EDWARD H. HARTMAN.

The death of such a man as Edward
I'll. Hartman is great loss to the
country. He was a tremendous force
10 railroad development in America
and his lines now link the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans. He has banded
the continent with steel, and having
pushed his lines from the Pacific to
the Atlantic in the North he had OF
late turned his attention to the South,
and in the inception OF movement
which no doubt meant great develop
Inent for the Southern section OF the
country his elimination from activity
at this time must constitute loss OF
serious consequences to the South.
But his work will be taken up and
carried forward by others.
AS the Charlotte News says:
1t must be admitted that the emf
nent railroad mans death is a great
blow to this country, although conf
dence is felt that there will be man OF
the hour, a successor who will take
up Mr.. Harriman's great work and
carry it forward with equal success.
No doubt Mr.. Hartman was sur
sounded by able men who know and
will carry out bis policies, and it is
significant that he picked out a
Southern man, Judge Lovett, OF
Texas, to take the head OF his i'm
mense affairs in the event OF his death.
1t appears strange that any one
man should constitute such power
full factor in big and great country
like this, but it is the mans gigantic
achievements that have created the
tremendous impress which he has
made upon the Nation and the civil
lied globe.
The value OF such a man to the
United States cannot be overesti-
mated and for that reason the pass
ing of Edward H. Hartman is a
source of profound regret, to be espe-
cially felt in the South upon the eve
of plans involving railroad develop
ment in this territory.
BY his recent requirement OF the
Central OF Georgia Railroad he has
tapped the Southern seaboard at
Savannah and what other achieve
ments he had scheduled in the South
are not known. His great organic
ing and administrative ability had
conquered the field so far as the North
was concerned and his death at this
time is especially to be deplored as
he had just turned his attention to
the South.

Dear Sir: If a customer wants $35 so
do you give him $75?
Suppose you should hear of one of your
customers doing thing like that and
not knowing it, what would you say
next time he wants discount?
Wen venture half your men are doing
that very thing without suspicion.
Men who paint any other paint than
Devoe are paying $75 for $35 so or some
other such figure,
10 gallons Devoe is enough for good
size house two coats; Is or 20 isn't too
much of another paint. There's 1915 or
$3.50 for or 10 extra gallons; besides
81 to 81 a gallon for putting it on; that's
$40 to $40. That's how half the houses
stores, factories, warehouses, shops,
barns, fences are painted: $50 for paint
and labor; $25 to $50 more for not know
ing what paint to put-on.
The one to put-on is the paint that
takes least gallons and makes least bills
for paint ard labor.

AFTER Mr.. Roosevelt, and the navy,
and officialdom had predicted that
Peary would reach the North Pole, it
was very inconsiderate of DR.. Cook to
walk in ahead and be the first at the
Pole. Officialdom will never forgive
him. And he didn't name his ship
Roosevelt, either. And he is a Demo-
crat, too. On the whole, this man
Cook is sure to be disapproved by
the "set. News and Observer.
Another case of oficialdom and the
"set" against Schley. But Cook will
live through it and win out in public
estimation just as Schley did.

THERE is enough OF the North Pole
to go around just as there is glory
enough for both Cook and Peary in
discovering it, but the trouble with
Peary and his fool friends is that they
will be satisfied with nothing less
than the whole thiDg-all the pole
and the glory attached to it.
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1909-09-16

Peary weakens his own contention
for first honors in discovering the
North Pole by bis readiness to de-
clare that Cook is a fake. On the
other hand Cook accords to Peary
all the credit that is due him. Quite
a difference in the attitude of the two
men, and if either of them is a fake
we are inclinded to believe his name
is Peary Reflector.

And the dispute between Peary and

IT begins to look like Peary's
charges against DIR. Cook was a case
of crying "stop thief'-shouting to
divert attention from his own default
ing. He is now charged by friends
and hackers of Cook with having ap-
propriated certain papers and sup
plies OF his amounting to $4,000 in
value and suit to recover is threat
ened. 1t is a pretty howdydo between
these two intrepid explorers and the
elimination and recrimination fol-
lowing close upon the announcement
OF their having reached the North
Pole seems destined to lay that
achievement entirely in the shade.

As BETWEEN Peary and Cook, tho
former has the bigger job of the two.
He must prove that he reached the
pole and that DIR. Cook did not,
while Cook has only to prove that he
did. He is not worrying himself
about the achievements Of Peary,
and is begrudging him no honOrs.

PEARY said the world should not
believe DR.. Cooks story because he
had no white man with him to bear
witness to his claims ofhaving reach
ed the pole-he had only two Eski-
mos as companions when he made
the final dash, and the evidence of
Eskimos could not be relied upon. 1t
develops that Commander Peary was
not as we'll provided with witnesses
as DR.. Cook. On his final march he
was accompanied by but one Eski-
mo, his faithful negro attendant,
Mathew Henson, and three Eskimos
having been left behind at the last
march but one that he made to the
pole. But we believe that Pearv
reached the North Pole, just as we
believe that DR.. Cook got there a
year ahead of him.
