CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
 RAILWAY COMPANY

Extract from the minutes of a regular quarterly meeting of the board of direc- tors of Central of Georgia Railway com pany, held at Savannah. Ga., January g, 1911, at which a quorum was present:
 ''The following minute was unanimous ly adopted
 ',The board of directors of Central of Georgia Railway company here records it's appreciation of it's late president, John Fletcher Hanson, who died suddenly at his home in Atlanta, Ga, on Thursday, December 15, 1910, having but recently passed his seventieth birthday.
 Entering the directory of this company at the time of it's first permanent or ganization, his valuable counsel and ad- vice helped to safely pilot the struggling corporation through the trying years of it's early life. In 1900 he became chair man of it's board of directors and in 1903 its president. Without previous executive or administrative experience in railroad management. his rapid and comprehensive understanding, his commercial skill and training, his sagacity his sound judg- ment, his energy, his conservatism, his moral courage, and his high character were for more than 10 years all given without stint to the rehabilitation and up- building of the physical, financial and strategic positlOH or properties Wnlcn needed just such a man for the devel- opment of their potential strength. He gaveshis best, and his best was much.
 Trusting implicitly those who deserved his confidence, earning and receiving from his associates and subordinates their high respect and their best work but never Ehirking the full responsibility of his own judgment, broad in his under standing, liberal in his opinions, vigor- ous, manly. generous. straightforward, and always true, the success which he at tained is undisputably demonstrated by tho results of his work. The great inl- provement in the stability and the con dition of the properties which he has managed is an enduring monument to the splendid qualities of the man.
 Major Hanson's personal qualities won the affectionate esteem of all who came into contact with him. In his death, the members of the board have suffered a personal bereavement and the company an irreparable loss.

barges broke adrift about a. m., to- day, just as the doubling of the caps was almost, accomplished.
 The tow line snapped and a few min utes later the barges were in the breakers. In the marine history of Cape Cod no large vessel has as yet grounded on Peaked Hill Bars and es- capped destruction. The three barges began breaking up almost immediately and by daylight wreckage was comin g ashore and sunrise disclosed but one of the three barges remaining, and that one, the Pine Forest, was show ing every indication of following the fate of the other two.
 On the beach stood three lifesaving crews, powerless to aid the men who could be seen clinging to the wreck of the Pine Forest. Stretching out for 800 yards was a seething mass of numbering seas in which even a lifeboat could not have lived, while the distance was too far for shot from the lfegun. The tug, which lowered in the offing, was unable to run in close for fear of grounding also.
 The livesavers patrolled the beach and their watch was soon rewarded by the discovery of two bodies tossing about the breakers. These were hauled ashore. About each body was strapped life belt, on which was the single word "Treverton." In the menatime the Pine Forest was being hammered mercilessly. The crew hung on until about 10 o'clock and then, giving up hope of help from shore launched their own boat and tum- bled Into it.
 The second sea that hit the barge after the boat left her swept around her stern and those 0n shore saw the four men thrown into the surf. This completed the fatalities of the day and the life savers hauled their apparatus back to the houses, but continued their patrol for bodies.
 The Lilkens stood by until it was seen that all the barges were wrecked.
 The disaster was one of the worst that has happened on Cape Cod in many years.

New Orleans, January 10.-After making what is believed to be the fastest run over made on the Mississippi river, the three United States torpedo boat destroy CTS. Pauldlng, Roe and Terry, arrived at this port last night from Key West. Fla. The boats made the trip from the Mississippi bar to the city in four hours and 50 minutes, navigating South Pass in a dense fog and making two stops. This beats the record of the scout ship Bir- mingham, made on the trip of President Taft up the river in February, 1908. The destroyers will remain in port three days taking on stores, after which they will proceed to Galveston, Tex.
