These figures show that the traffic
hauled by the railroads OF the country
has increased more than three times
as fast as the trackage, more than
twice as fast as the e. lipment and
more than twice as fast as the number
Of workers. This has been made pos
sible by far-sighted investment of new
capital to Increase the efficiency of the
transportation facilities and thereby
enable the railroads to increase the
amount OF traffic handled and reduce
the amount of labor required TO handle

Hottest June 13 in Augustus
History.

Augusta's temperature, mercurial-
ly speaking, yesterday, smashed all
the records for June 13 that Weather
Prophet Emigh has slowed away IN
his archives. The Fahrenheit ther-
mometer in Mr.. Emigh's sanctum re-
corded {. maximum for the day of
100 degrees the hottest June 13 since
the United States Weather Bureau
knew Augusta was on the map. And
what made it all harder to bear was
the fact that it was altogether out OF
line with the equable climate that is
in boast of the city by the Savannah,
No reports have come in of anyone
trying to fry an egg on Broad street
pavement but it could have been
done-at great saving rof cafe ser
vice.
Newspaper reportersrenjoy certain
privileges among which is the right
to tell the people how hot it is or was
without suffering violence. So here
goes. At 8 o'clock last night, Augusta
registered "a degrees. At the same
time Savannah was 80, Boston 60,
and San Antonio 72 degrees. Other
places in the United States were cor
respondingly cooler. New Orleans
was "a degrees and San Francisco
62. Watch for an increase in temper
ature at San Francisco in about two
weeks.
The. mean temperature yesterday
in Augusta was 81 degrees, or l6 de-
erees above normal. So far this year,
the temperature has been a great
deal below normal.
Phoenix is recorded on the weather
bureau report as missing" A troop
of calvary will be sent out to locate
it this morning, and some report
about the city should reach here by
tonight if the heat has not burned 1t
up.
Washington had a temperature OF
70 degrees at o'clock last night. In
cidently, practically all of the Repuo-
lican senators are absent from the
capital.-Augusta Chronicle.

Citizens Living Near Meri-
wether Consider Annexation
to Mccormick.

Mccormick, June 11.-At meet
ing of representative citizens of Nc
Cormick county held here this week
at which every qualified voter resid-
ing in the proposed territory to be
annexed to Mccormick county was
present, plans were perfected to set
in motion the machinery to survey
the six miles of Edgefeld county bor-
dering on Savannah river from about
three fourths of mile below Meri-
wether to point near the power
company's dam below Furey's ferry.
At this meeting, and before g man
left the house, the necessary sum of
money was raised to defray all ex-
penses of survey and election, and
committees were appointed and in
structed as to their dunties, which
began right then and there. A petit
ton to the governor for an election
will be presented in very few days.
In the extreme southern end of
Edgefeld county and adjoining Nc
Cormick county, there are about 8
miles of road from Mccormick coun-
ty to Furey's ferry. On the Georgia
side in Columbia county, are several
miles of the same kind of road which
breaks the link of good roads from
Greenwood to Augusta via McCor-
mick. This road, however, is 10 miles
shorter than any other road from
here to Augusta.
Furey's ferry being an ideal lc-
cation for the bridge, plans are on
foot to organize stock company and
build one there, if it can not be done
otherwise. This will give complete
line with the Dixie Highway with
many advantages over the present
official location of this Dixie High
way, one among them being the fact
that the railroad can be reached from
any point in less than Is minutes and
at the same time autoists can find ga
RACES and filling stations every few
miles. The people of Mccormick coun
ty have never felt that they were
treated exactly right about the loca-
tion of the Dixie Highway along its
present route and when this road is
completed, official or no official Dix
lie highway, the travel will necessarily
come the shortest and best road
where Accommodations will be at their
command, it is believed here.
At present the people in this pro-
posed area have to go by Meriwether
or Woodlawn and Augusta to get to
Edgefeld, their county seat, travel
ing a distance of 40 or so miles,
whereas they can come to McCor-
mick by automobile in less than an
hour or by rail at distance of about
21 miles and not have to leave the
state to get to their county-seat
either way.
