on the pleasure Of Gen. Carranza to-
day That the success of the con-
ferences here depend upon the will of
the constitutionalists. as expressed
through CarrahLa, was admitted by
the mediators, the Huerta delegates
and the American representatives.
All agreed that mediation was a
constructive operation in which the
least flaw as to understanding and
adherence TO the plan of settlement
would prove fatal While they do
not concede that Gen. Carranza is a
necessary factor in reaching an
agreement, they do point out that his
refusal TO grant an armiStice and to
submit to the advice of the confer
ence will leave the Huerta govern
ment unable to carry out its pledge Of
pacifcation.

tions in the south. His opinion is con frmed by a stateme mt made a few days ago by Chief Engineer Stuart of til !. Baltimore and Ohio railroad system. This highly competent authority made the somewhat startling assertion that 1t is not now question of finding busi- ness for the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road, as was the case in the early years when the rails of that company had crossed the mountains. but it is d question of handling the business that is offered. That company has in two or three years spent eighty-three mill lion dollars in increa sing its equip ment and perfecting it's lines. Yet so large an expenditure as that has not made it possible for that railroad com pany to keep pace with the normal growth of business in the great region which its lines penetrate.
 When some twenty years ago the state of New York expended nine mil lion dollars in improving the Erie canal, or trying to, it was discovered tat this money was practically wasted. 1t was not sufficient by many millions to make such Improvements as were contem- plated. Having learned that the true economy is in providing funds suf- ficient to carry out great purposes, the state of New York practically sent what the nine million dollars represented to
  appropriation of over one hundred mil . lion dollars so that this canal could be adequately improved. That great ex- penditure is now found to have been far more economieal than the early ex- penditure of nine million dollars.
 It is so with the railroad companies of the United States. The Southern Rail- road company, for instance, spent hun dred million in some eight years in inn proving it's property. Yet it was found that from one point of view it was not an economical expenditure. For the com pany was actually less able to handle the business after it had spent this large amount of money than it was before the expenditure began The reason is sim ple and logical. These improvements did stimulate business, but the business grew much faster than did the increased facilities of the railroad.
 In this connection the chief engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio finds the factors of what he regards grave and serious condition in the relation between the amount of business which the coun- try is now offering and the facilities which the railroads must have in order to handle that business so as not to stop its normal growth.

Conservative Estimate Adds Ten Per Cent to Democratic Voting
 Strength

Cullman, March 5.-(Special) con servative estimate adds 10 per cent to the democratic voting strength of Cullman county, in which case the votes in this primary will reach near 2500. The race for United States senator will be very close.
 An additional beat or voting precinct has been organized in Cullman county by the county commissioners, No. 25, with the place of voting designated as Welt. This was made necessary because of the distance to the Holly Pond precinct and the gradual growth of that part of the county.
 J. T. Slater of Birmingham has been invited to address the Culman Commer- cial club on Friday night of this week on the subject of equalizing freight rates. He was invited to Cullman by J. R. Rosson of the Democrat, and will be introduced by him. This is the issue before the club, and which has had an suspicious beginning.
 s. I. Griffin, chairman of the county democratic executive committee will re- tire with this primary. MT. Griffin has served the county for 10 years in this capacity and has done valiant service for the party. He is no wthe postmaster of Cullman.

to navigation it is imperative that the railroads which have terminals upon the gulf or the lower Atlantic coast should improve these terminal facilities and should also improve their lines stretch ing from the terminals to the interior. They probably would be only tooo glad to make preparations of this kind if they knew where they could find the money. This, in fact, is the chief req son why the eastern railroads desire an increase, in their freight rates of per cent.
