MISSISSIPPI PAPER MILL.
Big Plant wiIl He Established at Hst-
 fIeRhurU


 Birmingham. Sept. 26.-(Special )-- special from Hattiesbrg. Miss. says: An immense factory for the manufac- ture of paper out of yellow pine refuse will be established in Hattiesburg right away with a capitalization of s500.000, This announcement has tust been made here and follows an extensive and thorough series of experiments that have been carried on for several months.
 The company will have connection with the J. J. Newman Lumber Com pany, whose president. F. s. Peck, Is a shareholder in the paper company to the amount of s500o0. Other pro- motors are we'll known men of means In Hattiesburg and Psnnsvlvania.
 The factory will be the second of It's kind in the country. The processes employed will differ somewhat from those in use in the Louisiana yellow pine. paper mill. The grades of paper will be of the heavier kind and in con- nection with the paper mill will be fac- tories for the manufacture of paper boxes of all kinds.
 The substance from which the pulp will be secured Is the wastage from the Newman and other mills of this vicinity. The process Is by no means an experiment. for several car loads of yellow pine timber have been carried to Pennsylvania ana theSe put through all the processes.

SCHOOL TEACHERS

 For many years I have used coffee and refused to be convinced of its bad effect upon the human system" writes veteran school teacher.
 Ten years ago I was obliged to give up my much-loved work in the public schools after years of continu- ous labor. I had developed a we'll de- fined case of chronic coffee roisoning
 The troubles were constipation. fiut- terings of the heart. a thumping in the top of my head and various parts of my body. twitching of my limbs, shaking of my head and. at times, after exertion. general gone" feeling. with toper's desire for very strong coffee. was a nervous wreck for years.
 "A short time ago friends came to visit us and they brought a package of Postum with them and urged me to try 1t. I was preiudiced because some years ago I had drunk a cup of weak tasteless stuff called Postum, which I did not like at all
 This time. however. my friend made the Postum according to directions on the package. and it won me. Suddenly I found msyelf improving in a most de. cided fashion
 'The odor of boiling coffee no longer tempts me. I am SO greatly benefited by Postum that if continue to im- prove as l am now. I'll begin to think I have found the Fountain of Perpetual Youth. This is no fancy letter but stubborn facts which I am glad to make known"

\ Central of Georgia is the
 Winner. BUSINESS OF COMPRESS
 IS HELD A PRIVATE ONE fudge Sayre Says Road Has Right to Compress Here. xs Outcome of Application of Railroad q Commission to Enforce Its order By Injunction in the
 q, City Court.

That the railroads of the State have the right to own and operate com presses without interference from the Railroad Commission of the State was decided yesterday at noon when Judge A. D. Sayre of the Civil Division of the City Court handed down a decree in the case of the Railroad Commission of Alabama vs. Central of Georgia Railroad. sustaining the demurrers filed by the railroad to the complaint of the Commission. -s ..4
 Judge Sayre decreed that the order of the Railroad Commission was null and void and could not be enforced un- der the present Constitution and laws of the State of Alabama. and that "the motion made by the Railroad Commis- sion for an injunction pendente lite be and is hereby overruled."
 In his review of the case Judge Sayrs stated that the complaint set forth the fact that the defendant by exclusively petronizing its own conn press at Montgomery in effect. not only deprived the Union Springs compress of the profits realized from the com pression of cotton. but deprived also the people of Union Springs of the ad- vantases to be derived from the con-

what Mir. McPherson calls the hard ening down of capitalization" caused by this placing of earnings back into the property and also by the scaling down O. receiverships and reorgani- cations. following the panic of 1893. From 1895 to 1905 the same develop ment continues. The miles of track to supply locomotives and cars. and the traffic moved increased much more rapidly than the increase in capitaiiza- tion. which was only iT.s per cent
 During this period of thirty years. moreover. the stockholders and credi- tors of railroads were receiving a de- clining share of the increase in net earnings From 1875 to 1885. for ex- ample. while net earnings increased 45.2 per cent. interest and dividends in- creased SIS per cent. From 1885 to 1895 net earnings increased 29.7 per cent. and interest and dividends 27.4 per cent. From 1895 to 1905 net earn ings increased 9s.4 per cent. and inter- est and dividends SPA per cent. Dur ing the last decade 1t Is evident that the railroads were able to provide for the necessary Improvements of their properties only by making large drafts upon their surplus earnings.
 The increase in the earnings avail able for distribution Is mainly explain ed as MT. McPherson shows. by in- creased efficiency of operation. The number of traffic units carried per lo- comotive. for example. increased 2I per cent from 1885 to 1895. and 59 per cent from 1895 to 1905. The number of traffic units carried per employe in- creased 22.5 per cent from 1895 to 1905. The greater efficiency of the plant. also. shows in the ratio of capitalization to earnings. In 1885 sl0.15 of capital was required to pro- duce s1 of gross earnings; in 1895. ss.s4 and in 1905, s5.36.
 Mir. McPherson finally shows that during the great prosperity of 1905 the railroads were able to earn less than per cent on their capital and that the demands of the country for transportation facilities will require the provision by 1915 of nine billions

