THE SEABOARD AIR LINE,
Generally Admitted That Fr..c
closure Proceedings Are ca
templated But What Action
Bondholders Will Take is Not
Baltimore Special to Wall Street Journal.

Known.
Baltimore Special to Wall Street Journal
On October 1st the receivers
of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way will have to pay the coupons
on the general mortgage 4 per
cent. bonds or interest will be in
actual default. 1t is generally
understood that the coupons will
not be paid. What action the
bondholders will take to protect
their interests is not known, but
it is not believed that they will
go to the extent Of foreclosing
without reorganization.
That foreclosure is ultimately
contemplated is generally ad-
mitted, but this step will not be
taken till a plan of re-organiza-
ton is perfected and provision
made to provide cash require
ments for the new company. New
capital will undoubtedly be rails
ed by the stockholders through
assessment, but it is the idea of
all interests to rehabilitate the
property without drastic scaling
of bonds or unreasonable assess,
ment against the stocks. s,,z
Thus far tonnage has more
than met expectations. The
August showing probably will
not be as favorable as that Of
July owing to damage to road
bed, bridges, etc., and loss Of
traffic by floods. The future Of
the Atlanta & Birmingham is un.
certain. This division of the
! system is in default on the in
|, terest on the 5 per cent. bond
due September 1st.
The road has never been self
| supporting and it is felt in SOM
quarters that the Seabord woulC
be better off without it. Eve

: FOR PEACE.
, p-Iucal Conditions in Robson
Bitterness and Strife Should
be Forgotten.

In his sermon at the Metho-
dist church Sunday morning the
pastor, Rev. E. M. Hoyle, sub
mitted some observations on
local conditions that have oc-
casloned considerable comment. !
He took for his subject Those
things in our civilization into
which the Christian principles
are not injected" and his re-
marks applied largely to political
conditions in the town of Lum-
berton. The following brief out
line will serve to give an idea of
the nature of his remarks and
will furnish food for thought:
No man should enter into any
thing into which he cannot take
Christian principles, but none of
these principles is injected into
modern politics, especially the
politics of Robson county. No
county is so torn by factions as
is this. The recent campaign
has caused hard feelings and
strife which it will take a gene
ration for this community to out
live, hence it becomes a moral
question with which the pulpit
must deal. 1t has come to pref
ty pass, he declared, when a
man cannot walk down street
with a friend without being
lined up;" when he cannot give
expression to his own private
thoughts without being classed as
a tool of one faction or another.
1t is all right to differ, but we
should love each other, just the
same. The great difficulty is the
selfishness andself-interest which
enters into the whole matter.
Citizenship rests upon the truth
that no man liveth to himself and
no man dieth to himself; it i'm.
plies that you sacrifice some OF
your wishes for the good of youl
neighbor. You keep your COW
in your lot in order that youl
neighbor may have a garden
: Those who have engendered thi.
> bitterness should fall upon theil
. knees, beg each others forgive
ness, repent of their sins anC
, hereafter be friends.
Such conditions are hurting tn,
o prosperity of our community
v Men do not like to live in tn
midst of strife, and under ex
\ isting conditions few people wi
Y care to moveinto this community
1t endangers business interests
+ His plea was for peace.
4 He declared that the man VIII
l. would enter our legislative hall
d and represent his clients rathe
a than the whole people was a ira
# tor, and he condemned those VIII
" would sell their votes for none
n or whiskey as being unworthy g
the franchise.

Meridian, MISS, U1Spaten' 1oLh'
A special to The Dispatch from
Sandersville, fifty miles south of
Meridian, says:
Night riders have appeared in
Jones county and three promi-
nent farmers living six miles
east of here received notices
Monday night to haul no more
cotton to gin, or else they would
"get paid" as they returned
home. A notice was also placed
on the public roads warning all
farmers to cease hauling cotton
after September 18th.
Considerable excitement pre-
walls and farmers near town are
rushing their cotton in while
those farther away have ceaseC

