Gain in Net Earnings Shown.

Officials of the Haeerstown and Fred
erlck Railway Co. Monday met at Hae-
erstown for conference on new plan
OF underwriting the road which will be
submitted to all parties concerned at
meeting to be held shortly The new plan
provides for the absolute control of the
combined roads by Hagerstown and
Frederick capitalists, and Messrs. Allen
ana Peck will be retained as operators of
the road.
AT the conference, which was attended
by nearly all of the directors Of the road.
the following statement of the earnings OF
the road, up to November I. the first six
months under Allen and Peck of opera
ton OF the combined roads, compared to
the same six months of the previous year,
was submitted as follows:
Gross Earnings 800. .S77 oS
Galn IN Gross Earnings. ......... I5,So1.o6
Net Earnings 77.7so Ss
Gain in Net Earnings. 20, s72.2 "a
Interest, Taxes Fixed Charges 81. 500. a
Surplus for Stockholders. 80. I5,I63.Sf
Gain in Surplus S 23o.o 90
During the six months. the combined
company has paid the interest on the in.
debtedness of the new power house at
Security, and it has also paid for the
maintenance of the place, a charge which
in former years did not have to be met.
The statement submitted according TO
Mr. Emory l.. Coblentz, vice president
OF the company, shows most healthy
condition of affairs, and especially as
considerable repairing of tracks, etc,
was done. The gain in earnings is most
pleasing, and it is claimed that as the
freight business OF the Hagerstown end of
the line is gradually developed that the
earnings will increase more than ever.
While the Hagerstown lines had a good
passenger business, yet the freight bust.
ness had been neglected. This is being
brought up, and it is expected that this
source of revenue will be brought to sew
erai times its present volume.

A violation of the ten-hour law for
women has been charged and warrants
sworn oul by the iuspectress, Miss Mary

of the stores of the city.
Several of the merchants who were
seen and against whom warrants had
been issued. stated that they did not an
ticipate any trouble in clearing them
selves of the charges made against them
One merchant who was charged with not
having any card displayed, stated that
such a card was on display, and that he
could prove this.
Another merchant stated that person
ally he intended TO fight the case to the
bitter end, and stated that merchants of
the city would raise quite fund in order
to make test.
The fine for any violation of the provi-
sions of the Ten-Hour Law for Women is

FOR

This county is given a great
opportunity to demonstrate both
its progressive spirit and its nat
ural resources by securing the
coming here next month Of the
alfalfa and corn and hay experts.
Corn Club Smith" in his recent
lecture here said that we were
living now in an age of readjust-
ment in every line, ard he was
eminently right. The farmer as
much as the business man and
politician must adjust himself and
his methods to the conditions Of
the times. The farmers Of Nox-
ubee county cannot compete sue
cessfully with the farmers of
other counties and states if we
use antiQuated methods and they
modern. In fact half of the adj
vantages of Noxubee consist of
the superior spirit and intelli-
gence of its people, and here is a
splendid opportunity to manifest
those qualities.
The gentlemen occupying
places on the various committees
are working for the public good
and deserve the assistance of ev-
erybody, and the substantial aid
of those able to contribute to the
public good.

Great School For LewiSbur9:

to Prof. M. NJ. Summar as princi
pal of Haynes Mclean School,
was here during the week.
Mr.. Price stated that the name
of the school would be changed
from Haynes Mclean to that of
the Price Webb School, and that
ex Senator W. II. Webb, of Bell
Buckle, would become advisory
associate principal of the school,
and would give considerable of his
time to this school. 1t is Mr..
Webb's plan to make weekly visits
to Lewisbulg and lecture to the
students of Price Webb, and Mt
all times will his sound advice be
available.
This is the greatest piece of news
and good fortune that has come to
Lewisburg in many years. This
co plrtnerShip between Mr.. Price,
who possesses the enthusiasm of
youth and ability to support his
ideas, combined with the wisdom
and many years of rich experience
and successful efforts of Mr.. Webb
gives to Lewisburg, to Marshall
county and the state at large, one
of the best schools in the entire
South.
+, Mr.. Price states that he is meet
ing with the most encouraging
prospects in soliciting students for
the Price Webb School, having al,
ready assurances of a large mum
Der of boarding pupils, and he will
doubtless open the fall term with
one of the largest enrollments OF
any school in the history of the
