SOUTHERN SPENDING m1aEY.
To Double Track Main Line From
WASHINGTON to Atlanta.

Washington to Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga-Creatly increased ac-
tivity in the work OF improving and
double tracking the main line of the
Southern Railway from Washington ID
Atlanta is presaged in the announce
ment by the company that contract
has just been closed with the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company for
thirty thousand tons of S5-pound steel
rails to be delivered from it's Birmin g
ham plant between June l and Decen-
Der l, 1910, at the rate Of 5000 tons
per month.
This contract calls for the eXpendi-
ture of 100000 by the Southern RAJ
way Company for rails alone and will
provide the steel for the laying of So
miles Of track per month for the next
six months. This work will furnish
labor to an army of men and will
also greatly stimulate other industries.
An order for 5000 kegs of spikes was
recently given the Atlanta Steel Com
pany and the purchase of a great
amount of other material will be nee
essary for this work In 5ii71ng these
orders to Birmingham and Atlanta
plants the Southern is carrying out it's
policy Of patronizing Southern indus
tries.
This great order for steel will be
used in the work Of improving and
double tracking the main stem be-
tween Washington and Atlanta. A
large part will be used in replacing
steel now in the track which will in
tHrn be used to better the tracks of
some Of the secondary lines.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
Telephone 20 Superssde Telegraph on
the Scathern Railway.

the SoGthern Railway.
Atlanta.-The telephone is to take
place Of the telegraph on one of the
most important sections of the line
OF the Southern railway system, be-
tween Washington and Atlanta, ac-
cordingEto announcement made by the
company. On the 1913 miles between
Monroe, Va, and Greensboro, N. c. the
company is preparing to put into op-
Grafton system Of dispatching trains
by telephone.
Two complete metallic circuits are
and one for messages, with instru-
ments at each station on the line.
The installation of these circuits Is
nearly complete and the service will
be put into operation within the next
few weeks. 1t is expected that the
substitution Of the telephone for the
telegraph in the work Of moving trains
will ultimately be extended over other
parts Of the Southern Railway sys-
ten.
That part or the line on WDlcn inc
telephone is being installed will, when
work under construction is complet-
ed, have ffty-four miles of double
track. The traffic over it is very
heSay Ead an excellent Opportunity
will be afforded for the aSmonstra-
ton Of the merits of the new system.
In substituting the telephone for the
old telegraph system Of train orders
the Southern Railway is following its
policy of bringing its lines to the high
est possible state Of efficiency. The
telephone system has several advaR-
tages over the telegraph. 1t is said
the service is quicker In operation
and errors can be better guarded

the man who buys 1t in bottles or
over the bar can see the government

on all packages.
In brief, the regulations declare
that all unmixed spirits distilled from

Elcouence Burned at Stake in Senate

In the upper legislative chamber, He

statesmen who place their whole hap

listeners, brought by the general
alarm sent out that This day some

recognition to the confederacy. He
appealed especially to the patriots on
his side of the house, whose party had
saved the union from that period OF
error. He wa3 vehement, but not un-
duly bitter. Things struggled with
in him for utterance, but he had calm
ly Sc his limitations. He would not
wave the bloody shirt. But. by every
thing that was sacred, he urged that
the old feeling, the old rancor. be not
aroused in this manner. The terrible
past, as pictured by him, should not
at this late day be revived
Amid a tense silence he sat down.
The galleries craned forward, every
heart beating. Would the senate now
be torn by sectional strife?
1t didn't even rip.
Everybody but Mr.. Hoyburn voted
to let the United Confederates have
what they wanted. The northern folks
voted right along with the southern
contingent. Even eagerly did they so
vote. Mr.. Heyburn's vote was the SOL
itary recognition given the throbbing
appeal from far OF Idahs.
Thus was oratory nartyrcd in the