Campaign Than at Any Other

Home and State.
Below is given the expense ac-
count of a West Texas candidate,
who says he will never be a can
didate again. Here is the way he
puts it down:
Lost 3 months and SO days can
vassing; 1,340 hours thinking
about the elections acres cotton;
% acres of corn, a whole sweet
potato patch, 5 shoats and 1 beef
given to barbecue; 2 front teeth
and a considerable quantity of
hair in a personal skirmish. Gave
79 plugs of tobacco, 2 pairs of
suspenders, 4 calico dresses, 7
dolls and 13 baby rattlers.
Told 1889 lies, shook hands A.
500 times, talked enough to have
made in print 1000 large vol
umes of patent office reports;kiss-
ed 124 babies, kindled one kitch-
en- fire, cuttwo cords of wood, pull
ed TAT bundles of fodder, toted
27 buckets of water, was dog bit
6 times.
Loaned out 3 barrels of -four,
So bushels of meal, $50 pounds of
bacon, Sc pounds of butter, IL
dozen eggs, 3 umbrellas, IA lead
pencils, l Bible, l coat, 5 paper
collars, none of which have been
returned.
Called my opponent a tabulat,
ed liar-doctor's bills $40. Had
5 arguments with my wife-re-
suit: [ flower vase smashed:
broom handle broken, one dish
of hash knocked off the table,
shirt bosom ruined, 2 handfuls o1
whiskers pulled out; 10 cents
worth of sticking plaster bough
besides spending 81, 279.13 on the
campaign.
Got 4 votes myself, father
and two brothers) and have come
to the conclusion that there ar,
more liars to the square inch dur

Night Riding in the South.

Charlotte Observer.
The night riders of Alabama
and Arkansas have gone a bow
shot beyond those of Mississippi
who have merely notified ginners
to suspend business. In the two
States first named, cotton plant
ers are being held up and threat
ened with dire consequences un-
less they reduce acreage and
hold their crop for the minimum
price fixed by the Fort Worth
convention. Farmers as a class
do not take very kindly to in
timadation. We wonder if those
of Alabama and Arkansas will
submit to it or defy the night
riders and be subjected to the
drastic discipline that was visited
upon the tobacco growers of
Kentucky. 1t might be more
pertinent to enquire if the State
authorities will take hold of the
situation, uphold the law and
protect the rights of those
farmers who think themselves
capable of attending to
their own business. There
are intimations that the Cover.
nor of Alabama will move il
the matter. If he does it is t.
be hoped that his efforts will b.
attended with better success thar
attended those of the Governor
of Kentucky, who issued procla
nations and made threats bu
whose troops killed none of th'
outlaws nor put any of them il
Jail.

trees as possible at or near this
size of rapid growth. For example,
by cutting to 10 inches in diane
ter the growth on a tract of land
may be 200 feet year per acre.
By cutting to 16 inches the
growth between successive cut
tings may be increased to 300
feet a year.
3. The forester outlines plans
to be followed to secure the full
stocking of the land. Owing to
fires, lack of seed trees or other
causes a large proportion of the
land is often unproductive, hav-
ing no timber upon it, either old
or young. Such unproductive
areas are especially common on
second growth or cut-over pine
land and often amount to one
third or one half of the total area,
occurring as small openings or
thinly stocked areas. Such open
ings indicate that a portion Of
the land and therefore a portion
Of the investment is idle and un-
productive. Young timber on
the land is necessary for continu-
ed growth and earning. It's pres
ence is necessary if the lands
are to pay as the amount of young
growth determines the volume
and value of the next cutting.
Partial restocking is one of the
chief reasons why the money re-
turns from much of the timber
lands are unsatisfactory. A great
part of the capital is dead and
inactive. Better legislation is
necessary to protect timber lands
from fire, and the assistance OF
the State is required for such
protection of cut-over lands.
4. When several species form
the forest the forester develops
methods of cutting which will Sc.
cure the reproduction of those
species which are of creates
! value, and which will suppress
! or reduce the number of kinds o:
; least value.
t Realizing that the complicated
: nature of the management of tim
! ber landsdetersmany ownersfron
: considering them other than a
. temporary investments, the Stat
n Geological and Economic Surve,
o is attempting to remove this diff
o fculty by having its forester pre-
e pare for owners working plan
i showing them the best metho
i of managing their lands. Tim
q ber which is growing on poor
4 wet or rough land should be re
r garded as permanent forest an

tives of the system boards of the va
riOus brotherhoods of employees of the

stated that no reduction would be put
into force en- the road until the men
had been given the right to discuss
the matter and take a similar vote
again.
Gen. Supt. Lee stated that today
there were 10000 more idle cars in the
country than when the reduction was
asked fer. but the summer season, us
uaiiy more prosperous for the Boston

mess Of the next six months would be
the basis upon which the road would
decide as to whether or not to con-
tnue the present wage schedule with
out change.
