many cars be taken from the road each day as are received, otherwise there can be but one result. There fore, the greater the extent to which cars are made empty the more rapid ly can the company bring to you the freight which you desire.
 Many improvements in tracks and terminals have already been authoriz- ed and some are being constructed, but the benefit to be obtained from those will be in the future, because it will take considerable time to do the necessary work.
 The management wishes to give the maximum amount of service with the facilities that it now owns and with the cooperation of all patrons along the lines herein suggested, an increased use can be made of those facilities and the more certain will it be that the affairs of the patrons and of the railroad will be handled along lines of mutual interest. profit and goodwill.

SIMPLY BORROWS CLOTHES.
Frank Allis shows Court he Did Not
 Intend to Steal Garments.

Frank Alls, a proud young man from Boston who borrowed a suit of clothes from a friend that he might appear at work dressed in the heighth of fashion, was before Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morn .ng charged with theft The accused was discharged when it appeared that his attention was not to steal the clothes, that he simply borrowed them intending to return then in the course of a few hours.
 The clothes belonged to Frank Davis of Main street who took Allis into his home a couple of weeks ago and boarded him until he could find work Allis said that his fellow em- ployes at the Stanley Works twitted him about his own shabby clothes so he thought he would fool them. Ac- cordingly, he borrowed the haber- dashery of his friend. Before he could return the clothing he was ar rested.
 The only other case before Judge Meskill today was that of Jerry liar rison, charged with violation of pro- bation. The probation was revoked.

The Rural Credits Law.

That the rural credits act will be of great
benefit to the agricultural sections of the
country cannot be questioned. Senator
Smith, of Georgia, is one of those RESPONSE
BILE for the BILL which has had a favorable
report from the banking and currency com
mittees of both house of congress. The
measure is largely due to his work, which
means that it is an able one.
1t is not questioned that the establishment
of these banks will be of inestimable benefit
to the agriculturists of Georgia and other
states. The farmer is now handicapped by
his inability to secure sufficient money with
which to conduct and protect his business
The money ordinarily to be had for loans
is too high-priced for him, and often he is
not able to get it in sufficient quantity and
at the proper time, even if he were willing
and able to pay the premium.
Cheaper money is, in fact one of the
most compelling needs of the modern-day
farmer and the rural credits bill proposes
to come to his aid in a manner which will
be effective without interfering with the
legitimate province of the ordinary CONNER
cial banks. The capital of the new banks
will be raised by subscriptions, and the gov
eminent will step in with its assistance only
when necessary to complete the capital
stock. The individual investments in stock
will return dividends, whereas the govern
ment's part of the investments will not. The
farm loan board will appoint three direct
ors for each bank, and each of these direct
ors must be a director of the district in
which the institution is located
The bill is designed as a genuine help to
the farmers of the United States, and all
of them, including those of Georgia, will not
be long in approaching it's direct benefits
once they are in operation.

The Threatened Strike.

The railroads of the United States are
threatened with the biggest strike in the his
tory of the country. The employees are de-
handing an eight-hour day, and pay for ten
hours In other words, where man is now
being paid four dollars per day for working
ten hours they want to work only eight
hours and receive four dollars. If they
should be required to work over eight hours
they demand pay at the rate of one and one
half extra. While he is being paid fifty
cents per hour for each hour on the eight
hour basis he demands seventy-five cents per
hour for each additional hour, which will
make ten hours cost five dollars and half
The railroads appreciate the gravity OF
the situation that confronts them, and have
agreed to accede to the demands for eight
hours, but decline to pay for ten hours work
when only eight hours work is done.
One of the negro fremen on Georgia
railroad is now receiving $94.5O. Under the
new demand he will receive $106.58. The
increase in the pay of engineers and firemer
will be at the same ratio all over the United
States if the demands of the labor unions are
enforced.
The railroads have endeavored to adjust
the threatened strike by arbitration, but
nothing has been accomplished, as every
overture has been fatty rejected, the only
answer being that the demands of the EN-
ployes must be met unequivocally.
Many of the railroads, it is claimed, arr
now being operated at loss, as the income
will not meet expenses. If the increase il
wages should be paid, they assert, Their
would have to be an increase in freight ant
passenger rates to meet the increased de
mand. It is possible that every railroad il
the United States will be affected by tn
strike next month

NezV England Fortunes
Founded on Rum and SIdUeS

Students of New England history will find
interest in the story recently published tell
ing of schooner being chartered in Boston
at a cost of $4,000 for the purpose of trans
porting a cargo of rum to the west coast of
Africa, says the Hartford Courant. This
rather innocent announcement carries with it
familiar story to those who have delved
into the early history of slavery in the north
as we'll as in the south; for, strange as it
may appear, rum and slaves were quite close
ly connected in the good old days.
Boston and Medford rum played promi-
nent part in the development of slavery,
and no matter how reluctantly we may re-
call the fact northern rum had much to do
with the extension of slavery in the south.
Many people in New England not only
made snug fortunes for themselves, but left
good estates for others to enjoy after them,
by sending rum to Africa to be exchanged
for slaves, and then selling the slaves to the
planters in the southern states.
Even the sanity and brilliant President
Stiles of Yale college once sent barrel of
rum to Africa to be exchanged for slave.
At one time upward of 5000 negroes were
held as slaves in Connecticut. The thrifty
Boston traders went further than the Con-
necticut men. They brought sugar from
Jamaica, turned it into rum at Boston and
Medford, sent the rum back to the west
coast of Africa and exchanged it for black
men, transported them to Jamaica and then
traded them for more sugar to be made into
more rum to be traded for more slaves And
so the traffic continued.
That this traffic was quite profitable and
that the triangular method of dealing in SUI
gar, rum and slaves founded many large
Boston fortunes is only a matter of his
tory.
When the business of supplying slaves
10 h. Id
it had to be abandoned the ships that were
formerly used by the traders were turned
into whaling vessels, and New Bedford reap
ed the benefit of the change.
