SAVING THE GEORGIA RAILROAD.

SAVING THE GEORGIA RAILROADS.
 The correspondent of The Macon tGa.) Telegraph, after a thorough study of the reports of the rail- roads made to the Georgia Rail- road Commission. quotes figures to show how boldly and courageous ly the railroad officials cut ex- penses to the quick in order to avoid ruin from drastic anti-railroad legis- lation. accompanied and followed by the financial stringency.
 Some of the Georgia roads only saved themselves by desperate ex- pense cutting. The Central of Geor- gia, for instance, had slowly and pain fully dragged it's way out of bank ruptcy. Just as 1t was about to stand on firm ground the storm of anti-rail- road Legislation broke. The officials acted enersetically and eourageously.
 The reductions made to weather the gale were mainly a lessening of the operating force, reduction of officials salaries and a suspension of purchases and extension. The figures submitted to the Georgia Commission which have been under study comprised the fiscal ing June 30, 1908. It is notable that the slashins of expenses began in the summer of 1907. long before the fnan- cial panic was inaugurated in October, 1907. Beset by harrassing railroad legislation the expense cutting began, in an effort to slave of the Inevitable result of legislation framed for and aimed at the business of operating railroads.
 In the one year the Central of Geor- gia cut it's expenses s654,s22.57. The Western and Atlantic reduced expenses by $2ss,O4A46; the Georgia Railroad. $l79, 5Ss.57; the Atlantic Coast Line. $245.74s.4o; the Southern, $565.s13.25 Georgia Southern and Florida, $ls1,. 4Os.s1; Seaboard, a15O.9S2.ss. The to- tai reduction by thse Georgia roads amounted to 32.2563272S.
 It was also stated that during that particular year the railroads In oeor- gia spent between 5000. 900 and S5.- OOO 900 less than in the previous year These figures do not include any esti- mate of the losses by the almost com plete suspension of extension work in the State.
 During this crisis the Central of Georgia dropped no less than 1,O44 men from the pay rolls.
 President JA F. Hanson in a state ment published Wednesday in The Att lanta (Ga.) Consultation. says that in 1906 the net income of the Central of Georgia amounted to Sl,2Sl,s11 and in 1907 it dropped to s4si,oss. Tn 1908 it

What Might Have Been.

Columbus EnQuirer-Sun.
 "A contemporary hates to think of what Mir. Lincoln might have accom- plished if he had been a well educated man. It is useless to speculate on such a question, but we must remem- Der that education does not always make great man." says The Mont gomery Advertiser. Mir. Lincoln was not an educated" man as education goes. He had not the advantages of collegiate course. In fact he had but little schooling. Less than one year. we believe, in schools of an in- different character schools where the qualification of the teacher was a Knowledge of readin', 'ritin' and 'rith- matic, was all that he had.
 And yet he was educated He had such an education as few men in the history of our country have acquired an education of the heart. In his heart were implanted those things which fit- ted him for far better service to his country than all that he could have learned from the study of mere books.
 And MT Lincoln was not without ability to express himself In most torceful and powerful language. He had a familiarity with words and their meaning that enabled him to construct sentences expressive of thoughts that will never die Simple but elegant was his diction, and today his speeches and writings are pointed to as being

 Froposed Negro Collector 0f Port
 Won't Be Confirmed. Washington Special to New York Even
 ing Post.
 It Is all but formally settled that no action will be taken by this Congress on the nomination of W. D. Crum the negro whose name was sent to the Senate by President Roosevelt for re- appointment as collector of the port at Charleston. s. c. Under the leader ship of Senator TIilman the Southern Senators are united against the con firmation of Crum. A dozen of the important annual supply bills must be passed before March { and, on this ac- count, the Republican leaders had to abandon their plan to force long execu- tive sessions until the Democrats would agree to fix date to vote on Crum.
 A Southern Senator, who was a White House caller today. was asked what Mir. Taft will do about the Crum case.
 T don't think he will reappoint him collector at Charleston" was the re- ply. If he gives Crum a foreign post or a Federal appointment in the Dis trict of Columbia. I doubt if there will be serious objection from Southern Senator's to confirmation by the Senate"

rR1DDAY, FEBRUARY 1s. lsos.
A GOOD AGREEMENT.

The following from The Boston Globe is interesting for Southern cot. aon growers. as well as to other sec tions of the Union and foreign coun- tries:
 A New England man hes gaaSsd. s..s at the conference Of the powers, now sitting at London, which was called to frame a code of laws for naval war
 The decision has been reached that cotton shall be placed upon the list Of absolute on-contraband articles.
 s sSsOS sS S0TsS... wss asfSs1y .oaF SSs so ton Wilson. professor of social and political science at Iirown Cnitersity. also lecturer at Harvard and the New only forty-fve years old, but he al- ready has established for himself . world wide reputation as an authority on international law.
 This will be a matter of importance should our country become engaged in war with some foreign power. If there had been an agreement of this nature between the United States gov ernment and the Confederate govern ment the result might have been diff ferent. The South could have exported millions of bales of cotton to Europe where there was great demand for it at a high price and thus secured mon- ey enough to purchase all the supplies needed by our armies, besides supply ing the Confederate government with annie funds. But cotton was contra band of war, and the armed ships of the Union were always on the look out for 1t and ready to seize and con hscate 1t. Two important objects were attained by these seizures The mills of the North got raw material and the Confederacy was crippled.
 The agreement referred to may at some time be of great advantage to this government and to other coun- tries. If our government should get into war with some foreign power pos- sessing a strong navy. and cotton be contraband. the enemy might and would seize all the cotton available and thus not only inhict great pecun- iary loss on this country but cause the cotton manufacturers Of Europe great inconvenience. The fact that a New England man obtained the con- cession, ss we may call it. does not in any degree lessen It's importance to the Southern cotton grower.
