SOUTHERN RAILWAY new TRADEMARK

The Southern Railway Company
has adopted new and attractive
trade mark as shown above. The
design "SR" is symbolic to the
name Of the road and the wording
THE Southern Serves the South is
suggestive of the many lines oper-
ated by the Southern Railway
throughout all of the states south
of the Ohio and Potomac and east
of the Mississippi rivers.
There is hardly a city or town of
Importance through ut the entire
South that is not connected with
the balance of the South, either .di-
rectly by the Southern Railways
own trains or by sleeping car lines
over other roads in connection with
Southern Railway, via some ad-
jacent junction point.
On this account the title The
Southern Serves the South" was
adopted as being appropriate
Southern Railway spends about
&2)O,000.00 year in advertising
and great deal of this advertising
/, done in the Northern, Eastern
md Western sections of the coun-
try so as to attract people into the
South, and on al OF this advertising
matter this trade mark will appear
hereafter.

GOVERNOR NOT To
GIVE HEARINGS
Will Receive Briefs on Appropria-
tion Bills, but Wants to Save
His Time Now

Governor Brumbaugh will not give
hearings to any one on appropriation
bills now in his hands for action. No
tices to this effect are being issued
from the executive department to all
persons who ask to be heard regard
ing bills, but 1t is stated that the Gov
ernor will be glad to receive briefs in
support of any bills.
In this course the Governor is fol-
lowing predecessors who found that
the time taken up in appropriation
hearings prevented consideration of
other measures. The Governor Is
working on the appropriations for the
conduct of the State government, and
it is expected that the general appro-
priation bill carrying the funds for
two years will be disposed of by
Tuesday when the fiscal year begins.
Ordinarily general appropriation bills
are held until the close of the period
in which to act on bills, but the Gov
ernor says that he considers 1t imper-
ative to act on appropriations first. The
workmen's compensation acts will
come along next.
The Governor said last night that
he would not make any appointments
of Importance before next week when
he will likely announce the agricul-
tural commission.
