WEALTHIEST NEGRO IN WORLD.
Girl Living on Oklahoma Oil Lands
Has Large Income.
New York Herald.

New YORK Herald.
Sarah Rector, a I0-year-old negro
girl, who lives in humble cabin
near Muskogee, Okla, is said to have
the largest income Of any man or wo.
man Of her race in the world. The
|oyalties from the oil wells which the
small negro girl owns are coming in
at rate which makes her annual in
come twice as large as that Of the
president of the United States. De-
spite the fact that she is receiving the
sum of $475 every day Of her life,
which amounts to $14,25O month,
or $171,000 year, Sarah lives as sim
ply as any Of the other negro boys
and girls whose parents, like her
own, are tenant farmers and cotton
pickers. When she is old enough to
be sent away from home she will be
entered at some boarding school for
negro girls and some of her money
Will be spent in making her well
educated and accomplished woman.
Sarah Is the owner of 100 acres Of
oil land, which she has leased
through her guardian, T. j. Porter,
to the Prairie Oil and Gas company.
Two wells have been sunk, one OF
which yield 1000 barrels day, while
the second yields 1900 barrels. Ninu
more wells will soon be in operation,
and it is probable than Sarah's wealth
will then soar much higher.

CAARLESTON'S NEW RAILROAD
THE CHARLESTON NORTHERN
ASKS FOR A CHARTER.
Proposed Line Between Darlington
and Metropolis of State Believed
to be Connecting Link of SeabOartl,
to Meet Line Building out From
Hamlet, n. {. - Capital $2S,5OO,
with Right to Increase to One Mil
lion.

Columbia, Nov. 1.--Papers were
filed today with the Secretary Of
State for charter for the Charles
ton Northern Railway" a road fifty
seven miles long, with it's principal
place of business at Darlington, run
ming thence through the counties of
Georgetown. Berkeley and Charleston
and terminating in the latter city.
This is taken here to mean the Sea-
board Air Line Railroad.
The road has q minimum capital of
$2S,6OO and has the right, according
to the papers, to increase it's capital
to $1,OO0,000. The petitioners for
the charter are: d. T. McKeithan and
Bright Williamson, both wealthy and
prominent citizens Of Darlington, and
Jas D. Evans, leading man of Flor
ence.
This road, it is understood, will con-
meet with the Georgetown and Wes-
tern Railroad in the township OF
Black River in Georgetown County,
and is thought to be part Of the Sea-
board building from Hamlet, y. c.,
into Charleston. This will give the
metropolis OF South Carolina another
railroad. 1t means q great thing for
the future development of the port
and fOreShadOWs the inheritance Of
Charleston with the opening Of the
Panama Canal.

Investment in Motor Trucks.

When the motor truck industry was
in its infancy, only few years ago, a
close student Of economic conditions
predicted that before many years the
total investment in motor vehicles
would equal the present investment in
the railroads of the country.
Any industry which gives promise
of such gigantic proportions touches
the public interest closely. AS the
pleasure automobile has revolutionzed
country life. added untold acreage to
cities, and created anew a nation Of
lovers OF the out-Of- doors, so motor
transportation is creating a revolu-
ton in the manners and cost Of liv.
Ing which affects every individual.
even those whom the pleasure car has
not yet reached.
The consumer, the merchant, and
the manufacturer and the maker OF
motor trucks have problems to solve
In common--on the solution OF which
Will depend whether in the motor
truck society has a new and powerful
servant, cheap and efficient, or
whether II is being burdened by a
costly and wasteful addition to the
machinery OF civilization. All Of these
classes have q concern IT, the factors
which affect the efficiency OF motor We u.
hicles.
motOr-truck installation may be
q profitable investment-or il may
not. 1t should be. 1t would he diff
fcult to point out a class Of delivery
in which some type Of motor vehicle
cannot be made more profitable than
the horse drawn vehicle. The gem
eral efficiency Of the motor truck Is
an admitted fact.
The figures which prove this general
efficiency are astounding, but they are
incontrovertible. Considering it but
from two broad instances Of economy,
out OF many, contrast, If you please,
the stable that houses a fair-sized
equipment of horses and wagons
with the garage which would amply
shelter the trucks which might dis
place them. Add to this result Of
simple satisfaction in ground rent
the factor Of being able to locate the
garage at greater distance from the
store or warehouse, with no loss of
time or exhaustion of horses, and this
one economy assumes tremendous pro-
portions.
Consider also the cost of horse
mortality. Assuming that only 25 per
cent OF the 25,OOO,OOO horses ana
mules were used for city trucking and
delivery, and that the life Of these
6,25O,OOO averages six years, we have
an annual mortarilty represented in
cold cash, at the valution of Sl25 per
horse. by the sum OF $13O,612.5O0.
If we ask where business men are
to get the 1925, 10000 which opti.nis-
tc friends of the motor truck say Will
be invested iii it in 1914, we may
also ask how they can afford to lose
the larger sum, and there are those
that claim that the figures are low;
that nearly 40 per cent of the horses
are used in commercial work, and
that the average price should be at
least $50. Even discounting these
fBures to the limit leaves a good bal
ance To the credit of the motor truck.
