the exception of minor bequests of

too easy, and liable to let go Of what
he has, not knowing how hard it is
to accumulate property"

their trust for Rufus 'provided they

business capacity and habits, that he
will not let it slip through his fingers,
and want him Judged fairly in this
respect"

the oldest son. Norman Gaynor is
just 81. When the will was made

When for the third time Coleman

manifested throughout the TWO pre-.

ONE MORTGAGE TO COVER ALI.
Rumored So. Ry. to Include All Debts
I'm $500, ,OOO, 600 Mortgage.
(Atlanta Constitution


The Southern Railway, through
President w. w. Finley, is planning
to rearrange the finances of the COM
pany in such manner that one sim
gle large mortgage will cover all the
present mortgages and care for all
new financial needs, it is said. This
policy is in line with that Of the
Great Northern, Burlington, New
York Central, st. Paul and other
lines.
This advanced policy, it is said,
is an outcome Of the need of large
amount Of money to carry out certain
progressive policies Of the road, such
as double-tracking etc. A great deal
of this work has been done under
President Finley's regime, and the
result is shown by the fact that the
earnings of the common stock in
1912 was 3B per cent, as against
one-half of one per cent in 1909.
If this new plan is adopted, it is
thought that it will be some time be-
fore any definite action is taken, but
it is understood that the final result
will be one mortgage covering the
entire bonded Indebtedness, which,
including certain leasehold obliga-
tionS, is approximately 100000, 1000.