RAILWAY WORLD.

MT. l.. G. McPherson. in the Septem- Der issue of the Political Science Quar- terly, In an article entitled The Needs of the Railroads" presents a view of the railway problem which. while in its general outlines Is not entirely new. is of great interest because of the statistical information with which the author forces his conclusions
 Mir. McPherson institutes compar- ison between the increase of railway efficiency. railway earnings and rail- way capitalization during three de- cades, 1S75-1Ss5, 1ss5-1895, Is95-I9O5. The object of this comparison may be briefly summarized. as follows: The in- crease of capital liabilities shows, roughly, the claim which the owners and creditors of the railroads make upon railway earnings for their return. The expense of transportation is also indicated by gross earnings and rates. over against these returns and expen- ses Is to be set the return which the railroad renders, the volume of. traffic which it moves and the efficiency of the service which 1t performs. If 1t can be proven that the railroads of the United States are increasing the ser vice which they render at more rapid rate than the contributions which they are able to exact for that service, tn en much of the criticism against them falls to the ground. This proof Mir. McPherson furnishes in the comparis- ons which have been mentioned.
 During the first decade, 1S75-1Ss5, there was a rapid increase in capitall- zation. due to the extension of lines into new territory. A large amount of whatever water" that has ever ex- isted in American railroad securities was injected during this period. Dur ing the next decade. 1SS5-1S95. the rate of increase of capitalization was very low. amounting to only 21.3 per cent. On the other hand. the number of miles of line and miles of track to supply locomotives and cars. and the traffic moved increased much more rapidly. In other words. there was in progress

Railroad Commission Loses
 In Its Cotton Compress Suit

centration at that point of cotton shipped over the defendants road.
 That on these facts the Commercial and Industrial Association of Union Springs complained to the Railroad Commission. praying that first: Te publish rate on compressed and un. compressed cotton from Union Springs to all intrastate points, and. second that said defendant be required to de- sist from discriminating against the compress located at Union Springs and thereby against the locality.
 The commission expressed It's de- termination not to consider or deter mine that part of the petition asking for a differential in rate on com. pressed cotton for the reason that there was pending before the com mission like petition in which all the railroads in the State were joined but the commission did order that the Central of Georgia Railroad desist it's practice of discriminating against Un- Ion Springs by withholding privileges in concentrating and compressing cot ton as granted to other compressing or concentrating points.
 Judge Sayre held that the Union Springs Compress Company makes It's own contracts, and that the Railroad Commission has not the power from the laws and the Constitution of the State to restrain the Central of Geor- gia Railroad from making its own contracts for private business. It was held that the commission has but the power to regulate the rates of public carriers and their duties to the public
 It was also held that compression does not add to the value of cotton as mills prefer that their cotton be uncompressed. That the railroads when they compress cotton do so for their own convenience, and are no more per- forming a public service than when they are buying rails or ties for their own use.
 Judge Sayre therefore ruled that in his decree: Tn my opinion the order Of the Railroad Commission is void and cannot be enforced"

of dollars. At the same time. as he shows. operating expenses are rapidly increasing. If this enormous sum fs to be provided by private investors. if Is plain. from Mfr. McPherson's article. that the railroads. which have for many years been rendering an increas- ing service at a declining rate. and whose revenues have now reached q point where Issues of new capital are made with extreme difficulty. should be allowed to increase their revenues by a readJustment of rates to a point where the return on their moderate capitalization will again become at tractive to the investor.
