SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
Company to Spend Ten Million Dol
lars in Improving in the Sou'h.

The belief CT the management OF
Southern Railway Company that the
business depression in the South,
brought about by the effect Of the
European war on the market for cot
ton, is TO be of short duration and
that Southern progress will soon call
for additional transportation facill-
ties, is shown by the fact that work
is being pushed on Il comprehensive
plan of Improvement, which will
greatly increase the carrying capac-
ity Of the Southern Railway system
and which involves expenditures ag-
gregating Approximately $10,O00,GO0.
most of which is being paid out in
the South for labor and materials
and is thus contributing TO the re-
establishment of Southern prosper
ity. Funds for this work had fort
unately been provided prior to the
beginning of the war.
One of the most important features
of the work now under way is the
double tracking of - miles of the
main line in Virginia and North Car
olina which, when completed, will
give the company double tract;
line from Washington, D. c.. toI
Charlotte, n. c., with the exception
OF five short pieces Of single track
with an aggregate length OF 81 miles
and will make the total length Of
double track between Washington and
Atlanta. 337 miles. Short pieces of
double track are also being built at
Chattanooga and Memphis
The double-track work being done
north of Danville, Va, involves the
of new concrete via
duct, 900 feet long, across the Dan
River.
As the volume of traffic that car
be moved over railroad is largely
controlled by the capacity Of its ter
minals. terminal facilities are being
largely increased at several import
ant points.
Entirely new receiving and gravity
yards and local freight
and storage yard, with roundhouse.
coaling station, and other appurtcn-
anccs, are being constructed just
north CT birmingham. W. the nov
yards will contain approximately 50
miles Of track with capacity Of
nearly 1000 cars. New yards. Simi-
lar in character to those at Finley.
with a capacity of LOCO cars. are be-
ing constructed just east Of Mem
phis. At Richmond and South Rich
mond. Va, improvements are being
made which will greatly facilitate
the handling Of traffic nj that I'M
nortant point. F'rei%ht-handilng Ia
cilities at Mobile. Ala. are bong
LARGELY increased, and important inl~
in freight. facilities at
Atlanta and at other points arc he
ing made.
One of the most important Of the
terminal improvements Is the new
coal dock now being constructed ..
Charleston. s. c.. on lands adjoin-
ing the Cooper River.

SUFFER BAGS DEERi
 TAYLOR LEAVES HIS
Local Legal Lights Return From Exciting Deer Chase In
 HuaChuCaS

Judge Fred Sutter and U. S. Com. missioner J. D. Taylor returned yes terday from a five days hunting trip in the Chiricahua mountains. Be. side a quantity of small game they killed one deer. and he fell before the rife of Judge Sutter. This makes the second deer the judge has killed this season which is the limit the law allows one man, and as the Judge is law-abidine citizen he will have to forego the pleasure of bring Ing down another one before the sea son closes. The deer he killed on this trip is a magnificent big buck. with a splendid head which the judge has shipped away to have mounted.
 Commissioner Taylor says he left his deer grazing on the range and that he is fattening him up for fu- ture use. This decision was reached just before starting for home Mir Taylor suddenly decided that antici- patton is better than realization and that it would be more fun to dream about that deer for awhile and then go back and get him.

COINCIDENCE IN PRO-
 GRAM AT ROYAL TODAY
Two Pictures In Entire Program And Yet Both Have Exactly
 The Same Name

One of the most remarkable coin cidents in the history of motion pic ture programs in Bisbee, or probably anywhere else, occurs tonight at the Royal theatre when two pictures, en- nrely different in theme and treat ment, but with exactly the same name, will be shown
 The pictures are entitled "The Lily of the Valley" One is a threereel Selig and the other a two-reel Vita graph Both are of unusual interest The Selig depicts a terrible conflict between capital and labor, with an absorbing love story interwoyen. It shows fighting between strikers and the militia and Is full of exciting sit nations. The Vitagraph is the study of a young mans love and how he gives up his fortune to protect the independence of the girl he loves, and how it all comes right in the end. In it are Lillian Walker. Earl Williams Kate Price and a galaxy of other stars.
 Manager Joe Norcross did not know of the coincidence in having a program entirely of the same name and yet embracing different pictures until he received the films and he considers it a decided omen of good luck.
