, while plan
is now being executed by which it
viii reach Tampa on the west coast
of Florida.
! Speculations as to the future results
of Mr. Harriman's widely extending
voice in railroad affairs well merit
attention at present when the coun-
try is apparently upon the eve of
another great forward bound in both
! industry and commerce to meet the
demands for which the transportation
world must provide"
The Record notes the necessity of
rounding out and perfecting this
wonderful System by extensions to
more Gulf ports. A study of the map
discloses the fact that the Hartman
Lines in Texas touch the Gulf at some
four or five different points. In fact

company, a railroad corporation un
der the laws of Georgia, with its prin-
cipal office in Albany, to the Carnegie
Trust company, of New York. The
mortgage consists of thirty-three
typewriter pages, and is one of the
longest documents of its kind on file
at the Dougherty county court house.
The instrument sets forth that the
Georgia, Southwestern & Gulf Rail-
road company was incorporated July
"a, 1906, and that its charter was
amended May 2S, 1908.
1t also sets forth that the railroad
commission Of Georgia last May au-
thorized the issue by the company of
stock to the amount of S4 900 900, not
to exceed $50, 1000 per mile, and to is
sue a series of 50-year 5 per cent.
bonds to the amount of S4 900, 900, per
mile, said stocks and bonds to be used
for the purpose of building and equip
ping the railroad as authorized by its
| charter.
The document states that it is the
purpose of the railroad company to
! build line of railroad from Dawson
and Albany in a southwesterly direc-
ton, through Terrell, Calhoun,
Dougherty, Baker, Miller and Deca-
tur counties, in Georgia, and through
Jackson, Calhoun and Washington
counties, in Florida, to Dyer's Point
which is located on st Andrews Bay
Gulf of Mexico, a distance of liz
miles. 1t is stated that it is also the
intention of the company to buile

branch lines and acquire others by
purchase, making an aggregate mile
age of about 200.
The mortgage is signed by w. NJ.
Legg, as president of the railroad
company, and III. j. BrutOn, as secre-
tary and treasurer. 1t is also signed
by the officers of the Carnegie Trust
company.
1t will be remembered that about
the time this railroad company filed
its application for charte' there
were about six other companies doing
likewise, the purpose of each being
to build line of road in the same
general direction and to approximate
ly the same destination. Out of the
seven applications filed, the Georgia,
Southwestern & Gulf company is so
far the only one to develop anything
like definite form. The people of this
/ section have become so accustomed to
hearing about the plans of these var
ious companies that they are not pre-
pared to believe the road is going to
be built until they actually see work
on the construction of the road

CORRESPONDENCE SHOWING REFUSAL OF

BY A. and Sta. B. R. R. AS ROUTED.
SHIPMENTS FOR PANAMA CITY TAKEN
TO AND HELD AT PENSACOLA
BY The |. & N. R.R,
No Attention Paid to the Routing.

The subject of what amounts to the
private ownership of Pensacola Har-
Dor by the l.. & N. r. R. Co., and
the PILoT's protests, ,ageinst the Gov
ernment longer aiding that port by
large appropriations to maintain
channel which tended solely to build
up gigantic railway monopoly, re-
suited in some further comments
upon the action of that road in the
matter of handling shipments con-
signed to Panama City, and in an in
terview by the Pensacola News with
it's Division Freight Agent Lurton, in
which the latter sees fit to give the
lie to the PILOT.
Brother Thomas, of the News, also
seems to have come to the conclusion
that Lurton's ''tribute of affection"
to Panama City was not quite suffi-
cient, SO editorially has the following
additional to offer:
"The attention of Editor West, of
the Panama City Pilot, is respectfully
directed to the interview with Mr.. j .
w. Lurton, division freight and pas
senger agent of the Louisville and
Nashville, which appears in this issue,
relative to the charge made in a
recent issue of the Pilot to the effect
that the l.. & n. was refusing to tax e
freight for Panama City, in violation
of law. Comment upon Mr.. Lurton' s
statement is unnecessary.
Possibly comment upon the L. &N.
r. r. officials statement is unneces-
sary, as stated by the News. And
possibly not. That depends very
much upon ones acceptance of the
unsupported statement of Mr. Lurton,
as against the facts presented by
various shippers, and officials of the
l.. & n. r. R., as shown in the follow
ing correspondence.
Mr. Lurton has evidently allowed
himself to be imposed upon, nor does
he seem to be fully posted as to what
his superior officers are doing in thi:
connection. In future denials he may
possibly ascertain whether he il
giving his superior officers the liz
before he publicly denounces state
ments made by the PILOT.
. He may not have known the stan,
they had taken, or he may be actin,
upon the generally accepted railwa,
proposition "to deny everything,
t and ''the people be damned" Nj
/. Lurton must accept either one O
: these positions, that he did not knoN
S what he was talking about, or that h
t did not care for the facts.
