AFTER A BIG CONTRACT.
Local Firm May Furnish big Y. M.
c.. A. Building.


H. NJ. Miller & Son, the well-known
furniture dealers, are among the bid
ders on the job of furnishing the
Y. M. c. A. building in Waycross,
which is owned by the Atlantic Coast
Line, and, while they will be opposed
by Waycross and other bidders, the
indications are that they will be
awarded the contract.
The furnishing of the large build
ing will mean the output OF probably
upwards of $4,000, as much furniture
is to be used. The local concern has
landed other large contracts in Way
cross recently. The fact that they
carry such a large stock, have better
freight rates, ETC., put them in posi-
ton to outbid their competitors.

A GREAT NAME AWAITS SOME
ONE WHO WILL DO FOR
OTHERS.

A great name and undying fame
awaits the man or woman Oh the race
who has no dependent relatives, and
gives his or her property to the hous-
ing of homeless children, or to the
rescue of wayward girls, or to be the
nucleus of real charity sinking fund
The community has marveled more
than once at the folly of persons
whose good judgment it had com
mended during their lifetime, when at
their death they allowed their savings
TO be eaten up by lawyers and the
courts in the settlement of the affairs
of their estate, when a little foresight
and will would have saveu it all to
bless those whom they wished to help.
In some cases, decision in this most
important matter has been deferred
till death was knocking at the door,
so that the dying wishes did not fair
ly represent the intelligence of the
person. We all must die. Therefore
1t is wisdom to make preparation to
leave our business affairs in the best
possible shape. And for those who
have no relatives, God pity them if
they hate all manhind so bitterly that
they prefer to let strange lawyers and
the state eat up their savings, in pref
erence 70 creating fund or establish
ing a home which will bless mankind
Tor generations to come.

DENVER & RIO GRANDE TO ELEC-
TRIFY ITS MOUNTAIN LINES.
First Transcontinental Line to Utilize

First Transcontinental Line to Utilize
Electricity in Train Operations.
Denver, Nov. 1S.-Vice President
Brown, of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad, on his return from New York
City yesterday announced that the
first steps in electrifying the Denver
& Rio Grande system are to be taken
at once. The first unit to be electri-
fed will be from Helper, Utah, to
Salt Lake City, ia miles. The sec
ond unit will be over Tennessee Pass,
the great Continental Divide in Colo
rado, and will involve the electrifica-
ton of the line from Salida to Min
turn, Colorado, distance of 81 miles.
The Utah work will be commenced
early in 1913, and il is hoped that it
viii be completed by the time the
new 2 per cent. detour line over Sol
dier Summit is finished, in July of
that year.
The Utah Utilities Company is to
furnish the power for the Utah lines,
and the Central Colorado Power Com
pany will probably furnish the cleo
tricity for the Colorado lines.
The improvements to be undertake
en- by the Denver & Rio Grande. the
Central Colorado Power, and the Utah
ptiiitito COMPANY Will dBSTtBdlG De-
tween twenty and twenty-five million
dollars, most of which will be expend-
ed during 1913 AND 1914.
Other units in addition to the two
mentioned will be added from time to
time, and eventually the entire sys-
TEN will be operated by electricity
generated by the great power in the
torrents now coursing down the
mountain sides and which is only
waiting to be harnessed.
This transition from steam to cleo
trio power is by far the most import
ant improvement plan yet announced
by the new management of the Den
yer & Rio Grande

Better Things Ahead

The inevitable return of public SEN
timent to progress and good health is
splendidly illustrated by the reply of
the governor of Florida to the COVER
nor of South Carolina, who startled
the governors convention with a de-
fense of lynch law and committed the
constitution TO perdition il it inter-
fered with his states favorite pastime.
The Negro race has no need to fear
incendiary remarks from any source.
The only danger that threatens us will
come as the expression of cold, de-
liberate judgment that we are not
worth while. 1t is in our power to
prevent the public from reaching
such a conclusion. Governor Blease
may rant, Tillman, Vardaman and
their ilk may condemn us, but we
have our fate in our own hands. We
realize fully that we come in for gen
eral disapproval when some member
of the race does wrong, but common
sense and fairness sooner or later
separates the good colored citizen
from the bad. SO that all need not
bear the condemnation part de
serves. On the whole the governors
convention incident is sign of bet
